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 wellorganized 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.

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 webbased 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
The hardware interface for the user would be any PC having a configuration of P-I and above 1.2GB HDD for loading any OS for operating the browser shall be able to interact with the system without any problem. The main interface would be the monitor, Keyboard and mouse. The bar code scanner is required for scanning the assets during the yearly verification of the assets. The requirements can be summarised as below:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 28) System Requirements: •
•
WEB SERVER ( Recommended)
o Hardware o Operating System o Windows NT/2000 Server with Option Pack 4.0 WORKSTATION ( Recommended) o Hardware o Pentium IV 1.50 GHZ. o Operating System o Windows 2000 Server with Option Pack 4.0
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
