The billing system will use current system date and time. However its user can manually
set the date and time of purchase and can make changes in the amount which will be
special feature available in the control panel of this system.
Under generating bill section, its user have to make entry in the field of particular
model and its serial number after which it will display the brand name of the products, its
cost price and service tax. Then after total amount will be generated for total number of
products along with the address details of the seller. This system will also include the
name, address and mobile number of the customer. Each bill will have a unique number
generated by the system automatically.
As this system will also help the vendor to keep track of number of products
available, time of purchase. If any products whose total number will be less than 2 will
comes under the blue zone indicating its time to purchase that product. It will also
display other details such as last time when it is purchased, at what price it was
purchased, from where it is purchased, total number of products which was purchased
last time.
Administrator can also make changes in the billing process, such as increase or
decrease in service tax value, discount to be given to the customer on particular product.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2. System overview

2.1.Existing System:

The computer shop contains different types of computers of various configuration with
various company according to the customers needs and requirement. It is necessary for every
business to maintain all records.
In todays life people have very little time and many things
To do. They have to manage all this unbalance workload, although everyone wants to achieve all
their ambitions and dreams. And the present system of managing computer shop is very time
consuming so it is very difficult to maintain good records and fast service. The paper work is
becoming very difficult to handle day by day. Currently we have to keep track of each and every
thing about the computer shop on the paper or in register. We have to maintain lot of registers to
enter these large volumes of data. This leads to the wastage of stationary.

2.2. Problems with Existing System.

Manual system involves a lot of paper work, so it becomes time-consuming and costly.
The chances of errors in calculation of delivery of computer are more in the current
manual system. The calculation of total collection for day or month or year is very

difficult.
Currently no security is provided to the large amount of data of the every computer part

details.
It becomes very difficult to maintain details of every computer as records increases day
by day

2.3. Solution on Problem

This Computer Shop Management system will be used for making quotations of
requested amount for the user. The billing system will use current system date and time.
However its user can manually set the date and time of purchase and can make changes in the
amount which will be special feature available in the control panel of this system.
Under generating bill section, its user have to make entry in the field of particular model and its
serial number after which it will display the brand name of the products, its cost price and service
tax. Then after total amount will be generated for total number of products along with the address
details of the seller. This system will also include the name, address and mobile number of the
customer. Each bill will have a unique number generated by the system automatically.
Some advantages are:

User Friendly software

Easy to record all data about the Books and its details
It saves time of the user as well as prevent paper work
It provides the security to the database that is large amount of important data of the
Shop
It provides more reliability for keeping information.

Requirement Analysis
Identifying needs is the first step while designing a system and
implementation. This is the way to handle user needs, it must be an outgoing
process to know requirements of customer during whole system development life
cycle. During this phase the main things to be considered are got by placing
meetings and questionnaires with customer. Requirements found during all the
stages proposed system development are
How the present system work.
Time take to operate the system.
List of contents associated with the system.
Error/failure rate to be acceptable.
Risk factors involved.
Proprietary aspects, liability risks, potential infringement, and political issues to
consider.
Human-machine and machine-machine communication.
Interfacing with external environment

4.1 Feasibility study

Depending on the results of the initial investigation the survey is now
expanded to a more detailed feasibility study. FEASIBILITYSTUDY is a test of
system proposal according to its workability, impact of the organization, ability to
meet needs and effective use of the resources. It focuses on these major questions:
1.What are the users demonstrable needs and how does a candidate system meet
them? 2. What resources are available for given candidate system? 3. What are the
likely impacts of the candidate system on the organization? 4. Whether it is worth
to solve the problem? During feasibility analysis for this project, following primary
areas of interest are to be considered. Investigation and generating ideas about a
new system does this. Steps in feasibility analysis eight steps involved in the
feasibility analysis are:
Form a project team and appoint a project leader.
Prepare system flowcharts.
Enumerate potential proposed system.
Define and identify characteristics of proposed system.
Determine and evaluate performance and cost effective of each proposed
system.
Weight system performance and cost data.
Select the best-proposed system.
Prepare and report final project directive to management.
Feasibility study is the procedure to identify, describe the evaluate candidate
system and select the best possible action for the job. The initial investigation

culminated in a proposal summarized the thinking of the analyst, was presented to

the user for review. The proposal initiated a feasible study to describe and evaluate
the best system to choose in terms of economical, technical and behavioral
constraints. The terms constraints involved in feasibility analysis areo Technical
o Economical
o Operational
o Behavioral

4.2. Technical Feasibility

A study of resource availability that may affect the ability to achieve an
acceptable system. This evaluation determines whether the technology needed for
the proposed system is available or not.
Can the work for the project be done with current equipment existing software
technology & available personal?
Can the system be upgraded if developed?
If new technology is needed then what can be developed?
This is concerned with specifying equipment and software that will successfully
satisfy the user requirement. The technical needs of the system may include:
Front-end and back-end selection

An important issue for the development of a project is the selection of suitable

front-end and back-end. When we decided to develop the project we went through
an extensive study to determine the most suitable platform that suits the needs of
the organization as well as helps in development of the project. The aspects of our
study included the following factors.
Front-End selection 1. It must have a graphical user interface that assists
employees that are not from IT background.
2. Scalability and extensibility.
3. Flexibility.
4. Robustness.
5. According to the organization requirement and the culture.
6. Must provide excellent reporting features with good printing support.
7. Platform independent.
8. Easy to debug and maintain.
9. Event driven programming facility.
10. Front-end must support some popular back end like MS Access. According to
the above stated features we selected Java 1.6 as the front-end for developing our
project.
Back-End Selection
1. Multiple user support.
2. Efficient data handling.

3. Provide inherent features for security.

4. Efficient data retrieval and maintenance.
5. Stored procedures.
6. Popularity.
7. Operating System compatible.
8. Easy to install.
9. Various drivers must be available.
10. Easy to implant with the Front-end.
According to above stated features we selected MS-Access as the backend. The
technical feasibility is frequently the most difficult area encountered at this stage. It
is essential that the process of analysis and definition be conducted in parallel with
an assessment to technical feasibility. It centers on the existing computer system
(hardware, software etc.) and to what extent it can support the proposed system.

4.3. Economic Feasibility

Economic justification is generally the Bottom Line consideration for
most systems. Economic justification includes abroad range of concerns that
includes cost benefit analysis. In this we weight the cost and the benefits associated
with the candidate system
And if it suits the basic purpose of the organization i.e. profit making, the project is
making to the analysis and design phase. The financial and the economic questions
during the preliminary investigation are verified to estimate the following:

 The cost to conduct a full system investigation.

The cost of hardware and software for the class of application being considered.
The benefits in the form of reduced cost.
The proposed system will give the minute information, as a result the
performance is improved which in turn may be expected to provide increased
profits.

4.4. Behavioral Feasibility

After considering the following point that the system is behaviorally
feasible. The project is carried out on the request of the users. To a greater extent,
the proposed system aims at maximizing user friendliness. This is intended to
overcome resistance to change by the exiting staff. Users are quite experienced in
handling the computerized system. Users are aware of the software and hardware
environment.

system design and modeling

system Design
Software design is an actually a multi-step process that focuses on four
distinct attributes of program namely data structure, software architecture, interface
representation and procedural details. The design process translates requirements
into a representation of the software that can be assessed for quality before code
generation begins. The design is documented and is part of the software
configuration.
Code Generation
The design must be translated into a machine readable form. The code
generation steps perform this task.
Testing
The testing process focuses on the logical internals of the software assuring
that all statements have been tested and on the functional externals that is

conducting tests to uncover errors and ensure that defined input will produce actual
results that agree with required.
Maintenance
Software will undoubtedly undergo changes after it is delivered to the
customer. Change will occur because errors have been
