System analysis is a crucial step when developing an AI shopping

system, whether you are building a new system or enhancing an existing
one. During this phase, its essential to thoroughly understand the
requirements and challenges to propose a system that utilizes artificial
intelligence to streamline the shopping experience.
Problem Definition of Existing System:

In many traditional shopping scenarios, customers face various

challenges:
1. Limited Personalization: Traditional shopping experiences lack
personalization, making it difficult for customers to discover products
tailored to their preferences.
2. Inefficient Product Search: Customers often spend a significant
amount of time searching for products in physical stores or navigating
through complex online catalogs.
3. Lack of Product Recommendations: Traditional systems do not
provide intelligent product recommendations based on a
customer's past behavior and preferences.
4. Checkout Process: The checkout process can be cumbersome and
time-consuming,potentially leading to cart abandonment.
5. Inventory Management: Retailers may struggle with inventory
management, leading to stockouts or overstock situations.

Proposed Solution for AI Shopping System:

To address these problems, you have developed an AI-powered
shopping system:
1. Personalized Shopping: The AI shopping system leverages customer
data and preferences to offer highly personalized shopping experiences,
suggesting products that match individual tastes.
2. Efficient Product Search: AI algorithms make product search more
efficient, allowing customers to quickly find what they are looking for.
3. Intelligent Recommendations: The system employs machine
learning to provide intelligent product recommendations, increasing
cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.
4. Streamlined Checkout: The checkout process is simplified and
optimized, reducing friction and cart abandonment rates.
5. Inventory Optimization: AI is used to optimize inventory
management, ensuring that products are in stock when needed, reducing
costs and waste.

Description of System
The "AI Shopping System" project is a forward-thinking and trans-
formative initiative designed to revolutionize the retail industry by
harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This project is self-
contained and does not rely on any existing products or systems. Its
primary objective is to automate and optimize various aspects of the
shopping experience, enabling retailers to provide more personalized and
efficient services to their customers.

Feasibility Study:
Before embarking on the development of the AI Shopping System, a
comprehensive feasibility study is essential to assess the project's viability
and potential for success. This study evaluates several key factors crucial
for project planning and execution, ensuring that the system aligns with its
goals and objectives.

This aspect of the feasibility study examines the technical resources
required for the successful implementation of the AI Shopping System. It
assesses:
The adequacy of existing software and hardware infrastructure to
meet the project's needs.
The availability of technical skills and capabilities within the software
development team to execute the project within the allocated time and
budget.
In the context of technical feasibility, the project will utilize the following
technologies:
Front-end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (for user interface and interactivity).
Back-end: PHP (for server-side processing and database management).
2) Economical Feasibility Study:
The economic feasibility study is essential for demonstrating the financial
viability of the project. It aims to showcase the net benefits and returns on
investment associated with the AI Shopping System.This analysis will
consider factors such as development costs, operational expenses, potential
revenue streams, and the expected return on investment for retailers.
3) Communicational Feasibility Study:
Effective communication is critical for the success of any project. In the
context of the AI Shopping System, communicational feasibility evaluates
the project team's ability to interact and collaborate with various
departments within the retail organization.
This includes departments such as HR (Human Resources), marketing,
sales, and purchasing, as the AI Shopping System may have implications
for these areas. It assesses how well the software engineering team can
communicate and coordinate with these departments to ensure a smooth
integration of the system.

SDLC MODEL
AGILE MODEL
The Agile model is suitable for the AI Shopping System because it
promotes flexibility and customer-centric development. It allows for
incremental improvements based on evolving requirements, ensuring that
the system can quickly adapt to changing market dynamics and customer
preferences. Agile's iterative approach facilitates regular feedback,
fostering a responsive and user-focused development process.

How Agile Woíks foí AI Shopping System

Start Small: Begin by creating a basic version of the AI Shopping System
with essential features.
Engage Users: Show it to potential users (shoppers) and gather their
opinions and suggestions.
Continuous Improvement: Make improvements based on user feedback,
one step at a time.
Repeat: Keep repeating this process, gradually enhancing the system.

Why Agile is Useful for AI Shopping System:

Design and Functionality: Agile helps design how the system looks and
works, ensuring it meets user expectations.

allowing you to adapt as you go.
User-Centric: Users actively contribute ideas and feedback, shaping the
system to their needs.
Easy Adaptation: You can make changes easily and quickly during
development.
For the AI Shopping System:
Start Simple: Begin with a basic shopping system version.
User Feedback: Collect user input on what works and what doesn't.
Continuous Enhancement: Keep improving the system based on user
input.
Testing and Refinement: Test and refine the system before the final

Test Cases for AI Shopping Project:

Test cases serve as organized sets of instructions, guiding the

execution of various functions within the AI Shopping System. They
ensure systematic testing by outlining step-by-step procedures to
validate the system's behavior. Test cases come in two forms: manual,
which requires manual execution by testers, and automated, which
employs automation tools for testing efficiency. During system
testing, it's essential to use test data that covers potential parameter
values as required by project specifications. To address errors
effectively, test cases dedicated to error conditions are ideally written
separately from functional tests, verifying error messages and logs. In
practical scenarios, error checks can be integrated into functional
testing, provided it's clear which test data may trigger errors. This
systematic approach contributes to the reliability of the AI Shopping
System.
