Work breakdown structure

The CMS development is divided into 7 phases:

Preparation:

During the preparation phase the tools (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) will be downloaded
and installed on the development platform (machine running Linux/Windows operating
system). All tools are free to use and available over the Internet. The development
environment will be configured then, to further provide easy and rapid access to the
tools. Learning programming language PHP, getting knowledge on MySQL.

The deliverable expected: Standalone properly configured Linux/Windows OS

based machine, Knowledge base to start writing the code.

Database management:

The MySQL DBMS will be configured appropriately to host the all the data.

The deliverable expected: Properly configured and tested MySQL DBMS.

Main module algorithm development:

A PHP script will be developed to serve as a fundament (platform) to other modules

and to which other modules will be tied. The scripts should provide basic functionality
including authentication, table creation in database, administrator interface. The PHP
embedded libraries and ready off the shelf scripts (if available) will be used to speed
up the development.

The deliverable expected: Main module script/s.

Specific Modules development:

Separate compulsory modules including Authentication and Authorization, Product

Registration, Retail, Report Generator and Serial communication will be developed and
connected to Database. Each module can work independently with Database providing
its own functionality.

The deliverable expected: Ready to use separate independent Modules

WUI development:
Web-based User Interface will provide easy to use interface to all the functional
capabilities of the application. PHP scripts with interface will allow to interact (add,
delete, modify data) with database. HTML/CSS will provide some eye candies. Apache
will host the WUI.

The deliverable expected: WUI.

Integration of Modules and testing:

During integration and testing the system will be put together and tested for correct
and expected functionality. Bugs found will be corrected and the overall performance
of the scripts will be measured.

The deliverable expected: Testing and benchmarking report.

Documentation:

The documentation for the SAS will be created.

The deliverable expected: Documentation.
