System Development for Alabama Bookstore



WATERFALL MODEL



Planning – The Developers gathered relevant information from Alabama Bookstore that will be used for the understanding and development of the system that they need. The Developers interviewed, proposed a project, edit the project if ever there are features that are altered by the Alabama Bookstore, and submit final project proposal to them.
Design – The Developers now understood the needs of the Bookstore thus; they can now develop the desired system of the Bookstore. The Developers designed the features as per fitted for the Bookstore and all of the features must be functioning, they also had tested the system as per developers and reviewed the overall system if everything is well developed.

Implementation – After making sure that the system is functioning well or if not then maybe some bugs are found sooner, the Developers can now deploy and install the system at the company’s place. Everything is put in place and integrated at this stage.

Verification – At the time of using the system, users must verify and evaluate if the system really is a big thing for them. Their works may be done faster than normal ways and the features are running as it must be. Evaluation of the system will give the Developers some hints if they are doing well or some faults are done during the recent phases.


Documentation –The Project is finally presented to the company and at this stage some bugs will be eliminated. The contract then ends and the Developers will give documentation for the system. Manuals will also be submitted to them in order for them to self read how the features of the system will behave.

Gantt Chart for Alabama Bookstor




Script Interview with the Alabama Bookstore

LEGEND:
                SD – System Developers
                C – Client

SD: Good day sir, we are the system developers from Team B IT Firm
SD: May we know your name sir?
C: My name is Martin, but people call me Marvs for short.

SD: So what is your business all about?
C: Our business is a bookstore. Just a simple one that sells books and gives rental services to customers

SD: What are the services that you are offering?
C: Like I said just a while ago, our business is just a simple bookstore that sells books and lets people rent the books.

SD: How many are the users of the system? Admin, Staffs, etc.
C: The only system we will need for our bookstore is a book renting system and a book selling system. No need for an inventory for the books we just need to keep track of the payments, rentals and sold merchandises. All of this are to be managed by a staff and an admin.

SD: What are the features needed for your Bookstore Information System?
C: I already stated them in the previous question.

SD: Do you need any reports generated by the system?
C: Yes, if possible the business needs to generate income and expense reports at a monthly basis.

SD: When is the targeted deadline for your shop and Information System to open?
C: We don’t actually need it to be done right away. The bookstore can function even without these anyway.

SD: So depending on the scope of the system you want us to develop, approximately it will cost       about P100,000 for overall payment.

C:I guess that’s a reasonable price. Then I guess we’ll take it.
