1. Introduction
This document outlines the requirements for extending the open-source Shopping Cart app,
available at https://github.com/shashirajraja/shopping-cart, into a personalized web application
named "Concordia Cart App." The original Shopping Cart app is an e-commerce platform that
allows customers to register, log in, browse products, add items to their cart, and complete
purchases. However, the Concordia Cart App aims to enhance the user experience and tailor it
to individual preferences by implementing several new features and improvements.
1.1 Scope
Concordia Cart App aspires to provide a superior and individualized e-commerce experience.
The original Shopping Cart app facilitates user registration, product browsing, cart management,
and purchases. However, the Concordia Cart App transcends these basics, introducing
personalized product recommendations by analyzing user interactions and preferences. It
dynamically applies discounts based on user interests and product popularity, offers cost-
effective educational resources, and assists admins by suggesting discounts on best and least-
selling items and optimizing inventory. This transformation aims to redefine online shopping,
catering to diverse user needs while optimizing retail operations.
3. Stakeholder Description
The stakeholders of the Concordia Cart app can be categorized into two main groups:
Customers and Administrators.
The users can connect and access the Concordia Cart system in the following environments:
Software Requirements: Users can access the system through web browsers on desktop,
tablet, and mobile devices. They should have a modern web browser installed to access the
application (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari).
Server Requirements: The system should be hosted on a web server that supports the
necessary technologies (e.g., PHP, MySQL, web frameworks). Server resources must be
adequate to handle user traffic and data storage.
Network Requirements: Users require an internet connection to access the Concordia Cart app.
4. Product Overview
The Concordia Cart app is a web-based e-commerce platform designed to facilitate the online
shopping experience for customers and provide administration tools for system administrators.
Users can interact with the system through web browsers, viewing products, adding items to
their carts, and completing purchases. The system will also offer personalized
recommendations and discounts based on user preferences and product popularity.
Administrators can manage product listings, monitor sales, and apply discounts and restocking
suggestions.
Third-Party Software: The system may use third-party libraries or services for features such as
payment processing and analytics. The system's functionality should be dependent on the
reliability and compatibility of these third-party components.
Security Requirements: The system must adhere to security standards and protocols to protect
user data, payment information, and system integrity. Compliance with industry-specific
regulations (e.g. GDPR for data privacy) should be considered.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements: The system should comply with all applicable laws and
regulations related to e-commerce, data protection, and consumer rights.
Software Dependencies: The Concordia Cart app depends on specific software technologies
and frameworks, such as web servers: PHP, MySQL, and front-end libraries. Any updates or
changes to these dependencies may impact the system's functionality and should be carefully
managed.
Terms and Conditions: The system should have clearly defined terms and conditions for users,
outlining their rights and responsibilities when using the platform.
7. Use-Cases
Description: This use case occurs when the user is browsing the web app. It involves
analyzing the user's past interactions, purchases, and preferences to display popular and
unpopular items based on their interests and preferred brands.
Pre-Conditions:
· Customers must be logged into their account.
· Customers must have at least one purchase or browsing history.
Post-Conditions:
· Success: Customer sees a list of popular and unpopular items.
· Failure: Customer does not receive item recommendations.
Main Scenario:
· Customers log into their account.
· Customer browses the web app.
· The system analyzes the user's past interactions, purchases, and preferences.
· The system displays a list of popular and unpopular items based on the user's interests.
· The system incorporates user ratings and reviews into the item recommendations.
Extensions:
· If customers do not provide ratings and reviews, the system continues to suggest items based
on past user behavior and sales data.
Special Requirements:
· The system must update item popularity data regularly.
· Recommendations should be relevant to the user's interests and brands.
