2E-FOOD CART: FOOD DELIVERY SYSTEM: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
A system is developed after the full analysis of its users and objectives. On the basis of
the analysis the design has been included in the system development. Also, the whole
development is no a single and easy task. The development is divided in to several parts as
stages. Different stages provide the different aspects of outputs of the system. In this case of E-
food cart, a system is needed to be developed that delivers the food items from the canteen of the
college to the student’s room directly. The system is needed to receive the orders through online
where a student can log in and order. Tracking and cart features are also to be provided in the
proposed system. The report intends to discuss the analysis and design for the newly proposed
system E-FoodCart. The design has been done using some modern modelling techniques.
Concept and Principles of System Analysis and Design
Analysis and design of system is a process of gathering the factual data, identifying the
system requirements, its problems and the solution. The main purpose of the system analysis is
to identifying the usability of the system where the objectives of the systems are defined. Later
all the objectives define collectively a particular goal for the system development (Dennis,
Wixom and Roth 2018). Where the Design refers to the system design where the different type
of designs is developed with the help of the modern modelling techniques. A system can
interaction, interdependence, integration, central objective etc. as the properties. Design helps in
finding and correcting and analytical errors of the developing system (Johansson‐Sköldberg,
Woodilla and Çetinkaya 2013). The system development is a long a restless process, hence the
development happens in steps or stages or phases.

System Development life Cycle (SDLC)
SDLC is the whole time period that a system takes to become fully developed or ready
for deployment. The SDLC consists some important stages for the system development that
requires for the new system. The no and type of phases totally depends on the type of project,
however, there are some predefined models are present for the system development (Mishra and
Dubey 2013). The models are waterfall, spiral, dynamic systems development methodology
(DSDM) etc. The waterfall model is very widely used method for the system development. The
development is consisting of six phases named analysis, design, integration, implementation and
testing, deployment and maintenance. All these phases are achieved step by step in the waterfall
model. Each phase’s output is Next’s input for the initiation of the phase (Kumar and Yadav
2017). The Gantt in figure 1. Showing the phases and its software development life cycle

System Modelling
System Modelling design is the process of developing the structural architecture of the
new system according to its requirement. The requirements are the output of the analysis phase
in the SDLC. The modelling can be done using different models like Unified Modelling
Language or the Process modelling (Mengusoglu and Pickering J.B 2013).

Use case
Use case diagram is a part of Unified modelling language. The use case diagram
represents the objectives and process of the system as the use cases. Whereas the users of the
system who actually interact the system are used as ‘actor’. The relationship between a use case
and an actor shows the interaction between the use cases and the actors. Figure 2 shows the use
case model of the E-FoodCart.

DFD 0
Data flow Diagram (DFD) shows the flow of the data and how it is getting processed.
The level 0 DFD means that it only shows the data flow between the process and the external
entities.

Context
A context diagram also shows the flow of the data. Apart from that the diagram
specifically shows the interaction between the whole system and the external interactors.

Entity Relationship Diagram
Development of a system also needs a database to store the information of the system
objects. An entity relationship diagram shows the entities, attributes and its relationship between
them (Bearman and Stein 2013).

Conclusion
The System Analysis and Design is an important phase of the SDLC. It defines the
direction of the system outcome and its goals. According to the case of E-food cart the system
design has been done using the use case, sequence, DFD and ERD modelling. Later in the report
the interface of the system has been developed as mock up drawing using the Balsamiq tool.
Hence it can be said that the system design and analysis has been successfully achieved.
