CRUD Operations: Facilitates create, read, update, and delete operations for inventory items. Intuitive User Interface: Features a user-friendly graphical interface, making inventory management accessible and straightforward. Database Integration: Utilizes MySQL for secure and reliable data storage and management. Real-time Inventory Updates: Ensures inventory records are up-to-date, reflecting current stock levels and details. Modular Architecture: Supports easy maintenance and future expansion through a well-organized codebase. Design Principles and Patterns The development of this system is guided by the following design principles and patterns to ensure a high-quality, scalable, and maintainable software product:
Simplicity Aims for an intuitive and easy-to-navigate user interface, enabling users to perform tasks with minimal complexity.
Modularity Embraces a modular approach in design, separating the system into distinct layers (UI, business logic, data access) to simplify updates and maintenance.
DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) Focuses on maximizing code reuse to minimize redundancy, enhancing both efficiency and consistency across functionalities.
Encapsulation Employs encapsulation to protect object states and behaviors, exposing only what is necessary and improving security and usability.
Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) Adheres to SRP by ensuring each class and method performs a single function, which simplifies debugging and enhances code readability.
Singleton Pattern Utilizes the Singleton pattern for database connections, ensuring a single instance is used throughout the application, optimizing resources and maintaining consistent access.
Factory Method Implements the Factory Method pattern to abstract the instantiation process in object creation, allowing for flexibility and scalability in the application's evolution.
