 Analysis

Feasibility Studies:
After doing the project PG-life System, study and analyzing existing or required functionalities of
the system, the next task is to do is feasibility study for the project. All projects are feasible - given
unlimited resources and infinite time.

Feasibility study includes consideration of all the possible ways to provide a solution to the
given problem. The proposed solution will satisfy all the user or should be flexible enough so that
future changes can be easily done based on the future upcoming requirements.

A. Economical Feasibility
This is a very important aspect to be considered while developing a project. We decided
the technology based on minimal possible cost factor.
• All hardware and software cost has to be borne by organization.
• Overall we have estimated that the benefits the organization is going to receive from the
proposed system will surely overcome the initial cost and later on running cost for system.

B. Technical Feasibility
This include the study of function, performance and constraints that may affect the
ability to achieve an acceptable system. For this feasibility study, we studied complete
functionalities to be provided in the system, as described in the System Requirement
Specification(SRS), and checked if everything was possible using different types of frontend and
backend platforms.

C. Operational Feasibility
No doubt the proposed system is fully GUI based that is very user friendly and all inputs
to be taken all self-explanatory even to a layman. Besides, a proper training has been conducted to
let know the essence of the system to the users so that they feel comfortable with new system. As
far our study concerned the clients are comfortable and happy as the system has cut down their
loads and doing.
DFD(Data Flow Diagram)
A Data flow Diagram(DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data through an
information system. DFD scan also be used for the visualization of data processing(structured design). A
Data Flow Diagram(DFD) is a significant modeling technique for analyzing and constructing information
process. DFD literally means an illustration that explains the course or movement of information in a
process. DFD illustrates this flow of information in a process based on the inputs and outputs. A DFD can
can be referred to as a Process Model.

 Reports
Report of Project SmartKart:
Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs to manage their project work.
Several user friendly coding have also adopted. This package shall prove to be a powerful
package in satisfying all the requirements of the school. The objective of software planning is
to provide a frame work that enables the manager to make reasonable estimates made within a
limited time frame at the beginning of the software project and should beupdatesdregularly as
the project progresses.

At the end it is concluded that we have made efforts on following points:

• A description of the background and context of the project and its relation to work
already done in the area.
• Made statement of the aims and objectives of the project.
• The description of Purpose, Scope and applicability.
• We define the problem one which we are working in the project.
• We describe the requirement specifications of the system and the actions that can
be done on these things.
• We understand the problem domain and produce a model of the system, which
describes operations that can be performed on the system.
• We included features and operations in detail including screen layouts

 Limitations

Limitations of the Project:

Although I have put my best efforts to make the software flexible, easy to operate but
limitations cannot be ruled out even for me. Through the software presents a broad range of
options to its users some intricate options could not be covered into it; partly because of logistic
and partly due of lack of sophistication. Paucity of time was also major constraint, thus it was not
possible to make the software fool proof and dynamic. Lack of time also compelled me to ignore
some part such as storing old result of the candidate etc.

Considerable efforts have made the software easy to operate even for the people not
related to the field of computers but it is acknowledge that a layman may find a bit problematic at
the first instance. The user is provided help at each step for his convenience in working with the
software.

List of Limitations of Project:

• Technical Constraints:
1. Limited Scalability: The website's architecture may face challenges in handling a
large volume of concurrent users or scaling up to accommodate rapid growth.
2. Performance Issues: Heavy traffic or inefficient code may lead to slow loading
times, unresponsive pages, or server crashes, impacting the user experience.
3. Dependency on Third-Party Services: Integration with external services like
payment gateways or shipping APIs introduces dependencies and potential points
of failure.
• Security Concerns:
1. Data Breaches: Security vulnerabilities or loopholes in the website's code could
expose sensitive user data to unauthorized access or cyberattacks.
2. Payment Fraud: Inadequate measures to prevent payment fraud or secure payment
transactions may result in financial losses for both users and the platform.
3. Phishing and Scams: Users may fall victim to phishing scams or fraudulent
schemes masquerading as SmartKart, compromising their personal information or
financial details.
• Market Competition:
The e-commerce market may be highly competitive, with numerous players vying for
market share and customer attention, making it challenging to stand out Establishing
brand recognition and building trust among consumers may take time and require
substantial marketing efforts and investments.
