eCommerce web application design and development

Learning outcome 1: Illustrate the design of eCommerce web application.

Learning outcome 2: Construct an e-commerce application the demonstrates the interaction between a range of software components, such as HTML5, JavaScript, web services, and database.

Learning outcome 3: Demonstrate the connection between e-commerce software design and development.

Tasks to be undertaken:

eCommerce platforms are usually web-enabled software that allows stakeholders such as businesses and consumers to exchange information and provide services that could result in buying and/or selling. Interactions among stakeholders could take the following dimensions:

Sub-task 1: As an e-commerce software designer and developer, you have been asked to suggest an e-commerce software that could facilitate interaction between two or more stakeholders mentioned in table 1 (i.e. business and consumers). The interaction is expected to drive business or service interaction.
1. What e-commerce web application would you suggest? How will the web application work?
2. Highlight at least four functional requirements of the e-commerce web application.
Sub-task 2: Develop a 6-slide PowerPoint document that summarises the design of your proposed e-commerce software as follows:
1. A title page that contains your P-number and the name of the e-Commerce web application design

1. Ensure the web application demonstrate n-tier architecture.
2. Show clear interaction with database and reflect efficient database design/structure. An example of interaction is data insert or update events.
3. Reflect attributes of excellent coding technique, the program comes should be readable, efficient, extendable, unit-testable, and consistent.
4. The artifact should be adaptable to a real-world situation.
