Introduction
This project introduces a Cinema seat booking system. A Cinema seat booking system software project’s main aim is to provide a secure and easy way for customers to pre-book seats on-line for a forthcoming performance through a website. This project is developed in PHP language. This Cinema seat booking system should be able to manage all the reservation related functions such as; The user will be able to access the website, to browse throughout the website and discover the related information, to create an account, to login and see his profile, to select a date, a movie & a ShowTime – if available. If available the user will be able to reserve and seat in the aforementioned. The system should be able to reserve the action of the user, perform the appropriate action in the database and the user should receive a confirmation email with the booking reference and the relevant information for the booking.
Project Background
It will be a Cinema seat booking system, which it can be based on a business or technical need for any company. First the application will check the availability of the seats on a particular showing on a specified date of the event. If there are available the customer will reserve a specific seat of his own choice. The administrator should be able to enter any change related to the event information like the name, price, time and date of the tickets and more details. A customer will need to make an account and login in order to book a seat and the system should be able to reserve date, name of the event and the seat for a customer and be able to print the report like it should be able to generate showing name, date of booking, member name, contact details, age, total fare and a unique reservation number. Also the system should be able to cancel a booking and provide a printable receipt of the cancellation that will have total fare and the amount deducted.
Aim/Objectives/Deliverables
Aims: The system will be developed in two categories, which are the seat booking and seat cancelation.
Objectives:
• Create weekly blogs about what I have achieved during the week.
• To produce a Project contract.
• To produce an Ethics form.
• To conduct an in-depth investigation of the context and literature, and where appropriate, other similar products
• To perform investigation of the stages of the life cycle undertaken
• To perform an in-depth investigation on verification and validation were needed.
• To produce an ER model diagram.
• To develop a Project plan.
• To develop a visually nice looking template using the HCI report.
• To develop a prototype of PHP and HTML code.
• To document all code developed.
• To design and execute a suitable test plan.
• Produce a final report
• Finished software product.
Deliverables:
(First delivery)
• Project contract
• Ethical review form
• Project Plan
• Literature review
• Entity Relationship diagram
• Functional and non functional requirements specification
• Test Plan
• Prototype
(Final delivery)
• Final report that will contain a clear description of the stages of the life cycle undertaken; This includes critical evaluation, conclusions and recommendations
• All verification and validation documentation were applied will be described in detail and included in the Final report
• Appendices e.g. fully cited research, further design documentation, test logs, surveys, interviews
• Software product (Cinema seat booking system)

Risk Analysis
One main risk that a PHP site will probably have is security. PHP is risk-full in hacking as everyone can have access from any location so I should implement measures in order to develop a safer website. Measures such as using a PHP Framework will be used, as frameworks are well known for their security built in structure making it easier to avoid security gaps during the development of the system. Failure to identify complex functionalities and time required to develop those functionalities may lead to a delay and eventually the project deadline will not be met. Risks associated with resources, mainly human resources like if a tester is leaving in the middle of the testing then this will have a huge impact as the system will not be tested thoroughly identifying any bugs that will occur. To avoid the aforementioned situation a consent form will be given to the tester to read and sign, which will determines how his data will be used, and what are his rights. An extensive research will be conducted on PHP patterns identifying how the complex functionalities of the system could be build. Hopefully with my tasks I will not get carried out away with one and neglect the rest, as they have the same importance equally. A great way to help me with this is to have a timetable where I have my hours spend on each task and what is to follow. There may be times where I do not understand or recognize a concept and my supervisor is not available, therefore I will try to figure the solution or theory out myself by using things such as the Internet or books to assist me. The occurrence of hardware problem can happen while a lot of software is being used to develop a system, laptop can crash. The virus can also be responsible for laptop crash. Things such as software bugs and glitches could also cause me to lose my work. To conquer this problem one solution is making regular backup copies of my software product and work, stopping any main concerns if this event occurs. The code also will always be saved on another device like (flash drive or personal internet cloud services). So if the computer crashed then the old code can be retrieved without losing anything.
Schedule of Activities
Having defined the tasks to be undertaken in the list of objectives, I will need to prepare a Project Plan to show how I intend to carry them out. This will be achieved by using a Gantt chart. The Gantt chart will include the tasks to be undertaken followed by the time needed to be completed.
