DEVELOPMENT TOOLS USED
In the development of this project we have used MS-Access as the back end and developer 2000 forms 6.0 as the front end. Description of the both back end and front end is given as follows.
BACK END: MS Access
INTRODUCTION TO MS ACCESS
Microsoft (MS) Access is a relationship database management system (RDBMS) used to store and manipulate large collection of information of any kind. Here RDBMS refers to the organization of the data in a series and columns is such a manner that any specific piece of information is available with the click of the mouse and a few key strokes, MS Access has tools which are easy to use and provide a powerful development environment, making it an appropriate choice for novices as well as professional.
For e.g Access can be used to enter and maintain student awards, inventory records of a warehouse, telephone numbers. Once a record is stored, any type of queries can be asked, reports can be created and type entry forms can be designed. At the advanced level Access can be used for developing custom database applications by employing Access basic and a distribution kit for compiling application.
HARDWARW/SOFTWARE ARE REQIREMENTS OF ACCESS
Access is a window 98/2KXP based program so Microsoft window 945/2K/XP
should be installed on target computer. A computer may have 80386,80846 or PENTIUM based processor with a minimum 8MB of RAM;VGA Graphics display and a mouse.
COMPONENTS OF ACCESS
1. Database window: Here all objects of a database are stored in a stored in a single file having extension MDB. The objects are managed through the database window as shown in figure.
2. Database and Tables: Database is a collection of information retained in the form of tables. Table of rows and columns. Each table stores information about one entity such as account no, customer name, phone no
3. Each row in the table represents a single record of an entity. Each column contains discrete element of information called a field. A field can be a customer name and phone no.. To illustrate the concept of a table, record, field is used which uses different tables to stores:
· Student table(roll no, name, father’s name, class of students)
FRONT END: JAVA J2SDK1.4
INTRODUCTION OF JAVA
Java is a general purpose, object oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems of USA in 1991.Originally called OAK by JAMES GOSTLING, one of the inventors of the language, and java was designed for development of software . The goal had a strong impact on the development team to make the language simple, portable and highly reliable.
Features of java
· Compiled and interpreted
· Platform independent and portable
· Object oriented
· Robust and secure
· Familiar, simple and small
· Multithreaded and interactive
· High performance
· Dynamic and extensible
Ø Compiled and interpreted:- java combines both these approaches that are 3 compiled and interpreted. First, java compiler translates source code into byte code instructions. Byte codes are not machine instructions and java interpreter generates machine code that can be directly executed by the machine that is running the java program. We can thus; say that java is both a compiled and interpreted language.
Ø Platform independent and portable:-The most significant contribution of java over other language is its portability. Java programs can be easily moved from one system to another, anywhere and anytime. Java ensures portability in two ways. First, java complier generates byte code instruction that can be implemented in any machine. Secondly, the sizes of the permitted data types are machine independent.
Ø Object oriented: - java is a true object oriented language. Almost everything in java is an object. All program codes and data resides within objects and classes. Java comes with an extensive set of classes, arrange in packages that we can use in our program by inheritance. The object model in java is simple and easy to extend.
Ø Robust and secure:-java is a robust language. It provides many safeguards to ensure reliable code. It has strict compile time and run time checking for data types. Security becomes an important issue for a language that is used for programming on internet.
Ø Familiar, simple and small:- java is a simple and small language. Many feature of c and c++ that are either redundant or sources of unreliable code are not part of java. Familiarity is another striking feature of java. To make the language look familiar to the existing programmers, it was modeled on c and c++ languages. Java uses many construct of c and c++ and therefore, java code look like c++ code
Ø Multithreaded and interactive:- Multithreading means handling multiple tasks simultaneously. Java supports multithreaded programs. This means that we need not wait for the application to finish one task before beginning other. This feature greatly improves the interactive performance of the graphical application.
Ø High performance:- Java performance is impressive for an interpreted language mainly due to the main use of intermediate byte code. According to SUN, java speed is comparable to the native c/c++. Java architecture is also designed to reduce overheads during runtime. Further the incorporation of multithreading enhances the overall execution speed of java programs.
Ø Dynamic and extensible: - Java is a dynamic language. Java is capable of dynamically linking in new class libraries, methods, objects. Java can also determine the type of the class through a query making it possible to either dynamically link or abort the program, depending on the response.
NTRODUCTION TO JDBC
JDBC stands for java database connectivity. It was developed by java soft and is part of java enterprise API.JDBC is first standardized API that allows the user to develop database front ends without continuously rewriting their code. JDBC provides ability to create robust platform independent applications and web based applets, which can access any database through a DBMS independent mechanism.
How JDBC works
A set of JDBC object and method , defined in JDBC are used to interact with underlying database .At beginning of process ,a java program opens a connection to database .Then , it creates statement object passes sequel statement to underlying DBMS through statement object and retrieves the result and information about result set.
JDBC-ODBC CONNECTIVITY STEPS
· Locating an appropriate database driver.
Locating DBMS on hard disk
· Establishing a connection.
· Creating and firing SQL queries against database.
· Creating record set objects.
· Terminate the connection.
JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE (JVM)
All language compilers translate source code into machine code for specific computers. Java compiler also does the same thing. Then, how does java achieve neutrality? The answer is that the java compiler produce an intermediate code known as byte code for a machine that does not exist only inside the computer memory. It is simulated computer within the computer and does all major function of a real computer.
This figure shows the process of compiling a java program into byte code which is also referred to as virtual machine code.
Process of complication
The virtual machine code is not machine specific. The machine specific code (known as machine code) is generated by the java interpreter by acting as an intermediatiary between the virtual machine the real machine as shown in figure.
Process of converting byte code to machiene code
This figure illustrates how java works on a typical computer. The java object framework acts as the intermediary between the user programs and the virtual machine which is turn acts as the intermediary between the operating system and java object framework
Layers of interactions of java prog.
JAVA API PACKAGE
Java API provides a large number of classes grouped into different packages according to functionality. Most of the time we use the package available with the java API. This figure shows the functional break down of package that is frequently used in the programs.
Frequently used API packages
· Language Support package: A collection of classes and method required for implementing basis feature of java

FEASIBILITY STUDY
An initial investigation culminates in a proposal that determines whether an alternative system is feasible and if the proposal initiates Feasibility Study. Basically a Feasibility Study is prepared to present an in depth techno-commercial analysis
Economic Feasibility
Economic Analysis is the most frequent used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a project. It is procedure to determine the benefits and the saving that are expected from a project and compare with it cost.
Our project is economically feasible due to certain reasons.
· It is cost effective and will maximize the returns.
· Cost of staff cut off
Technical feasibility
Technical feasibility Centers on the existing system and to what extent it can support the proposal addition the hardware and are technically viable.
Our project is technically or operationally feasible due to certain factors:
· As the system is used friendly though it is likely approved by users showing no resistance what so user and if the user wants more facilities then that can be provided to him.
· After the system is implemented the user will need no changes as the system is developed by keeping the user requirement in mind.
- System analysis (DFD and Flow Chart)
SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is the process of developing specifications for a candidate system that meet the criteria established in the system analysis. Major step in system design is the preparation of the input forms and the output reports in a form applicable to the user.
The main objective of the system design is to make the system user friendly. System design involves various stages as:
1. Data Entry
2. Data Correction
3. Data Deletion
4. Processing
5. Sorting and Indexing
6. Report Generation
System design is the creative act of invention, developing new inputs, a database, offline files, procedures and output for processing business to meet an organization objective. System design builds information gathered during the system analysis
Characteristics Of A Well Defined System
In design an efficient and effective system is of great importance to consider the human factor and equipment that these will require to use. System analyst must evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the personal and corresponding factors of the equipment itself.
The characteristics associated with effective system operations are:
I. Accessibility
II. Decision Making Ability
III.Economy
IV.Flexibility
V. Reliability
VI. Simplicity
Success is a new system pivots on its acceptance or non-acceptance by the organization

TESTING PHASE
The basic goal of the software development process is to produce software that has no errors or very few errors. In an effort to detect errors soon after they are introduced, each phase ends with verification activity such as a review.
As testing is the last phase before the final software is delivered, it has the enormous responsibility of detecting any type of error that may in the software. A software typically undergoes changes even after it has been delivered. And to validate that a change has not affected some old functionality of software regression testing is performed
Levels Of Testing:
The basic levels of testing are unit testing, integration testing and system and acceptance testing. These different levels of testing attempt to detect different types of faults.
Levels of testing
Code/Unit Testing:
Code testing and implementation is a critical process that can even consume more than sixty percent of the development time.
Testing:
The system development life cycle involves the phases of testing and debugging after the requirement analysis, designing and coding. The project in question was tested , debugged and implemented successfully.
Two strategies of software testing adopted for the new system are as follows:
1. Code testing
2. Specification testing
Code testing:
Code testing was carried out to see the correctness of the logic involved and the correctness of the modules. Tests were conducted based upon sample and live data as well. All the modules are checked separately for assuming correctness and accuracy in all the calculations.
Specification testing:
It examines the specification stating about what program should do and how it performs under various conditions. This testing strategy is better strategy since it focuses on the way the software is expected to work.
Unit Testing:
During the phase of unit testing different constituent modules were testing against the specifications produced during the design for the modules. Unit testing is essentially for the verification of the code produced during the coding the phase, and goal is to test the internal logic of the modules. The modules once tested were then considered for integration and use by others.
1.White Box Testing Done
During this phase of the testing phase SDLC, server developed was tested while considering a valid value corresponding to each of variable defined and corresponding to each function defined. During this phase values corresponding to each variable viz. URL filtering, word filtering and scheduling was done and desired results were obtained.
2.Black Box Testing Done
This phase of testing deals with input/output testing. Black box testing was performed on the software developed, corresponding to valid inputs provided desired outputs were obtained.
Integration Testing:
The next level testing that was performed is often referred to as integration testing. During this phase many unit tested modules were combined into subsystems, which were then tested. The goal here was to see if modules can be integrated properly. Here the emphasis was on testing interfaces between different constituent modules of system.
Functionality Testing:
Here the entire software system was tested. The reference document for this process is the requirements document, and the goal was to see if software solution meets its requirements.
This level of testing is essentially a validation exercise, and in many situation it is the only validation activity.
Stress Testing:
Proxy server developed for the specified purpose was testing under heavy load, i.e. a large no. of clients were made to sit in lab and were asked to send requests for loging in and then were asked to request for text on internet. System responded to request as desired.
Acceptance Testing:
Acceptance was performed in the real environment with realistic data of the client to demonstrate if the software developed is working satisfactorily. Here the main focus was on the external behavior of the system; the internal logic of the program was not emphasized.
Test Data and Test Cases:
The primary objective of test case design is to derive a set of tests that have the highest likelihood of uncovering errors in software. The test case specification is the major activity in the testing process. Careful selection of test cases that satisfy the criterion on approach specified is essential for proper testing. Various characteristics of test cases that are required for portal are:
1.A good test has a high probability of finding an error.
2. A good test is not redundant.
3. A good test should be “Best of Breed”.
4. A good test should be neither too simple not too complex.
Test Data For This Application:
1. Member Details like Name, Address, Ticket details etc.
2. Project Details like Ticket Status, Country Dropdowns, States Dropdowns, telephone and unique E-Mail Ids etc.
3. Content to be displayed on the site.
Test plan
Testing commences with a test plan and terminates with acceptance testing. A test plan is a general document for the entire project that defines the scope, approach to be taken and schedule of testing as well as identifies the test item for the entire testing process and the personnel responsible for the different activities of testing.
Overview of Testing
1. Testing: Testing involves executing the program (or part of it) using sample data and inferring from the output whether the software performs correctly or not. This can be done either during module development (unit testing) or when several modules are combined (system testing).
2. Defect Testing: Defect testing is testing for situation where the program does not meet its functional specification. Performance testing tests a system's performance or reliability under realistic loads. This may go some way to ensuring that the program meets its non-functional requirements.
2.Debugging: Debugging is a cycle of detection, location, repair and test. Debugging is a hypothesis testing process. When a bug is detected, the tester must form a hypothesis about the cause and location of the bug. Further examination of the execution of the program (possible including many returns of it) will usually take place to confirm the hypothesis. If the hypothesis is demonstrated to be incorrect, a new hypothesis must be formed. Debugging tools that show the state of the program are useful for this, but inserting print statements is often the only approach. Experienced debuggers use their knowledge of common and/or obscure bugs to facilitate the hypothesis testing process. After fixing a bug, the system must be reset to ensure that the fix has worked and that no other bugs have been introduced. This is called regression testing. In principle, all tests should be performed again but this is often too expensive to do.
Test Planning
Testing needs to be planned, to be cost and time effective. Planning is setting out standards for tests. Test plans set out the context in which individual engineers can place their own work. Typical test plan contains:
Overview of testing process
1. Requirements trace ability (to ensure that all requirements are tested)
2. List of item to be tested
3. Schedule
4. Recording procedures so that test results can be audited
5. Hardware and software requirements
6. Constraints
Overview of Testing Strategies
Large systems are usually tested using a mixture of strategies. Different strategies may be needed for different parts of the system or stages of the process.
1. Top-down testing: This approach tests high levels of system before detailed components. This is appropriate when developing the system top-down and is likely to show up structural design errors early (and therefore cheaply). But this often has advantage that a limited, working system is available early on. Validation (as distinct from verification) can begin early. Its disadvantage is that stubs need to be generated (extra effort) and might be impracticable if component is complex (e.g. converting an array into a linked list; unrealistic to generate random list; therefore end up implementing unit anyway). Test output may be difficult to observe (needs creation of artificial environment). This is not appropriate for OO systems (except within a class).
2. Bottom-up testing: This is opposite of top-down testing. This tests low-level units then works up the hierarchy. Its advantages and disadvantages mirror those of top-down testing. In this testing there is need to write test drivers for each unit. These are as reusable as the unit itself. Combining top-down development with bottom-up testing means that all parts of system must be implemented before testing can begin, which does not accord with incremental approach discussed above. Bottom-up testing is less likely to reveal architectural faults early on. However, bottom-up testing of critical low-level components is almost always necessary. Appropriate for OO systems.
3. Stress testing: Tests system's ability to cope with a specified load (e.g. transactions per second). Tests should be planned to increase load incrementally. This type of testing goes beyond design limit until system fails (this test is particularly important for distributed systems like checking degradation of performance a s network traffic increases).
4. Back-to-back testing: Comparison of test results from different versions of the system (e.g. compare with prototype, previous version or different configuration). Process – Run first system, saving test case results. Run second system, again saving its results. Compare result files. The key point to be noted is that no difference does not mean no bugs. Both systems may have made the same mistake.
5. Defect testing: A successful defect test is a test that causes the system to behave incorrectly. Defect testing is not intended to show that a program meets its specification. If tests do not show up defects it may mean that the tests are not exhaustive enough. Exhaustive testing is not always practically applicable. Subset has to be defined (this should be part of the test plan, not left to the individual programmer).
Possible Methods:
1. Usual method is to ensure that every line of code is executed at least once.
2. Test capabilities rather than components (e.g. concentrate on tests for data loss over ones for screen layout).
3. Test old in preference to new (users less affected by failure of new capabilities).
4. Test typical cases rather than boundary ones (ensure normal operation works properly).
There are three approaches to defect testing. Each one suits different types of component. Studies show that black box testing is more effective in discovering faults than white-box testing. However, the rate of fault detection (faults detected per unit time) was similar for each approach. Also showed that static code reviewing is more effective and less expensive than defect testing.
1. Black-box (Functional) Testing: Testing against specification of system or component. Study it by examining its inputs and related outputs. Key is to devise inputs that have a higher likelihood of causing outputs that reveal the presence of defects. Use experience and knowledge of domain to identify such test cases. Failing this, a systematic approach may be necessary. Equivalence partitioning is where the input to a program falls into a number of classes. E.g. positive numbers vs. negative numbers. Programs normally behave the same way for each member of a class. Partitions exist for both input and output. Partitions may be discrete or overlap. Invalid data (i.e. outside the normal partitions) is one or more partitions that should be tested. Test cases are chosen to exercise each portion. Also test boundary cases (typical, extreme, zero) since these frequently show up defects. For completeness, test all combinations of partitions. Black box testing is rarely exhaustive (because one doesn't test every value in an equivalence partition) and sometimes fails to reveal corruption defects caused by "weird" combination of inputs. Black box testing should not be used to try and reveal corruption defects caused, for example, by assigning a pointer to point to an object of the wrong type. Static inspection (or using a better programming language) is preferable for this.
2. White-box (Structural) Testing: Testing based on knowledge of structure of component (e.g. by looking at source code). Advantage is that structure of code can be used to find out how many test cases need to be performed. Knowledge of the algorithm (examination of the code) can be used to identify the equivalence partitions. Path testing is where the tester aims to exercise every independent execution path through the component. All conditional statements are tested for both true and false cases. If a unit has n control statements, there will be up to 2n possible paths through it. This demonstrates that it is much easier to test small program units than large ones. Flow graphs are a pictorial representation of the paths of control through a program (ignoring assignments, procedure calls and I/O statements). Use flow graph to design test cases that execute each path. Static tools may be used to make this easier in programs that have a complex branching structure. Tools like Dynamic program analyzers instrument a program with additional code. Typically this will count how many times each statement is executed. At the end, a print out report shows which statements had executed and which had not been executed.
Problems With Flow Graph Derived Testing:
1.Data complexity not taken into account.
2.Does not test all paths in combination.
3.Practically possible at unit and module testing stages because beyond that complexity is too high.
Interface testing: Usually done at integration stage when modules or sub-systems are combined. Objective is to detect errors or invalid assumptions about interfaces between modules. Reason these are not shown in unit testing is that test case may perpetuate same incorrect assumptions made by module designer. Particularly important when OO development has been used.
Four Types Of Interface:
1. Parameter: data (or occasionally function references) passed from one unit to another.
2. Shared memory: block of memory shared between units (e.g. global variable) .One places data there and the other retrieves it.
3.Procedural: Object-Oriented or abstract data type form of interface, encapsulating several procedures.
4. Message passing: one sub-system requests a service by passing a message. Client-server interface also used by some OO architectures.
Three Common Kinds Of Interface Error:
1. Interface misuse: Caller gives wrong number/types/order of parameters or sends invalid message.
2. Interface misunderstanding: Caller misunderstanding specification of called component and provides or receives data in legal but unexpected form.
3. Timing errors: Producer/consumer of data operates at different speeds and data is accessed before being ready. "Race conditions".
Common manifestations are when each unit assumes the other one is checking for invalid data (failure to check return status) and the consequences of when such a fault is propagated to other units. Best testing process is to test each subsystem separately, as we have done in this project. Best done during implementation i.e. done after implementation of small sub-steps rather than large chunks. Once each lowest level unit has been tested, units are combined with related units and retested in combination. This proceeds hierarchically bottom-up until the entire system is tested as a whole.
Typical levels of testing:
1.Unit -procedure, function, method
2.Module-package, abstract data type, class
3.Sub-system - collection of related modules, cluster of classes, method-message paths
4.Acceptance testing - whole system with real data (involve customer, user, etc)
5.Alpha testing is acceptance testing with a single client (common for bespoke systems).
6.Beta testing involves distributing system to potential customers to use and provide feedback.
In, this project, Beta testing has been followed. This exposes system to situations and errors that might not be anticipated by us.
SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation
Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned into the working system and is giving confidence to the new system for the users i.e. will work efficiently and effectively. It involves careful planning, investigation of the current system and its constraints on implementation, design of method to achieve the change over, an evaluation, of change over methods. A part from planning major task of preparing the implementation is education of users. The more complex system is implemented, the more involved will be the system analysis and design effort required just for implementation. An implementation coordinating committee based on policies of individual organization has been appointed. The implementation process begins with preparing a plan for the implementation for the system. According to this plan, the activities are to be carried out, discussions may regarding the equipment has to be acquired to implement the new system
Implementation is the final and important phase. The most critical stage is in achieving a successful new system and in giving the users confidence that the new system will work and be effective. The system can be implemented only after thorough testing is done and if it found to working according to the specification. This method also offers the greatest security since the old system can take over if the errors are found or inability to handle certain types of transaction while using the new system.
The major elements of implementation plan are test plan, training plan, equipment installation plan, and a conversion plan.
Implementation Tools:
1. Training personnel
2. Conversion Procedures
3. Post-implementation review
Training of Personnel involved with system
Even well designed system can succeed or fail because of the way they are operated and used. Therefore, the quality of training received by the personal involved with the system in various capacities helps or hinders and may even prevent the successful implementation of management information system.
System Operators Training
Running of the system successfully depend on the personnel working in the Computer Centre. They are Responsible for providing the necessary support. Their training must ensure that they are able to handle all possible operations, both routine and extra-ordinary in nature.
If the system calls for the installation of new equipment, such as new computer system, special terminals or different data entry machines, the operators training should include such fundamentals as how to turn the equipment on and use it, how to power off and a knowledge of what constitutes normal operations. The operators should also be trained on different type of malfunctioning, how to recognize them and what steps should also be taken whenever they arise.
User Training
User may be trained on use equipment, particularly in the case where, e.g. a micro computer is in use and individual involved is both operator and user. In such cases, user must be given training on how to operate and user. In such cases, user must be given training on how to operator the system also. Questions that may be trivial to the analyst, such as how to turn on a terminal, how to insert a diskette into a micro-computer or when it is safe to turn off equipment with out danger of data loss are significant problems to new users who are not familiar.
Inmost of the cases user training deals with the operation of the system itself, with proper attention given to data handling techniques. It is imperative that users be properly trained in methods of entering transaction, editing data, formulating inquiries, deleting and inserting of records. No training is complete without familiarizing users with simple systems maintenance activities. Weakness in any aspect of training may lead of awkward situation that creates user frustration and error.
Conversion Methods
A conversion is the process of changing from the old system to the new one. It must be properly planned and executed. Four methods are common in use. They are Parallel Systems, Direct Conversion, Pilot System and Phase In method. Each method should be considered in the light of the opportunities that it offers and problems that it may create. In general, system conversion should be accomplished in shortest possible time. Long conversion periods create problems for all persons involved including both analysts and users.
Parallel Systems:
The most secure method of converting from an old to new system is to run both systems in parallel. This method is safest one because it ensures that in case of any problem in using new system, the organization can still fall back to the old system without the loss of time and money.
The Disadvantages Of Parallel Systems Approach Are:
1. It doubles operating costs.
2. The new system may not get fair trial.
Direct conversion:
This method converts from the old system to new system abruptly, sometimes over a weekend or even overnight. The old system is used until a planned conversion day, when it is replaced by the new system.
Pilot System:
Pilot approach is often preferred in the case of the new system which involves new techniques or some drastic changes in organization performance. In this method, a working version of the system is implemented in one part of the organization, such as a single work area or department.
Phase –IN- Method:
This method is used when it is not possible to install a new system throughout an organization all at once. The conversion of files, training of personnel or arrival of equipment may force the staging of the implementation over a period of time, ranging from weeks to months.
Post Implementation Review
After the system is implemented and conversion is complete, a review should be conducted to determine whether the system is meeting expectations and where improvements are needed. A post implementation review measures the systems performance against predefined requirement. It determines how well the system continues to meet the performance specifications.
MAINTENANCE
Once the website is launched, it enters the maintenance phase. All systems need maintenance. Maintenance is required because there are often some residual errors remaining in the system that must be removed as they are discovered. Maintenance involves understanding the effects of the change, making the changes to both the code and the documents, testing the new parts and retesting the old parts that were not changed. Maintenance is mainly of two types:
1. Corrective Maintenance
2. Adaptive Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance:
Almost all software that is developed has residual errors or bugs in them. Many of these surfaces only after the system have been in operation, sometimes for a long time. These errors once discovered need to be removed, leading to the software to be changed. This is called Corrective Maintenance.
Adaptive Maintenance:
Even without bugs, software frequently undergoes change. The software often must be upgraded and enhanced to include more features and provide more services. This requires modification of the software. This type of maintenance is known as the Adaptive Maintenance
PROJECT LEGACY
CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT
Starting from the problem statement ,this project is designed to provide a Route Map of Chandigarh used by administrators in any company.
MANAGERIAL LESSON:
1. INTERPERSONAL SKILLS:
Almost all employees belong to a work unit. To some degree, the work performance depends on the ability to effectively interact with team members and the team leader. The training period has underlined the importance of how to a better listener, how to communicate ideas more clearly and now to be a more effective team player as a result of improving the overall interpersonal skills.
2. PERFOMANCE EVALUATION AND MOTIVATION:
There is a continuous performance appraisal carried out by the team leader. The expectancy model of the motivation offers one the best explanations of what of what influences the amount of effort an influences the amount of effort an individual will exert on her job. A vital component of this motivation , the company gives a clear perception that the efforts exerted leading to a favorable performance evaluation will lead to rewards.
3. WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
The first 10 days of the training included a general introduction to the basic tools of JAVA.
During the second week the project was assigned and application of various tools were taught side by side. Integration of the various tools required for the project is the most powerful feature being used at advanced center and I consider myself fortunate that I could be a part of it.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
Present Scope:
Now a day’s digital world every thing is getting computerized and proceeds very fast execution. Using fast way computerized system for manipulation of data related to project saves time papers and manpower which will further help in providing better services to society.
The projects I have developed have a very wider scope because as we know that now these days business in the area of study is booming so the IT market is having a very vast scope in it. As we know the more and more tuition centers and institutes are coming in the market they have to need software for handling their records.
My project fulfill all the needs of any type of institute like handling
This software can satisfy needs of only one institute but if we want to connect multiple branches of any institute then we can use networking and we can access data of every institute from any branch if we have proper access privileges. I am installing these features in next version. So keep waiting

In the development of this project we have used MS-Access as the back end and developer 2000 forms 6.0 as the front end. Description of the both back end and front end is given as follows.
BACK END: MS Access
INTRODUCTION TO MS ACCESS
Microsoft (MS) Access is a relationship database management system (RDBMS) used to store and manipulate large collection of information of any kind. Here RDBMS refers to the organization of the data in a series and columns is such a manner that any specific piece of information is available with the click of the mouse and a few key strokes, MS Access has tools which are easy to use and provide a powerful development environment, making it an appropriate choice for novices as well as professional.
For e.g Access can be used to enter and maintain student awards, inventory records of a warehouse, telephone numbers. Once a record is stored, any type of queries can be asked, reports can be created and type entry forms can be designed. At the advanced level Access can be used for developing custom database applications by employing Access basic and a distribution kit for compiling application.
HARDWARW/SOFTWARE ARE REQIREMENTS OF ACCESS
Access is a window 98/2KXP based program so Microsoft window 945/2K/XP
should be installed on target computer. A computer may have 80386,80846 or PENTIUM based processor with a minimum 8MB of RAM;VGA Graphics display and a mouse.
COMPONENTS OF ACCESS
1. Database window: Here all objects of a database are stored in a stored in a single file having extension MDB. The objects are managed through the database window as shown in figure.
2. Database and Tables: Database is a collection of information retained in the form of tables. Table of rows and columns. Each table stores information about one entity such as account no, customer name, phone no
3. Each row in the table represents a single record of an entity. Each column contains discrete element of information called a field. A field can be a customer name and phone no.. To illustrate the concept of a table, record, field is used which uses different tables to stores:
· Student table(roll no, name, father’s name, class of students)
FRONT END: JAVA J2SDK1.4
INTRODUCTION OF JAVA
Java is a general purpose, object oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems of USA in 1991.Originally called OAK by JAMES GOSTLING, one of the inventors of the language, and java was designed for development of software . The goal had a strong impact on the development team to make the language simple, portable and highly reliable.
Features of java
· Compiled and interpreted
· Platform independent and portable
· Object oriented
· Robust and secure
· Familiar, simple and small
· Multithreaded and interactive
· High performance
· Dynamic and extensible
Ø Compiled and interpreted:- java combines both these approaches that are 3 compiled and interpreted. First, java compiler translates source code into byte code instructions. Byte codes are not machine instructions and java interpreter generates machine code that can be directly executed by the machine that is running the java program. We can thus; say that java is both a compiled and interpreted language.
Ø Platform independent and portable:-The most significant contribution of java over other language is its portability. Java programs can be easily moved from one system to another, anywhere and anytime. Java ensures portability in two ways. First, java complier generates byte code instruction that can be implemented in any machine. Secondly, the sizes of the permitted data types are machine independent.
Ø Object oriented: - java is a true object oriented language. Almost everything in java is an object. All program codes and data resides within objects and classes. Java comes with an extensive set of classes, arrange in packages that we can use in our program by inheritance. The object model in java is simple and easy to extend.
Ø Robust and secure:-java is a robust language. It provides many safeguards to ensure reliable code. It has strict compile time and run time checking for data types. Security becomes an important issue for a language that is used for programming on internet.
Ø Familiar, simple and small:- java is a simple and small language. Many feature of c and c++ that are either redundant or sources of unreliable code are not part of java. Familiarity is another striking feature of java. To make the language look familiar to the existing programmers, it was modeled on c and c++ languages. Java uses many construct of c and c++ and therefore, java code look like c++ code
Ø Multithreaded and interactive:- Multithreading means handling multiple tasks simultaneously. Java supports multithreaded programs. This means that we need not wait for the application to finish one task before beginning other. This feature greatly improves the interactive performance of the graphical application.
Ø High performance:- Java performance is impressive for an interpreted language mainly due to the main use of intermediate byte code. According to SUN, java speed is comparable to the native c/c++. Java architecture is also designed to reduce overheads during runtime. Further the incorporation of multithreading enhances the overall execution speed of java programs.
Ø Dynamic and extensible: - Java is a dynamic language. Java is capable of dynamically linking in new class libraries, methods, objects. Java can also determine the type of the class through a query making it possible to either dynamically link or abort the program, depending on the response.
NTRODUCTION TO JDBC
JDBC stands for java database connectivity. It was developed by java soft and is part of java enterprise API.JDBC is first standardized API that allows the user to develop database front ends without continuously rewriting their code. JDBC provides ability to create robust platform independent applications and web based applets, which can access any database through a DBMS independent mechanism.
How JDBC works
A set of JDBC object and method , defined in JDBC are used to interact with underlying database .At beginning of process ,a java program opens a connection to database .Then , it creates statement object passes sequel statement to underlying DBMS through statement object and retrieves the result and information about result set.
JDBC-ODBC CONNECTIVITY STEPS
· Locating an appropriate database driver.
Locating DBMS on hard disk
· Establishing a connection.
· Creating and firing SQL queries against database.
· Creating record set objects.
· Terminate the connection.
JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE (JVM)
All language compilers translate source code into machine code for specific computers. Java compiler also does the same thing. Then, how does java achieve neutrality? The answer is that the java compiler produce an intermediate code known as byte code for a machine that does not exist only inside the computer memory. It is simulated computer within the computer and does all major function of a real computer.
This figure shows the process of compiling a java program into byte code which is also referred to as virtual machine code.
Process of complication
The virtual machine code is not machine specific. The machine specific code (known as machine code) is generated by the java interpreter by acting as an intermediatiary between the virtual machine the real machine as shown in figure.
Process of converting byte code to machiene code
This figure illustrates how java works on a typical computer. The java object framework acts as the intermediary between the user programs and the virtual machine which is turn acts as the intermediary between the operating system and java object framework
Layers of interactions of java prog.
JAVA API PACKAGE
Java API provides a large number of classes grouped into different packages according to functionality. Most of the time we use the package available with the java API. This figure shows the functional break down of package that is frequently used in the programs.
Frequently used API packages
· Language Support package: A collection of classes and method required for implementing basis feature of java
· Utilities Package: A collection of classes to provide utility function such as date and time function.
· Input/Output Packages: A collection of classes required for input/output manipulation
· Networking Packages: A collection of classes for communicating with other computers via internet
· AWT Package: The Abstract window toolkit package contain classes that implements platform independent graphical user interface.
· Applet Package: This includes a set of classes that allow us to create java applet.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
An initial investigation culminates in a proposal that determines whether an alternative system is feasible and if the proposal initiates Feasibility Study. Basically a Feasibility Study is prepared to present an in depth techno-commercial analysis
Economic Feasibility
Economic Analysis is the most frequent used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a project. It is procedure to determine the benefits and the saving that are expected from a project and compare with it cost.
Our project is economically feasible due to certain reasons.
· It is cost effective and will maximize the returns.
· Cost of staff cut off
Technical feasibility
Technical feasibility Centers on the existing system and to what extent it can support the proposal addition the hardware and are technically viable.
Our project is technically or operationally feasible due to certain factors:
· As the system is used friendly though it is likely approved by users showing no resistance what so user and if the user wants more facilities then that can be provided to him.
· After the system is implemented the user will need no changes as the system is developed by keeping the user requirement in mind.
- System analysis (DFD and Flow Chart)
SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is the process of developing specifications for a candidate system that meet the criteria established in the system analysis. Major step in system design is the preparation of the input forms and the output reports in a form applicable to the user.
The main objective of the system design is to make the system user friendly. System design involves various stages as:
1. Data Entry
2. Data Correction
3. Data Deletion
4. Processing
5. Sorting and Indexing
6. Report Generation
System design is the creative act of invention, developing new inputs, a database, offline files, procedures and output for processing business to meet an organization objective. System design builds information gathered during the system analysis
Characteristics Of A Well Defined System
In design an efficient and effective system is of great importance to consider the human factor and equipment that these will require to use. System analyst must evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the personal and corresponding factors of the equipment itself.
The characteristics associated with effective system operations are:
I. Accessibility
II. Decision Making Ability
III.Economy
IV.Flexibility
V. Reliability
VI. Simplicity
Success is a new system pivots on its acceptance or non-acceptance by the organization

TESTING PHASE
The basic goal of the software development process is to produce software that has no errors or very few errors. In an effort to detect errors soon after they are introduced, each phase ends with verification activity such as a review.
As testing is the last phase before the final software is delivered, it has the enormous responsibility of detecting any type of error that may in the software. A software typically undergoes changes even after it has been delivered. And to validate that a change has not affected some old functionality of software regression testing is performed
Levels Of Testing:
The basic levels of testing are unit testing, integration testing and system and acceptance testing. These different levels of testing attempt to detect different types of faults.
| Client Needs | Acceptance Testing |
| Requirements | System Testing |
| Design | Integration Testing |
| Code | Unit Testing |
Levels of testing
Code/Unit Testing:
Code testing and implementation is a critical process that can even consume more than sixty percent of the development time.
Testing:
The system development life cycle involves the phases of testing and debugging after the requirement analysis, designing and coding. The project in question was tested , debugged and implemented successfully.
Two strategies of software testing adopted for the new system are as follows:
1. Code testing
2. Specification testing
Code testing:
Code testing was carried out to see the correctness of the logic involved and the correctness of the modules. Tests were conducted based upon sample and live data as well. All the modules are checked separately for assuming correctness and accuracy in all the calculations.
Specification testing:
It examines the specification stating about what program should do and how it performs under various conditions. This testing strategy is better strategy since it focuses on the way the software is expected to work.
Unit Testing:
During the phase of unit testing different constituent modules were testing against the specifications produced during the design for the modules. Unit testing is essentially for the verification of the code produced during the coding the phase, and goal is to test the internal logic of the modules. The modules once tested were then considered for integration and use by others.
1.White Box Testing Done
During this phase of the testing phase SDLC, server developed was tested while considering a valid value corresponding to each of variable defined and corresponding to each function defined. During this phase values corresponding to each variable viz. URL filtering, word filtering and scheduling was done and desired results were obtained.
2.Black Box Testing Done
This phase of testing deals with input/output testing. Black box testing was performed on the software developed, corresponding to valid inputs provided desired outputs were obtained.
Integration Testing:
The next level testing that was performed is often referred to as integration testing. During this phase many unit tested modules were combined into subsystems, which were then tested. The goal here was to see if modules can be integrated properly. Here the emphasis was on testing interfaces between different constituent modules of system.
Functionality Testing:
Here the entire software system was tested. The reference document for this process is the requirements document, and the goal was to see if software solution meets its requirements.
This level of testing is essentially a validation exercise, and in many situation it is the only validation activity.
Stress Testing:
Proxy server developed for the specified purpose was testing under heavy load, i.e. a large no. of clients were made to sit in lab and were asked to send requests for loging in and then were asked to request for text on internet. System responded to request as desired.
Acceptance Testing:
Acceptance was performed in the real environment with realistic data of the client to demonstrate if the software developed is working satisfactorily. Here the main focus was on the external behavior of the system; the internal logic of the program was not emphasized.
Test Data and Test Cases:
The primary objective of test case design is to derive a set of tests that have the highest likelihood of uncovering errors in software. The test case specification is the major activity in the testing process. Careful selection of test cases that satisfy the criterion on approach specified is essential for proper testing. Various characteristics of test cases that are required for portal are:
1.A good test has a high probability of finding an error.
2. A good test is not redundant.
3. A good test should be “Best of Breed”.
4. A good test should be neither too simple not too complex.
Test Data For This Application:
1. Member Details like Name, Address, Ticket details etc.
2. Project Details like Ticket Status, Country Dropdowns, States Dropdowns, telephone and unique E-Mail Ids etc.
3. Content to be displayed on the site.
Test plan
Testing commences with a test plan and terminates with acceptance testing. A test plan is a general document for the entire project that defines the scope, approach to be taken and schedule of testing as well as identifies the test item for the entire testing process and the personnel responsible for the different activities of testing.
Overview of Testing
1. Testing: Testing involves executing the program (or part of it) using sample data and inferring from the output whether the software performs correctly or not. This can be done either during module development (unit testing) or when several modules are combined (system testing).
2. Defect Testing: Defect testing is testing for situation where the program does not meet its functional specification. Performance testing tests a system's performance or reliability under realistic loads. This may go some way to ensuring that the program meets its non-functional requirements.
2.Debugging: Debugging is a cycle of detection, location, repair and test. Debugging is a hypothesis testing process. When a bug is detected, the tester must form a hypothesis about the cause and location of the bug. Further examination of the execution of the program (possible including many returns of it) will usually take place to confirm the hypothesis. If the hypothesis is demonstrated to be incorrect, a new hypothesis must be formed. Debugging tools that show the state of the program are useful for this, but inserting print statements is often the only approach. Experienced debuggers use their knowledge of common and/or obscure bugs to facilitate the hypothesis testing process. After fixing a bug, the system must be reset to ensure that the fix has worked and that no other bugs have been introduced. This is called regression testing. In principle, all tests should be performed again but this is often too expensive to do.
Test Planning
Testing needs to be planned, to be cost and time effective. Planning is setting out standards for tests. Test plans set out the context in which individual engineers can place their own work. Typical test plan contains:
Overview of testing process
1. Requirements trace ability (to ensure that all requirements are tested)
2. List of item to be tested
3. Schedule
4. Recording procedures so that test results can be audited
5. Hardware and software requirements
6. Constraints
Overview of Testing Strategies
Large systems are usually tested using a mixture of strategies. Different strategies may be needed for different parts of the system or stages of the process.
1. Top-down testing: This approach tests high levels of system before detailed components. This is appropriate when developing the system top-down and is likely to show up structural design errors early (and therefore cheaply). But this often has advantage that a limited, working system is available early on. Validation (as distinct from verification) can begin early. Its disadvantage is that stubs need to be generated (extra effort) and might be impracticable if component is complex (e.g. converting an array into a linked list; unrealistic to generate random list; therefore end up implementing unit anyway). Test output may be difficult to observe (needs creation of artificial environment). This is not appropriate for OO systems (except within a class).
2. Bottom-up testing: This is opposite of top-down testing. This tests low-level units then works up the hierarchy. Its advantages and disadvantages mirror those of top-down testing. In this testing there is need to write test drivers for each unit. These are as reusable as the unit itself. Combining top-down development with bottom-up testing means that all parts of system must be implemented before testing can begin, which does not accord with incremental approach discussed above. Bottom-up testing is less likely to reveal architectural faults early on. However, bottom-up testing of critical low-level components is almost always necessary. Appropriate for OO systems.
3. Stress testing: Tests system's ability to cope with a specified load (e.g. transactions per second). Tests should be planned to increase load incrementally. This type of testing goes beyond design limit until system fails (this test is particularly important for distributed systems like checking degradation of performance a s network traffic increases).
4. Back-to-back testing: Comparison of test results from different versions of the system (e.g. compare with prototype, previous version or different configuration). Process – Run first system, saving test case results. Run second system, again saving its results. Compare result files. The key point to be noted is that no difference does not mean no bugs. Both systems may have made the same mistake.
5. Defect testing: A successful defect test is a test that causes the system to behave incorrectly. Defect testing is not intended to show that a program meets its specification. If tests do not show up defects it may mean that the tests are not exhaustive enough. Exhaustive testing is not always practically applicable. Subset has to be defined (this should be part of the test plan, not left to the individual programmer).
Possible Methods:
1. Usual method is to ensure that every line of code is executed at least once.
2. Test capabilities rather than components (e.g. concentrate on tests for data loss over ones for screen layout).
3. Test old in preference to new (users less affected by failure of new capabilities).
4. Test typical cases rather than boundary ones (ensure normal operation works properly).
There are three approaches to defect testing. Each one suits different types of component. Studies show that black box testing is more effective in discovering faults than white-box testing. However, the rate of fault detection (faults detected per unit time) was similar for each approach. Also showed that static code reviewing is more effective and less expensive than defect testing.
1. Black-box (Functional) Testing: Testing against specification of system or component. Study it by examining its inputs and related outputs. Key is to devise inputs that have a higher likelihood of causing outputs that reveal the presence of defects. Use experience and knowledge of domain to identify such test cases. Failing this, a systematic approach may be necessary. Equivalence partitioning is where the input to a program falls into a number of classes. E.g. positive numbers vs. negative numbers. Programs normally behave the same way for each member of a class. Partitions exist for both input and output. Partitions may be discrete or overlap. Invalid data (i.e. outside the normal partitions) is one or more partitions that should be tested. Test cases are chosen to exercise each portion. Also test boundary cases (typical, extreme, zero) since these frequently show up defects. For completeness, test all combinations of partitions. Black box testing is rarely exhaustive (because one doesn't test every value in an equivalence partition) and sometimes fails to reveal corruption defects caused by "weird" combination of inputs. Black box testing should not be used to try and reveal corruption defects caused, for example, by assigning a pointer to point to an object of the wrong type. Static inspection (or using a better programming language) is preferable for this.
2. White-box (Structural) Testing: Testing based on knowledge of structure of component (e.g. by looking at source code). Advantage is that structure of code can be used to find out how many test cases need to be performed. Knowledge of the algorithm (examination of the code) can be used to identify the equivalence partitions. Path testing is where the tester aims to exercise every independent execution path through the component. All conditional statements are tested for both true and false cases. If a unit has n control statements, there will be up to 2n possible paths through it. This demonstrates that it is much easier to test small program units than large ones. Flow graphs are a pictorial representation of the paths of control through a program (ignoring assignments, procedure calls and I/O statements). Use flow graph to design test cases that execute each path. Static tools may be used to make this easier in programs that have a complex branching structure. Tools like Dynamic program analyzers instrument a program with additional code. Typically this will count how many times each statement is executed. At the end, a print out report shows which statements had executed and which had not been executed.
Problems With Flow Graph Derived Testing:
1.Data complexity not taken into account.
2.Does not test all paths in combination.
3.Practically possible at unit and module testing stages because beyond that complexity is too high.
Interface testing: Usually done at integration stage when modules or sub-systems are combined. Objective is to detect errors or invalid assumptions about interfaces between modules. Reason these are not shown in unit testing is that test case may perpetuate same incorrect assumptions made by module designer. Particularly important when OO development has been used.
Four Types Of Interface:
1. Parameter: data (or occasionally function references) passed from one unit to another.
2. Shared memory: block of memory shared between units (e.g. global variable) .One places data there and the other retrieves it.
3.Procedural: Object-Oriented or abstract data type form of interface, encapsulating several procedures.
4. Message passing: one sub-system requests a service by passing a message. Client-server interface also used by some OO architectures.
Three Common Kinds Of Interface Error:
1. Interface misuse: Caller gives wrong number/types/order of parameters or sends invalid message.
2. Interface misunderstanding: Caller misunderstanding specification of called component and provides or receives data in legal but unexpected form.
3. Timing errors: Producer/consumer of data operates at different speeds and data is accessed before being ready. "Race conditions".
Common manifestations are when each unit assumes the other one is checking for invalid data (failure to check return status) and the consequences of when such a fault is propagated to other units. Best testing process is to test each subsystem separately, as we have done in this project. Best done during implementation i.e. done after implementation of small sub-steps rather than large chunks. Once each lowest level unit has been tested, units are combined with related units and retested in combination. This proceeds hierarchically bottom-up until the entire system is tested as a whole.
Typical levels of testing:
1.Unit -procedure, function, method
2.Module-package, abstract data type, class
3.Sub-system - collection of related modules, cluster of classes, method-message paths
4.Acceptance testing - whole system with real data (involve customer, user, etc)
5.Alpha testing is acceptance testing with a single client (common for bespoke systems).
6.Beta testing involves distributing system to potential customers to use and provide feedback.
In, this project, Beta testing has been followed. This exposes system to situations and errors that might not be anticipated by us.
SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation
Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned into the working system and is giving confidence to the new system for the users i.e. will work efficiently and effectively. It involves careful planning, investigation of the current system and its constraints on implementation, design of method to achieve the change over, an evaluation, of change over methods. A part from planning major task of preparing the implementation is education of users. The more complex system is implemented, the more involved will be the system analysis and design effort required just for implementation. An implementation coordinating committee based on policies of individual organization has been appointed. The implementation process begins with preparing a plan for the implementation for the system. According to this plan, the activities are to be carried out, discussions may regarding the equipment has to be acquired to implement the new system
Implementation is the final and important phase. The most critical stage is in achieving a successful new system and in giving the users confidence that the new system will work and be effective. The system can be implemented only after thorough testing is done and if it found to working according to the specification. This method also offers the greatest security since the old system can take over if the errors are found or inability to handle certain types of transaction while using the new system.
The major elements of implementation plan are test plan, training plan, equipment installation plan, and a conversion plan.
There are three types of implementation:
1. Implementation of a computer system to replace a manual system.
2. Implementation of a new computer system to replace an existing system.
3. Implementation of a modified application to replace an existing one, using the same computer.
Successful implementation may not guarantee improvement in the organization using the new system, but improper installation will prevent it. It has been observed that even the best system cannot show good result if the analysts managing the implementation do not attend to every important detail. This is an area where the systems analysts need to work with utmost care.Implementation Tools:
1. Training personnel
2. Conversion Procedures
3. Post-implementation review
Training of Personnel involved with system
Even well designed system can succeed or fail because of the way they are operated and used. Therefore, the quality of training received by the personal involved with the system in various capacities helps or hinders and may even prevent the successful implementation of management information system.
System Operators Training
Running of the system successfully depend on the personnel working in the Computer Centre. They are Responsible for providing the necessary support. Their training must ensure that they are able to handle all possible operations, both routine and extra-ordinary in nature.
If the system calls for the installation of new equipment, such as new computer system, special terminals or different data entry machines, the operators training should include such fundamentals as how to turn the equipment on and use it, how to power off and a knowledge of what constitutes normal operations. The operators should also be trained on different type of malfunctioning, how to recognize them and what steps should also be taken whenever they arise.
User Training
User may be trained on use equipment, particularly in the case where, e.g. a micro computer is in use and individual involved is both operator and user. In such cases, user must be given training on how to operate and user. In such cases, user must be given training on how to operator the system also. Questions that may be trivial to the analyst, such as how to turn on a terminal, how to insert a diskette into a micro-computer or when it is safe to turn off equipment with out danger of data loss are significant problems to new users who are not familiar.
Inmost of the cases user training deals with the operation of the system itself, with proper attention given to data handling techniques. It is imperative that users be properly trained in methods of entering transaction, editing data, formulating inquiries, deleting and inserting of records. No training is complete without familiarizing users with simple systems maintenance activities. Weakness in any aspect of training may lead of awkward situation that creates user frustration and error.
Conversion Methods
A conversion is the process of changing from the old system to the new one. It must be properly planned and executed. Four methods are common in use. They are Parallel Systems, Direct Conversion, Pilot System and Phase In method. Each method should be considered in the light of the opportunities that it offers and problems that it may create. In general, system conversion should be accomplished in shortest possible time. Long conversion periods create problems for all persons involved including both analysts and users.
Parallel Systems:
The most secure method of converting from an old to new system is to run both systems in parallel. This method is safest one because it ensures that in case of any problem in using new system, the organization can still fall back to the old system without the loss of time and money.
The Disadvantages Of Parallel Systems Approach Are:
1. It doubles operating costs.
2. The new system may not get fair trial.
Direct conversion:
This method converts from the old system to new system abruptly, sometimes over a weekend or even overnight. The old system is used until a planned conversion day, when it is replaced by the new system.
Pilot System:
Pilot approach is often preferred in the case of the new system which involves new techniques or some drastic changes in organization performance. In this method, a working version of the system is implemented in one part of the organization, such as a single work area or department.
Phase –IN- Method:
This method is used when it is not possible to install a new system throughout an organization all at once. The conversion of files, training of personnel or arrival of equipment may force the staging of the implementation over a period of time, ranging from weeks to months.
Post Implementation Review
After the system is implemented and conversion is complete, a review should be conducted to determine whether the system is meeting expectations and where improvements are needed. A post implementation review measures the systems performance against predefined requirement. It determines how well the system continues to meet the performance specifications.
MAINTENANCE
Once the website is launched, it enters the maintenance phase. All systems need maintenance. Maintenance is required because there are often some residual errors remaining in the system that must be removed as they are discovered. Maintenance involves understanding the effects of the change, making the changes to both the code and the documents, testing the new parts and retesting the old parts that were not changed. Maintenance is mainly of two types:
1. Corrective Maintenance
2. Adaptive Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance:
Almost all software that is developed has residual errors or bugs in them. Many of these surfaces only after the system have been in operation, sometimes for a long time. These errors once discovered need to be removed, leading to the software to be changed. This is called Corrective Maintenance.
Adaptive Maintenance:
Even without bugs, software frequently undergoes change. The software often must be upgraded and enhanced to include more features and provide more services. This requires modification of the software. This type of maintenance is known as the Adaptive Maintenance
PROJECT LEGACY
CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT
Starting from the problem statement ,this project is designed to provide a Route Map of Chandigarh used by administrators in any company.
MANAGERIAL LESSON:
1. INTERPERSONAL SKILLS:
Almost all employees belong to a work unit. To some degree, the work performance depends on the ability to effectively interact with team members and the team leader. The training period has underlined the importance of how to a better listener, how to communicate ideas more clearly and now to be a more effective team player as a result of improving the overall interpersonal skills.
2. PERFOMANCE EVALUATION AND MOTIVATION:
There is a continuous performance appraisal carried out by the team leader. The expectancy model of the motivation offers one the best explanations of what of what influences the amount of effort an influences the amount of effort an individual will exert on her job. A vital component of this motivation , the company gives a clear perception that the efforts exerted leading to a favorable performance evaluation will lead to rewards.
3. WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
The first 10 days of the training included a general introduction to the basic tools of JAVA.
During the second week the project was assigned and application of various tools were taught side by side. Integration of the various tools required for the project is the most powerful feature being used at advanced center and I consider myself fortunate that I could be a part of it.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
Present Scope:
Now a day’s digital world every thing is getting computerized and proceeds very fast execution. Using fast way computerized system for manipulation of data related to project saves time papers and manpower which will further help in providing better services to society.
The projects I have developed have a very wider scope because as we know that now these days business in the area of study is booming so the IT market is having a very vast scope in it. As we know the more and more tuition centers and institutes are coming in the market they have to need software for handling their records.
My project fulfill all the needs of any type of institute like handling
- Teacher’s record
- Student’s record
- Course’s record
This software can satisfy needs of only one institute but if we want to connect multiple branches of any institute then we can use networking and we can access data of every institute from any branch if we have proper access privileges. I am installing these features in next version. So keep waiting

MBA Project Report: Quality of Work Life - Part 2
INTRODUCTION
DLF REAL ESTATE
The DLF Group was founded in 1946. We developed some of the first residential colonies in Delhi such as Krishna Nagar in East Delhi, which was completed in 1949. Since then we have been responsible for the development of many of Delhi's other well-known urban colonies, including South Extension, Greater Kailash, Kailash Colony and Hauz Khas.
Following the passage of the Delhi Development Act in 1957, the state assumed control of real estate development activities in Delhi, which resulted in restrictions on private real estate colony development. We therefore commenced acquiring land at relatively low cost outside the area controlled by the Delhi Development Authority, particularly in the district of Gurgaon in the adjacent state of Haryana.
This led to our first landmark real estate development project - DLF Qutab Enclave, which has now evolved into DLF City. DLF City is spread over 3,000 acres in Gurgaon and is an integrated township, which includes residential, commercial and retail properties in a modern city infrastructure with schools, hospitals, hotels and shopping malls. It also boasts of the prestigious DLF Golf and Country Club with night golfing facilities.
Delhi Land & Finance, or DLF, is a company set up by DLF chairman Mr. Kushal Pal Singh's father-in-law, Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh. The company at that time had developed no fewer than 21 colonies in Delhi between 1947 and 1961, which was taken over by the Delhi Development Authority. That had forced DLF to diversify into batteries, cables and so on.
Six decades later, DLF has invested close to Rs 80,000 crore in projects running into 100 million square feet. The group has made remarkable contribution in the evolution of the sleepy adjacent city of Gurgaon to the 'investor's destination' of India. Their foresightedness in identifying Gurgaon as the next logical extension of Delhi proved to be their biggest advantage, as they were the ones to make the first move in Gurgaon real estate.
Almost overnight, Gurgaon had turned from a sleepy village to a throbbing hub of commercial activity. DLF which started its business then with a new lease has definitely come a long way since then - from townships, shopping malls and commercial space to hotels, special economic zones and infrastructure projects.

Khushamand - An Art (ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ - ਇਕ ਕਲਾ)
ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਇਕ ਕਲਾ ਹੈ। ਹਰ ਇਕ ਆਦਮੀ ਕਾਮਯਾਬ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਣ ਸਕਦਾ। ਇਕ ਮਾਹਰ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ, ਕਿਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਕਦੋਂ ਕਰਨੀ ਹੈ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਨਂਜ਼ਰਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦੀ ਭਾਵੇਂ 'ਕਮੀਨਾ' ਤੇ 'ਗਿਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ' ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਕਾਫੀ ਸੰਸਾਰਕ ਤੇ ਪਦਾਰਥਕ ਲਾਭ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਂਝ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਆਦਮੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਿਆ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਕਦੇ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦੀ ਨਾਲ ਵਾਹ ਨਾਂ ਪਿਆ ਹੋਵੇ ਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਦਾ ਸੁਆਦ ਨਾ ਚੱਖਿਆ ਹੋਵੇ। ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ ਸੈਂਕੜੇ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਸਬਕ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਸ ਲੂੰਬੜੀ ਤੋਂ ਲੈ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ, ਜਿਸ ਨੇ ਕਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਪਨੀਰ ਦਾ ਟੁਕੜਾ ਖੋਹਣ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਬੋਲ ਨੂੰ ਤਾਨਸੈਨ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਸੁਰੀਲਾ ਕਹਿ ਕੇ ਗਾਣਾ ਸੁਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਕਿਹਾ ਸੀ। ਜੇਕਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਕਹਿ ਦੇਵੋ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦਾ, ਤਾਂ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਉਹ ਫੁੱਲ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਵੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਹੀ ਹੈ। ਇਕ ਦੁਕਾਨਦਾਰ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਚੋਣ ਤੇ ਰੁਚੀ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਸਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤੁਹਾਥੋਂ ਪੈਸੇ ਬਟੋਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕਈ ਲੋਕ ਰਾਜਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਰਹਿਣ_ਸਹਿਣ ਤੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਮੈਂਬਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਸਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੰਮ ਕੱਢਦੇ ਹਨ। ਜਿਹੜੇ ਲੋਕ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਦੀ ਕਲਾ ਦੀ ਯੋਗਤਾ ਨਾਲ ਵਰਤੋਂ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਕਦੇ ਭੁੱਖੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਰਦੇ। ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਵਿਚ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ ਅਸਲੀ ਯੋਗਤਾ ਵਾਲੇ ਬੰਦੇ ਉਂਗਲਾਂ ਟੁੱਕਦੇ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸਭ ਨੂੰ ਖੁਸ਼ਾਮਦ ਦੀ ਕਲਾ ਸਿੱਖਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ। ਆਪਣੇ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਖਾਉਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਇੱਥੋਂ ਤਕ ਕਹਾਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਵਰਤਮਾਨ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿਚ ਪੈਰ-ਪੈਰ ਤੇ ਕੰਮ ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਇਸ ਕਲਾ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਨਿਪੁੰਨਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਬੋਰਡਾਂ ਤੇ ਯੂਨੀਵਰਸਿਟਿਆਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਸਕੂਲਾਂ ਕਾਲਜਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਇਸ ਸੰਬੰਧੀ ਕੋਰਸ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨੇ ਚਾਹੀਦੇ ਹਨ।
