query handling system
DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT This project is be designed and developed to handle Frequently Asked Questions posted to various departments in a university. The University examination branch wants to maintain all the frequently asked questions in the database subject wise, to avail them to all the students whenever necessary. They will update the questions as and when required. The primary goal of the Query Handling Service is to provide an environment that is both convenient and efficient to use in retrieving and storing the information into database.. The database system must provide the safety to the information stored, despite system crashes or attempts of unauthorized access. If data are to be shared among several users, the system must avoid possible anomalous results. Existing System The existing system is a manual one. When the student wants to clear his query he personally contacts the concerned person in the university. The concerned person will clear his doubt. Disadvantages: • Difficulty in contacting the concerned person. • Difficult to handle more students for administrator. • Difficulty in maintaining frequently asked questions manually Proposed System The Query Handling Services is to replace the existing manual system with a software solution. The University examination branch wants to maintain all the frequently asked questions in the database subject wise, to avail them to all the students. And they will update the questions as and when required in online. The proposed system has one super user to control the data, appointing the administrators in each department. The administrator is responsible to answer all the questions posted by students. When the student post a question in certain department the respective administrator will answer the question and a copy of the answer will be sent to the student. Merits of This System • Faster processing when compared to existing one. • Maintaining frequently asked questions • Modifications of answers can be carried out immediately • Administrator can handle more number of students. • Easy maintenance of administrator details. Modules: • Super User • Administrator • Student Super User: super user to control the data, appointing the administrators in each department,appointing the administrator to a particular department for that he register the admin,adding a new departments like computer science, chemistry, physics, maths, etc..

Advantages:• Faster processing when compared to existing
one.• Easy in maintaining frequently asked questions.
Advantages Contd…
• Modifications of answers can be carried out immediately.
• Faculty can handle more number of students requests.
• Easy maintenance of faculty and student details.
Modules
The project contains three modules:• Super User• Administrator• Student
Super User
Super User performs the following functions:• Controls the data.• Registers the administrators and appoints
them in each department.• Add/delete departments like physics,
computer science, etc..• Adding the question with answers and
storing the data in database.
Administrator
• The student post a question in certain department and the respective administrator will answer the question and copy of the answer will be sent to the student.
• If there is any modification to be carried out in the answers administrator will modify the answers.
Student
• Student post a question in certain department.• Student check the answer for which he posted.• Student checks the answers for available
questions.
Feasiblility Study
• An important outcome of preliminary investigation is the determination that system required is feasible.
• Since data is voluminous and involves a lot of overhead.
• Therefore it is best activity for computerization.
• The proposed system is feasible in following aspects.
Technical Feasibility
The proposed system is technically feasiblesince the equipment,software technology and
available personal in the organization are well suitable for the proposed system.
Operational Feasibility
• The operational feasibilty system is measured by the usage of the system after implementation and resistance from the users.
• Hence it is encouraging to undertake a detailed system analysis.
Economical Feasibilty
• Since necessary hardware and software are available in the organization,there is no need to procure and install new hardware and software.
• Thus there is no need of extra personal on the proposed system.
• Hence the proposed system is economically feasible.

Testing Type Methods
Unit Testing:
• Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design that is the module.
• The unit test is normally white box testing oriented and steps can be conducted in parallel for multiple modules.
Integration Testing:
• The objective is to take unit tested methods and build a program structure that has been dictated by design. It is of two types
1.Top down Integration:
• It is an incremental approach for construction of program structure.
• Modules are integrated by moving downward through control hierarchy,beginning with the main control program
2.Bottom Up Integration:
• This method as the name sugggests,beginsconstruction and testing with atomic modules i.e., modules at the lowest leveling of program structure.
• The modules are integrated in bottom up manner.
Validation Testing
• Validation testing is the next stage which can be defined as successful when the software functions in the manner reasonably expected by the customer
System Testing:
• System testing is actually a series of different tests whose primary purpose is to fully exercise the computer-based system.
Recovery Testing:
• It is a system test that forces the system to fail in a variety of ways and verifies that the recovery is properly performed.
Security Testing:
• Attempts to verify the protection mechanisms built into the system.
Perfomance Testing:
• This method is designed to test runtime perfomance of software within the context of an integrated system.
