 Chapter 3
SYSTEM DESIGN

3.1 Design Principles and Patterns

The architecture of the Cineplex, the application of design principles and patterns plays a
fundamental role in shaping a robust and efficient system. A key architectural pattern followed
is the Model-View-Controller (MVC), which divides the system into three distinct layers—
Model, View, and Controller. This separation promotes modularity, making it easier to manage
data, user interfaces, and business logic. The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) ensures
that each module and class within the system has a clearly defined role, fostering code
readability and ease of maintenance.
The system embraces the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle, reducing code duplication
by employing reusable components and functions. This approach enhances code
maintainability and minimizes the potential for errors. Responsive design principles are
integral, allowing the system to adapt seamlessly to various device types and screen sizes.
Middleware patterns, such as Redux Thunk for asynchronous actions and Next.js middleware
for server-side rendering, efficiently manage complex workflows.
The Decorator pattern is utilized to dynamically add behaviour and responsibilities to objects,
notably in the context of user authentication and authorization. This provides flexibility and
extensibility in implementing security features. Moreover, optimization patterns, including
caching, are employed to optimize system performance and reduce latency. Rigorous load
testing and profiling are conducted to identify and address performance bottlenecks, ensuring
the system's responsiveness and efficiency. These design principles and patterns collectively
contribute to a system that is maintainable, scalable, and well-equipped to meet evolving user
needs while facilitating ongoing development and enhancements.

3.2 User Experience (UX) Design

User experience (UX) design takes centre stage in the Cineplex, ensuring that every interaction
with the system is intuitive and enjoyable. The responsive design approach guarantees a

11
seamless experience across diverse devices, from desktops to smartphones. User interfaces are
thoughtfully crafted for intuitive navigation, making it effortless for users to explore movie
information, select seats, and complete bookings. The design prioritizes user-friendly
interactions, optimizing the booking process and profile management. By focusing on UX
design, the project aims to provide patrons with a visually pleasing, efficient, and satisfying
journey through the world of cinema, enhancing their overall satisfaction with the Cineplex
platform.

3.3 Performance Optimization

Performance optimization is a core concern in the Cineplex. Caching mechanisms and load
testing are employed to enhance system responsiveness. Caching strategically stores frequently
accessed data in memory, reducing the need for repeated data retrieval and boosting speed.
Rigorous load testing assesses the system's performance under heavy usage, identifying and
addressing potential bottlenecks. These optimization strategies ensure that the platform
delivers an efficient and seamless user experience, even during peak usage periods. By
prioritizing performance, the project guarantees that moviegoers can swiftly access
information, book seats, and enjoy a swift, hassle-free experience at the Cineplex.

3.4 Data Flow Diagram

The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) for the Cineplex illustrates the flow of data within the system.
It portrays how data moves from users' interactions, such as movie selection and seat booking,
to the backend processes, including payment handling and booking confirmation. The DFD
simplifies the understanding of data flow, aiding in the development and maintenance of an
efficient and user-friendly cinema platform.

The "Admin Dashboard Page" within the Cineplex Web-Based Project serves as a centralized
hub for system administrators and staff, providing a robust set of tools and functionalities to
effectively manage the platform. This dynamic dashboard empowers administrators with
diverse capabilities, including user management, movie oversight, showtime scheduling, and
booking administration.

Furthermore, the admin dashboard offers comprehensive insight into booking data, allowing
administrators to monitor user bookings, seat allocations, and revenue statistics. This data-
driven approach empowers cinema administrators to make informed decisions and optimize
the overall user experience within the Cineplex platform, ensuring efficient and effective
management of cinema operations.
