Introduction:
Easy operations in relation to the fuel booking ad payment can be effectively done through
the development of the software applications which facilitates the customers and companies.
It helps in managing connectivity between the consumers and providers. The query posted by
them will be solved at first glance and provides quality of services and facilities to increase
the level of satisfaction (Anderson, 2015). The success of the project depends on the strategy
developed for giving reliable services and secured booking and payment system. The purpose
of this project is to develop a software application which is capable of online booking and
payment of fuel required by the users.

Software Requirement:
The proposed system is the development of the online mobile application for the online
booking of fuel and secured payment. Development of software application helps in resolving
difficulty faced by the consumers in booking fuel in performing their day to day operation
(Kasar, Dhaygude, Godse, and Gurgule, 2016). Tracking of the errors is the way to minimize
overhead cost and provides reliable services to the customers.

Software Benefit
Online booking fuel booking system helps in providing interface between the company and
the consumers so that instant response can be provided to the query posted by the users.
Consumers are provided with the details of amount paid and date of delivery of the fuel with
the mentioned quantity. Customer personal details are filled in the customer registration form
which helps in mentioning the delivery address. Users are provided with the unique ID
number and password so that they can login into their accounts by using login credentials for
the booking of required quantity of fuel and delivered at the required destination. Customers
are able to retrieve their order at their required destination and at affordable price (Hamad,
2018). Cost of Fuel is cheaper than the market price because in online portal system dealer
directly deals with the customers. It helps in managing interaction between the customers and
company. Consumers are able to provide their feedback on the quality of service they receive
so that improvement in the services provided to the users can be improved effectively. The
query posted by them will be solved at first glance and provides quality of services and
facilities to increase the level of satisfaction (Kumar and Bansal, 2010).
Security Requirement:
Security is the major concern for the users to pay the amount of money through the online
transaction. It is required to intimate the users with the security system in the payment
module through which they can securely complete their transaction. Bill is generated which
mentions the amount of money paid by the users for the verification of the transaction
completion (Naranayan and et. al., 2015). Online payment can be done within the fraction of
seconds which saves time of the user. Users are provided with different modules for carrying
out online payments such as by using debit card, credit card, net banking, smart cards, e-
checks, e-wallet, and others (Ryan, and Efatmaneshnik, 2015). Security is the perquisite for
online and offline payment. Strategic plans are designed for minimizing the frauds and
information leakages from the payment gateways to the third party. Standard security
protocols are used for securing the payment process (Sulaman, Weyns, and Host, 2013).
Cryptographic techniques are used for safely and securely completing the payment process by

using the online mode. Notification regarding the transaction process should be sent to the
user so that in case of fraud required action can be taken within time. The diagram below
shows the payment process used for online payment mode:

Assumptions, Dependencies and constraints
The success of the project depends on the completion of project activities within the given
time frame and cost determined. Strategic plan should be developed for fulfilling the
requirement of the customers as mentioned in the software requirement specification plan.
Activities are to be designed by following the legal laws so that legal obligations can be
omitted at top priority. Strategic plans are designed for minimizing the frauds and
information leakages from the payment gateways to the third party. It is assumed that the
software developing team has required skills and expertise so that effective mobile
application for fuel booking and payment system can be developed which helps in facilitating
easy booking of fuel and secured payment. Time and costs are the top major factors to
complete the given project flawlessly.

Monitoring and Control Mechanism:
Project monitoring and control mechanism depends on the identification of risks level
associated with the complexities. Status of risks occurrence is calculated for omitting it in
future. Changes in the project scope are done according to the action plan developed for
mitigating the risks at an early stage. Training and development program is arranged for
solving the expertise and skills issues which exist with them so that operations can be be
flourishing within required deadline and cost (Yang, and Gao, 2016). Flowchart below gives
the details of monitoring and control procedures for managing the changes and issues
associated with the development of software cycle.
Monitoring of project process is used for comparing the software specification document with
the output of the project cycle. It helps in measuring the changes required in the project scope
so that customers can be satisfied with the developed software. It is used for noticing the
variation for evaluating the verification and validation process.
Project monitoring can be effectively done by measuring the efficiency of five parameters
which are named as project schedule, cost estimation plan, deliverables of the projects,
Quality of service provided to the users, and benefits.
Table below shows the monitoring process can be completed by evaluating the five
parameters:
Parameters Description Status
