Business Requirements

Discuss about the Recent Literature and Guideline Formulation.

A local shop dealer sells books to the local community and the dealer wants to automate the procedures that take place within the organization. The shop keeper is looking to design a mobile application that would help the customers reach out to the shop keeper very easily. This would also enhance the business of the shop keeper to a great extent. Currently for the payment the shop keeper makes use of a teller operator. The system would be run on the mobile devices present at the entrance of the shop. The prototype that is to be designed for the shop keeper should be run on all the devices and should be able to provide different type of business and user options for the shop keeper and as well as the customer of the shop.

The business requirement that the application should be able to fulfill are:

• The system should be able to display different books available in the shop.
• The prices of the books available in the shop should be displayed efficiently in the application.
• The system should be able to the assist the shop in performing different type of business procedures such as payment.
• The system should be able to provide an efficient interface in between the user and the shop.

The main user requirements of the system are:

• The system should be able to provide the users of the system with an efficient search and filters option.
• The system should be able to provide the search result in different categories and the user should be able to filter the results according to the requirement of the user.
• The system should also be able to provide the user with the option to register themselves in the system and also log in to the system using the credentials that they used during the registration.
• The system should also be able to provide the customer with the option of adding a review for the product.
• The system should display the price of the items in the system. Additionally the system should also allow the customers of the shop with the option to book the items they require to the cart. This would help the customers in gathering their requirements in a single place.
• The system should also allow the users in purchasing the product from the application. The actual purchase of the product is to be done manually form the shop itself.

The requirements provided above are the functional requirements of the application, however in addition to the functional requirements of the application there are some additional non-functional requirements of the application that it has to follow. The following requirements provided below are the non-functional requirements of the application:

• Security: The design should be having an essence of security that would check the other users from accessing information about another user and also the information about the organization should be restricted that would prevent the organization from possibly losing out on important information.
• User Interaction: The system should have easy usability for the user. The user should be able to interact efficiently with the systems. Additionally the system should also be able to provide important responses for the users so that the user is able to obtain the actual information he is looking for.
• Navigation: The navigation of the system should also be designed efficiently so that there are no problems in navigation for the users in the system. The operability of the system depends on the design of navigation for the system.
• Efficiency: The designing of the system should also be done efficiently, as the efficiency of the actual system would depend on the design of the interfaces.

During the designing various constrains were provided, however design is not exactly same with that of the provided constrains. This is because some assumptions have been made for the design of the system as to make it look like an actual system that can be published online.

The various type of assumptions that have been made for the system include the designing of the system according to a fully functional interface. This also involves the inclusion of the Login and registration features in the system.

In addition to the information provided above it should also be noted that the designing of the application is done assuming that the social media links would be enabled in the system. It is also assumed that the user would be already registered with a social media website and hence, the information can be fetch easily from the database of the website.

Some additional assumptions about the search options in the system is also made. It is assumed that the system would be consisting of a number of . The search results would be filtered according to the categories in the system. The search results should be further filterable by the users. The system should display the price of the product when they are produced as search results.

User Requirements

The designing of the system has been done according to the requirements provided by the shop keeper and further assumptions for the system has also been maintained. The system design provides a useful interface for the users to log in to and search books according to their requirement. The system would also enable a user to search for a book and read the informations about the book. The user would be able to view the details and the price of the books, the name of the author and also the genre of the book. The user would also be able to filter though the search results in order to obtain the result they actually want to. The user would also be able to view the library of the book store by clicking on the category in the drop down menu that appears from the menu icon. The option provided in the menu allows the users to select the type of action they want to perform. In addition to this, the system provides the information about them in the about us section but the page is not displayed in the design provided. It has been assumed that the about us content would be stored in a pdf file and the user would be able to download the information about the shop by downloading the pdf and hence, no page displaying this feature for the system has been provided in this report. The system also enables the user to search for a book without logging to the system. However if the user wants to purchase a book he would be redirected to the login page. Additionally, if a user is not logged into the system than he would be redirected to the registration page. However, this can also be done by the user himself by using the hyperlink provided on the page. The user has to click on the register link provided on the log in page. The user can also log in to the system using the social media icons provided on the pages provided the user has registered using the social media link. The user can also register into the system using the Facebook or the Google link. This simplifies the login process of the user to a great extent. The user would also be able to select a product and provide rating for the product whether they like or dislike the product. If the user clicks on the checkout button the user would be redirected to the purchase page automatically. This provides the user with an increased efficiency from the shop and the system would be increasing the efficiency of the shop to a great extent. Additionally, the customer satisfaction would also increase to a great level and the popularity of the shop would be increased due the automated procedures.
