remove from the cart if he dislikes it later.

 Payment: This module describes the payment done by the customer. The
payment information can include information like the model purchased,
quantity, mode of payment (cash, loan) etc.

 Stocks: This gives the details regarding the products available for sale.

Data Flow Diagram

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data

through an Information System. A data flow diagram can also be used for the
visualization of Data Processing. It is common practice for a designer to draw a
context-level DFD first which shows the interaction between the system and outside
entities. This context-level DFD is then "exploded" to show more detail of the
system being modeled.
A DFD represents flow of data through a system. Data flow diagrams are commonly
used during problem analysis. It views a system as a function that transforms the
input into desired output. A DFD shows movement of data through the different
transformations or processes in the system.

Dataflow diagrams can be used to provide the end user with a physical idea of where
the data they input ultimately has an effect upon the structure of the whole system
from order to dispatch to restock how any system is developed can be determined
through a dataflow diagram. The appropriate register saved in database and
maintained by appropriate authorities.

Entity Relationship Diagrams (ER-Diagrams):

An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is a specialized graphic that illustrates the

interrelationships between entities in a database. ER diagrams often use symbols to
represent three different types of information. Boxes are commonly used to represent
entities. Diamonds are normally used to represent relationships and ovals are used
to represent attributes

An entity-relationship model (ERM) in software engineering is an abstract

and conceptual representation of data. Entity-relationship modeling is a relational
schema database modeling method, used to produce a type of conceptual schema or
semantic data model of a system, often a relational database, and its requirements in
a top-down fashion.

Symbols used in this E-R Diagram:

Entity: Entity is a “thing” in the real world with an independent existence. An entity
may be an object with a physical existence such as person, car or employee. Entity
symbol is as follows

Attribute: Attribute is a particular property that describes the entity. Attribute

symbol is

Relationship: Relationship will be several implicit relationships among various

entity types whenever an attribute of one entity refers to another entity type some
relationship exits. Relationship symbol is:
Key attributes: An entity type usually has an attribute whose values are distinct
for each individual entity in the collection. Such an attribute is called key attribute.
Key attribute symbol is as follows

-Table - Primary Key -Link

-Fields -Relationship M: N-Cardinality Relation

Testing

INTRODUCTION

Testing is the process of running a system with the intention of

finding errors. Testing enhances the integrity of a system by detecting
deviations in design and errors in the system. Testing aims at detecting
error-prone areas. This helps in the prevention of errors in a system.
Testing also adds value to the product by conforming to the user
requirements.

The main purpose of testing is to detect errors and error-prone

areas in a system. Testing must be thorough and well-planned. A
partially tested system is as bad as an untested system. And the price of
an untested and under-tested system is high.

The implementation is the final and important phase. It involves

user-training, system testing in order to ensure successful running of the
proposed system. The user tests the system and changes are made
according to their needs. The testing involves the testing of the
developed system using various kinds of data. While testing, errors are
noted and correctness is the mode.

OBJECTIVES OF TESTING:
The objectives of testing are:

 Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding

errors.
 A Successful test case is one that uncovers an as- yet-undiscovered
error.
System testing is a stage of implementation, which is aimed at
ensuring that the system works accurately and efficiently as per the user
need, before the live operation commences. As stated before, testing is
vital to the success of a system. System testing makes a logical
assumption that if all parts of the as system are correct, the goal will be
successfully achieved. A series of tests are performed before the system
is ready for the user acceptance test.

TESTING METHODS

System testing is the stage of implementation. This is to check

whether the system works accurately and efficiently before live
operation commences. Testing is vital to the success of the system. The
candidate system is subject to a variety of tests: on line response,
volume, stress, recovery, security and usability tests. A series of tests
are performed for the proposed system is ready for user acceptance
testing.
The Testing Steps are:

 Unit Testing
Unit testing focuses efforts on the smallest unit of software
design. This is known as module testing. The modules are tested
separately. The test is carried out during programming stage itself. In
this step, each module is found to be working satisfactory as regards to
the expected output from the module.

 Integration Testing
Data can be lost across an interface. One module can have an
adverse effect on another, sub functions, when combined, may not be
linked in desired manner in major functions. Integration testing is a
systematic approach for constructing the program structure, while at the
same time conducting test to uncover errors associated within the
interface. The objective is to take unit tested modules and builds
program structure. All the modules are combined and tested as a whole.

 Validation
At the culmination of the integration testing, Software is
completely assembled as a package. Interfacing errors have been
uncovered and corrected and a final series of software test begin in
validation testing. Validation testing can be defined in many ways, but
a simple definition is that the validation succeeds when the software
functions in a manner that is expected by the customer. After validation
test has been conducted, one of the three possible conditions exists.
a) The function or performance characteristics confirm to specification and
are accepted.

b) A deviation from specification is uncovered and a deficiency lists is

created.

c) Proposed system under consideration has been tested by using validation

test and found to be working satisfactory.

 Output Testing
After performing the validation testing, the next step is output
testing of the proposed system, since no system could be useful if it does
not produce the required output in a specific format. The output format
on the screen is found to be correct. The format was designed in the
system design time according to the user needs. For the hard copy also;
the output comes as per the specified requirements by the user. Hence
output testing did not result in any correction for the system.

 User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance of a system is the key factor for the success of
any system. The system under consideration is tested for the user
acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the prospective system
users at the time of developing and making changes whenever required.

This is done in regard to the following point:

a) Input Screen Design

b) Output Screen Design

c) Format of reports and other outputs.

Security mechanisms
This system is provided with authentication, without this user can pass. So
only the legitimate users are allowed to use the application. If the legitimate
users share the authentication information then the system is open to outsiders.

Limitations

 Since it is an online project, customers need internet connection to buy

products.
 People who are not familiar with computers can’t use this software.
 Customer must have debit card or credit card to purchase products.

Future scope and further enhancement

This web application involves almost all the features of the online shopping. The
future implementation will be online help for the customers and chatting with
website administrator.

Conclusion

The project entitled “Online Mobile Shopping” is developed using ASP.Net as front
end and SQL Server database in back end to computerize the process of online
buying and selling of mobiles in a showroom. This project covers only the basic
features required.

However a lot of features are already incorporated in this project. The main
beneficiaries are both customers as well as ADMIN who consume more time while
dealing with mobiles. Moreover extra features can be identified and incorporated in
the future
In order to accommodate additional features it will take longer time and effort
to understand the requirement and converting it into computerized system.
