Software Requirements Specification (SRS) for Health Insurance Premium Calculator

Introduction

Purpose:

The purpose of this document is to define the requirements for the development of a Health Insurance Premium Calculator. This web-based application aims to estimate the premium for health insurance policies based on factors such as age, coverage, and other relevant parameters.

Scope:

The Health Insurance Premium Calculator will provide users with an interface to input details such as age, desired coverage, and additional factors. The application will calculate and display the estimated premium for health insurance policies.

System Overview

System Description:

The system will be a client-server application. Users will access the Health Insurance Premium Calculator through a web browser. The server will handle the logic for premium calculations.

System Architecture:

The application will follow a three-tier architecture: presentation layer (client-side browser), application layer (server-side processing), and data layer (storage and retrieval of data).

Functional Requirements

Use Cases:

Estimate Health Insurance Premium:

• Users can input details such as age, desired coverage, and additional factors.
• The system will calculate and display the estimated premium for health insurance policies based on the provided information.

Functional Requirements:

Input:

The system shall allow users to enter the following details:

• Age (Integer)
• Desired Coverage (Decimal or Range)
• Additional Factors (if applicable, e.g., pre-existing conditions)

Calculation:

• The system shall calculate the estimated premium for health insurance policies based on standard parameters and user-input details.

Output:

• The system shall display the calculated estimated premium to the user.

External Interface Requirements

User Interfaces:

• The user interface shall consist of input fields for age, desired coverage, and additional factors, along with a “Calculate” button.
• The calculated estimated premium shall be displayed prominently.

Hardware Interfaces:

• The system should be compatible with standard computing hardware.

Software Interfaces:

• The application will be developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend.
• The backend can be implemented using a server-side framework (e.g., Node.js, Django) with a database for data storage.

Communication Interfaces:

• The application will communicate with the server for premium calculations.

Performance Requirements

 Response Time:

The system should provide a response time of under 5 seconds for a typical user input.

Throughput:

The application should handle at least 50 simultaneous users.

System Constraints

Regulatory Requirements:

The application should comply with relevant health insurance regulations.

Hardware Limitations:

The system should be compatible with devices supporting standard web browsers.

Security Requirements

Authentication:

User authentication may be implemented for personalized features.

Data Protection:

User data, if stored, should be securely protected.

Quality Attributes

Reliability:

The application should provide accurate premium estimates based on the entered details.

Maintainability:

The code should be well-documented for ease of maintenance.

Usability:

The user interface should be intuitive, requiring minimal guidance.

Testing Requirements

Test Cases:

Test cases should cover various scenarios with different ages, desired coverage, and additional factors to ensure accurate premium estimates.

Test Case 1:

• Inputs: Age = 30, Desired Coverage = 5,00,000 INR, Additional Factors = None.
• Expected Output: Estimated Premium ≈ 5,000 INR.

Test Case 2:

• Inputs: Age = 45, Desired Coverage = 10,00,000 INR, Additional Factors = Pre-existing condition.
• Expected Output: Estimated Premium ≈ 8,000 INR.

Test Case 3:

• Inputs: Age = 25, Desired Coverage = 2,00,000 INR, Additional Factors = None.
• Expected Output: Estimated Premium ≈ 2,500 INR.

Acceptance Criteria:

The application is considered successful if it produces correct premium estimates based on the provided details.

Project Timeline

Milestones:
