Analysis, Design & Implementation of proposed system

3.1 Introduction:

This chapter represents an overview of the system requirements needed to achieve the goals of the study, including description of software requirement, system diagram and use case.

3.2 System Requirements

The proposed system needs the following Requirements:

– Interface Requirements

The system will be professional in its appearance and it has a user-friendly interface for the user to input the relevant data and obtain the corresponding results.

– Usability Requirements

a. Ease of use

The system will be able to be used quickly and easily. It will be forgiving if an error is made and will ask for confirmation before entering into a timely process.

b. Ease of learning.

This system will be easy to learn for a novice user.

c. Accessibility requirements.

It is not currently planned to add accessibility to the application (e.g. large font for the visually impaired).

– Performance Requirements

a. Speed and latency requirements

The system will produce a viable Order within a reasonable amount of time and provide feedback on the progress.

b. Safety critical requirements

There are not felt to be any safety critical requirements for this system.

c. Reliability and Availability requirements

This program will be available either through the web or on a machine.

e. Robustness requirements

The program will have sufficient error handling abilities that it will not crash any other part of the system.

f. Scalability or extensibility requirements

The program will be able to handle a Sales shop with up to 150 user and customers.

– PC Requirements

You will need a PC with an Internet connection. A printer is optional.

– Software Requirements

Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher or another browser of the same generation is required to access the application.

– Maintainability and Support Requirements

a. Maintenance of the system

New product, category and Vouchers must able to be added by the admin. This system must easily maintainable.

b. Supportability

There will be online help and/or a printed manual.

c. Portability requirements

The product is expected to run under any operating system that run explorer IE or other web browser and its successors or through a web browser.

– Security Requirements

a. Access requirements

Anyone have ability to enter the system (admin or customer) each one have its own password and user name. The customer can retrieve and create a new orders and the admin can enter new product and can see the customer orders. Each one has its own page.

b. Integrity requirements

Wherever possible, system will prevent incorrect data from being introduced and shall protect itself from accidental misuse.

In the event of lost integrity, complete system (and settings), data, and most recent current Orders will be reloaded from backup source. This may be a manual process analogous to opening a previous copy of a data after system has crashed.

c. Privacy requirements

The Customer and Order information will be entered into the program and stored. This program will need to be kept on a PC that has adequate security. The program is not providing security.

-Cultural and Political Requirements

The system will not account for holidays or multilingual display.

3.3 Users of the OSS:

Potential users of this system are administrators and Customers of OSS. The Customer will enter the required information in the Order form. Also, the admin must fill his form with required information. However, the Customer will register themselves, enter constraints into the software, and build Orders. The administrator will have familiarity with the way the Order should be filled. The Customer will be anywhere from a novice with using computer programs to an expert.

3.4 The proposed system design

In the proposed system design the customer will select category of product and after that the system will show him all product under this category. Customer will select the product and also select the wanted quantity and add this product to the cart shopping. The system automatically will show all cart products with their price and quantity and the total for each product and also the net total for all orders. The proposed system consists of the

• Order Page
• Register Page
• Product Page
• Admin pages
• Category Pages
• ASP.NET:

Prior to the advent of ASP.NET, three main technologies and platforms were available to develop Web applications: ASP, Java Server Pages (JSP), and the open source Web platform commonly referred to as LAMP (Linux plus Apache plus MySQL plus either Perl, Python, or PHP as the Programming language). [5]

Visual Studio:

Visual Studio is a container environment that integrates the functionality of multiple visual designers. You have a designer for building Windows applications, one for building Web sites, one for building Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services, and so on. All items required by your work-such as references, connectors to data sources, folders, and files-are grouped at two levels: solutions and projects. A solution container contains multiple projects, whereas a project container typically stores multiple items. Using these containers, you manage for your solution as a whole or for individual projects. Each item in the project displays its own set of properties though a secondary through a secondary window-the properties window.[6]
