world. Of this, organized retailing contributes between 20% to 53% in various developing markets. RRL
launched its first store in November 2006 through store format Reliance Mart. Since then RRL has rapidly
grown to operate 590 stores across 13 states at the end of 2008. RRL launched its first Reliance digital
store in April 2007 and the Indias largest hyper market Reliance Mart. On an average, turnover of the
reliance mart is Rs 50,000 per day, each store, whereas compared to other cities.
The main aim is to provide good quality products at lower price strive continually for service and
satisfaction. According to Reliance Mart manager, it was satisfying around most of the customers
expectation. The Reliance Mart has positioned itself as a convenience store located in middle class
neighbourhoods.

SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is the process of planning a new system to complement or altogether replace the old
system. The purpose of the design phase is to plan a solution for the problem. The phrase is the first step in
moving from the problem domain to the solution domain. The emphasis is on translating the performance
requirements into design specification. There are software design concepts that evolved over the past three
decades. Depending upon the interest of the programmer involved in a project the design process varies. The
design process also helps the programmer to decompose our project into various parts to complete to the
work and separates the conceptual representation from the data structure. The above all provides a developer
with a foundation from which more sophisticated design methods can be applied, because there is a lot of
differences in a program that is working and getting the right.

4.1 TABLE DESIGN

A database design is a collection of inter-related data stored with a minimum of redundancy to serve
many applications. To develop a database that satisfies the information needs of today as well as for
tomorrow, it is necessary to understand the database conceptually. The first task of the designer is to develop
the conceptual model.
The steps in the development of the conceptual model are;

4.2 INPUT DESIGN

According to this project Input design encompasses internal and external program interfaces and the
design of user interfaces. Internal and external interface designs are guided by information obtained from the
analysis model. This defines user tasks and actions either an elaborative or object oriented approach. Design
issues such as response time, comma structure, error handling and help facilities are considered and a design
model for the system is defined. A set of generic design guidelines governs general interaction, information
display and data entry.
It is a process of converting user-oriented to a computer based formatted goal of the input design is to
make a data entry easier, logical, and free of error. Error in the input data is controlled by the input design.
The quality of the system input determines the quality of system output specification describes manner in
which the data entered in the system processing.

Input design futures can ensure the reliability of the

system and produced result from accurate data or they can result in Production of erroneous information as
result in feeding the faulty data.

managements. After any valid processing, the reports are same are commenced and generated filled for
future use. The reports are generated with great care because it places an important design making. With the
quality output the entire system may appear to be unnecessary that user will avoid using it.
Reports are generated with the up-to-date details according to user requirement. The report produced
should be only concise with only necessary information. No unnecessary information should be produced in
the output reports.

SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 SYSTEM TESTING
System testing takes, as its input, all of the "integrated" software components that have passed integration
testing and also the software system itself integrated with any applicable hardware system. The purpose of
integration testing is to detect any inconsistencies between the software units that are integrated together. System
testing is a more limited type of tests, it seeks to detect defects both within the "inter-assemblages" and also within the
system as a whole.
UNIT TESTING

Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code, sets of one or more computer
program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures, are
tested to determine if they are fit for use. Intuitively, one can view a unit as the smallest testable part of an
application. In procedural programming a unit could be an entire module but is more commonly an
individual function or procedure. In object oriented programming a unit is often an entire interface, such as a
class, but could be an individual method. Unit tests are created by programmers or occasionally by white box
testing during the development process.
INTEGRATION TESTING:
Testing can be used in both software and hardware integration testing. The basis behind this type of
integration testing is to run user-like workloads in integrated user-like environments. In doing the testing in this
manner, the environment is proofed, while the individual components are proofed indirectly through their use. Usage
Model testing takes an optimistic approach to testing, because it expects to have few problems with the individual
components. The strategy relies heavily on the component developers to do the isolated unit testing for their product.
The goal of the strategy is to avoid redoing the testing done by the developers, and instead flesh-out problems caused
by the interaction of the components in the environment.
For integration testing, Usage Model testing can be more efficient and provides better test coverage than
traditional focused functional integration testing. To be more efficient and accurate, care must be used in defining the
user-like workloads for creating realistic scenarios in exercising the environment. This gives confidence that the
integrated environment will work as expected for the target customers.
ACCEPTANCE TESTING:
Acceptance test cards are ideally created during sprint planning or iteration planning meeting, before
development begins so that the developers have a clear idea of what to develop. Sometimes acceptance tests may span
42

multiple stories (that are not implemented in the same sprint) and there are different ways to test them out during
actual sprints. One popular technique is to mock external interfaces or data to mimic other stories which might not be
played out during an iteration (as those stories may have been relatively lower business priority). A user story is not
considered complete until the acceptance tests have passed.
VALIDATION TESTING:
Verification is intended to check that a product, service, or system (or portion thereof, or set thereof) meets a
set of initial design specifications. In the development phase, verification procedures involve performing special tests
to model or simulate a portion, or the entirety, of a product, service or system, then performing a review or analysis of
the modelling results. In the post-development phase, verification procedures involve regularly repeating tests devised
specifically to ensure that the product, service, or system continues to meet the initial design requirements,
specifications, and regulations as time progresses. It is a process that is used to evaluate whether a product, service, or
system complies with regulations, specifications or conditions imposed at the start of a development phase.
Verification can be in development, scale-up, or production. This is often an internal process.

43

5.2 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

System implementation is the practice of creating or modifying a system to create a new business
process or replace an existing business process. Technology integration is the practice of integrating multiple
system activities to interact and generate information efficiently. In both cases, the system development
lifecycle (SDLC) is heavily integrated in these practices. A CPA professional may be involved in designing a
system, performing end-user testing, or training others how to utilize the financial system.
As with the other phases of the system development life cycle, the system implementation phase has
multiple components or sub-phases. Up to now in the life cycle, the system has been planned, it has been
analyzed, and the system has been designed. Now, the system needs to be developed, which is known as
coding and is the first sub-phase. The second sub-phase is to test the newly coded system on multiple levels.
The third-phase is the planning and implementation of the new system. Finally, post-implementation is the
final sub-phase of system implementation.
Once the system has been coded, the system goes through different degrees of testing. It is important
to make sure the system works and performs the duties the system was intended to perform. The rest of this
section deals with the quality assurance process. Based upon Kendal and Kendal, quality should be tested on
internal and external factors (2005). The internal factors deals with the duties the systems should perform.
The external factors are the perceptions of the customers or other external parties such as suppliers.
Having a quality product will either make or break a company. For example, if someone asked a
mechanic what brand of tools they use, the mechanic might reply that they use either Snap-On or Craftsman.
These two tool manufactures created a name and reputation for themselves on producing tools that people
know and trust.
Overall, the main goal of the quality assurance process is to detect any problems or errors as early as
possible in the implementation process. For example, the quality assurance process can detect inaccurate
requirements. If a customer wants a microwave oven built and a toaster oven is mistakenly built, this
inaccuracy could have been avoided. One way of avoiding an issue like this is to perform documentation
reviews. In the microwave versus toaster oven issue, reviewing the system design specification would have
been a good starting area for researching the issue.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION
The Project titled is tested with sample data and found to be working well. The project has been
completed successfully with the maximum satisfaction of the organization. It has been designed to meet the
requirements. This software was tested and found to work satisfactorily without any problem. Various test
factors are also followed; it was error free and was found to work satisfactorily.
Testing and implementation are done successfully. The system satisfies all requirements needed by the
user. I conclude the software as best to my knowledge.
SCOPE FOR FURURE ENHANCEMENT
The windows application has developed in such way that enhancement can be done easily. The
changes can be updated with less time and have no risk to add a new modules. The system will be improved
for further enhancements, whenever the user needs an additional feature. It also helps to enhance their
application and thus it is helpful for the growth of the organization.
The below mentioned enhancements are likely to happen in the near future. The system can be easily
upgraded to hold these features.
This project can be further enhanced based on the future trends and strategies.
