Store Traits/Survey Application
Store Traits and Traits Survey is an existing application written in VB, and we are re-writing it in
Java. A Store Trait is a characteristic by which an item or the different items sold in the Walmart
stores are grouped as and are identified-by. The business/ merchandising-managers use the Traits
system to keep track-of/stock the items in the different departments of a Walmart store. The
business creates an action called a Survey, listing all the traits that they want to be part of this
survey, a completion of a survey helps in making sure that at any time the different departments in
the stores/or-a-new-store have all the items that are needed to be made available for selling. The
application is developed using the J2EE technologies and the angular incorporating the MVC and
the other popular design patterns.
