Lab Report-Billing Module Development
Introduction
This report covers the design and implementation of the Billing Module for the Restaurant
Billing System. The module handles bill generation, total calculations, and receipt printing,
ensuring an accurate and seamless experience for both customers and staff. The Billing Module
plays a critical role in the overall functionality of the system, providing a clear summary of
charges and ensuring efficient financial processing.
Methodology
The development of the Billing Module was done in several steps:
1. Understanding Requirements
• Itemized Billing: Displaying each ordered item with its price and quantity.
• Receipt Generation: Creating and formatting receipts for printing or saving.
• Payment Processing: Integrating with payment systems for card or cash payments.
The module was designed with clear separation of concerns to ensure maintainability and
scalability. Key components include:
1. Bill Class
o Attributes: BillID, ItemsList, TotalAmount
o Methods: AddItem(), RemoveItem(), CalculateTotal(), GenerateReceipt()
2. PaymentProcessor Class
o Handles the logic for processing payments and integrating with external payment
gateways.
• Encapsulation: Ensuring class details are hidden, exposing only necessary methods.
• Modularity: Dividing the module into separate components like bill calculation and
payment processing.
• Error Handling: Adding checks for invalid operations, such as negative amounts or
incorrect input data.
The module was tested extensively to ensure it met the system's requirements. The tests
included:
• Accurate Billing: The module accurately calculates total amounts based on ordered
items.
• Clear Receipts: Receipts are well-formatted, displaying all necessary details for
customers.
• Seamless Integration: The module integrates smoothly with the order management and
payment systems.
