Purpose

An Agile System

In order to effectively plan the software development process and build a working software that is suited to the company, it is crucial to map out an overview of the software system. Building an agile system is crucial because it enables for adaptation through ongoing design enhancements to support business operations. An agile system is versatile and readily adjusts to an ever-growing business environment. Object-oriented design places a priority on intentionality in the development process by defining software objects and the functions of those objects in relation to the aim of the software. This is done by assigning functions and responsibilities for each software domain.

What Does The Software Do?

Search and Book Cruise Vacations

The selected system design involves a piece of software that handles reservations for passengers on a cruise line. Users of the tour operator booking system will be able to browse all of the alternatives for a cruise holiday, including dates of their choosing, pricing ranges, cruise line brands, locations, departure cities, and other options that the user may select from the filter option. The software's final users will be travelers or businesses who operate travel agencies.

What Does the System Need to be Successful?
‍
‍The cruise line management system needs to provide customers with the ability to register and login, create a username and password, and input their personal information, including their name, address, phone number, birthdate, and payment method. Customers should be able to filter cruise options and track costs associated with their booking, as well as view available dining and entertainment options. The system should also allow customers to share their itinerary and read reviews of cruise companies, and provide the option to change the software's language for international users.

It is important to consider the customer's needs, provide a user-friendly interface, and integrate with external vendor APIs for real-time and accurate information. 
> Scalability & Planning
The system should also be able to handle high volumes of concurrent users and provide various payment options. The software design must prioritize security and user data protection while also being simple to use for users of all technical skill levels. 

The use cases resulting from the analysis process will be used to design the system architecture and create class and sequence diagrams, which will identify the objects, classes, attributes, and methods necessary for the system's implementation. This will help define the interactions between the user interface and the system's back end, ultimately making the system simple and intuitive for users.
> Feasibility
Technical feasibility. The software will be simple to increase user-accessibility, secure, and able to handle high volumes of traffic during peak periods. It will also be compatible with different devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

‍Economic feasibility. The development of the cruise vacation booking software requires significant financial investment. This factor depends on the potential revenue generated by the software compared to the costs involved in developing and maintaining it. The costs to consider include software development, server hosting, and maintenance costs, marketing and advertising expenses, and personnel costs.

‍Legal feasibility. Developing a cruise vacation booking software requires adhering to various legal and regulatory requirements; these include data protection laws, consumer protection regulations, and payment processing laws. The software will also comply with industry standards and guidelines to ensure customer safety and satisfaction.

‍Operational feasibility. The operational feasibility refers to its ability to meet the company's objectives and goals. The software will be able to streamline the booking process, reduce operational costs, and improve customer satisfaction.

‍Market feasibility. The cruise vacation booking software should cater to the market demand for online booking services for cruise vacations. The software's market feasibility is determined by analyzing the target market, their preferences, and competition. The software should offer unique features and benefits that set it apart from competitors and attract customers.
