Developing a PHP E-commerce Website for Summer Style Clothing

This document details the development of an e-commerce website for Summer Style clothing, encompassing various aspects of web development. The project begins with an abstract outlining the need for online shopping and the technologies used, including PHP, HTML, CSS, and relational databases. It then proceeds with fact-finding techniques, including questionnaires and interviews, to gather requirements. The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document outlines functional and non-functional requirements, along with an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), class diagrams, and architectural context diagrams. The design phase includes user interface wireframes for various pages. The implementation phase provides PHP and HTML code snippets, along with CSS styles. Testing includes unit, integration, validation, black box, white box, and performance testing. The document concludes with results, challenges, limitations, and scope for future work, providing a comprehensive overview of the e-commerce website development process. The project aims to create a functional online store with features like user registration, product browsing, shopping cart functionality, and payment processing, using technologies like PHP and MySQL.

ONLINE SHOPPING APPLICATION:
Anyone can explore the Online Shopping site and available products, but in order to purchase or
order products, each user must connect with his or her Username and password. Members who
have not yet registered can do so by going to the registration page. Only Admins will be able to
change roles; developers can only be ‘Admins' by default. When a person registers on the site,
his default role is ‘User.'
Fact finding techniques
Fact finding is an important step for any website development. It is essential to gather all the
information and facts about an existing web to ensure all strengths and weaknesses are
discovered. This creates a new web that eliminates as many weaknesses as possible and retains
strengths.
(fao, 2020)
01. Sample Existing Documents
In order to follow these specific facts, the analyst must thoroughly study the existing documents,
templates, and files in the existing web. A good analyst first comes to the truth not with
documents but from people.
02. Interview
This technique of fact-finding is popular, friendly and often used for good analysts. Interviews
are a fact-finding technique where web analysts gather information from person-to-person.
Interviews can be used to find facts; Verify facts; Clarification of facts; General enthusiasm etc.
03. Observations
Observations can be formal or informal. This is most effective when an analyst wants to
understand a web. This technique is used when the analyst wants to participate or take actions to
learn about the system.

04. Questionnaire
This is a special purpose document which allows the analyst to obtain information and feedback
from the respondents. The questionnaire is useful when you need a little information from a few
people.
