1.1 STATEMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM

a. Introduction:

In the modern society, computers are no longer treated as stand-alone machines.

Instead, they are communicating to share resources and data through computer networks. The

Internet, which is a network of these networks, has been used in many applications since the

last century. One such application domain which has been growing very rapidly is E-

Commerce. Today, Internet can be used to run any business. This can be considered as a good

alternative to the traditional business systems because the Internet is used by a large number

of users today and so the business can be spread among a large number of people in a very

short time. Online shopping is a part of E-commerce in which users can buy and sell products

online. This is similar to a traditional shop in which users can choose their products and buy

them after payment. The only difference is that users need not have to go anywhere to buy the

product. He can buy the product at home by using a computer which is connected to the

Internet.

b. Problem Definition:

Online Shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly

buy products or services from a seller over the Internet. An Online Shop is analogous to a

physical shop in which goods or services are sold. However, instead of setting up a physical

shop, the online shopping system uses a website to buy and sell products. The seller displays

the products on the website and the buyers select their desired products for buying. The buyer

includes all the selected products in a cart and proceeds for payment. There are several

options for payment. The buyer can choose either cash on delivery option or he/she can use

credit/debit card or netbanking facility for payment. After verification of the payment, the

physical product is sent to the buyer. If the product is received by the buyer, an

acknowledgement will be sent by him and the product database will be updated by the

administrator of the Online Shopping System. Also, the product database is updated whenever

a new product is included into the inventory.

1.2 WHY IS THE PARTICULAR TOPICCHOSEN?

Electronic commerce has become a major application of Internet today. A vast

majority of users prefer Internet to buy and sell products. The main reason behind this is that

users need not have to go to a physical shop for shopping. They can buy their required

products at home or office or anywhere using Internet. This results in the need of many online

shops. To manage these online shops efficiently, Online Shopping Systems are required.

There are thousands of Online shopping systems which have been running business over

Internet. However, some of these systems fail to perform the transactions effectively, some

others use lengthy processes for buying products that make customers getting bored, some

others fail to provide required security in cash payment, and so on. I have chosen this

particular topic so that I can build a system which allows customers to buy their required

products by following just some simple steps and their transaction is more secure and reliable.

1.3 METHODOLOGY

Brief Summary

The Online Shopping System will be a Web-based system. It allows Internet users to

buy products online. Users can choose products from various categories displayed in the web

site and place order to buy those products. The main advantage of this system is that it allows

the sellers to sell their products worldwide and also the buyers to buy their desired products at

home. The system will allow the buyers to buy products quickly and safely.

Top-down Design Approach

I will follow top-down design approach for building the proposed Online Shopping

System. Top-down design approach starts with a description of the overall system and usually

consists of a hierarchical structure which contains more detailed descriptions of the system at

each lower level. The lower level design details continue until further subdivision is no longer

possible, i.e., until the system is described in terms of its "atomic" parts.

Structured Analysis and Structured Design Methodology

I will follow structured analysis and design methodology in order to build the Online

Shopping System.

Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) is a systems engineering and

software engineering methodology for describing systems as a hierarchy of functions. The

aim of the structured analysis activity is to transform a textual problem description into a

graphic model. More precisely structure analysis is used to carry out the top down

decomposition of the set of high-level functions depicted in the problem description and

represents them graphically.

In structured design all functions identified during structured analysis are mapped to a

module structure and is directly implemented using a conventional programming language.

Iterative Waterfall Model Methodology

The iterative waterfall methodology will be followed in order to develop the Online

Shopping System. In Iterative waterfall methodology we can come back to previous phases,

and can make the changes accordingly. It is very well suited for this system because this

model provides feedback paths from every phase to its preceding phases so that the errors

committed during a phase can be corrected as and when these are detected in a later phase of

development. We review the final output product at the end of the Software Development Life

Cycle.

1.4 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

Objectives:

The Online Shopping System enables the vendors to set up online shops, customers to

browse through the shops, and a System Administrator to approve or reject requests for

shopping items and maintain lists of shop categories.

Our Online Shopping System will use the Internet as the sole method for selling goods

to the customers. Shopping will be highly personalized and the system will provide more

security to perform online transactions than most competitors. Our system will showcase a

complete shopping experience in a small package.

Scope:

The scopes of the project are stated as follows-

Initial functional requirements will be:

Secure registration and profile management facilities for customers. Browsing through the Shopping web site to see the items in each category of

products like Books and Media, Electronics items, Clothing and Footwear,

Home and Kitchen Appliances, Games, and many more. Adequate searching mechanisms for easy and quick access to particular

products and services. Creating a Shopping cart so that customers can shop n no. of items

simultaneously and checkout finally with the entire shopping carts. Feedback mechanism, so that customers can give feedback for the product or

service which they have purchased. Adequate payment mechanism and gateway for all popular credit cards,

cheques and other relevant payment options, as available from time to time.

Initial non-functional requirements will be:

Secure access of confidential data (users details). SSL can be used. 24 x 7 availability. Better component design to get better performance at peak time. Flexible service based architecture for future extension.

1.8 TESTING TECHNOLOGIES

Testing Technologies that will be used are:

1) Unit Testing

2) Integration Testing

3) Validation Testing

4) White Box Testing

5) Compatibility Testing

6) Security Testing

1) Unit Testing:

Unit testing emphasizes the verification effort on the smallest unit of software design,

i.e. a software component or module. Unit testing is a dynamic method for verification, where

program is actually compiled and executed. Unit testing is performed in parallel with the

coding phase. In Unit testing, units or modules of the software are tested, not the whole

software.

2) Integration Testing:

In integration testing, a system consisting of different modules is tested for problems

arising from component interaction. Integration testing should be developed from system

specification.

3) Validation Testing:

It provides final assurances that software meets all functional, behavioural and

performance requirements.

4) White Box Testing:

In White Box Testing, knowing the internal working of the product, tests can be

conducted to ensure that internal operations are performed according to specification and all

internal components have been adequately exercised.

5) Compatibility Testing:

Compatibility of my online shopping system is very important testing aspect. The

different compatibility tests to be executed are:

Compatibility with different browsers.

Operating System Compatibility

Other System Software (Web server, networking tool, etc.) Compatibility

17 | P a g e

6) Performance testing:

The Online shopping system should sustain to heavy traffic load. Web performance

testing should include:

Load Testing

Stress Testing

Endurance Testing (Soak testing)

Configuration Testing

Isolation Testing

1.9 WHAT CONTRIBUTION THE PROJECT WOULD

MAKE?

The project will make a great contribution to the Internet users because the proposed

system provides facility to buy and sell products online without setting up a physical store. It

will allow the sellers to sell their products worldwide and the buyers to choose their required

items from a variety of items of different category. It will therefore be a good alternative to a

physical store. The different payment mechanisms will also facilitate the buyers to make their

payments securely and reliably.

1.10 LIMITATION

The limitation of the proposed system is as follows:

a. Users can provide wrong address for delivery of the product. This

cannot be evaluated by the system.

b. The specifications of the items displayed in the website may differ

from the actual specifications of the delivered item.

c. Delivery of the item to the customer may be delayed due to

shipping problem because it will not be managed by our Online

Shopping system.

d. The system will not generate any printed report for the transactions.

18 | P a g e

1.11 CONCLUSION

Online shopping is a popular trend in the modern society. Today, people often prefer to

buy products online from their home instead of going to a physical store. There are lots of

advantages of online shopping. The customer can check the specifications of a product very

carefully without anybodys interference. He can choose items of different categories and

different brands without going to different stores. Online shopping systems provide 24 X 7

shopping facility. The sellers also prefer to sell their products online because they can reach a

large number of customers at a short while. Online shopping systems also provide advertising

space for new products. Our Online shopping system will also try to provide all these

advantages of online shopping.
