milestone are fixed and the
system is ready for the final
review.
to start working on a test-plan for
the entire system. This test-plan
can be updated as and when new
scenarios come to mind.
Another 2 weeks should be there
to handle any issues found during
testing of the system. After that,
the final demo can be arranged.
During the final review of the
project, it should be checked that
all the requirements specified
during milestone number 1 are
fulfilled

12. The following steps will be helpful to start off the project:
 Study and be comfortable with technologies such as: ASP.Net with C#, and SQL Server.
 Gather some knowledge of product hierarchies and maintenance before starting the design.
 Create a user database with different access levels.
 Start with creating the login screen.
 Create menus for navigation and group the functionalities as sub menus.
 Create the help-pages of the application in the form of FAQ. This will helps user.
