CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION


2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is partly manual and partly computerized. The computer is

used to prepare bills. The Microsoft-Word is used for typing works and

Microsoft-Excel is mostly used for calculations.

To search an order no in the file, it requires more clerical work. The

maintenance cost is high.

Few Drawbacks of Existing System:

The manual work is not user friendly.

It is highly complex to maintain.

Chances for the occurrences of the error are more.

Retrieving the record is more difficult and also consumes more time.

Results are not accurate.

Chances for frequent data loss.

Need For Computerization:

Computerization is a must for few of the following reasons.

To reduce the work hours.

To reduce the resources such as human ware, paper, etc

Neat and clear presentation.

2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM


The proposed system is developed in ASP.NET as front end tool, back end tool

as

SQL Server. The proposed system is developed with an idea of overcoming

the constraints of the existing system.

Advantages of system:

Graphical user interface.

Relational database management system (RDBMS).

Multithreading, Multitasking & Faster accessing.

More flexibility & Database is highly secured.

Access permission for different user levels.

Switching over to other application and modules is easy.

Object oriented programming concepts.

Portable & Less memory space.

Easy installation & User friendly.

Each entry is validated before moving to the tables.

More controls for convenient.


FEASIBILITY STUDY

It is both necessary and prudent to evaluate the feasibility of a project at

the earliest possible time. Months or years of effort, thousands and millions of dollars,

and untold professional embarrassment can be averted if an ill-conceived system is

recognized early in the definition phase.

Feasibility and risk analysis are related in many ways. If project risk is

great, the feasibility of producing quality software is reduced. During product

engineering, however, we concentrate our attention on four primary areas of interest.

Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility is the need of hardware and software, which are

needed to implement the proposed system in the organization. Technical requirements

are to be fulfilled to make the proposed system work. This should be necessarily

predetermined so as to make the system more competent.

Economical Feasibility

The Economical feasibility must satisfy the needs of the technical

feasibility and the operational feasibility. It involves the economic feasibility of

developing and implementing the proposed system.

Operational Feasibility

The proposed system should use the internet level then the different types

of end users are involved in the system, so it solves the user’s needs and the

organization needs. And it supports the all users environment.

3.3 SOFTWARE FEATURES


ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a new way to program dynamic and interactive Web applications.

ASP.NET is a compiled environment that makes extensive use of the Microsoft .NET

Framework, and the entire .NET platform is available to any ASP.NET application.

Core Concepts

ASP.NET is a new way to program dynamic and interactive Web applications.

There is more in it than just a few new features; it is much more than “ASP 4.0.”

ASP.NET is a new programming framework for Web applications. It is a compiled

.NET-based environment that makes extensive use of the .NET Framework.

Separate layout and business logic

To make a clean sweep, with ASP.NET you have the ability to completely

separate layout and business logic. This means that you can split all inline code from

the page and store both code and content in different files (with different file name

extensions). Now your designers can work with nearly pure HTML files, while the

programmers can implement the “working code.”

Use services provided by the .NET Framework

The .NET Framework provides class libraries that can be used by your

application. Some of the key classes help you with input/output, access to operating

system services, data access, or even debugging. We will go into more detail on some

of them in this module.

Code is compiled the first time a page is requested

When a page is requested for the first time, its code is compiled to classes

instead of being interpreted by a scripting engine. This compilation is done once, and

then the objects are kept in memory. Besides other advantages, this allows for strong

typing and performance optimizations.


.Advantages of ASP.NET

ASP.NET drastically reduces the amount of cod required to build large

applications.

ASP.NET makes development simpler and easier to maintain with an event-

driven, server-side programming model.

ASP.NET page are easy to write and maintain because the source code and

HTML are together.

The source code is executed on the server. The pages have lots of power and

flexibility by this approach.

The source code is compiled the first time the page is requested execution is

fast as the web server compiles the page the first time it is requested

Scripting Language: C#

C# is a modern object-oriented language that enables programmers to

quickly build wide range of applications for the new Microsoft.Net platform, which

provides tools and services that fully exploit both computing and communications.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Features in SQL Server 2000


Indexed views

INSTEAD OF and AFTER triggers

Cascading RI constraints

Indexed Views

Views are often used to simplify complex queries, and they can contain joins

and aggregate functions. However, in the past, queries against views were resolved to

queries against the underlying base tables, and any aggregates were recalculated each

time you ran a query against the view when creating an index on a view, the result set of

the view is stored and indexed in the database.

INSTEAD OF and AFTER Triggers

SQL Server 7.0 introduced the ability to define multiple AFTER triggers for the

same operation on a table. SQL Server 2000 extends this capability by providing the

ability to define which AFTER trigger fires first and which fires last.

SQL Server 2000 also introduces the ability to define INSTEAD OF triggers.

INSTEAD OF triggers can be specified on both tables and views. If an INSTEAD OF

trigger is defined on a table or view, the trigger will be executed in place of the data

modification action for which it is defined. The data modification is not executed unless

the SQL code to perform it is included in the trigger definition.

Text in Row Data

SQL Server 2000 provides a new text in row table option that allows small text

and image data values to be placed directly in the data row, instead of requiring a

separate data page. This can reduce the amount of space required to store small text and


image data values, as well as reduce the amount of I/O required to retrieve rows

containing small text and image data values.

Cascading RI Constraints

SQL Server 2000 provides the ability to specify the action to take when a

column referenced by a foreign key constraint is updated or deleted. You can still abort

the update or delete if related foreign key records exist by specifying the NO ACTION

option, or you can specify the new CASCADE option, which will cascade the update or

delete operation to the related foreign key records.


4. SYSTEM DESIGN

The system design produces the details that state hoe a system meets the

requirements identified during system analysis. The first step in system design is the

design of input and output.

4.1 INPUT DESIGN

Input design is a part of overall system design. The main objective during the

input design is given below:

To produce a cost-effective method of input.

To achieve the highest possible level of accuracy.

To ensure that the input is acceptable and understood by the user.

Input Stages

The main input stages can be listed below:

Client Details.

Customer Details.

Project Requirements.

Employee Details.

Input Types

It is necessary to determine the various types of inputs can be categorized as follows:

External inputs, which are prime inputs for the system.

Internal inputs, which are user communication with the system.

Operational, which are computer department’s communications to the system

Interactive, which are inputs entered during a dialogue.

Input Media


At this stage choice has to be made the input media. To conclusion about the input

media consideration has to be given to:

Type of output.

Flexibility of format.

Speed.

Accuracy.

Verification methods.

Rejection rates.

Ease of correction.

Storage and handling requirements.

Security

Easy to use.

Keeping in view the above description of the input types and input media, it can

be said that most of the inputs are of the form of internal and interactive. As input data

is to be the directly keyed in by the user, the keyboard can be considered to the most

suitable input device.

Data Validation

Procedures are designed to detect error in data at a lower level of detail.

Data validations have been included in the system in almost every area where there is a

possibility for the user to commit errors. The system will not accept invalid data.

Whenever an invalid data is keyed in, the system immediately prompts the system will

accept the data only if the data is correct.Validataions have been included where

necessary.

The system is designed to be a user friendly one. In other words the system

has been designed to communicate effectively with the user. The system has been

designed with pop up menus.

Performance Requirement

Performance is measured in terms of report generation weekly and

monthly. Requirement specification is play important parts in the analysis of the

system. Once the requirement specifications are properly given, it is possible to design


the system, which will fit into the required environment. It rests largely in the part of

the user existing system. This is because the requirements have to be known during the

initial stages so that the system can be designed according to those requirements. It is

very difficult to change the system once it has been designed and on the other hand

designing a system, which does not cater to the requirements of the user, is of no use.

Stage as given below:

The system is able to interface with the existing system.

The system is to be accurate.

The system to be better than the existing system

The existing system is completely dependent on the staff to perform all duties.

4.2 OUTPUT DESIGN

Output Definition

The output should be defined in terms of the following points:

Type of the output

Content of the output

Format of the output


Location of the output

Frequency of the output

Volume of the output

Sequence of the output

It is not always desirable to print to display data as it is held on a computer. It should be

decided as which form of the output is the most suitable.

Output Media

In the next stage it is to be decided that which medium is the most appropriate for

the output. The main consideration when deciding about the output media are:

The need for hard copy

The response time required

The location of the users

The software and hardware available

The cost

Keeping in view the above description the project is to have outputs mainly

coming under the category of internal outputs. The main outputs desired according to

the requirement specification are:

The outputs were needed to be generated as hard copy and as well as

queries to be viewed on the screen

Keeping in view these outputs

The format for the output is taken form the outputs which are

currently being obtained after manual processing

FORM DESIGN

A form is a tool with a message and it is the physical carrier of the data. The

form that requires input from the user and which is filled by the user through keyboard

is known as “Action Form”.

The form displays the detailed information of the data is called as “Report

Forms”. The web controls such as textbox, radio button, list box, check box, submit,

and reset buttons are used to get the input from the user.

Design steps


Each and every form will be given clear title that allows users to identify the

forms. The fields in the form are clearly described to avoid confusions.

The fields in a form are legible and are provided with sufficient pace for

inserting data.

Forms re designed with an appropriate color and layout, which leads to easy

reading and understanding.

The fields in the form are arranged in a format that reflects a logical sequence.

The instructions are given at the right place to improve the efficiency of the

form.

Unnecessary data are eliminated from the form design that saves the time of

the user.

Reports are generated based on the requirements of the user.


4.4 DATABASE DESIGN

In a database environment, common data are available and used by several

users. Data can be shared across applications. A program requests data through database

management system and it is processed by the program independently.

Database Design Goals

Controlled redundancy:

Redundant data occupies memory and it wastes memory space. So the data

entered by the user is checked against the records in the database. The data are entered

into the database only if it doesn’t already exist.

Learning and use:

The database can be easily learned and used by a user because the relationship

between the tables is clearly defined.

Data Independence:

The data can be easily added and modified without rewriting application

programs.

More Information at Low Cost:

The data are maintained at low cost and it can be easily stored or modified.

Accuracy and Integrity:

The data in the database will be accurate and remain constant. The integrity

constraints such as primary key, Foreign key controls the inaccurate data and reject

them.

4.5 PROCEDURAL DESIGN


The procedural design is done after data design, architectural design and

input/output designs have been completed. The procedural specification should be

stated unambiguously.

Procedures specify what task must be performed in using the system and who is

responsible for carrying them out. The methods used for capturing transaction data and

entering it into the database is called “Entry Procedurs”.There are runtime procedure

which are steps and actions taken by the system operators and end users who are

interacting with the system to achieve the results.

Error handling proceeds takes care of the system when unexpected results

occur. Also there are necessary actions will be taken to protect the system and its

resources against damage.

5. SYSTEM TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 SYSTEM TESTING


Testing is the most important phases in the software development activity. In

software development life cycle (SDLC), the main aim of the testing process in the

quality, the developed software is tested against attaining the required functionality and

performance.

During the testing process the software is worked with some particular test case

and the output of the test cases are analyzed whether the software is working according

to the expectations or not.

The success of the testing process in determining the error is mostly depends

upon the test case criteria, for testing any software we need to have a description of the

expected behavior confirmed to the expected behavior.

LEVEL OF TESTING

Since the error in the software can be injured at any stage. So, we have carry

out the testing process at different levels during the development. The basic levels of

testing are

Unit Testing

Integration Testing

System Testing

Execution Testing

Security Testing

The Unit Testing is carried out on coding. Here different modules are tested

against the specification produced during design for the modules. In case of integration

testing different tested are combined into subsystem and tested in case of the System

testing the full software is tested and in the nest level of testing the system is tested with

user requirement document prepared.

UNIT TESTING

Unit testing mainly focused first in the smallest and low level modules,

proceeding one at a time. Bottom-up testing was performed on each module. As

developing a driver program, the test modules by developed or used. But for the


purpose of testing modules they were used as stubs, to print verification of the actions

performed.

After the lower level modules were tested, the modules that the next higher

level those make use of the lower modules were tested. Each module was tested against

required functionality and test cases were developed to test boundary values.

The unit testing has been tested with sample data and adequate corrections were

made as per the user requirement, such that login module was tested with user id and

code and appropriate error messages are provided for errors like data entry error, id,

error, etc.

INTEGRATION TESTING

Integration testing is a systematic technique for constructing the program

structure, while at the same time conducting tests to uncover error associated with

interfacing. As the system consists of the number the edges of the two modules. The

software tested under this incremental bottom-up approach.

Bottom-up approach integration strategy was implemented with the following steps.

Low modules were combined into clusters that perform specific software sub

function.

The clusters were tested.

SYSTEM TESTING

Series of different tests are used, whose primary purpose is to fully exercise the

computer-based system. It also tested to find discrepancies between the system and its

original objective, current specifications.

SECURITY TESTING


Any computer based system that manages sensitive information or causes

action that can improperly harm (or benefit) individuals is the target for improper or

illegal penetration. Penetration spans a board range of activities; hackers who penetrate

system for sport; disgruntled employee who attempt to penetrate for revenge; dishonest

individual who penetrate for illicit personnel gains.

Security testing to verify that protection mechanism built into a system will in

fact provide proper protection form improper penetration. During system testing, the

tester plays the role of the individual who desires to penetrate the sytem.Anything goes!

The tester may attempt to acquire password through external clerical means; may attack

the system with custom software designed to break down any defenses that have been

constructed may overwhelm the system thereby denying the service to other; may

purposely cause system errors.

ALPHA & BETA TESTING

The customer conducts the alpha testing at the developer’s site. The software is

used in the natural setting with the developer “looking over the developer” and

recording errors and usage problems. Alpha testing is conducted in controlled

environment.

The beta testing is conducted at one or more customer site by the end user of

the software. Unlike software testing the developer is generally not present. Therefore

beta test is live application of the software in an environment that cannot be controlled

by the developer.

5.2 TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation is used here to mean the process of converting a new or revised

system design into operational one; conversion is one aspect of implementation. The

other aspect is post implementation review and software and maintenance.

There are three types of implementation:

Implementation of computer system


Implementation of new computer system.

Implementation of a modified application

Implementation of computer system

It should be replace a manual system the problems encountered is converting files,

training users creating accurate files, and verifying printouts for integrity.

Implementation of new computer system

It’s should be replace an existing one this is usually a difficult conversion. If not

properly planned there can be many problems. Some large computer system has taken

even years to convert.

Implementation of a modified application

It’s should be replace an existing one using the same computer. This type of

conversion is relatively easy to handle, provided there are no major changes to the file

5.3 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

After the system has successfully implemented maintenance activity may

require continuous involvement of the developers. Provision must be made for

environmental changes, which may affect either the computer, or other parts of

computer based system. Such activity is normally called maintenance. It includes both

the improvement of system functions and the correction of faults that arise during the

operation of a system.


Maintenance activity may require the continuing involvement of a large

proportion of computer departmental resources. Maintenance works may arise due to

two reasons.

Error that creep up during normal running.

Request for changes by the service providers. As part of the normal

running of the system when errors are found.

This maintenance work will help to ensure that the system works smoothly as

predicted in the open environment. Whenever a maintenance work arises, the work has

to be properly carried out with proper documentation. This is to avoid any form of

changes in the structure of the system.

For every maintenance work an amendment notification is to be issued. This

notification will have the required changes and also authenticated. On receipt of the

amendment notification the amendment log is prepared which records these courses of

action that has been planned to be taken. It also records the estimated and the actual

completion of each of the activities.

5.4 USER TRAINING

To achieve the objectives and benefits expected from computer based system, it

is essential for the people who will be involved to be confident of their role in the new

system. As systems become more complex, the need for education and training is more

and more important. Education is complementary to training. It brings life to formal

training by explaining the background to the resources for them.

Education involves creating the right atmosphere for a motivating user staff.

Education sections should encourage participation from all staff with protection for


individuals for group criticism. Education should start will before any development

work to enable users to maintain or to regain the ability to participate in the

development of their system.

Education information can make training more interesting and more

understandable. The aim should always be to make individual feel that they can still

make all important contributions, to explain how they participate in making system

changes, and to show that the computer and computer staff do not operate in isolation,

but are of the same organization.

8. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

The principal intention of this project is to develop a n application

integrating all the activities carried out by various systems in the course of the

developing projects. This objective has been achieved with full contentment goal, but

the next step of the Concurrent Version Schema would be appending more and more

aspects to make it impressive.


The features that would be incorporated into Concurrent Version Schema may be:

Generation of custom reports in accordance with specific needs of the users.

Creation and management of discussion forums for each project teams.

Graphical or pictorial representations to view the status of projects.

Tracking the workload of team members.

A more sophisticated document management system.

The above mentioned enhancements are likely to happen in the near

future. The system can be easily upgraded to hold these features.
