Extract of note from Samuel
The company intends to keep track of the book stock by assigning each book a number that
will uniquely identify it. Apart from this, the book title, book type, genre, file size, year of
release, synopsis, and the rental price of the book are also expected to be recorded in the
new system.
The customers that expect to rent books from ‘Home Bookstore’, will be first required to register
themselves with the store to become members. They will be able to do this easily by providing
their personal details such as their first name, last name, email address, telephone number,
address and date of birth. They will also be required to pick a username and a password for
login purposes. The username will need to be an email address. The password will need to
consist of eight characters that include an upper-case letter, lowercase letters, at least one
number and one symbol
