Critical success factors:
Multiple customers can view our product list at once.
Customers have the option to rate/review our products under the product description after purchasing.
More than one customer rating/review can be posted per item.

Once the customer has selected the products, they choose to checkout as an existing customer or as a guest.
A guest goes straight to the online checkout. Existing customers will be prompted for UserID and Password, which will then be verified. If this is a new user, they can create their own UserID and Password, which will also be confirmed. Finally proceed to online checkout.

5. Choose: Planter Options
Systems Development Life Cycle
First the customer clicks on the “Custom Shop” page on our website. The first step is to choose a Planter. From there, it will be added to the cart. Step 2 will be to choose the flowers for the planter. There is a decision as to whether the right number of flowers are chosen. If there are too many flowers for the planter size, an error message occurs and the user is prompted to choose the correct number of flowers. If the right number of flowers are chosen, they will be added to the cart. From there, the customer can proceed to checkout

For the testing phase of the SDLC, we tested four different processes of our business.
TEST 1: selecting too many flowers when customizing a planter. We expected an error message to result, and send the customer back to the page to choose flowers again. The actual result was that they system allowed the purchase to continue. RESULT: FAIL.
TEST 2: was to purchase products and checkout as a guest. We expected the system to allow the purchase, without requiring the customer to create an online account. This test worked as expected. RESULT: PASS.
TEST 3: create a new account with a username that already exists in our system. We expected the system to return an error message, and force the customer to create a different username. The test worked as expected. RESULT: PASS.
TEST 4: we created ten sample transactions with a combination of different products and services for our sales people to enter. We expected no errors, and the test passed.

Documentation on creating invoices and other front-end duties within QuickBooks will be given to all sales people.
Management will be given documentation regarding the reporting features of QuickBooks, in addition to the sales documentation.
