Chapter 3: System Analysis and Design
3.1. System Analysis
Since, the system initial requirements are well understood and the project deadline is also
fixed already and there may be the chance of changes in technology and some changes must
be made in the system in future. The project teams believe that the best approach in this
environment is following iterative nature. Each iteration will contain set of SDLC steps
(planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation). Agile Methodology allows for regular
testing to see whether the product is working or not during development phase. It
demonstrates the working functionalities. It gives freedom when recent changes are needed
to be implemented. Agile means faster product release since less time is there to complete
the project So, this is appropriate method of software development. [4]
Figure 1: Agile Methodology
3.1.1. Requirement Specification
The software requirements are description of features and functionality of the target system.
Requirements convey the expectations of users from the software product. The
requirements can be obvious or hidden, known or unknown, expected or unexpected from
client’s point of view. So, it's important to make them clear both for the development team
and the stakeholders. The known requirements of the system to be developed are divided
into two categories (functional and non-functional) and are mentioned below:
4
i. Functional Requirements
1. System should allow Customer to order the Product.
2. System should allow admin to add, update, and delete product details.
3. System should allow to view the product details.
4. Customer can search the products.
5. Customer should be able to make payment through the website.
6. Customer Order Details report should be generated.
7. Customer can review the products.
8. Customer can give feedback the products.
ii. Non-Functional Requirements
Reliability Requirement
The system must perform accordingly to the member request. Transactions must be tracked
efficiently. Data and information should not be lost. Changes must be reflected to the
database. Besides, the registration should validate for wrong input of information.
Usability Requirements
The system must be designed with user-friendly and easy to use by the staff so that the user
can perform their job nicely. It must have a clear instruction to guide user through the
system. Besides that, the description of error message should be clear.
Implementation Requirements
While implementing the system, XAMPP must be installed. When wee lunch the system
online, users can directly order from our portal.
Security Requirements
The system must be highly secured. User records manipulation is only accessible to the
admin level user.

3.1.2. Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is a way to evaluate the practicality and desirability of a project. Before
a company invests time and money into a project, they need to know how successful the
project will be before investing. Sometimes companies want to understand input costs, the
amount of research that will need to be done, or even the marketability of a project.

3.2.1. System Architecture
A System architecture diagram also known as block diagram is a diagram of a system in
which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that
show the relationships of the blocks. The block diagrams below show a simple visual
representation for describing actions of the complex system. The blocks are often referred
as black boxes, which represent mathematical or logical operations that occur in sequence.
The base architecture of the system to be developed is shown below where basic pictorial
representation has been drawn to narrate the overview of the system.

3.2.3. Interface Design (UI Interface/ Interface Structure Diagrams)
The user interface for this software will start from a welcome splash screen. Users will be
prompted to the respective dashboard. The dashboard is designed in such a way that they
can easily manage and manipulate the data and information they have access to.
Furthermore, they will get interfaces accordingly depending on what action they perform.
Tool-tips are placed in ambiguous component so that users will get better experience. Since
Customer gets access to minimum actions, the interface is also organized in a way that user
can easily access actions via menu bar. Samples for UI (Screenshots) are shown below at
Appendices.

Chapter 4: Implementation and Testing
4.1. Implementation
4.1.1. Tools Used
Content management system
Content management systems (CMS) give e-commerce businesses the ability to create, edit,
and publish the content on their website. With a CMS you can customize your website
presentation by modifying the layout of your product pages, homepage, or any other part
of the online store. With a modular architecture, the CMS is headless. Instead of being
attached to the e-commerce platform or other backend components, it simply makes content
available via RESTful APIs. This is essential to creating memorable customer experiences.
The headless CMS allows you to create different frontend experiences for different use
cases. Brands and retailers that want to create unique content across multiple channels can
use a digital experience platform (DXP) for their content management module. A DXP
comes with a headless CMS built-in. It also includes other components such as data and
analytics tools, A/B testing software, and user data tools. This allows marketers to add a
high level of personalization to content creation. With a DXP like Fabric XM, you are not
limited to your own e-commerce site. Through APIs, you can deliver content to mobile
apps, IoT devices, or any other sales channel.
4.1.2. Modules and Plugins Used
Product information management
The product information management (PIM) module contains all the information related to
the products in the e-commerce catalog. Some of the information managed by PIM
includes:
● Title
● Descriptions
● Attributes
● Technical specification
● Images
PIM also handles the taxonomies and relationships between your products. This allows you
to segment the display of products, making it easier for customers to search for the items
10
they are looking for. PIM acts as a single source of truth. You can upload data from any
number of sources. Product details can then be spread to any channel. A single hub for
product data helps ensure all information is up to to date and free from errors and
discrepancies. The software connects to other applications through APIs. This allows the
other parts of your e-commerce system to search and retrieve important product data.
Shopping cart and checkout
The shopping cart allows customers to select and hold the products they wish to purchase.
It tracks the user’s session, allowing them to leave the site and come back later with items
still in their cart. During the checkout process, the cart collects the customer’s payment
information. This information is passed to the third-party payment processor. The details
of the order are sent to other modules like the order management system (OMS), inventory
management system, and customer relationship management (CRM) system. The shopping
cart has a database to store and retrieve the data necessary for the checkout process. There
are three types of data including static, session, and processed data. Some order
management systems like Fabric OMS include cart and checkout functionality. With cart
and order APIs, you can process orders from any sales channel.
Plugins Used
e-Sewa: eSewa – Nepal First Payment Gateway plugin enables any user with a WordPress
site to integrate eSewa payment gateway in their website/web application. eSewa is Nepal’s
first online payment gateway and is a comprehensive online payment solution. It is widely
popular, secure as well as one of the most trusted online payment gateways. The following
plugin incorporates itself with WordPress woo-commerce plugin and lets users pay via their
eSewa id to buy any virtual goods or services.
4.2. Testing
Unit and integration testing is done in each module. In Unit testing small testable parts of
the application are tested individually and independently. The team members themselves
did unit test and the test was used for database test, records of each table, basic function
test, add student, add book, add member.
11
In integration testing, each module is combined and tested as a group. This test verified that
the system maintained data integrity and can operate in coordination with other systems in
the same environment. The team members themselves carried out the test.
