Web-based transaction processing system:

Abstract

This report represents a web-based transaction processing system whose case study was Dolly hardware limited, Mable city. The major objective was to develop a web-based transaction processing system which would be used to manage and carry out business transactions at the hardware shop. Rapid Application Development method was used to develop the system because it makes work flow more collaborative and quicker, it reduces risks since it requires short agile sprints that repeat as frequently as the project requires. This iterative approach uncovers bugs and logic issues earlier in the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) before they can derail delivery. The system was developed by use of a text editor (visual studio code) for writing code, PHP Query were used in the coding process for example PHP was used for creating client pages, MYSQL was used for all data entry forms for example developing database tables, a web browser (Google chrome) was used to display webpages, Operating system (Windows XP professional/ Windows 7) was also used to control and manage the operations of the computer, Scripting language JavaScript was used in implementing the system to check and report errors. The system was tested by used of sample data generated to ensure the system meets the requirements. After confirmation the system was implemented.
