Hardware and software Requirements
3.1 Requirement Analysis
Software Requirement Specification is a technical specification of requirements for the software products. SRS represents an overview of products, features and summarizes the processing environment for development operation and maintenance of the product.
Software Requirement Specification completely describes what the proposed software is supposed to do, without explaining what it actually does. It contains all the basic requirements that are needed for the development of the software.
The main purpose for preparing this document is to give a general insight into the analysis and requirements of the existing system or situation and for determining the operating characteristics of the system. An SRS provides a reference for validation of the final product. The Online Tours and Travels website is useful for the customers who like to book the Ticket online without going to booking office and dealing face to face. It provides the facility to the customers or the users to have complete information about the Tours and Travels at one place.

System Design Architecture
Deciding which module are needed for the system, the specification of these module should be interconnected is called “SYSTEM DESIGN”. System design is also called Top Level design. The design of a system is a plan for solution for the system here we consider a system to be set of components with clearly defined behavior that interact with each in a fixed manner to produce some behavior.
4.1 E-R Diagram
An ER model is an abstract way to describe a database. Describing a database usually starts with a relational database, which stores data in tables. Diagrams created to design these entities and relationships are called entity–relationship diagrams or ER diagrams. E-R diagram depicts the various relationships among entities, considering each object as entity. Peter Chen developed ERDs in 1976.
4.2.1 Entity-Relationship Diagram Notation:
Entity: An entity is an object or concept about which you want to store information.
Weak Entity: A weak entity is an entity that must defined by a foreign key relationship with another entity as it cannot be uniquely identified by its own attributes alone.
Key attribute: A key attribute is the unique, distinguishing characteristic of the entity. For example, an employee’s social security number might be the employee’s key attribute.

4.2 Data Flow Diagram
A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the “flow” of data through an information system, modelling its process aspects. Often they are a preliminary step used to create an overview of the system which can later be elaborated. DFDs can also be used for the visualization of data processing (structured design).
A DFD shows what kinds of information will be input to and output from the system, where the data will come from and go to, and where the data will be stored. It does not show information about the timing of processes, or information about whether processes will operate in sequence or in parallel.
4.2.1 Description of the Documents
The notations used in the diagram are:
Process:
A process transforms incoming data flow into outgoing data flow.
Data Store:
Data stores are repositories of data in the system. They are sometimes
also referred to as files.
External Entity:
External entities are objects outside the system, with which the system
Communicates. External entities are sources and destinations of the
system’s inputs and outputs.
Dataflow:
Dataflow are pipelines through which packets of information flow. Label
the arrows with the name of the data that moves through it .

Testing
Software testing is the process of executing a program or system with the intent of finding errors. Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results. Although crucial to software quality and widely deployed by programmers and testers, software testing is still an art, due to limited understanding of the principles of software. Testing is more than just debugging. The purpose of testing can be quality assurance, verification and validation or reliability estimation. Testing can be used as a generic metric as well. Correctness testing and reliability testing are two major areas of testing.
6.1 Testing approach
Testing is the penultimate step of software development. While testing is done, errors are noted and correction is made. Both hardware and software securities are made to run the developed system successfully.
System testing is aimed at ensuring the system works accurately before the live operation commences. Testing is vital to the system. System testing makes a logical assumption that if all parts of the system are correct, the goal will be successfully achieved. A series of testing are performed for the proposed system before the system is ready for user acceptance testing.
Normally, testing of any large systems will be in two parts: The functional verification and validation against the indicated requirements. Testing activity is involved right from the beginning of the project.
Characteristics of a Good test:
• Tests are likely to catch bugs
• No redundancy
• Not too simple or too complex
6.2 System Testing
When a system is developed, it is hoped that it performs properly. The main purpose of testing and information system is to find the errors and correct them.
The main objectives of system testing are:
• To ensure during operation the system will perform as per specification.
• To make sure that the system meets user’s requirements during operation.
• To verify that the controls incorporated in the system function as intended.
• To see that when correct inputs are fed to the system the outputs are correct.
• To make sure that during operation incorrect input and output will be deleted.
System testing is the process of checking if the developed system is working according to the original objectives and requirements.
6.3 Types of testing
Clearly, the success of testing is revealing errors in programs depend critically on the test cases. The two basic approaches are:
• Black box or Functional testing
• White box or Structural testing
6.3.1 Black box or Functional testing
A software testing technique whereby the internal workings of the item being tested are not known by the tester. The tester does not ever examine the programming code and does not need any further knowledge of the program other than its specifications.
6.3.2 White box or Structural testing
White box testing includes analyzing data flow, control flow, information flow, coding practices and exception and error handling within the system to test the intended and unintended software behavior.
