INTODUCTION
The Cloth Store Management System is a software application designed to
streamline and automate the daily operations of a clothing retail store.
Traditional manual processes in stores—such as tracking inventory, managing
sales, handling billing, and maintaining customer records—are often time-
consuming and error-prone. This system addresses those challenges by providing
an efficient digital platform where all core operations are handled quickly,
accurately, and with minimal human effort.
By automating inventory management, billing, sales tracking, and report
generation, the system helps store owners save time, reduce operational costs,
and enhance customer satisfaction. It offers a user-friendly interface with
modules for product management, stock control, transaction processing, and
real-time reporting. This solution is ideal for small to medium-sized cloth stores
looking to modernize their business processes, improve accuracy, and make
better business decisions based on reliable data.
OBJECTIVE
Applying Programming Knowledge to Real-World Problems
Utilizing Modern Software Tools
Implementing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Principles
Developing Effective Procedural Code
Demonstrating Breadth of Knowledge in Computer Science
Conducting Research and Writing Scholarly Reports
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is a computerized application developed in C++ to
manage cloth store operations. It provides modules for inventory management,
sales tracking, billing, and reporting.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)
The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured approach to
software development that ensures efficiency and quality. It consists of several
phases: Initiation, where the need for a system is identified; Planning, which
defines project scope and resources; Design, where system architecture is
created; Development, where coding takes place; Testing, to ensure
functionality and security; Implementation, where the system is deployed; and
Maintenance, which involves updates and bug fixes. Each phase ensures the
project progresses smoothly, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
PHASES OF SDLC:
Planning
Requirement Analysis
System Design
Implementation
Integration and Testing
Deployment
Maintenance
SCDP (Software Conceptual Design Process):
SCDP involves creating conceptual diagrams and flowcharts of the software to
visualize modules, data flow, and logic before development begins.
Pictorial Representation of SDLC:
Diagram of SDLC cycle with arrows showing flow between each phase: Planning
→ Analysis → Design → Development → Testing → Implementation → Maintenance
Planning Phase:
Design Phase:
Create data flow diagrams, module architecture, and UI layouts.
Requirement Analysis Phase:
Collect and analyze the business needs from store staff and management.
Development Phase:
Actual coding in C++ is done based on the design.
Integration and T esting Phase:
Modules are integrated and tested for bugs and compatibility.
Implementation Phase:
The system is deployed in the store environment.
Operation and Maintenance Phase:
Regular updates, error fixing, and user support are provided.
TESTING METHODS
Software testing methods are traditionally divided into black box testing and
white box testing. These two approaches are used to describe the point of view
that a test engineer takes when designing test cases.
BLACK BOX TESTING:
Testing the functionality of the application without looking into internal code
structure. Example: Testing the billing system output.
SPECIFICATION BASED TESTING:
Testing done according to the software specifications and requirements to verify
expected behaviour.
ADVANTAGES AND DIADVANTAGES
Advantages:
* Faster billing process
* Improved inventory tracking
* Better customer satisfaction
* Automated reporting
Disadvantages:
* Initial setup cost
* Requires training for staff
* Depends on computer system reliability
WHITE BOX TESTING
Testing the internal logic and code of the program. Example: Checking loop
conditions in inventory updates.
