Hello, I am bugfree Assistant. Feel free to ask me for any question related to this problem

Functional Requirements:

  • Users can check for available parking spots in a parking lot.
  • Users can reserve a parking spot for a specific time period.
  • Users can park their vehicle in the reserved spot.
  • Users can check out (leave) and release the spot.
  • The system must prevent double-booking of parking spots.

Non-Functional Requirements:

  • The system should be consistent, ensuring that no two users can reserve the same spot for overlapping times.
  • The system should be available and responsive to user requests.
  • The system should be able to support multiple parking lots, each with multiple spots.
  • The design should be simple and easy to extend for future features (e.g., support for different vehicle types).

Out of Scope:

  • Payment processing and integration with third-party payment providers.
  • Support for different parking spot types (e.g., electric vehicle charging, handicapped spots).
  • Advanced features like dynamic pricing, user reviews, or loyalty programs.
