Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds 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 offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.

The website will offer the following:

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

Provide the customer to give general feedback

Ken selects an iterative 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 documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.

The test basis contains the following:

-Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site

-HTML pages developed to date.

-A statement of non-functional requirements.
