 PREFACE

Effective management of projects is vital for the

development of economy because development itself is
the effect of series of successful managed projects.
This makes project management extremely important
problem area for developing economy such as ours.
Unfortunately many projects experience schedule
slippage and cost overruns due to variety of reasons.
To remedy the situation, a project has to be
meticulously planned, effectively implemented and
professionally managed to achieve the objective of the
time, cost and performance. Computerization of the
project management can play a major role in
streamlining the management of project. Thus we see
the computer becoming necessity in the day to day life.
The use of computer also involves the feeling of healthy
competition with the organization receiving much
attention these days. Almost everyday uses of paper
carry advertisements asking for project managers. The
scenario was not so bright a few years back. For that
matter even today though lots of seminars are held on
project management, name of the universities in India
offer any course to students to formally qualify as
project managers. Thus, while there is very little
supply. This has created all sorts of problems. Project
management, unfortunately, is not but project manager
practice, our attempts to demonstrate how project
management, as it is concerned, can be put into
practice.

 INTRODUCTION TO C#

Let’s look at the key building blocks of .NET and some

related technologies.

• C#, a new language

C# is the first component oriented language in the C

and C++ family of languages. It is a simple, modern,
object oriented and type- safe programming language
derived from C and C++. C# combines the high
productivity of Microsoft Visual Basic and the raw
power of C++.

• Common language runtime

The high performance common language runtime

includes as execution engine, a garbage collector, post
in time compilation, a security system, and a rich class
framework (the .NET Framework). The runtime was
designed from the ground up to support multiple
languages.

• Common language Specification

The Common Language Specification (CLS) describes a

common level of language functionality. The relatively
high minimum bar of the CLS enables the creation of a
club of CLS compliant languages. Each member of the
club enjoys dual benefit: complete access to .NET
functionality and rich interoperability with other
compliant languages. For e.g. a Visual Basic class can
inherit from a C# class and override its virtual
methods.

• A Rich Set Of Languages That Target The

Runtime
Microsoft provided languages that target the runtime
include Visual Basic, Visual C++ with Managed
Extensions,
Visual C# and J Script. Third parties are providing many
other languages- too many to list he

LANGUAGES USED
Why .NET?

1. Interoperability between languages and

execution environments

2. Uniformity in schema or formats for Data

Exchange using XML, XSL

3. Extend or use existing code that is valid

4. Programming complexity of environment is

reduced

The .NET Framework is…

1. A component model for the internet

 2. The new approach to building large scale

distributed systems for the Internet

3. Provides the capability to integrate multiple

devices

4. Built around the tools and protocols (XML, WSDL,

SOAP, HTTP) that are becoming standard on the

Internet

The .NET in ASP.NET stands for the .NET

Framework, a set of objects and blueprints from
Microsoft for building applications. All applications
developed under the .NET Framework; including
ASP.NET applications, have certain key features
that ensure compatibility, security, and stability.

Common Language Runtime (CLR) is an

environment that manages the execution of code.
With the .NET Framework and CLR, we write code
and compile it. However, instead of compiling it
into the computer understands, we compile it into
a language called Microsoft Intermediate Language
(MSIL). When we compile to MSIL, your application
produce something called metadata. This is
descriptive information about your application. It
tells what the application can do, where it belongs,
and so on. When you want to run your program,
the CLR takes over and compile the code once
more into the computer’s native language. This
way MSIL can go on any type of computer. The CLR
can speak many different computer languages and
does all the compiling for you. Once you compile
your application, you can bring it to any other
computer. CLR also provides services such as error
handling, security features, versioning and
deployment support, as well as cross-language
integration. That means we can choose any
language we want to write our .NET applications,
including ASP.NET applications.

The .NET Framework Design Goals

1. Component Development for the Internet

2. "Cross-Language Development”

3. Inheritance, Debugging, Exception handling

4. Reliability and Security

5. Simple Development and Deployment

 6. Device-agnostic

ASP.NET:
ASP.NET is a technology that allows us to build and
control dynamic Web pages easily. It also provides
many enhancements to take advantage of new
technology as we can interact with databases,
personalize Web pages for visitors, display page on
mobile devices (such as cell phones), and even
build an entire e-commerce site from scratch.

Previously internet works on request/response

model that is an integral part of client/server
model. Although this is a marvelous way of
communicate and distribute information, it's rather
simple and static. When the process is over, once
client receives the requesting page from the server
the server has no idea what the client is doing
unless it makes another request.

There is another model for communicating

between server and clients, known as event-driven
model.ASP.NET work on this model, it detects
action and responds to them i.e. the server waits
around for something to happen on the client.
Once it does, the server takes action and performs
some piece of functionality. Of course, a Web,
server can not know what you are thinking, but it
can respond to your actions. If you type some text
on Web page, the server responds to it. If you click
an image, the server responds.

COMPARISON OF ASP AND ASP.NET:

 Classic ASP was built on the top of the

Windows operating system and IIS (Internet
Information Server). It was always a separate
entity, and therefore its functionality was limited.
ASP.NET, on the other hand, is an integral part of
the system under the .NET Framework. It shares
many 9f the same objects that traditional
applications would use and all .NET objects
available for ASP. NET’s consumption.

 Instead of being limited to six inherent

objects in ASP, ASP.NET has a plethora of useful
components it can build form.

 ASP also made it abundantly clear that

client and server were two separate entities,
Whereas ASP. NET ties together the client and the
server through clever use of server-side and client-
side code, all invisible to the developer.

 ASP.NET code is compiled, whereas

classic ASP used interpreted scripting languages.
Using compiled code means an automatic boost in
performance over ASP applications.

 In classic ASP, nearly all of the code was

executed in code render blocks (that is, inside <
%...%> tags). In ASP.NET, this type of code isn’t
compiled and isn’t recommended for frequent use.
Instead, you use the code declaration blocks, which
are compiled and provide better performance.

Following are some of the significant new features of

ASP.NET:

• ASP.NET uses compiled code written in Common

Language Runtime languages such as Visual Basic
and C#. Unlike previous versions of Active Server
Pages, this version does not use interpreted
scripting languages such as VBScript.
• ASP.NET pages are built out of server-side controls.
Web server controls enable you to represent and
program against Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML) elements using an intuitive object model.
• ASP.NET includes a new technology called Web
Services. You can use Web Services to access
methods and properties and transfer database
data across the Internet.
 DBMS

SQL SERVER:
SQL Server is an SQL-compliant RDBMS. SQL-
compliant means it use the ANSI (American
National Standard Institute) version of Structured
Query Language or ‘SQL’. Structured Query
Language is a command that allow us to modify or
retrieve information from the database.

Client server means that SQL Server is designed to

store data in the central location (the server) and
deliver it on demand to numerous other locations
(the client). SQL Server is also a Relational
Database Management System (RDBMS).

FEATURES OF SQL SERVER 2005:

 Information representation

 Unique definition of rows

 Systematic treatment of Null values

 Guaranteed access

 High level Update, Insert, and Delete

 Retrieving information from the database.

 Accepting query language statements.

 Enforcing security specifications.

 Enforcing data integrity specifications

 Enforcing transaction consistency

 Managing data sharing

 Optimizing queries
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE
FEASIBILILTY ANALYSIS

Feasibility study is done so that an ill-conceived

system is recognized early in definition phase. During
system engineering, however, we concentrate our
attention on four primary areas of interest. This
phase is really important as before starting with the
real work of building the system it was very
important to find out whether the idea thought is
possible or not.

 Economic Feasibility: An evaluation of

development cost weighted against the ultimate
income or benefit derived from the developed
system.

 Technical Feasibility: A study of function,

performance and constraints that may affect the
ability to achieve an acceptable system.

 Operational Feasibility: A study about the

operational aspects of the system.
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Among the most important information contained in

feasibility study is Cost Benefit Analysis and
assessment of the economic justification for a
computer based system project. Cost Benefit
Analysis delineates costs for the project development
and weighs them against tangible and intangible
benefits of a system. Cost Benefits Analysis is
complicated by the criteria that vary with the
characteristics of the system to be developed, the
relative size of the project and the expected return
on investment desired as part of company’s strategic
plan. In addition, many benefits derived from a
computer-based system are intangible (e.g. better
design quality through iterative optimization,
increased customer satisfaction through
programmable control etc.)As this is an in-house
project for the company, to be used for its own
convenience and also it is not that big a project. So
neither it requires a huge amount of money nor any
costly tools or infrastructure need to be set up for it.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
 During technical analysis, the technical merits of the
system are studied and at the same time collecting
additional information about performance, reliability,
maintainability and predictability.

Technical analysis begins with an assessment of the

technical viability of the proposed system.

 What technologies are required to accomplished

system function and performance?
 What new materials, methods, algorithms or
processes are required and what is their
development risk?
 How will these obtained from technical analysis
form the basis for another go/no-go decision on the
test system? If the technical risk is severe, if
models indicate that the desired function can not
be achieved, if the pieces just won’t fit together
smoothly-it’s back to the drawing board.

As the software is vary much economically feasible,

then it is really important for it to be technically sound.
The software will be build among:

 MS SQL SERVER as Back End

 ASP.NET as Front End
 Operational Feasibility

The project is operationally feasible. This project is

being made for the convenience of the patients and
doctors only. This system will greatly reduce a huge
burden of doctors. So because of the above stated
advantages the users of the system will not be
reluctant at all.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION:

System analysis is the process of studying the business

processors and procedures, generally referred to as
business systems, to see how they can operate and
whether improvement is needed.

This may involve examining data movement and

storage, machines and technology used in the system,
programs that control the machines, people providing
inputs, doing the processing and receiving the outputs.
INVESTIGATION PHASE

The investigation phase is also known as the fact-

finding stage or the analysis of the current system. This
is a detailed study conducted with the purpose of
wanting to fully understand the existing system and to
identify the basic information requirements. Various
techniques may be used in fact-finding and all fact
obtained must be recorded.

A thorough investigation was done in every effected

aspect when determining whether the purposed system
is feasible enough to be implemented.

INVESTIGATION

As it was essential for us to find out more about the

present system, we used the following methods to
gather the information: -

1. Observation: - Necessary to see the way the system

works first hand.

2 Document sampling: - These are all the documents

that are used in the system. They are
 necessary to check all the data that
enters and leaves the system.

3 Questionnaires: - These were conducted to get views

of the other employees who are
currently employed in the system.
ANALYSIS OF THE INVESTIGATION

Strengths of the System

1. No complex equipment: - The equipment that is used

is very simple and no special skills
have to be mastered to be able to
operate the system. Therefore no
training is required for the employees.

2. Low cost: - There is little money spent in

maintaining the present system other
than buying the necessary office
equipment and the ledgers.

CONSTRAINTS AND LIMITATIONS

The constraints and limitation within a system are the
drawbacks that occur during the implementation of the
system. These limitations and constraints can crop up
in almost every system; the most important fact is to
find a way to overcome these problems.

Software design is the first of three technical

activities – design, code generation, and test that
are required to build and verify the software. Each
activity transforms information in manner that
ultimately results in validated computer software.

The design task produces a data design, an

architectural design, an interface design and
component design.

The design of an information system produces the

details that clearly describe how a system will
meet the requirements identified during system
analysis. The system design process is not a step
by step adherence of clear procedures and
guidelines. When I started working on system
design, I face different types of problems; many of
these are due to constraints imposed by the user
or limitations of hardware and software available.
Some times it was quite difficult to enumerate that
complexity of the problems and solutions thereof
since the variety of likely problems is so great and
no solutions are exactly similar however the
following consideration I kept in mind during
design phased.

Design objectives:-

The primary objective of the design is to deliver

the requirements as specified in the feasibility
report. These are the some of the objectives, which
I kept in mind.

 Practicality: The system is quite stable

and can be operated by the people with average
intelligence.

 Efficiency: I tried to involve accuracy,

timeliness and comprehensiveness of the system
output.

 Cost: It is desirable to aim for the system

with a minimum cost subject to the condition that
it must satisfy the entire requirement.

 Flexibility: I have tried that the system

should be modifiable depending on the changing
needs of the user. Such modifications should entail
extensive reconstructing or recreation of software.
It should also be portable to different computer
systems.

 Security: This is very important aspect

which I followed in this designing phase and tried
to covers the areas of hardware reliability, fallback
procedures, and physical security of data.
INITIAL STUDY

INTRODUCTION:

The first step in the Software Development Life

Cycle (SDLC) is the preliminary investigation to
determine the feasibility of the system. The
purpose of the preliminary investigation is to
evaluate project requests. It is not a design study
nor does it include the collection of details to
describe the business system in all aspect. Rather
it is the collection of the information that helps
committee members to evaluate the merits of the
project request and make an informed judgment
about the feasibility of the proposed project.

The preliminary investigation should accomplish

the following objectives.

 Clarify and understand the project

request.

 Determine the size of the project.

  Assess costs and benefits of alternative
approaches.

 Determine the technical and operational

feasibility of alternative approaches.

 Report the findings to management; with

recommendations outlining the acceptance
or rejection of the proposal.

Requirement And Feasibility Analysis

INTRODUCTION:

What Is A Feasibility Study?

Prior to stating whether the system we have to develop
is feasible or not we believe that we should emphasize
on what is implied by the word “Feasibility”. Feasibility
is the measure of how beneficial or practical the
development of the system will be to the organization.
It is a preliminary survey for the systems investigation.
It aims to provide information to facilitate a later in-
depth investigation.

The report produced at the end of the feasibility study

contains suggestions and reasoned arguments to help
management decide whether to commit further
resources to the proposed project.

Within the scheduled duration we were assigned to

study both the positive and negative aspects of the
current manual system, in which we have come up with
a number of drawbacks that prevent the progress of
the clinic if it is continued to function manually.

Having gone through all measures of feasibility we

report to the management to figure out if the
objectives of the new system are met.

For e.g. - Is the system within the budget allowed for it?
 Will the organizations needs, be met by the
new proposed system as

Originally envisaged?

If and when the objectives of the system are met and

the new system is approved, then the more specific
details in the proposal should be considered and
approved.

Types Of Feasibility

There are various measures of feasibility that helps to

decide whether a particular project is feasible or not.
These measures include-

• Operational Feasibility
• Technical Feasibility
• Economical and Financial Feasibility
Each of these types will be explained in detail
throughout the project report.
Operational Feasibility
A proposed system is beneficial only if it can be turned
into an information system that will meet the
operational requirements of an organization. A system
often fails if it does not fit within existing operations
and if users resist the change.

Important issues a systems developer must look into

are:

• Will the new system be used if

implemented in an organization?
• Are there major barriers to
implementation or is proposed system
accepted without destructive resistance?

The whole purpose of computerizing the Placement

System is to handle the work much more accurately
and efficiently with less time consumption. There will
be additional work to be completed, because now the
students and the companies can update their resumes
and profiles online. Their database is maintained
separately.
Compared to the semi-computerized system the
chances of avoiding errors in a computerized system is
much higher because the user need not stress himself
unnecessarily resulting in recklessness. Unlike the
semi-computerized system there would be backup data
for all the information concerning the daily transactions
occurred within the organization.

If we are considering the performance and response

time for each task, it is very much faster since there is
less paper work to be completed. When entering data
into the system to relieve the user from additional work
and typing incorrect data, the system provides options
such as combo boxes, check boxes, option buttons and
etc. if the users type in incorrect data they would be
informed immediately about the error by the error
detection control.

Another important fact to be regarded is the security

control, which is handled by the system. Since data
regarding each student and the company is
confidential, security is a key issue. Information falling
into the wrong hands could jeopardize the entire
organization. Unlike in semi-computerized systems the
proposed system offers adequate control to protect the
organization against fraud and embezzlement and
guarantees the accuracy and security of data and
information. This is handled by the system providing
each department and individuals with separate login
names and passwords.

The new system is more user-friendly, which enables

the end-user to complete his/her work efficiently and
accurately with interest. After taking the above fact into
consideration we can state the operating of the
proposed system within the organization is feasible.

In this phase of the feasibility study the following two

main topics

• Technical Performance Aspect

• Acceptance within the organization

Technical performance aspect is explained in the

technical feasibility report and there is no new
information is needed in this to explain it again, but as
for the acceptance within the organization the following
points are important and those are explained according
to the topics

1. Whether the system provides right information to

the right place.

In the current system which is the semi computerized

system the information may be lost in the process of
sending from one place to another. This is mainly due
to human interaction in the process of the transferring
information from one place to another.

2.Whether the new system affect the current users

in the system

The new proposed system will affect the users in the

following areas

• Accuracy
• Efficiency
• Productivity
• Robustness
 • Lesser time consuming

System Security

System security is a vital aspect when it comes to

developing a system. The system should ensure the
facility of preventing unauthorized personnel from
accessing the information and the data within the
system. The system should provide total protection for
each user’s information so that the integrity of data is
sustained and also prevent hackers from hacking the
system.

The proposed system ensures the security and the

integrity of data. This is done by providing a password
login system for each authorized users. And for
example the System Administrator has access to all
kinds of information.

By providing this facility information is properly

managed and information is protected. For example the
system administrator’s day to day tasks are lessened
and easier because he doesn’t have to have a constant
eye on the system and worry about hackers hacking
the system.

Economical And Financial Feasibility

In making recommendations a study of the economics

of the proposed system should be made. The proposed
system must be justifiable in terms of cost and benefit,
to ensure that the investment in a new/changed system
provide a reasonable return.

Cost-benefit analysis of information is complicated by

the fact that many of the systems cost elements are
poorly defined and that benefit can often be highly
qualitative and subjective in nature.

In our proposed system various costs are evaluated.

Even though finding out the costs of the proposed
project is difficult we and assume and estimate the
costs and benefits as follows.
According to the computerized system we propose, the
costs can be broken down to two categories.

1. Costs associated with the development of

the system.
2. Costs associated with operating the system.

Software Requirement Specification

The software requirement specification is produced

at the culmination of the analysis task. The
function and performance allocated to software as
part of system engineering are refined by
establishing a complete information description, a
detailed functional description, a representation of
system behavior, an indication of performance
requirement and design constraints appropriate
validation criteria, and other information pertinent
to requirement.

The introduction to software requirements

specification states the goals and objectives of the
software, describing it in the context of the
computer based system.

The Information Description provides a detailed

description of the problem that the software must
solve. Information content, flow and structure are
documented.

A description of each function required to solve the

problem is presented in the Functional Description.

Validation Criteria is probably the most important

and ironically the most often neglected section of
the software requirement specification.

Software requirement specification can be used for

different purpose. Here are the major uses.

not clearly understood by the developer. If this is

the case, a careful analysis – involving much
interaction with the user should be devoted to
reaching a clear statement of requirements, in
order to avoid possible misunderstandings.

Sometimes, at the beginning of a project, even the

user has no clear idea of what exactly the desired
product is. Think for instance of user interface , a
user with no previous experience with computer
products may not appreciate the difference
between , say menu driven interaction and a
command line interface. Even an exact formation
of system functions and performance may be
missing an initial description produced by an
inexperienced user.

A statement of the requirements for the

implementation:

Specifications are also used as a reference point

during product implementation. In fact, the
ultimate goal of the implementation is to build a
product that needs specification. Thus the
implementers use specifications during design to
make design decisions and during the verification
activity to check that the implementation compiles
with specifications.

DATABASE DESIGN:

The overall objective in the development of the

database technology has been to treat data as an
organizational resource and as an integrated
whole. Database management system allows data
to be protected and organize separately from other
resources. Database is an integrated collection of
data. The most significant of data as seen by the
programs and data as stored on the direct storage
access storage devices. This is the difference
between logical and physical data. The
organization of data in the database aims to
achieve free major objectives:

Data Integration

Data Integrity

Data Independence
The databases are implemented using a DBMS
package. Each particular DBMS has unique
characteristics and general techniques for
Database Design.

The proposed Management Information System

stores the information relevant for processing in
the Microsoft SQL Server Database. This MS SQL
Server contains tables, where each table is called a
field or column. A table also contains records which
is a set of fields. All records, in a table the same
set of fields with different information. Each table
contains key fields that establish relationships in a
MS SQL server database and how the records are
stored. There are primary key fields that uniquely
identify a record in a table. There are also fields
that contain the primary key from another table
called foreign keys.

It is a known fact that the program cannot be

written until the data are defined, so the database
must be defined. The starting point for this process
is data dictionary. The records data structures and
elements to be stored in each database are
identified and extracted.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The basic system requirements for running this project
are listed below:

• Microsoft Windows 2000 professional, Microsoft

Windows XP Home editions, Microsoft Windows XP
Professional edition

• Sql Server 2005

• Microsoft .net Framework 2.0

• Pentium or equivalent microprocessor(400 MHz or

faster)

• At least 256 MB of RAM

• At least 10MB of free hard disk space

• CDROM

• Video graphics and monitor with at least 800 X 600

resolution
 SCHEMA DESIGN:

INTRODUCTION:
In database design, several views of data must be
considered along with the persons who use them.
In addition to data structuring, where relationships
are reflected between and within entities, we need
to identify the application program’s logical views
of data within an overall logical data structure. The
logical view is what the data look like, regardless of
how they are stored. The physical view is the way
data exist in physical storage. It deals with hoe
data are stored, accessed, or related to other data
in storage.
The schema is the view that helps the DBMS
decide in storage act upon as requested by the
application program.

RELATIONAL MODEL:
Certain rules followed in creating and relating
databases in the relational databases. This governs
how to relate data and prevent redundancy of the
data in the databases. The first set of rules called
relational rules ensures that the database is a
relational database. The second set called the
normalization rules simplifies the database and
reduce the redundancy of the data.

CODE DESIGN
When large volumes of data are being handled, it
is important that the item be identified, stored or
selected easily and quickly. To accomplish this,
each data item must have unique identification
and must be related to other items of the same
type. Codes can provide brief identification of each
item, which replace longer description that would
be more awkward to store and manipulate.
The ability to interrupt codes, evaluate coding
schemes and devices new or improved codes are
important skills for a system analyst. Common
types of codes are:

SEQUENCE CODES:
 A sequence code has no relation to the
characteristics of an item. Here a dictionary is
required. The data is arranged alphabetically and
numbered sequentially. When a new data item is
added it is given the next sequence number. The
advantage of this code is that it has the ability
touched with an unlimited number of digits.

SIGNIFICANT DIGIT CODE:

It is a code in which the number describes
measurable physical characteristics of the item.
ALPHABETIC CODE:
Here, the item are specified by the user of letter
and number combinations,

SELF CHECKING CODE:

It uses a check digit to check the validity of codes.
These types of codes are an important means of
controlling the validity of data that are being
processed.

VALIDATION CHECKS:
A common problem with computer system is that
it is very easy to put incorrect data into them. So
the input data is validated to minimize errors and
data entry. For certain data specific code has been
given and validations are done which enable the
user to enter the required data and correct them if
they have entered wrong codes, e.g. you could
mistype a link name or a URL in a database
resulting in reports being occurred in the wrong
link name. if you put incorrect data into the
computer system then you will get incorrect results
out of it. Processing incorrect inputs will produce
incorrect outputs. This lead to the acronym: GIGO
(Garbage In Garbage Out).
Sometimes incorrect data can actually cause a
computer system to stop work temporarily. This is
a particular problem in batch processing systems
when data may be processed overnights. If
incorrect data stops a batch processing systems
for working then a whole night processing time
may be lost.

People who develop computer systems go to a lot

of trouble to make it difficult for incorrect data to
be entered. The two main techniques used for this
purpose are:

 VERIFICATION
 VALIDATION

VERIFICATION:
A verification check ensures that data i9s correctly
transferred into a computer from the medium that
it was originally stored on. Verification checks are
usually used to check that a data entry worker has
correctly typed information written on a data
collection form into a computer.

Methods of Verification:
The two most common methods of verification are:
On-Screen prompts: After a user has entered
some data it is redisplayed on the screen. The user
is prompted to read the data and confirm that it
has been entered correctly. If the user has entered
any data incorrectly he should response that the
data is inaccurate and retypes the incorrect parts.

 Dual Inputs: This method is used when

data is entered through the keyboard. The data to
be entered is typed in twice by two different
operations. The two copies of data are been
compared, any difference are detected, the
operators will be prompted to retype the sections
that differ until both copies agree.

 VALIDATION:
A validation check is an automatic check made by
computer to ensure that any data entered into the
computer is sensible. A validation check does not
make sure that data has been entered correctly. It
only ensures that data is sensible. For this reason
validation checks are not usually as effective as
verification checks. They can however be carried
out automatically by the computer and therefore
require less work by the computer operators
making them cheaper to use.

Methods of validation:
There are many different methods of validations.
The most appropriate method to use will depend
upon what data is being entered. The most
common methods are listed here.

Presence Checks: checks that data has been

entered into the field and that it has not been left
blank, e.g. checks that Project ID is always entered
into each record in a database of project details.
 Type Checks: checks that an entered
value is of particular type. E.g. checks that a field
is varchar, a number, etc.
Length Checks: checks that an entered value,
e.g. Project ID is no longer than a particular
number of characters.
 Format Checks: Checks that an entered
value has a particular format. E.g. a date must be
consist of “mm-dd-yy” format.
Validation checks can be performed by any piece
of software. If the user tries to do unauthorized
operations the appropriate error messages are
produced by the systems.

DATA DICTIONARY:

In our DFD, we give names to data flows,

processes, and data stores. Although the names
are descriptive of the data, they do not give
details. So the following the DFD, our interest is to
build some structured place to keep details of the
contents of data flow, processes, and data store. A
data dictionary is a structured repository of data
about data. It is a set of rigorous definition of all
DFD data element and data structure.
A data dictionary has many advantages. The most
obvious is documentation; it is valuable reference
in any organization. Another advantage is
improving analyst/user communication by
establishing consistent definition of various
elements, terms and procedures. During
implementation, it serves as a common base
against which programmers who are working on
the system compare data description. Also control
information maintained for each data element is
cross referenced in the data dictionary. E.g.
program that use a given data element are cross
referenced in a data dictionary, which makes it
easy to identify them and make any necessary
changes. Finally, a data dictionary is an important
step in building a database. Most database
management system has a data dictionary as a
standard feature.
INPUT DESIGN:
The input design is the link between the
information system and the user. It comprises
developing specification and procedure for data
preparation and those steps that are necessary to
put transaction data into a usable form for
processing data entry. The activity of putting data
into the computer for processing can be achieved
by instructing the computer to read data from a
written or printed document or it can occur by
having people key data directly into the system.
The design of inputs focuses on controlling the
amount of inputs required, controlling errors,
avoiding delay, avoiding extra steps and keeping
the process simple.

SYSTEM TESTING

INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of system testing is to identify and
correct errors in the candidate system. Testing is
and important element of software quality
assurance ad represents the ultimate review of
specification, design and coding. The increasing
visibility of the software as a system element and
the cost associated with a software failure are
motivated forces for well planned, through testing.

System testing was conducted in order to detect

errors and for comparing then the final system with
the requirement specification reports, i.e. whether
the system meets requirements. During testing the
software was executed with the set of test cases
and the output of programs for the test cases was
evaluated to determine if the program is
performing as it was expected to.
Testing presents an interesting challenge for the
software engineers attempt to build software from
an abstract concept to an acceptable
implementation. In testing engineer create a series
of test cases that occurs when errors are
uncovered. Testing is the process of executing a
program for finding errors. A good test is one that
has the high probability of finding an uncovered
error. A successful error is one that uncovers
undiscovered errors.

The term error is used to refer the difference

between actual output of the software and the
current output. Fault is a condition that causes the
software to fail to perform its required function.
Software reliability is defined as a required
function. Software reliability is defined as the
probability that the software will not undergoes
failures for a specified times under specified
condition. Failure is the inability of a system or a
component to perform a required function
according to its specification. Different levels of
testing were employed for software to make it
error free, fault free and reliable.
Unit Testing:
Unit testing was conducted first. Different modules
of the software were tested against the
specifications produced during design of the
modules. Verification of the code produced during
the coding phase was done. Each module was
tested separately.

Unit testing focuses verification effort on the

smallest unit of software design module. This
uncovers errors within the boundary of a module.
Unit testing is actually White box testing both the
external things as well as the internal codes are
tested. In testing, the interfaces are tested in order
to ensure the proper flow of data in and out of the
module. The boundary testing is done to ensure
that the module keeps the limit of it. All
independent paths are tested to ensure that all
statements are tested at least once. At last the
error path is also tested.

Unit testing comprises the set of tests performed

by an individual programmer prior to integration of
the unit into a larger system. There are four
categories of test that can be performed on a
program unit
 Functional Unit

 Performance Unit

Stress Unit

 Structure Unit

System Testing:

Then system testing was conducted. Here the

entire software system was tested.

The reference document used for this process was

requirement document and the goal was to see if
the software meets its requirements.

System testing includes the thorough testing of the

product. System testing is actually a series of
different tests whose primary purpose is to fully
exercise the computer based system. The tests are
recovery testing: this checks the recovery of the
system when failure occurs. This is to ensure that
there are recovery procedures for error
occurrences.

System testing involves unit testing, integration

testing, acceptance testing. Careful planning and
scheduling are required to ensure that modules will
be available for integration into the evolving
software product when needed. A test plan has the
following steps:

Prepare test plan

 Specify conditions for user acceptance

testing

Prepare test data for program testing

 Prepare test data for transaction path

testing

Plan user testing

 Compile/Assemble program

Prepare job performance aids

Prepare operational documents

Objectives of testing.

First of all objectives should be clear.

 Testing as a process of executing a program with

the intent of finding errors.
 To perform testing, test cases are designed. A test
case is a particular made up of artificial situation
upon which a program is exposed so as to find
errors. So a good test case is one that finds
undiscovered errors.
  If testing is done properly, it uncovers errors and
after fixing those errors we have software that is
being developed according to specifications.

• Using the SQL module the cart can handle very
large product databases.
• Ability to store order information in a secure file
• Ability to order more than one ticket and combo at
a time
• Ability to assign the different seat numbers to
different users.

Online Cinema Ticket Booking Working

The booking information is kept in a text database,

which consists of: combo cost, username, seat type, no
of seats booked, ticket cost and net payable amount to
be paid by the customer. This database is modified
when the user books the ticket.

The customer can be presented with a booking page,

which allows them to add more of the same items or
remove items from the combo items. The booking page
also shows the seat type to be booked, no of seats to
be booked, service charges to be applied, ticketing cost
and net payable amount to the customer.

When the customers have done their booking they will

checkout using the payment information page. This
page collects data about the customer, his bank name,
his credit card number, credit card type, address,
telephone number, mobile number, and CVV
information.

 CONCLUSION OF THE PROJECT

The project has been developed successfully and the

performance of the system has been found satisfactory.
The security has been incorporated as required by any
placement firm. Use of computer helps the user in
reducing the time wasted in non-productive work. It
further helps the user in having immediate access to
the information as well as to share the limited
resources effectively.

User friendly menu driven interface has been provided

to the user to interact with the system. Users can
traverse through the website provided the users have
the access right set. The users can register themselves
through a registration form and then can use the
services of the website.
The system provides an integrated environment for the
customers who are willing to watch movies currently
running in the audi and can also enjoy combo packs
while watching movie.

LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECT

The following are the limitations of the project:

• No Multi-User Support Is Provided

At a time only one user can use the software. In same

companies, the computers are interconnected to form a
network. But this software will work on only one
computer at a time.

• Login Password Is Not Encrypted

The username and password provided to us is not

encrypted properly. Any person that gets to know the
username and password of a user can access his
account. So keep your password safe.

• No Backup And Restore Utilities Are Incorporated

In these times of uncertainties, incorporation of the

facilities of backup and restoration of last details is
necessary. Any computer can crash or become affected
by a virus at any time. So it is imperative to take the
backup of the data, but this software does not provide
this utility.
