The existing system for an e-commerce website typically involves an operational website that
facilitates online buying and selling of products or services. Here's a breakdown of the
components typically found in an existing e-commerce system:
Website Interface: The e-commerce website provides an interface for users to browse products,
add items to their shopping cart, and proceed to checkout. It includes features such as product
categories, search functionality, product pages with descriptions and images, and a shopping cart
system.

A process model is like a roadmap that shows the steps and activities a project goes through from
start to finish. It helps teams understand the workflow, plan tasks, and ensures a structured
approach to achieving project goals.

The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes
in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of
Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Production/Implementation and
Maintenance.
Thus, the waterfall model maintains that one should move to a phase only when its proceeding
phase is completed and perfected.
However, there are various modified waterfall models (including Royce's final model) that may
include slight or major variations on this process.
19
E-commerce Website 2023-2024
All possible requirements of the system to be developed are captured in this phase. Requirements
are a set of functions and constraints that the end user (who will be using the system) expects
from the system. The requirements are gathered from the end user at the start of the software
development phase. These requirements are analyzed for their validity, and the possibility of
incorporating the requirements in the system to be developed is also studied. Finally, a
requirement specification document is created which serves the purpose of guideline for the next
phase of the model
Before starting the actual coding phase, it is highly important to understand the requirements of
the end user and also have an idea of how the end product should look like. The requirement
specifications from the first phase are studied in this phase and a system design is prepared.
System design helps in specifying hardware and system requirements and also helps in defining
the overall system architecture. The system design specifications serve as an input for the next
phase of the model.
On receiving system design documents, the work is divided in modules/units and actual coding is
started. The system is first developed in small programs called units, which are integrated in the
next phase. Each unit is developed and tested for its functionality; this is referred to as unit
testing. Unit testing verifies if the modules/units meet their specifications.
As specified above, the system is first divided into units which are developed and tested for their
functions. These units are integrated into a complete system during integration phase and tested
to check if all modules/units coordinate with each other, and the system as a whole behaves as
per the specifications. After successfully testing the software, it is delivered to the customer.

This phase of the waterfall model is virtually a never-ending phase. Generally, problems with the
system developed (which are not found during the development life cycle) come up after its
practical use starts, so the issues related to the system are solved after deployment of the system.
Not all the problems come into picture directly, but they arise from time to time and need to be
solved; hence this process is referred to as maintenance.
