AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM USING SDLC:

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE:

A system development life cycle methodology is an

explicit breakdown of the work that is required to implement a new or
modified information system. It consists of five phases.

System development phases

SLDC Predictive Approach:

 Project planning – initiate, ensure feasibility, plan schedule, obtain

approval for project.
 Analysis – understand business needs and processing requirements.
 Design – define solution system based on requirements and
analysis decisions.
 Implementation – construct, test, train users, and install new
system.
 Support – keep system running and improve.

Activities of Each SDLC Phase:

  Predictive or adaptive approach use SDLC.
 Activities of each “phase” are similar.
 Phases are not always sequential.
 Phases can overlap.

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM:

We wish to obtain a computer application that will serve as our flight

reservation system. The application will be a multi-user system which allows
for any given flight to be overbooked by fifteen percent. This overbooking
policy is based on the assumption that at least fifteen percent of the total
number of passengers booked on a flight will cancel or not show up. Thus,
ideally every flight will carry the maximum number of passengers. In the event
that more passengers show up than there are seats available, passengers who do
not get boarding passes are compensated with a ten percent monetary refund
and rebooked on the next available flight.

Basic features of the application will include the ability for a booking agent
to perform the following:

Is easy to use.
Books passengers on flights
Gives passengers seat preferences when possible
Records any passengers special needs or requests
Displays information about flights, and passengers
Displays a seat layout map at appropriate times
Issues boarding passes
Has the ability to compensate passengers that were unable to fly on
their requested flight.
