 2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system for the Theatre Ticket Reserving System (mini project) is designed to
automate and streamline the process of booking theatre tickets for users while simplifying
seat management for theatre administrators. It focuses on key functionalities like user
registration, login, seat selection, ticket reservation, and viewing booked tickets.

Key Features of the Proposed Mini Project:

1. User Registration and Login Module:
User Registration: New users will register with a unique username and password. The
system will ensure that no two users have the same username.
Login Functionality: Registered users can log in using their username and password. If
login credentials are incorrect, the system will display an error message.
2. Ticket Reservation Module:
Real-Time Seat Selection: Users will be able to see which seats are available (e.g., in a
seating chart) and select the seat they want to book.
Seat Booking Confirmation: Once a seat is selected, the system will check if the seat is available. If
available, the system will reserve it for the user and update the status of the seat to “booked.”

Prevent Double Bookings: The system will ensure that a seat cannot be booked by more than
one user at the same time.

3. View My Tickets Module:

Display User’s Booked Tickets: Users can view all the tickets they have reserved. The
system will display details like seat number and the show time.
Manage Bookings: While in the mini project, cancellations may not be included, a basic
system will allow users to see their booked seats and status for tracking.

Advantages of the Proposed System:

Automation: The system automates the entire booking process, reducing manual efforts and
errors.
User-Friendly: The intuitive design allows users to book tickets quickly and view their
booking history with ease.
Real-Time Seat Management: Users can see which seats are available and book them
instantly, preventing overbooking or double reservations.
Security: User credentials are protected with a basic authentication system, ensuring that
user data is secure.
Scalability: The mini project can be expanded in the future by adding features like payment
processing, show scheduling, and cancellation options.

2.Security Testing:
Assess the robustness of password hashing and storage mechanisms.
Test for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Ensure that sensitive data is transmitted securely using HTTPS.
Verify the effectiveness of account lockout mechanisms after multiple failed login attempts.

3. Email Verification Testing:

Confirm that the registration process sends a verification email to users.
Validate that the verification link works and activates the user account.
Test the recovery process for users who do not receive the verification email.

4.Usability Testing:
Evaluate the user interface for both registration and login forms for clarity and ease of use.
Ensure that error messages are user-friendly and provide guidance on how to resolve issues.

5.Performance Testing:
Assess the response time of the registration and login processes under normal and peak loads.
Test the system's behavior with multiple concurrent users attempting to register or log in.
