INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background History

The "Employee Attendance System Using QR Code" has been developed to override the
problems prevailing in the practicing manual system. This software is supported to eliminate and
in some cases reduce the hardships faced by this existing system. Moreover this system is
designed for the particular need of the company to carry out operations in a smooth and effective
manner.

1.2 Application

The application is reduced as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the data. It
also provides error message while entering invalid data. No formal knowledge is needed for
the user to use this system. Thus by this all it proves it is user-friendly. Employee Attendance
System Using QR Code , as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and fast
management system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities rather to
concentrate on the record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better utilization of
resources.

Every organization, whether big or small, has challenges to overcome and managing the
information of Attendance, Employee, Leave, Records, Holidays. Every Employee Attendance
System has different Employee needs, therefore we design exclusive employee management
systems that are adapted to your managerial requirements. This is designed to assist in strategic
planning, and will help you ensure that your organization is equipped with the right level of
information and details for your future goals. Also, for those busy executive who are always on
the go, our systems come with remote access features, which will allow you to manage your
workforce anytime, at all times. These systems will ultimately allow you to better manage
resources.

 1.3 Problem statement

The manual process of taking attendance is a time consuming and inefficient way. The project aims to
automate the process and give a user-friendly and more efficient way. Attendance Management
System is software developed for daily student attendance in schools, colleges and institutes. It
facilitates to access the attendance information of a particular employee in an organisation.
Development of a Smart Based Attendance System. Integrating Android device with QR code and
SQL to store attendance results. Analyzing the attendance on weekly and monthly basis.

1.4 Objective

The main objective of the Project on Employee Attendance System is to manage the details of
Employee, Attendance, Timings, Leave, Holidays. It manages all the information about Employee,
Records, Holidays, Employee. The project is totally built at administrative end and thus only the
administrator is guaranteed the access. The purpose of the project is to build an application program to
reduce the manual work for managing the Employee, Attendance, Records, Timings. It tracks all the
details about the Timings, Leave, Holidays.

1.5 Scope of the project

It may help collecting perfect management in details. In a very short time, the collection will be
obvious, simple and sensible. It will help a person to know the management of passed year perfectly
and vividly. It also helps in current all works relative to Employee Attendance System . It will be also
reduced the cost of collecting the management & collection procedure will go on smoothly.
Our project aims at Business process automation, i.e. we have tried to computerize various processes
of Employee Attendance System .

Project Category:

Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) : This is an RDBMS based project which is
currently using MySQL for all the transaction statements. MySQL is an opensource RDBMS System .

Brief Introduction about RDBMS :

A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is
based on the relational model as invented by E. F. Codd, of IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory. Many
popular databases currently in use are based on the relational database model. RDBMSs have become a
predominant choice for the storage of information in new databases used for financial records,
manufacturing and logistical information, personnel data, and much more since the 1980s. Relational
databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are
easier to understand and use. However, relational databases have been challenged by object databases,
which were introduced in an attempt to address the object-relational impedance mismatch in relational
database,XMLdatabases.

LITERATURE SURVEY

“ Gamassi, m., piuri, v., sana, d., scotti, f., scotti, "scalable distributed biometric systems-
advanced techniques for security and safety", ", instrumentation & measurement magazine,
ieee, on page(s): 21 - 28 volume: 9. ” There are many existing systems available in market for
authentication. In some organization biometric devices are used, since biometric is concern with
the measurement of unique human physiological or behavioral characteristics. The technology had
been used to verify the identity of user.

“ Fakhreddine Karray, Jamil Abou Saleh, Mo Nours Arab and Milad Alemzadeh, DzMulti
Modal Biometric Systems: A State of the Art Survey,dz Pattern Analysis and Machine
Intelligence Laboratory, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, CanadaR. Nicole, DzTitle of
paper with only first word capitalized,dz J. Name Stand. Abbrev., in press. ”Another option is
a facial recognition technique. Use of facial recognition technology is to monitor authenticated
user or employee. A neural network-based algorithm was implemented to carry out face detection
and Eigen face method to perform facial recognition. The experimental result demonstrates the
feasibility of user verification for high-level security information system. It is complicated process
as well as very expensive.

“Ching-yin Law, Simon so,dzQR Codes in Educationdz, Hong Kong Institute of Education,
HongKong.” As one more technique is available, manual registration of each and every employee.
It is very time consuming as well as hectic task to manage all this things. So to overcome this
problem we proposed a system which totally works on QR code based identity card.

“Kalyani Bhagwat, Priyanka Salunkhe, Shamal Bangar, DzEmployee Monitoring System

Using Android SmartPhone” In many institutions and organization the attendance is important.
The previous approach in which manually taking attendance and maintain its records was very
inconvenient task.

“Phanuphong Hathaiwichian, DzAndroid Application for Event Management and

Information Propagationdz, Mahidol University, Nakhonpathom, Thailand.” Another
Approach is Biometric device, using biometric device like fingerprint scanner, in which fingerprint
is capture by user interface, which is likely to be an optical, solid state or an ultrasound sensor.
Generally, there are two approaches for fingerprint verification system among them first one is

4
minutiae based technique, in which minutiae has represented by ending or termination. Another is
imaging based method or matching pattern, which take account of global feature of any fingerprint
image. This method is more useful than the first one because it solved some intractable problem of
method one.

“Ricciardi, S. , Santos-Boada, G. , Careglio, D. , Palmieri. ,DzEvaluating energy savings in

WOL-enabled networks of PCsdz, U.Industrial Electronics (ISIE), 2013 IEEE International
Symposium on Year: 2013.” After scanning the QR code based identity card with second scanner
employee attendance will be updated in database, display name of employee who are currently
absent in the absent employee list and employee's personal computer will be started with the help
of Wake on LAN (WOL).

“Yilmaz, Y.S., Aydin, B.I., DzGoogle cloud messaging (GCM): An evaluationdz

Communications” WOL has enabled computers essentially wait for a Dzmagic packetdz to arrive
that includes the NIC’s MAC address in it. These magic packet are sent out by professional
software made for any platform, but can also be sent by routers and internet-based websites.

“Popa, M., Slavici, T., DzEmbedded server with Wake on LAN[ function” T.EUROCON
2009, EUROCON '09. IEEE Year: 2009” Wake-on-LAN is an industry standard protocol for
waking computers up from a very low power mode remotely. The definition of low power mode
has changed a bit over time, but we can take it to mean while the computer has Dzoffdz and has
access to a power source. The protocol also allows for a supplementary Wake-onWireless-LAN
ability as well. WOL has depends on two things: motherboard and network card. Motherboard
must be hooked up to an ATX-compatible power supply it has most computers in the past decade.
Ethernet or wireless card must also support this functionality.

“Fadi Masalha, Nael Hirzallah, DzA Student Attendance System Using QR Codedz, Applied
Science University” Various parameters of QR Code are as follows: Received data parameters,
size parameters, char setsource parameters, char set-target parameters, bgcolor parameters, color
parameters, margin parameters, zone parameters, format parameters. In data parameters minimal
char count, maximal char count, best practice and the size parameters contain the format of QR
code, maximal and minimal size of QR code.

METHODOLOGY

We have used Iterative and Incremental Development model (IID) for our project development. This
development approach is also referred to as Iterative Waterfall Development approach. Iterative and
Incremental Development is a software development process developed in response to the more
traditional waterfall model. This model is designed to take care of such big project. The large and
complicate project chiefly demand better development and testing procedure. The waterfall model is
well known for its repeated testing process. Hence I choose the waterfall model for developing my
software.

Figure 3.1 Waterfall Model

Some advantages of waterfall model:

• Simple and easy to understand and use.
• Easy to manage due to the rigidity of the model.
• Phases are processed and completed one at a time
• Works well for smaller projects where requirements are very well understood

3.2.5 Design Constraints

The Employee Attendance Management System shall be a stand-alone system

running in a Windows environment. The system shall be developed using c#, html,
css, bootstrap, JQuery, Ajax, Razor syntax, and an Access or MS-SQL database.

9
3.2.6 Software system requirements:

OS: Windows 10, Windows7, Linux

Disk Storage: 20 GB
Internet: Internet connection required with 1mbps.

3.3 Database design

Database design is the process of producing a detailed data model of database. This data model
contains all the need logical and physical design choices and physical storage parameters needed
to generate a design in a data definition language, which can then be used to create a database. A
fully attributed data model contains detailed attributes for each entity. The term database design
can be used to describe many different part of the design of an overall database system.
Principally, and most correctly, it can be thought of as the logical design of the base data structure
used to store the data. In the relational model these are the tables and views. In an object database
the entities and relationships map directly to object classes and named relationships. However,
the term database design could also be used to apply to the overall process of designing, not just
the base data structure, but also the forms and queries used as part of the overall database
application within the database management system.

The steps in the software testing:

• Preparation of the test cases.

• Preparation of the possible test data with all the validation checks.
• Complete code review of the module. d. Actual testing done manually.
• Modifications done for the errors found during testing.
• Prepared the test result scripts.

The unit testing done included the testing of the following items:

• Functionality of the entire module/forms.

• Validations for user input.
• Checking of the Coding standards to be maintained during coding.
• Testing the module with all the possible test data.
• Testing of the functionality involving all type of calculations etc.
• Commenting standard in the source files.
After completing the Unit testing of all the modules, the whole system is integrated with all its
dependencies in that module. While System Integration, We integrated the modules one by one and
tested the system at each step. This helped in reduction of errors at the time of the system testing.

The steps involved during System testing are as follows:

• Integration of all the modules/forms in the system.

• Preparation of the test cases.
• Preparation of the possible test data with all the validation checks.
• Actual testing done manually.
• Recording of all the reproduced errors.
• Modifications done for the errors found during testing.
• Prepared the test result scripts after rectification of the errors.

The System Testing done included the testing of the following items:

• Functionality of the entire system as a whole.

• User Interface of the system.
• Testing the dependent modules together with all the possible test data scripts.
• Verification and Validation testing.
• Testing the reports with all its functionality.
After the completion of system testing, the next following phase was the Acceptance Testing. Clients at
their end did this and accepted the system with appreciation. Thus, we reached the final phase of the
project delivery.

There are other six tests, which fall under special category:

• Peak Load Test: It determines whether the system will handle the volume of activities that occur
when the system is at the peak of its processing demand. For example, test the system by
activating all terminals at the same time.
• Storage Testing: It determines the capacity of the system to store transaction data on a disk or in
14
 other files.
• Performance Time Testing: it determines the length of time system used by the system to process
transaction data. This test is conducted prior to implementation to determine how long it takes to
get a response to an inquiry, make a backup copy of a file, or send a transmission and get a
response.
• Recovery Testing: This testing determines the ability of user to recover data or re-start system
after failure. For example, load backup copy of data and resume processing without data or
integrity loss.
• Procedure Testing: It determines the clarity of documentation on operation and uses of system by
having users do exactly what manuals request. For example, powering down system at the end of
week or responding to paper-out light on printer.
• Human Factors Testing: It determines how users will use the system when processing data or
preparing reports.

CONCLUSION

6.1 Summary

Our project EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is only a

humble venture to satisfy the needs to manage their project work. Several user friendly
coding have also adopted. This package shall prove to be a powerful package in satisfying all
the requirements of the school. The objective of software planning is to provide a frame work
that enables the manger to make reasonable estimates made within a limited time frame at the
beginning of the software project and should be updated regularly as the project progresses.

6.2 Recommendations for future project

In a nutshell, it can be summarized that the future scope of the project circles
around maintaining information regarding:
• We can add printer in future.
• We can give more advance software for Employee Attendance System Using
QR Code including more facilities
• We will host the platform on online servers to make it accessible worldwide
• Integrate multiple load balancers to distribute the loads of the system
• Create the master and slave database structure to reduce the overload of the
database queries
• Implement the backup mechanism for taking backup of codebase and
database on regular basis on different servers
The above mentioned points are the enhancements which can be done to increase
the applicability and usage of this project. Here we can maintain the records of Employee and
Attendance. Also, as it can be seen that now-a-days the players are versatile, i.e. so there is a
scope for introducing a method to maintain the Employee Attendance System Using QR
Code. Enhancements can be done to maintain all the Employee, Attendance, Timings, Leave,
Holidays. We have left all the options open so that if there is any other future requirement in
the system by the user for the enhancement of the system then it is possible to implement
them.In the last we would like to thanks all the persons involved in the development of the
20
system directly or indirectly. We hope that the project will serve its purpose for which it is
develop there by underlining success of process.
