Investigating a Transactional Website (www.latestdvd9.com)

By Kamran Adnan Transactional Websites A transactional website is one that allows visitors to buy goods or services online and also pay for them online. The most common type of transactional websites offer goods such as books, electronics, and food. However there are also websites that offer other type of goods and services such as travelling tickets, downloadable games/software or online movies. In most cases these websites were created by large companies and supermarket chains, whereas there are also some where the general public can sell their own goods. Examples for this are Play.com and Amazon.com. My Transactional Website (LatestDVD9) The transactional website that I have chosen to investigate is LatestDVD9.com. This is a website that sells a variety of movies on DVDs. The website sells only movies on DVDs including mainly Hollywood and also a few Bollywood movies. It is a very popular DVD selling website because customers can find almost every Hollywood movie they are looking for, no matter how old it is. There are even movies available that came out more than 65 years ago. Purpose As the name of the website tells it, its purpose is mainly to sell DVDs. The website is to sell the latest films that have just come out in cinemas on DVDs and sell these mainly in the United States.

Wjec alevel ict creating a website

PRESENTATION The Web site BASIC FEATURES Purpose and intended user The website was designed with the idea of promoting the business to present and potential customers of both Warley Painters and Builders. In particular I was trying to advertise the discount that would be offered to customers should they decide to get work done by the businesses. To do this the website not only includes images and testimonials of the business but also sound clips that give an inspirational feel. The introduction of flash animations gives the businesses a professional image. The introduction of a flash gallery allows the user of the website to get immersed into the website. To show the discount I have inserted a movie made from images of the work done by Warley Painters and builders into it. In the movie there are descriptions of the discounts available. The Warley Builders page displays were and when the presentation is to give customers information on the discounts offered. It also has a link to the AA for customers to be able to get there easily. Company ethos and the Website The company logo incorporates the use of the colours green and yellow. Although I have used these colours in the website I decided to use brown as the background colour. I felt that brown would be able to give a warm natural image and a potential comfort in the company. The colour brown was also used to express

Alarm Systems Analysis

Introduction There have been a number of burglaries in the area in which the Peterson family are living; thus they have become increasingly interested in Control Technology in their home. They have contacted me, and my task is to prepare a report, which advises them upon various alarm systems, also considering fire detection systems. I am going to provide the Peterson's with two reports, one outlining a basic security system for the family, and the other a more advanced top of the range system. This will give the family the necessary information to decide which system would suit their needs the most as well as being within their price range. In the reports I shall inform them in detail what should go into the system, prices, and the best places to install the various components in their home. Sensors Many different types of sensors could be used for various security and fire systems. There are sensors that detect movement, or a change in light, or temperature. Below is a list of some that could be used. Mercury Tilt Switch - This is placed inside a device, and if that device is moved or tilted in any way it causes a blob of mercury to complete a circuit by touching contacts. This is often used in vending machines, or machines that contain money or goods that might cause people to tilt the machine to attempt to get the goods out. In the Peterson's home this type of

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING (iii)Before the system can be installed and used by hatch end cars it is necessary to ensure that the system is perfect and suites their needs. This can be done through the use of various tests to the end system. The tests have been categorised in different sections. These are: * Normal data- this is data that is correct and no faults during data entry. For example, entering the correct date. * Extreme data- this is data that is also correct but tests the boundaries of tolerance. For example, entering an extremely long name. * Erroneous data- this is data that is wrong and does not comply with the validation rules. For example, entering the wrong county. There are various tests that can be carried out. These are: * Integration testing- this is testing more than one aspect of the system. For example, testing if the macro to delete records work. * Unit testing- this is when a particular aspect of the solution is tested. For example testing if the formula to charge a fine works. Testing the system: The whole system will be tested following the test plan, which uses the different types of tests to ensure that the system works as intended, allowing HECs to carry out their daily activities with no errors as the tests that were carried out were mainly aimed at satisfying the clients requirements. Evidence of the system being tested is shown
