Detailed Specification for The Retro Vinyl Shop Web Application

This is to be carried out as an individual assignment

The owner of a record company called The Retro Vinyl Shop has approached you. The company
sells a wide variety of vinyl records including music from the 70s, 80s and 90s and also some from
present day artists. The company would like you to set up a prototype online registration system for
prospective customers to register, view current record stock and enquire about the availability of
records. They would also like the admin staff to be able to login to the site to update and add new
record stock and artist details.

You should create a database to hold information about the artists, records, customers and stock.

The database should contain details about:

The artists: including the artist name
The records: including the artist, title, genre, year released and the number currently in stock
The registered customer: including their name and the enquiry details

Note that you should also use the aspNetDb database for the security and roles for the system and
you should extend this with the new database tables.


You are required to implement the following for the final product upload 17
th
August 2013:
1. You should extend the given ASPnetDB database to contain the data required for the
application. Add your tables and relationships to the ASPnetDB database so that you have
one final database. The database should contain relevant tables, attributes, relationships and
referential integrity. It will be used as the back end of your web database application.

(20 marks)

2. A web application which includes the following possible levels of security:

a. Security Level 1 is the basic area that all users can view without registering or
logging in. You should create the following lists to be displayed at this level:

i. A list of all records for an artist
ii. A list of all records released in a particular year
iii. A list of all records in the database of a particular music genre

(20 marks)

b. Security Level 2 is for people who have a customer account and can login to the
web site. Here you will need to set up the following functionality:
i. Create a form for prospective customers to create a login to the system
ii. Allow the users to amend their details once logged in.
iii. Create a page for the registered users to browse records and to enquire
whether a record is currently in stock

arranged in July 2014 with course coordinator)
2. A report (pdf document) (with table of contents, page header and page numbers) including
a list of any assumptions made
any validation constraints imposed
some annotated screen shots with brief running commentary
test data, test plan, test log
the ERDs of your database (Conceptual and Logical Models)
an evaluation of your system, with an explanation of why you created it to look the way it
does, and suggestions on how it could be improved or developed further.

3. Copies of all your web pages and your report, zipped together in one zip file, are to be
