Course Name-GAD Course Code: 22034 Classes: CM4I Div-A
CI405.2 Select form controls and its events to design GUI Application
CI405.4 Use Data Access controls to store data in database and retrieve it.
Proposing a methodology for developing a Library Management System (LMS) using GUI
Application Development with VB.NET (22034) involves outlining the steps and processes for
designing, implementing, and testing the system. Here's a proposed methodology:
1. Requirements Gathering:
•Identify and document the requirements of the Library Management System. This includes
understanding the needs of library staff and users, such as cataloging books, managing
memberships, issuing and returning books, generating reports, etc.
2. System Design:
•Design the system architecture, including the user interface (UI) layout, database schema, and
functionalities.
•Create wireframes or mockups to visualize the UI design and gather feedback from stakeholders.
•Define the data model and relationships for storing information about books, users, transactions,
etc.
•Determine the technologies and tools required for development, such as VB.NET for GUI
development and SQL Server for database management.
3. Implementation:
•Develop the Library Management System using VB.NET for the front-end GUI development.
•Create forms and controls for different modules of the system, such as book management, user
management, transaction processing, etc.
•Implement business logic to handle various operations, such as adding, updating, and deleting
books, managing user accounts, processing book transactions, etc.
•Integrate the front-end GUI with the backend database using ADO.NET or Entity Framework for
data access and manipulation.
4. Testing:
•Perform unit testing to validate individual components and functionalities of the system.
•Conduct integration testing to ensure that different modules of the system work together
seamlessly.
•Perform system testing to validate the overall behavior and performance of the Library
Management System.
•Gather feedback from users and stakeholders to identify any issues or areas for improvement.
5. Deployment:
•Deploy the Library Management System to the production environment, ensuring compatibility
with the target infrastructure and configurations.
•Provide user training and documentation to familiarize library staff with the system and its
features.
•Monitor the system post-deployment to ensure stability, performance, and security.
6. Maintenance and Support:
•Provide ongoing maintenance and support for the Library Management System, addressing any
bugs, issues, or enhancement requests.
•Regularly update the system to incorporate new features, improve performance, and address
security vulnerabilities.
•Gather feedback from users and stakeholders to continuously improve the system based on their
evolving needs.
