2. Theoretical Background
Today in colleges student details are entered manually. The student details in separate
records are tedious task. Referring to all these records and updating is needed. There is a chance
for more manual errors.
Problems in existing system:
It have a lots of manual work (Manual system does not mean that we are working with
pen and paper, it also include working on spread sheets and other simple software's)
The system makes the overall project management much easier and flexible.
Various classes have been used to provide file upload and mail features.
There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project development is
under process.
It provides high level of security using different protocols like https etc.
3. Problem Definition
The problem is to provide the complete information about the college campus. In which the
college staff members, students and parents can access the information and will be familiar with
college campus. It will provide interactive environment for the staff, students and parents by
getting knowledge of student attendance, remarks, exams performances, grades, timetables,
notices etc.
After analyzing the requirements of the task to be performed, the next step is to analyze the
problem and understand its context. The first activity in the phase is studying the existing system
and other is to understand the requirements and domain of the new system. Both the activities are
equally important, but the first activity serves as a basis of giving the functional specifications
and then successful design of the proposed system. Understanding the properties and
requirements of a new system is more difficult and requires creative thinking and understanding
of existing running system is also difficult, improper understanding of present system can lead
diversion from solution.
development, but it was the first model to explain why the iteration models.
As originally envisioned, the iterations were typically 6 months to 2 years long. Each phase
starts with a design goal and ends with a client reviewing the progress thus far. Analysis and
engineering efforts are applied at each phase of the project, with an eye toward the end goal of
the project.
The new system requirements are defined in as much details as possible. This usually
involves interviewing a number of users representing all the external or internal users
and other aspects of the existing system.
A first prototype of the new system is constructed from the preliminary design. This
is usually a scaled-down system, and represents an approximation of the
characteristics of the final product.
At the customer option, the entire project can be aborted if the risk is deemed too
great.
miscalculation, or any other factor that could, in the customers judgment, result in a
less-than-satisfactory final product.
The existing prototype is evaluated in the same manner as was the previous prototype,
and if necessary, another prototype is developed from it according to the fourfold
procedure outlined above.
The preceding steps are iterated until the customer is satisfied that the refined
prototype represents the final product desired.
The final system is thoroughly evaluated and tested. Routine maintenance is carried
on a continuing basis to prevent large scale failures and to minimize down time

college.
5. SYSTEM PLANNING
Perform and evaluate feasibility studies like cost-benefit analysis, technical feasibility, time
feasibility and operational feasibility for the project. Project Scheduling should be made using
PERT charts.
Feasibility study is carried out t decide whether the proposed system is feasible for the
company. The feasibility study is to serve as a decision document it must answer three key
questions:
1. Is there a new and better way to do the job that will benefit the user?
2. What are the cost and the savings of the alternative(s)?
3. What is recommended?
Technical feasibility:
Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system i.e. Hardware, Software etc.

We have used Waterfall Model as Software Engineering life Cycle Process. It is the
simplest; oldest and most widely used process model for software development .This model
acquires its name from the fact that classic software life cycle is represented as a sequence of
descending steps.
This process is also known as feasibility study. In this phase, the development team studied
the site requirement. They investigate the need for possible dynamic representation of the site
and increase security features. By the end of feasibility study, the team furnishes a document that
holds the different specific recommendations for the candidate system. It also includes personnel
assignments, costs, project schedules, target dates etc. the requirement gathering process is
intensified and focused specially on software. The essential purpose of this phase is to find the
need and to define the problem that needs to be solved. During this phase following facts were
gathered.
Determined the user need
Identified the facts
Establish the goals and objective for the proposed system
Feasibility for the new system
6.3 Testing:
Once the code is generated, the website testing begins. Different testing methodologies are
done to unravel the bugs that were committed during the previous phases. Different testing
methodologies are used:
Acceptance testing
White Box Testing
Generally the SRS is a document that completely describes what the proposed software should
do. The basic goal of software requirement phase is to produce the SRS that describe the
complete behavior of the proposed software.
Nature Of The SRS
8.System Design
Design Principles
There are certain designing principle which has to be kept in mind while coding phase, these
principle are:
1. Modularity: The system will have a modular approach so that finding of error, adding
of some modules if in case future needs of the system changes. The basic purpose is to
make system adaptive in nature and increase cohesion rather than coupling in between
the modules so that one module does not affect the other.
2. Reliability: The system should be reliable enough that it produces right output; worng
input must be dealt with proper messages, and if one part hampers it should not affect the
working of whole system.
3. Feasibility: The system should be feasible in all the aspect such as technical, economic,
time, legal etc. It should be with in the norms and condition of the organization.
Feasibility study should be the first and foremost step that should be taken care of.
4. User-Friendly: The system should be so user friendly so that even a normal computer
literate can handle and tackle the system very easily.
5. Top-Down Approach: The system is using a top down approach that means firstly all
the modules will be decided and then we will integrate the system.
Data flow diagrams are commonly used during problem analysis. Data flow diagram are quite
general and not limited to problem analysis for software requirement specification.
A DFD shows the flow of data through a system. It views a system a function that transforms the
inputs into desired outputs. Any complex system does not perform this transformation into a
single step and a data will typically undergo a series of transformation before it becomes an
output. The DFD aims to capture the transformations that take place within a system to the input
data sp that eventually the output data is produced.
The agent that performs the transformation of data from one state to another is called a process.
So a DFD shows the movement of data through the different transformations or processes in the
system. Named circles shown the processes and data named arrows entering or leaving the
bubbles represent flows
Process
Activity
The rectangle represents source/sinks and is a net originator or consumer of data. A source or
sink is typically outside the main system of study.
All external files are shown as a labeled straight line

The need for multiple data flows data by a process is represented the AND relationship. For
example, if there is a * between the two input data flows A and B for a process, it means that A
and B are needed for the process

10.System Testing
Software Testing
Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate
review of specification, design and coding. The purpose of product testing is to verify and
validate the various work products viz. units, integrated unit, final product to ensure that they
meet their respective requirements.
Testing Objective:1. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.
2. A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error.
3. a successful test is one that uncover an as yet undiscovered error.
Our objective is to design tests that systematically uncover different classes of error and do so
with a minimum amount of time and effort.
This process has two parts:1. Planning: - This involves writing an review unit, integration, functional, validation and
acceptance test plans.
2. Execution: - This involves executing these test plans, measuring, collecting data and
verifying it if it meets to quality criteria set for it.
The quality of a product or items can be achieved by ensuring that the products meets the
requirement by planning and conducting the following tests at various stages.
Various tests done are as follows:
Unit Tests at unit level, conducted by development team, to verify individual standalone
test.
Integration tests after two or more product units are integrated conducted by
development team, to test the interface between the integrated units.
Functional testing prior to release to validation manger, designed and conducted by the
team independent of designers and coders, to ensure the functionality provided against
the customer requirement specification.
Acceptance testing prior to the release to validation manager, conducted by the
development team, if any supplied by the customers.
Validation Testing prior to release to customer, conducted by the validation team to
validate the product against the customer requirement specifications and user
documentation
Test case design focuses on a set of techniques for the creation of test cases that meet overall
testing objective. In test case design phase, the engineer creates a series of test cases that are
intended to demolish the software that has been built.
Any software product can be tested in one of two ways:1. Knowing the specific function that a product has been designed to perform, tests can be
conducted that demonstrate each function is fully operational, at the same time searching
for errors in each function. This approach is known as black testing.
2. Knowing the internal working of a product, tests can be conducted to ensure hat internal
components have been adequately exercised, this approach is known as white box testing.
Black box testing is designed to uncover errors. They are used to demonstrate that software
functions are operational; that input is properly accepted and output correctly produced; and that
integrity of external information is maintained (e.g. data files.). A black box examines some
fundamental aspects of a system with little regard for the internal logical structure of the
software.
White box testing of software is predicated on close examination of procedural details. Providing
a test case that exercise specific sets of conditions and/ or loops test logical paths through the
software. The State of the program may be examined at various points to determine if the
expected or asserted status corresponding to actual status.
In may project , I had used black box testing because it will satisfy the requirement to test all the
functional requirement of the project it is used to uncover different classes of errors in the
following categories:1.

In verification and validation we are must concentrated with the correctness of the product the
terms verification and validation are often used interchangeably. However, they have meanings.
VERIFICATION
It is the process of determining whether or not the product of given phase of the software
Development fulfill the specifications established during the various phases. The verification
activities include proving testing and reviews
VALIDATION
It is the process if evaluating the software at the end of the software development to ensure
compliance with the software requirements. Testing is the common method of validation.
Together they are called V&V activities
In this program I have used various verification measures to prevent the wrong entries at various
inputs. These include various valid and range options at the various place.
