CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION OF WEB BASED
GOLD AND JEWEL SHOP
The gold and gem market is one of the most expensive and rapidly growing world
markets. There are lots of different peoples who are a part of this system with
immensely different backgrounds and the advent of the Internet as a shopping
medium has enabled customers to gain shopping benefits such as convenience and
time-saving, better information, and price savings. This project aims to provide a
better understanding of the benefits of Internet shopping by identifying and
discussing the advantages of Internet shopping over traditional storefront
shopping.
The use of the Internet as a shopping medium has empowered customers with
advantages over traditional storefront shopping. This paper identifies and
discusses these advantages in terms of: 1) convenience and time-saving, 2)
powerful research instrument, 3) lower search costs and better product selection,
and 4) better price information and lower prices.
1.1
CONVENIENCE AND TIME-SAVING
Shopping on the Internet offers convenience and time-saving benefits to
customers, as compared to shopping in traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
Changing consumer lifestyles and lack of time may make it more difficult for
consumers to shop at physical locations such as stores and shopping malls.
Shopping on the Internet addresses this problem as customers can shop in the
comfort and convenience of home. The Internet operates 24 hours a week, seven
days a week, and can be accessed anywhere in the connected world; customers
can expect to browse and purchase goods on the Internet anytime, unlike
traditional storefronts that have fixed opening hours. Customers can also purchase
goods that are unavailable at their location, and are able to bypass restrictive
import policies, as the Internet allows customers to make purchases from vendors
in other locations around the world

GOLD AND JEWEL WEBSITE
POWERFUL RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
Customers are able to use the Internet as a powerful research instrument in the
purchasing process. For certain products such as books and Videos/CDs/DVDs,
reviews and recommendations are important factors in influencing purchase
decision. With such products, customers are not only able to browse through a
larger selection on the Web in sites such as Amazon.com, but are also able to
conveniently obtain reviews and recommendations that are usually unavailable in
offline stores.
Customers who shop online do not necessarily make the purchase online, but
'offline' from a brick-and-mortar storefront, and vice versa. 46 percent of online
buyers research online to purchase offline, while 27 percent research offline to
purchase online and 17 percent research in both ways, according to Forrester
Research (Vigoroso 2001).
1.3
LOWER SEARCH COSTS AND BETTER PRODUCT
SELECTION
Shopping using the Internet overcomes the time and pecuniary costs of traditional
shopping; customers can shop from the comfort and convenience of home, and
need not travel to physical storefronts. Customers are able to locate many vendors
online using search engines and websites designed to navigate customer’s, view
detailed product information from a variety of vendors' websites, compare price
and quality among different vendors, and make purchases online.
With online shopping, shoppers no longer have to suffer the costs and incomplete
information of traditional hierarchical search, making product searches easier and
more effective
1.4
BETTER PRICE INFORMATION AND LOWER PRICES
The Internet makes it easier for customers to compare prices between vendors.
Online vendors offer the prices of their goods in their websites. Simply by
viewing different vendor websites, customers are able to obtain and compare
prices easily, as compared to visiting different physical storefronts, which is costly
and time consuming. Customers are able to find lower prices using the Internet
Institute of Management Studies, University of Peshawar

due to the wider reach of information, and navigator websites such as
www.autobytel.com that offers prices of competing vendors. With price
information on the Internet, customers are less vulnerable to overpaying when
buying from physical storefronts that may manipulate prices to customer’s
disadvantages.

THE PRESENT SYSTEM
2.1
INTRODUCTION TO PRESENT SYSTEM
In The gold and gem market mainly buying and selling is done by shopping via
gold and gem shops which exist physically, There are many peoples who are a
part of this system with immensely different backgrounds. The main current
scenario of this business is that there is shop in which jewelry is displayed inside
the shelves for the customers who will have to come to the shop and select jewelry
of there on choice and then pay for it.
This way of transaction requires certain steps to be taken both by the customer as
well the owner. First of all you need to have large shop in order to attract the
customers. Secondly you will have to keep human resources for dealing
customers. You will also be keeping shelves; you will be paying for the electricity
(as we know that there is lots of lighting in jewelry shop),there is always a fear of
robbery as you are exposing your most precious jewels to the customers on the
shelf and also it will require lots of your time to be in the shop.
2.2
PROBLEM IN EXISTING SYSTEM
We first check the present system of gold and gem merchandising so that we get
to know about the flaws and shortcomings of the existing system. This is essential
because only then we can design a new and better system that is free from the
flaws of the present system.
Unfortunately in the present system there is no computerization for record keeping
or entering new information is done before and all the work is carried out
manually.
As the Current System is manual so there are a lot of problems in this system.
Some of them are:

Time factor, i.e. Much of the time is wasted by visiting and selecting any
of the design from the shops.

Chapter – 2
THE PRESENT SYSTEM

Some times good and trust worthy shops are inaccessible.

Hard to check day to day records.

In order to see the different designs of particular Gem or gold, the servants
in the shop has to open the shelves, search the item of that particular gem
which the customer is demanding. All this procedure requires a lot of time
to access it.

Exposing your most precious jewels to the customers is insecure..

Unavailability of security system..

Manual system requires more expenses, more time, and more labor and
hence would have been resulted into huge problems.

More labor required to maintain different sort of daily works for the
different kind of stakeholders involved.

Human errors because of the manual system might have occurred as
nobody is perfect in this mortal world.

Because of the human error organizations might suffer law suites.
The biggest of all the tasks would have cost more than expected.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
3.1
INTRODUCTION
As we know that gold and jewelry industry normally has got lot of investment
involved in it. One can realize the fact that there is a need to automate this system
and secondly the business man of this industry can afford the cost of software
application for easing there transaction process.
The Current system as we can see has got many drawbacks to it. The system that
is being proposed is a web based solution for the gold and jewel industry. The
thing that is going to be achieved is that the owner of a gold shop will be provided
with a web application in which he will display all of his gold and jewelry staff to
be seen by the customers as they browse there web application. There will be a
facility of online transaction if the owner asks it from the Pay pall or other such
facility providers. The customers will be enjoying this facility as there will be no
need for them to come out of there house, burn there fuel (which is real expensive
now a days), no fear of carrying a lot of money as the transaction will take place
on line, customer can easily go through different jewelry items and get to know
there prices and finally select the one he thinks is the best.
So by proposing this new system it will be insured that both the owner and the
customer enjoy this system. There is a chance that this may bring a new revolution
in this industry.

Software Used in Developing the Project

Microsoft Visual Studio
PROPOSED SYSTEM
Microsoft Visual Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from
Microsoft. It can be used to develop console and Graphical user interface
applications along with Windows Forms applications, web sites, web applications,
and web services in both native code together with managed code for all platforms
supported by Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, .NET
Framework, .NET Compact Framework and Microsoft Silverlight.
Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense as well as code
refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a
machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building
GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It
allows plug-ins to be added that enhance the functionality at almost every level including adding support for source control systems (like Subversion and Visual
SourceSafe) to adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domainspecific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development
lifecycle (like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).
Visual Studio supports languages by means of language services, which allow any
programming language to be supported (to varying degrees) by the code editor
and debugger, provided a language-specific service has been authored. Built-in
languages include C/C++ (via Visual C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET),
and C# (via Visual C#). Support for other languages such as Chrome, F#, Python,
and Ruby among others has been made available via language services which are
to be installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML,
JavaScript and CSS. Language-specific versions of Visual Studio also exist which
provide more limited language services to the user. These individual packages are
called Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual J#, Visual C#, and Visual C++.
Currently, Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 Professional Editions, along with
language-specific versions (Visual Basic, C++, C#, J#) of Visual Studio 2005 are
available to students as downloads free of charge via Microsoft's DreamSpark
program. Visual Studio 2010 is currently in development.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the implementation phase of a system is to transfer its design into
executable computer software. During this phase the design in the form of shapes
and text is converted in working software. The software is developed into working
software. The software is developed in such a way so that it can meet the
requirements and specifications of the users, the implementation phase of any
system is concerned with the tools used in the development work and the
components is used to implement the system. This phase is more practical and
important because it involves the realization of the actual system and it has to
meet the requirements of the customers.
6.2
TOOLS SELECTION
When it came to implementation phase, the first think is to choose appropriate
tools and platform for the development of the software. The decision is to tool
selection is very difficult and crucial.
Because every organization has constable resources against their goal and these
goals are achieved by under some conditions. So when we are going to select tools
and platform for over implement of the system. We considered the human
available with in organization, economically effort able to organization. The
decision should be wise enough to avoid farther difficulties and problems in the
lat stages of the developments life cycle. Therefore, there are two things to be
catered:

Operating System

Programming language Selection.
6.2.1
Operating System Selection
An operating system should be chosen that fulfils the requirements of the software
and it is available to user easily.

Chapter – 6
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Ms-Window XP is used as operating system. Window XP is easily available in
the, market, and its price is also low, and its instillation is very simple…so the
Conclusion is that Window XP is used as a platform to implement over system.
6.2.2
Data Base Selection
Ms-Access is the very popular tool for the database which is provided by
Microsoft Company. Ms-Access database engine can easily handle office data
especially in case of our web site.
Ease of installation and use
Ms-Access is easy to install on a computer. Users are guided in a few steps to
install Access.
6.2.3
Programming Language Selection
ASP.NET is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft
to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web
services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET
Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP)
technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR),
allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported.NET
language. ASP.NET pages, known officially as "web forms", are the main
building block for application development.[8] Web forms are contained in files
with an ASPX extension; in programming jargon, these files typically contain
static (X)HTML markup, as well as markup defining server-side Web Controls
and User Controls where the developers place all the required static and dynamic
content for the web page. Additionally, dynamic code which runs on the server
can be placed in a page within a block <% -- dynamic code -- %> which is similar
to other web development technologies such as PHP, JSP, and ASP, but this
practice is generally discouraged except for the purposes of data binding since it
requires more calls when rendering the page

GOLD AND JEWEL-WEB SITE
7.1
INTRODUCTION
As mentioned in the previous chapter that the present system had many
shortcomings in it. The system that we have proposed is almost a fool proof
system. All it needs is that care should be taken at the time of entering data to
database. Once the data has been stored correctly into the database, all the rest of
the process is very transparent.
Like other web sites of business organizations, our site also consists of a number
of static and dynamic pages. I have suggested the following option /facilities
should be provided to the user/client as well which are feasible . The specification
is…
Project Name: GOLD AND JEWEL ON THE WEB
To develop the representation for “GOLD AND JEWEL” On-Line.
Composition:

The site will be composed of two parts.

The Client site:
The client site will be available globally.

The Administrator site
To be used internally by the admin for upgrading, inserting new information,
deleting or removing the old information, searching the information, generating
various types of reports etc.

SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION
CHAPTER – 9
QUALITY ASSURANCE, SYETEM TESTING
& IMPLEMENTATION
9.1
SYSTEM TESTING
To find the error in software is a very difficult job. Errors are more common,
more pervasive, and more troublesome in software than other technologies. So
testing is vital to the success of the software. It is ac critical element of software
quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of specification, design, and
code generation. Once source code has been generated, software must be tested to
uncover (and correct) as many errors as possible before delivery to the customer.
It involves two main processes.
Validation
The process involves showing the system to the user and checking whether
it fulfills his expectations.
Verification
This process involves testing the system according to requirement specifications.
It is checked that whether implementation is according to the specifications.
9.2
TESTING STRATEGY
The classical strategy for testing computer software begins with “testing in the
small” and progress towards “testing in the large”.
Bottom up testing strategy has been used. Small components have first been tested
individually and then overall system has been tested after integrating the subsystems.
An overall strategy for system testing is as follow:
9.2.1
Unit Testing
Each function is tested according to its design specification so the unit testing is a
testing focus on the smallest unit of software design.
Institute of Management Studies, University of Peshawar
42
Chapter – 9
9.2.2
SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Integration Testing
The focus is on group of functions that share data or communicate in some
manner.
9.2.3
Validation Testing
It conform that where the software meet the customer requirements.
9.2.4
System Testing
Requirements established as part of software requirements analysis are validated
against the software that has been constructed. The software and other system
elements are tested as a whole.
9.2.5
Functional Testing
It is testing of the externally visible functional behavior of the application. It relies
on the specification of the system or component. The functionality of the web site
has been tested according to the following test cases. In these test cases an attempt
is made to cover all the conditions of the occurrence of error but as programmers
tend to test their own code according to the assumptions they used when they are
writing it, whereas most error occur because the programmer’s assumptions were
wrong so there be some conditions that are not tested yet.

SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
Every software has possibilities of improvements an enhancements to improve its
functionality. This system can be further enhanced if added any he some extra
functionality.
This system is developed to cater the current requirements of the organization. In
the future, improvements can be made according to any new requirements added
by the organization. The proposed system is flexible enough to accommodate the
augmented needs of the organization if any in the future.
Further enhancements are possible in the following areas of the system.

User interface of the system can be enhanced and more attractive
functionality can be added.

The pay pall system can also be developed with the current system which
shows information to the customers about their price record.

Delivery process of the items can be made more efficient.
9.5
PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular schedule for the web site and database backup should be followed to
avoid problems in case of system breakdown. To minimize redundancy in the
system and sharing of the same data it is thus recommended that the user of this
system should understand the system so that in future if any changes are to be
made in integrated one might just build on the existing system instead of building
the new system.

EVALUATION & USER GUIDE
10.1 EVALUATION & USER GUIDE
After system development, the designer evaluates the system to observe whether
the objectives of the system are achieved or not. There are always some areas for
improving to make the system perfect.
In this section features of new developed system and future enhancement are
discussed.
10.2 MERITS OF THE SYSTEM
New developed system has the following characteristics.

The working of the developed system is efficient than that of the previous
system, due to the involvement of the Database on the backend.

There are few chances of errors in new developed system, again due to the
use of Client side validation.

The system is user friendly. The user will feel easy while using the system.
Many interface elements are provided in the system. In case of invalid entry
meaningful errors and showing the correct syntax are displayed this will
guide the user instantly.

The new system has all possible qualities to achieve its objectives in the
future. The new developed system meets all the present requirements.
However it also has the capability to accept the future requirements and
improvements.

The user guide contains the information about the particular use of this
software i.e. how to enter, edit, view, delete and retrieve information.
10.3 BEFORE START
As this program is developed in Windows XP, ASP.net, HTML 4.0, java Script,
and Ms Access. This software must be installed on a server nevertheless not
necessarily on the workstations.
Institute of Management Studies, University of Peshawar

Chapter – 10
EVALUATION AND USER GUIDE
Starting process
Before starting the program, it is necessary to discuss that there are two versions
of this software i.e.

For the online users

For the local Administrator .
For The Online Users
The first type of users will use the software through Internet, so obviously they
will use any kind of browser, through which they can access the web site Once the
users come to the web site, by giving its URL in the address bar of the browser, it
has different hyperlinks through which he/she can talk different kind of
information and can reach to information provided on different links. He/she can
rate the items, which is the actual purpose of building this software.
For The Local Administration
The second user of the software, the local Administrator, will not use the software
online. Rather they will use it offline. For that purpose a separate interface has
been developed for local use. In order to use this local interface, the Administrator
has a login password to enter the address of the home page (not of the web site,
but this is the address of the home page of the local interface) in the address bar of
the browser.
Interface: User
After providing the address the home page is displayed. This page contains a
number of hyperlinks, which are:

EVALUATION AND USER GUIDE
Each of these hyperlinks is linked with the appropriate page, so by simply clicking
the hyperlink the appropriate page will be displayed.
Interface: Administrator
When the Administrator provides the address he/she will get an interface, which is
quite different from the web site. But in order to make some resemblance it is also
made using ASP.net and HTML and also its structure is similar to that of the web
site. However the choices provided to the user are quite different.
The choices available to Administrator are:

Insert

Delete

Search

Update
There is nothing complicated each and everything is self-explanatory. This help
will provide general concepts. That how you will insert, delete, search, update
records.
