Overall Description

2.2.1

Product Perspective Since all the educational organizations have website which provide various

information regarding their organization but not much helpful for student as well as faculty. All organization must to record all the information about student & faculty, library, attendance & results. As the data is huge it is tiresome to keep up the paper work for the same. Therefore it is necessary to provide an online web portal which helps the organizations to retain the complete record of the students & faculties & also provide extra services for student and faculty. There are much more website available to keep the information. But, there is some of the aspect which is unturned till now like online assessment submission, elibrary & chatting facility. Due to this problem we need to develop this website, which provides various services & events for students and faculty & replace all existing websites.

2.4.1.1

Description and Priority

Proposed Database is intended to store, retrieve, update, and manipulate information related to the help centre which include

2.4.1.2

•

Student information

•

Faculty details

Stimulus/Response Sequences

Responses for Administrator: The administrator can Login and Logout. When the Administrator Logs into the help center Application, the system will check for validity of login .If the Login and password are valid, the response to this action is the administrator will be able to modify, view, add, deleting and all other functions that can be performed on the database.

2.5

Other Nonfunctional Requirements

Non-Functional Requirements: Functional requirements specify only working requirements of the system. Non-functional requirements encompass the operating environment requirements specifying the hardware and software required for the proposed system to work as well as the performance and ergonomics requirement.

Page | 14 www.pankajjha.co.nr

2.5.1

Performance Requirements

For the effective performance of the system a minimum of RAM requirement is 512MB or more of OS like XP and 1GB for OS like Vista and Windows 7. The performance would also be affected by the other software installed on the machine. The browsing speed of the Internet Connection would play a crucial role on the performance of the system. Preferable browsing speed would be 1.5Mbps or more. At any instance of time any number of users can access the website and download the information required. 2.5.2

Safety Requirements

The user must have a registered account to use all facility of the website. The administrator account is needed to create the login id and password of normal user, and then the normal user can retrieve the data only. 2.5.3

Security Requirements

We are going to develop a secured database for the Help centre. There are different categories of users namely student, faculty, administrator etc. Depending upon the category of user the access rights are decided. It means if the user is an administrator then he can be able to modify the data, delete, append etc. All other users only have the rights to retrieve the information about database. User ID and Password is asked to confirm that the User is the authenticate person. The safety part of the system will be based on the facilities provided by the OS and the inherent security features provided by the operating system.

Analysis

3.1

Methodology Used

We are using object oriented approach in developing this application. The key ideas of the object oriented approach are: •

Objects

•

Encapsulation

•

Class and Inheritance

•

Instances and Instantiation

•

Methods and Messages

One of the main principles in the object oriented (OO) approach is that of abstraction, not of data structures and processes separately but both together. In developing our project, we have created different classes and defined methods for them which are called through objects. We have defined the structure of an object to represent student and then a new object for faculty.

3.2

Use Case Diagram

A Use Case Diagram is a type of behavioral diagram defined by the UML and created from a Use Case analysis. It shows the system’s use cases as icons, and their relationships to other use cases and the actors of the system. It also displays the relationship among actors and use cases.

Design

4.1

Architectural Design

4.1.1

System Architecture Diagram

4.1.2. Description of Architectural Design •

System architecture represents the necessary strategic design decisions sufficient to form that system.

•

A stable architecture is essential to every successful system for two reasons.

•

First, the creation of a stable architecture helps drive the highest risks out of the project.

•

Second, the presence of a stable architecture provides the basis upon which the system may be continuously evolved with minimal scrap and rework.

•

In web application development, three-tier architecture refers to separating the application process into three specific layers.

•

4.2

It improves performance and scalability

Database Design

Microsoft SQL Server data is stored in Database. The data in a database is organized into the logical components visible to users. A database is also physically implemented as two or

Page | 27 www.pankajjha.co.nr

more files on disk. When using a database, you work primarily with the logical components such as tables, views, procedures and users. The physical implementation of files is largely transparent. Typically, only the database administrator needs to work with the physical implementation. Each instance of SQL Server has four system databases (masters, model, tempdb, and msdb) and one or more user database. Some organizations have only one user database, containing all the database for their organization. Some organizations have different databases for each group in their organization, and sometimes a database used by a single application. For example, an organization could have one database for recording uploaded documents, one to maintain downloaded documents and so on. Sometimes, an application uses only one database, other applications may access several databases. When connecting to an instance of SQL Server your connection is associated with a particular database on the server. This database is called the Current Database. You are usually connected to a database defined as your default database by the system administrator. SQL Server allows you to detach databases from an instance of SQL Server, then reattach them to another instance, or even attach the database back to the same instance. If you have a SQL Server database file, you can tell SQL Server when you connect to attach that database file with a specific database name. 4.2.1

Interface Design:

Interface Design focuses on three areas of concern:  The design of interfaces between website components.  The design of interfaces between the website and other non-human producers and consumers of information.  The design of the interface between a human and the computer. User interface design creates an effective communication medium between a human and a computer following a set of interface design principles, design identities interface objects and actions and then creates a screen layout that forms the basis for a user interface prototype. A website developer designs the user interface by applying an iterative process that draws on

Page | 28 www.pankajjha.co.nr

predefined design principles. It begins with the identification of user, task, and environment requirements. The golden rules for the interface design: a) Place the user control Provide for flexible interaction.  Hide technical internals from the casual user.  Allow user interaction to be interruptible and undoable.  Streamlined interaction as skills level advance and allow the interaction to be customized.  Design for direct interaction with objects that appear in the screen. b) Reduce the user’s memory load Reduce demand on short term memory.  Establish meaningful defaults.  Disclose information in a progressive fashion  Defined shortcuts that is intuitive.  The visual layout of the interface should be based on a real world metaphor. c) Make the interface consistent  Allow the user to put the current task into a meaningful context.  Maintain consistency across a family of application. 4.2.2

Implementation

5.1

Language and database system used for the implementation

Scripting language used is C#: •

C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.

•

C# is more type safe than C++. The only implicit conversions by default are those which are considered safe, such as widening of integers and conversion from a derived type to a base type.

Database System used is Microsoft SQL Server 2000: •

It is a full-featured relational database management system (RDBMS) that offers a variety of administrative tools to ease the burdens of database development, maintenance and administration.

•

It optimizes queries efficiently, it fine tunes the indexes, it performs efficient transactions build efficient stored procedures and analyze the execution plans.

5.2

Features of language and database used for the system

Main Features of C# •

C# supports Data Encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces.

•

(int, float, double) are not objects in java but C# has introduces structures(structs) which enable the primitive types to become objects int i=1; string a=i.Tostring(); //conversion (or) Boxing

Scalable and Updatable •

.NET has introduced assemblies, which are self-describing by means of their manifest. Manifest establishes the assembly identity, version, culture and digital signature etc. Assemblies need not to be register anywhere. \

Page | 34 www.pankajjha.co.nr

•

To scale our application we delete the old files and updating them with new ones. No registering of dynamic linking library.

•

Updating software components is an error prone task. Revisions made to the code can affect the existing program C# support versioning in the language. Native support for interfaces and method overriding enable complex frame works to be developed and evolved over time.

Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 features include: •

Ease of installation, deployment, and use. SQL Server 2000 includes a set of administrative and development tools that improve upon the process of installing, deploying, managing, and using SQL Server across several sites. SQL Server 2000 also supports a standards-based programming model integrated with the Windows DNA, making the use of SQL Server databases and data warehouses a seamless part of building powerful and scalable systems. These features allow you to rapidly deliver SQL Server applications that customers can implement with a minimum of installation and administrative overhead.

•

Data warehousing SQL Server 2000 includes tools for extracting and analyzing summary data for online analytical processing. SQL Server also includes tools for visually designing databases and analyzing data using English-based questions.

5.3

Reason for selecting database and language used

The choice of C# and sql server 2000 is one of subjective preference. Advantage of C#: •

While many would argue that C++ is object-oriented, C# goes to another level. Even simple data types can be treated as objects, meaning that an int has methods associated with it

•

C# attempts to simplify the syntax to be more consistent and more logical while also removing some of the more complex features of C++. For example, C# does away

Page | 35 www.pankajjha.co.nr

with pointers. As a type-safe language, C# doesn't allow direct memory manipulation, so pointers are no longer needed in C#. •

C# has the ability to allow you to interoperate with any other language on the .NET platform. C# also supports the concept of error handling across different languages.

Advantage of Server 2000: •

5.4

SQL Server 2000 is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage

Testing

6.1

White box Testing

White box testing also called as Glass Box Testing, is a test case design method that uses the control structure of procedural design to derive test cases logical paths through the s/w are tested by providing test cases that exercise specific sets of conditions and/or loops.

6.2

Black Box Testing

It alludes to test that are conducted at the s/w interface it is used to demonstrate that s/w functions are operational , input is properly accepted and output is correctly produced and the integrity of external information is maintained. It examine fundamental aspect of system with little regard for the internal logical structure of the s/w it is also called Behavioral testing. It enables the s/w engineering to derive sets of input conditions that will fully exercise all functional requirement of program. It attempts to find error in following categories:

6.3

•

Incorrect or missing function.

•

Interface Errors.

•

Error in a Data structure or external database access.

•

Behavioral or performance error.

•

Initialization and termination error.
