2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective

The Book-shop automation System is the new, self-contained product. The ‘Book-shop
automation System is using vb.net. All components follow Model-View-Controller
pattern. The user can retrieve information of their shop progress.
All pages of the system are following a consistent theme and clear structure.
The occurrence of errors should be minimized through the use of checkboxes and scroll
down in order to reduce the amount of text input from user. Error message should be
located beside the error input which clearly highlight and tell user how to solve it. If
system error, it should provide the contact methods. The page should display the project
process in different color to clearly reflect the various states. Each level of user will have
its own interface and privilege to mange and modify the project information.
User interface elements are easy to understand. Part of user interface is well-
organized on screen and the parts are concatenated right. When users look at the
interface, they understand which pane is used for which purpose. Each task of an
interface is specified clearly and users use them correctly. For example, when users press
to any button on interface, they can know which operations are done by pressing this
button.
The user interface is easy to learn. When users use the user interface, they can
know which element is used to which operations. The interface actions and elements is
consistent. When users press any button, required actions is done by the system.
The screen layout and color of the user interface is appealing. When users look
at the screen, it will have a nice vision. Colors will be selected clearly, thus eyes of users
won’t be tired.
Since the application must run on the PC, all the hardware shall require to
connect the PC will be hardware interface for the system.The main interface would be the
monitor, Keyboard and mouse.
Book-shop Automation Systems is a technology that automat the book-shop.
This technology includes more advantages over manual work. Here this system manage
the all records of transaction or selling record in a day or month and can measure the
profit of a day, month or yearly.
The book-shop automation system provide following facilities and services.
12) Monitoring all records
13) Searching of books by name, publishers or by price

2.4 Operating Environment

The proposed software is intended to run on client/server model network. A

client/server can deliver the better performance than the file server system
because a client application and database server work together to split processing
load of applications (thus the term distributed processing). The server manages
the database among the number of clients, while the client send, request, and
analyze the data entry form with small specific data set, such as rows in a table
not file as in the file server system.

4. External Interface Requirements

4.1 User Interfaces

User interface is used to provide communication between users and system. Our product

should have communication between them. Because, Airline Ticket System is a web-

based system and it should get input from users for processing. Firstly the system should

ask to its users about where they will go, when they will go, which option they will use

(least money or least time).Users will enter their desired place, date period and they will

select an option (least time or least money) for finding the optimized path. The system

gets these inputs by using user interface. Then, the system will study to find an optimized

path for users according to least money or least time constraint which is selected by users.

After that, the system will give appropriate output for users via user interface. Finally

users will see the optimized path at their screen according to their selected option.

User interface elements should be easy to understand. Part of user interface should be

well-organized on screen and the parts should be concatenated right. When users look at

the interface, they understand which pane is used for which purpose. Each task of an

interface should be specified clearly and users should use them correctly. For example,

when users press to any button on interface, they should know which operations are done

by pressing this button.

The user interface should be easy to learn. When users use the user interface, they should

know which element is used to which operations. We should teach using of the user
interface to users simply. If it is hard to learn, then teaching will take long time and there

will be an extra cost for teaching of product.

The interface actions and elements should be consistent. When users press any button,

required actions should be done by the system.

The screen layout and color of the user interface should be appealing. When users look at

the screen, it will have a nice vision. Colors will be selected clearly, thus eyes of users

won’t be tired.

It has been required that every form’s interface should be user friendly and simple
to use.

4.2 Hardware Interfaces

4.3 Software Interfaces

In Airline Ticket System, users will use application program via the user interface

program. When database management system access is required, the system establishes a

connection to the database management system, once the connection is created; the client

program can communicate with the database management system. A standard called

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) provides an application programming interface

(API), which allows client-side programs to call database management system, as long as

PC has the necessary software installed. Most database management system vendors

provide ODBC drivers for their systems. A user can actually connect to several database

management system and send query and transaction requests using the Open Database

Connectivity (ODBC) API, which are then processed at the server site. Any query results

are sent back to user, which can process or display the result as needed.

The ODBC specification offers a procedural API for using SQL queries to access data.

An implementation of ODBC will contain one or more applications, a core ODBC

library, and one or more database drivers. The core library, independent of the

applications and DBMS, acts as an interpreter between the applications and the database

drivers, whereas the database drivers contain the DBMS specific details. Thus a

programmer can write applications that use standard types and features without concern

for the specifics of each DBMS that the applications may encounter. Likewise, database

driver implementers need only know how to attach to the core library. This makes ODBC

modular.
It has been required that there could be a necessity of using the stored data for

some kind of report that is not supported by proposed system at present

4.4 Communications Interfaces

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) shall be used to provide a communication between

system and users. Because, Airline Ticket System is a web-based system which should
be reached on World Wide Web by users. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a
communications protocol which is used to transfer or convey information on intranets
and the World Wide Web. Its original purpose was to provide a way to publish and
retrieve hypertext pages. Development of HTTP was coordinated by the W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium) and the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), culminating in
the publication of a series of RFCs, most notably RFC 2616 (June 1999), which defines
HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use. HTTP is a request/response protocol
between a client and a server. The client making an HTTP request,
such as a web browser, is referred to as the user agent. The responding server, which

stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, is called the origin server. In

between the user agent and origin server may be several intermediaries, such as proxies,

gateways, and tunnels. HTTP is not constrained to using TCP/IP and its supporting

layers, although this is its most popular application on the Internet. Indeed HTTP can be

implemented on top of any other protocol on the Internet, or on other networks. HTTP

only presumes a reliable transport; any protocol that provides such guarantees can be

used. Typically, an HTTP client initiates a request by establishing a Transmission Control

Protocol (TCP) connection to a particular port on a host (port 80 by default; see List of

TCP and UDP port numbers). An HTTP server listening on that port waits for the client

to send a request message.

It has been required its associated with the communications functions
required by this product, including e-mail, web browser, network server
communications protocols, electronic forms, and so on.if the application is
used in web enviournment then using the HTTP,FTP

5. Other Nonfunctional
Requirements
5.1 Performance Requirements

As it is going to be used by all the concerned employees within the organization, the
system should have a good performance in terms of speed and accuracy. The proposed
system should be accurate and fast enough to handle huge data. It should provide fast
communication between server and clients

5.2 Safety Requirements

As the system is going to handle parts records for a long run eliminating the
manual system, it is supposed to ensure the retaining of data avoiding or
eliminating any probable cause for data loss.

5.3 Security Requirements
