Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds fnds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to ofer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response tmes. The website will ofer the following:

Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactons

-

Provide the customer to give general feedback Ken selects an iteratve model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentaton is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:

-Story boards that show the informaton fow and page links through the site -HTML pages developed to date.

-

A statement of non-functonal requirements.
