Part A
Who are you going to interview and why?

I am going to question to the librarians and general users of this software

What are the questions?

1. At the conclusion of the development phase, what do you anticipate the application will
be capable of doing?

If we know the answer to this question, it will be much easier for us to avoid having any
unrealistic expectations.

2. Where do you stand in terms of the timeline for this project?

Every software development project is required to meet certain time constraints, milestones, or
deadlines. Customers could be required to fulfill commitments to investors, and the schedule
might be contingent on the strategic development strategy, marketing efforts, or significant
events of the firm. Developers are able to build a clear and realistic plan for development,
define priorities, and allocate resources in the most effective manner when they are aware of
the time restrictions. This enables them to achieve the deadline that has been set.

3. What Essential Information Do I Require Regarding the Software Development

Method?

The motivation of these questions is when developing bespoke software, it is essential to get as
much knowledge as possible about the software development process. This approach is
essentially the process model, the rules connected with development, and the creation of the
systems meant to execute the software. It also involves the development of the systems. The
interviewing of support personnel and members of your intended audience is one example of a
step that needs to be taken with this method. Other examples of steps that should be
performed with this method include propositions for improved performance with the software
development process, plans related to the development, setup, and usage of the software
solutions, and so on.

4. Which Kinds of Technologies Will Be Employed in This Process?

You will draw from a number of different technological areas while developing bespoke
software. When deciding between various types of technologies, the aspects of the software's
programming code, the maintenance that will be necessary to keep the program up to date,
and the possibility of the development of bespoke software in the future are the most
important considerations to give careful thought to.

5. Which Functionalities Are on Your Priority List to Be Implemented in the Near

Future?

This issue must be considered carefully in order to arrive at the best architectural conclusions.
After all, you may be able to envisage your product in a few years' time and know what features
you will need to integrate at that point. You will be able to create a fantastic evolution plan for
your product if you take everything into consideration.

6. What are the Prerequisites for the Data Storage Process?

Any individual must acquire data, store it, or analyses it while they are working. Before
beginning the process of development, you must have the answers to the following questions:
what sort of data it will be, what storage rules will apply to it, how it will be processed, and, if
required, how it will be removed. With this information, you'll be able to choose the database
storage option that's best for your needs.
Part B

That only one person at a time can take out a loan, but that member may borrow either one
book or many books under one loan, creating a one-to-one connection or a one-to-many
relationship, respectively. There is a one to one connection between the book and the publisher
since only one book will be published by that publisher; yet, there is a one to many links
between the book and the author because only one book will have one or more writers.
