EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A software design can be defined as a written description of software product which a software
designer or developer writes in order to make a software development team and giving overall
guidance of accomplishing goals and developing software. This present study will show
importance of knowing requirements of software for E commerce website or online trading as it
is the main trend. Due to several changes in climate and others it is important for customers and
businessmen to focus on online trading or E commerce for which they need to identify
requirement of software for E commerce website. A software design document consists of
several elements and information which allow software developer to make use of software and
accomplish their goals. Some information related to software design which this study will show:
data design, architecture design, interface design and procedural design. This data design
discusses or describes structure related to software. It also includes relationship and attributes
between data objects. In addition, architecture design includes information flowing
characteristics and transformation mapping method. It allows companies to identify boundaries
between outgoing and incoming information. It will also shows importance and reasons of using
software design document as it allows software development and companies to provide a brief
description of design of a system which is appropriate for software development. The purpose of
this study is to identify requirement of software and appropriate design for E commerce website
for promoting and encouraging online trading. By showing purpose of software design
document, appropriate technologies, architecture patterns and different logical and information
viewpoint it can accomplish the main goal and pre-determined objectives related to e commerce
website. By making use of different diagrams related to software development it will discuss the
main topic in an effective and detailed manner which will help it out in identifying best system
software design for E commerce website.

Technologies used
Relational database management system is based on the conceptual framework that
mainly used by MySQL for performing different transaction statement. MySQL is based on the
open source RDBMS system.
Figure 1 RDBMS
The relational database has been implemented in the e-commerce website design or
development. It is considered as predominant choice for storage of information in the form of
database system. it is mainly collecting or gathering information such as financial records,
logistics information, manufacturing and personnel data (Tendulkar and et.al., 2019). RDBMS
have often replaced the hierarchical database and network because it became easier to understand
the overall functionality of system. However, Relational database has been challenged by another

Software requirement
 Web server: It can refers as both hardware as well as software. Therefore, it is working
together. Webserver is based on the computer that stores software and different
component files such as HTML documents, CSS style sheet, JavaScript and images.
These are established the internal connection while supporting the physical data
interchange with multiple devices (ASARE SARKODIE and MICHAEL, 2019).
Sometimes, it is also connected with web. On the software side, a web server include
various parts that control how web user’s access hosted files. At the minimum an HTTP
server which is consider as a piece of software that can easily understand URL. So that it
can be accessed with the help of domain names. Therefore, website it stores and deliver
the content to end user’s device.
 PHP: It is a server scripting language which becoming popular among developers due to
its ability and interact with database system such as MySQL. PHP is using the
programing code for retrieve digital banner from database. In order to select the particular
data and sent it back to script calling (Chu, Lv and Zhao, 2019). It help for maintaining
the large amount of information or content that generally used in website. So as customer
can easily access information in proper manner.
 MySQL: It is based on the database management system that is used by developer to
