2.6 EXISTING SYSTEM

The whole pro ess of assigning test and evaluating their s ores after the test,was done manually till date. )ro essing the test paper i.e. he king and distributing respe tive s ores used to take time when the software was not installed.
DISADVANTAGES OF CURRENT SYSTEM

The urrent system is very time onsuming. It is very diffi ult to analy?e the e,am manually. To take e,am of more andidates more invigilators are required but no need of invigilator in ase of on line e,am. =esults are not pre ise as al ulation and evaluations are done manually. The han es of paper leakage are more in urrent system as ompared to proposed system. =esult pro essing takes more time as it is done manually
CHAREACTERSTIC OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

The online test reated for taking online test has following features In omparison to the present system the proposed system will be less time onsuming and is more effi ient. 5nalysis will be very easy in proposed system as it is automated =esult will be very pre ise and a urate and will be de lared in very short span of time be ause al ulation and evaluations are done by the simulator itself. The proposed system is very se ure as no han es of leakage of question paper as it is dependent on the administrator only.

If there is an e,isting system, its defi ien ies are identified. This is a omplished by interviewing users and onsulting with support personnel. The new system requirements are defined in luding addressing any defi ien ies in the e,isting system with spe ifi proposals for improvement. The proposed system is designed. )lans are reated detailing the hardware, operating systems, programming, and se urity issues. The new system is developed. The new omponents and programs must be obtained and installed. 1sers of the system must be trained in its use, and all aspe ts of performan e must be tested. If ne essary, ad0ustments must be made at this stage. The system is put into use. This an be done in various ways. The new system an phased in, a ording to appli ation or lo ation, and the old system gradually repla ed. In some ases, it may be more ost9effe tive to shut down the old system and implement the new system all at on e. *n e the new system is up and running for a while, it should be e,haustively evaluated. -aintenan e must be kept up rigorously at all times.

/.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY

)rior to stating whether the system we have to develop is feasible or not we believe that we should emphasi?e on what is implied by the word H+easibilityI. +easibility is the

!!

measure of how benefi ial or pra ti al the development of the system will be to the organi?ation. It is a preliminary survey for the systems investigation. It aims to provide information to fa ilitate a later in9depth investigation. The report produ ed at the end of the feasibility study ontains suggestions and reasoned arguments to help management de ide whether to ommit further resour es to the proposed pro0e t. +easibility study is done so that an ill9 on eived system is re ogni?ed early in definition phase. During system engineering, however, we on entrate 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.

/.1.1 ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY

5n evaluation of development ost weighted against the ultimate in ome or benefit derived from the developed system. 5mong the most important information ontained in feasibility study is Cost (enefit 5nalysis and assessment of the e onomi 0ustifi ation for a omputer based system pro0e t. Cost (enefit 5nalysis delineates osts for the pro0e t development and weighs them against tangible and intangible be ompli ated by the riteria that vary with the e,pe ted return on investment desired as part of ompany$s strategi plan. In addition, many benefits derived from a omputer9based system are intangible Be.g. better design quality through iterative optimi?ation, in reased ustomer satisfa tion through programmable ontrol et .C5s this is an in9house pro0e t for the ompany, to be used for its own onvenien e and also it is not that big a pro0e t. /o neither it requires a huge amount of money nor any ostly tools or infrastru ture need to be set up for it.

/.1.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY

5 study about the operational aspe ts of the system .The pro0e t is operationally feasible. This pro0e t is being made for the onvenien e of the employers. This system will greatly redu e a huge burden. /o be ause of the above stated advantages the users of the system will not be relu tant at all.

/.1./ TECHNICAL FEASIBILTY

During te hni al analysis, the te hni al merits of the system are studied and at the same time olle ting additional information about performan e, reliability, maintainability and predi tability. Te hni al analysis begins with an assessment of the te hni al viability of the proposed system. J J J 8hat te hnologies are required to a omplished system fun tion and 8hat new materials, methods, algorithms or pro esses are required and what is ;ow will these obtained from te hni al analysis form the basis for another go<no9 performan eK their development riskK go de ision on the test systemK If the te hni al risk is severe, if models indi ate that the desired fun tion annot be a hieved, if the pie es 0ust won$t fit together smoothly9it$s ba k to the drawing board. 5s the software is very mu h e onomi ally feasible, then it is really important for it to be te hni ally sound.

4.5 ABOUT JAVA Aava is an ob0e t9oriented programming language with a built9in appli ation programming interfa e B5)IC that an handle graphi s and user interfa es and that an be used to reate appli ations or applets. (e ause of its ri h set of 5)ILs, similar to -a intosh and 8indows, and its platform independen e, Aava an also be thought of as a platform in itself. Aava also has standard libraries for doing mathemati s. -u h of the synta, of Aava is the same as C and CMM. *ne ma0or differen e is that Aava does not have pointers. ;owever, the biggest differen e is that you must write ob0e t oriented ode in Aava. )ro edural pie es of ode an only be embedded in ob0e ts. In the following we assume that the reader has some familiarity with a programming language. In parti ular, some familiarity with the synta, of C<CMM is useful. In Aava we distinguish between appli ations, whi h are programs that perform the same fun tions as those written in other programming languages, and applets, whi h are programs that an be embedded in a 8eb page and a essed over the Internet. *ur initial

5 database appli ation program is spe ial 9 purpose software that is designed and implemented by user or implemented by third party software ompanies. In ontrast, front9end omponents are general purpose database software designed and implemented by a database ompany or delivered as third9party software. (y using database

appli ation programs and front end omponents, users an manage and query data within the database. The task of a database management system is to manage data stored in a database. In general, a database an be viewed from at least two perspe tives6 the user$s and a D(-/$s. 1sers view a database as a olle tion of data that logi ally belongs together. +or a D(-/, a database is simply is a series of bytes, usually stored on a disk. 5lthough these two views of a database are totally different, they do have something in ommon. The database system not only needs to provide interfa es that enable user to reate databases and retrieve or modify data, but it also needs to provide system omponents to manage the stored data. 5 database system must provide the following features6 5 variety of user interfa es )hysi al Data Independen e .ogi al Data Independen e 2uery *ptimi?ation Data Integrity Con urren y Control (a kup and =e overy /e urity and 5uthori?ation

)hysi al data independen e means that the database appli ation programs are not dependent on the physi al stru ture of the stored data in a database. This important

34

feature makes it possible to make hanges in the stored data without having to make any hanges in database appli ation programs. +or e,ample, if the stored data is previously ordered using one riterion, and if this later should be hanged using another, the modifi ation of the physi al data should not affe t the e,isting database appli ations or e,isting database s hema.

*ne of the tasks of a D(-/ is to identify logi ally in onsistent data and re0e t their storage in a database. 5dditionally, most real9life problems that are implemented using database systems have integrity onstraints that must hold true for the data.

NET6E-N* IDE

6.1 NEED OF NETBEANS IDE

ONe essity is the mother of all inventionsO, goes the old saying. 5lthough Aava has be ome inseparably linked with the Internet, it is important to realise that 0ava is first and foremost a programming language. 5s the omple,ity and demand grew, so did all the omputer languages. /o after C and CMM, the stage was set for Aava. 5fter installing 0dk and 0re, one an e,e ute 0ava appli ations at the ommand prompt. In this feature, it is

3#

important for the programmer to remember all ommands and re olle t them at the appropriate time. IsnLt this all a little tediousK DonLt we like everything at the li k of a buttonK 8e always aim for more ompa t and steady platforms. 5nd all this brings us to onfluen e of ID% and 0ava appli ations onto a single platform. N%T(%5N/ ID%RRR 6D Net(eans is used for making pro0e ts in Aava 5ppli ations, 8eb 5ppli ations, %nterprise 5ppli ations, 8eb /ervi es, =uby 5ppli ations, =i h9Client 5ppli ations. 5 pro0e t is a group of sour e files and the settings with whi h you build, run, and debug those sour e files. In the ID%, all Aava development has to take pla e within a pro0e t. +or appli ations that involve large ode bases, it is often advantageous to split your appli ation sour e ode into several pro0e ts. The ID% builds its pro0e t infrastru ture dire tly on top of 5pa he 5nt, the leading build tool for Aava appli ations. The ID% stores all of the information about your pro0e t in an 5nt s ript, a properties file, and a few :-. onfiguration files. This means that you an build and run your pro0e ts outside of the ID% e,a tly the same as inside the ID%. The ID% in ludes several pro0e t templates designed to support different types of development in luding web appli ations, general Aava appli ations, and so forth. The ID%Ls set of standard pro0e t templates automati ally generate an 5nt s ript and properties. The ID% also ontains free9form pro0e t templates that you an use to base a pro0e t on an e,isting 5nt s ript. In nutshell you an reate bigger files for your pro0e t easily in Net(eans ID% instead of making and writing all the diffi ult ode in notepad. Sou an easily drag and drop the ontent without writing the larger odes. It will automati ally add the ode for that ontent in your ode.

This is the most reative and hallenging phase of the /ystem Development .ife Cy le. The design of the system produ es the detail of the system that state how system will meet the requirements identified during system analysis. developing program software, whi h is referred to as P;'"i!al De"i1n. Designing starts by identifying reports and other outputs, the system will produ e. Then the spe ifi data on ea h are pinpointed. 1sually designer sket h the form or display, as they are to appear when system is omplete. This may be done on a paper or on a Computer Display, using one of the automated system design tool available. The /ystem Design also des ribes the data to input, al ulated or stored individual data items and al ulated pro edures are written in details whi h tell how to pro ess the data N to produ e the output. )hysi al /ystem Design in ludes designing the various physi al omponents su h as 1ser Interfa e Database Designing The system spe ialists often refer to this stage as .ogi al Design, in ontrast to the pro ess of

:.1 DESIGNING THE USER INTERFACE

+ollowing important issues that were kept in mind while designing the 1ser Interfa e6 +oremost among them was that the 1ser Interfa e would be the first ob0e t with whi h the user would intera t. It would be the only ob0e t through whi h he will be able to ommuni ate with and hen e would be able to utili?e its servi es. It should not be omple, interfa e rather it should be as simple as possible, so that it is easy for the user to handle it with minimum efforts.

&'

The various ontrols and options used should be ompatible with a tivities with whi h they are asso iated.

The various ontrols and options been provided through this interfa e should be self9e,planatory by themselves.

It should be highly intera tive so that if the user goes for the wrong option, then it should be able to respond with some notifi ation message.

;en e keeping in mind the various above purposes, a user interfa e was designed whi h would be self9des riptive by itself, and would provide several options N ontrols in order to help the user to utili?e the servi es of pro0e t to its fullest and with ma,imum ease.

;.1 TESTING METHODOLOGY5

Testing is a vital to the su ess of the system. /ystem testing makes a logi al assumption that if all the parts of the system are, the goal will be su essfully a hieved. In testing system behavior is observed. +rom that we determined whether there is a failure or not. ;en e by observing failure of the system, we an dedu e the presen e of fault. (ut note that no error o urs it does not mean there are no faults in the system. That is testing, an only reveal the presen e of fault but not their absen e. Ideally we would like to determine a set of tests ases su h that su essful e,e ution of all of them implies that there are no errors in the program. /imply doing e,haustive testing alone annot bring e ne essary results. Going by riteria to sele t test ases an remove ertain fault. (ut in addition we need to have qui,oti ways of sele ting test ases that will pun tuate the software from unpredi ted angles. The idea of above dis ussion is to illustrate that generally speaking all the faults in a program annot pra ti ally revealed by testing. Due to this limitation and e onomi limitation the goal of test ase sele tion is to sele t the test ases su h that the minimum number of test ases finds the ma,imum number of possible faults.

;.2 ALPHA TESTING5

If the software developed is to be used by many ustomers, it is impra ti al to perform formal a eptan e test with ea h one. -any software builders use a pro ess alled alpha testing to un over errors that only the end user might be able to find. Developer Hlooks over shoulderI and re ords errors and usage problems. Tests ondu ted in a ontrolled environment. )athology .ab /ystem was put on the alpha test in a ontrolled environment and errors the end users ould find was wel omed, like designs, running, proper fun tioning of the system.

;./ BETA TESTING5

The beta test is ondu ted at one or more ustomer$s site by the end user. 1nlike in alpha testing the developer is generally not present. +ormal a eptan e test of produ t is impossible.

;.0 BLAC< BOX TESTING5

(la k bo, testing fo uses on the fun tional requirements of the software. It enables a software engineer to derive sets of input ondition that will fully e,er ise all fun tional requirements for a program. It is a omplementary approa h that is likely to un over a different lass of errors. Testing of a system or omponent whose inputs, outputs and general fun tions are known, but whose ontents or implementation are unknown or irrelevant. (la k bo, testing attempts to find the errors in the following ategories6 In orre t or missing fun tions. Interfa e errors %rrors in the data stru tures or e,ternal databases. )erforman e errors Initiali?ation and termination errors.

;.7 MODULE TESTING5

5 module is a unit of program whi h forms apart of the software performing a spe ifi task. +or e,ample, a module alled a epts patient id is used to perform the task of a epting a valid patient id. -odular systems in orporate olle tions of abstra tions in whi h ea h fun tional abstra tion, ea h data abstra tion and ea h ontrol abstra tion handles a lo al aspe t of the problem being solved. -odular systems onsist of well9 defined, manageable unit with well9defined interfa e among the units. /oftware -odule should have the following riteria6 -odule should ontain instru tions, pro essing logi and data stru tures. -odule an be in luded in a program. -odule an be used invoking a name and some parameters.

-odules an all other modules. +or )athology .ab /ystem module9by9module testing was done.

;.6 SYSTEM TESTING5

/ystem Testing is designed to un over weaknesses that were found in earlier tests. This in ludes for ed system failure and validation of the total system, as its users in the operational environment will implement it. Generally it begins with low volumes of transa tions based on live data. The volume is in reased until the ma,imum level for ea h transa tion type is rea hed. 5 /ystem is tested for online responses, volume of transa tions, stress, re overy from failure and usability. /ystem Testing is a tually a series of tests whose primary purpose is fully e,er ising the omputer9based system. /ystem Testing involves two kinds of a tivities9 Integration and 5 eptan e Testing.

;.= UNIT TESTING8

1nit testing fo uses on verifi ation effort on the smallest unit of software design i.e. the module. 1sing the pro edural design des ription as guide, important ontrol paths are tested to un over errors within the boundary of the module. The relative omple,ity of tests and un overed errors is limited by the onstraint s ope established for unit testing. The unit testing is normally 8hite9bo, oriented and the step an be ondu ted in parallel for multiple modules. 5 program unit is usually small enough that the programmer who developed it an test in great detail and ertainly in greater detail then will be possible when the unit is integrated an evaluating software produ t.

*n e the software is oded and tested, the pa kage is ready for implementation. 1nlike the other phases, there are no standard methodologies for implementation phase but implementation planning is an important a tivity of /D.C. The spe ifi approa h adopted for implementation is largely dependent upon the si?e of the organi?ation, the nature of the appli ation and the standard pra ti es, whi h might have been used throughout the pro0e t.

The following are some standard a tivities, whi h would have been performed6

In"$1 1$#on P 1n5

5n important a tivity in this phase is preparation of installation plan. -u h before the software ould be a tually ready, a detailed plan has to be prepared in terms of hardware pro urement and installation. 8hat ma hines are to be installed at whi h lo ation and at what point of time, provision of the ne essary infrastru ture for the installation of the same, site preparation, arranging any ma hine spe ifi or ommodity software spe ifi training for different ategories of users et . are details whi h would need to be worked out. .ikewise a plan has also got to be made for installation of the software to be implemented.

Data Con2e "ion *t ate1ie"8

Data preparation and onversion is one of the most time a tivities during implementation. /ome of the approa hes used in this are6 onsuming

8hen data is available as part of some e,isting appli ations In su h ases data is generally not re9entered. 5 set of onversion programs is written to onvert e,isting data into a new format. This task gets more ompli ated if oding s hemes are different. This would ne essitate building up of the ne essary look9up files for ode onversion. 8hen appli ation is being automated for the first time here the data entry programs, whi h are a part of the appli ation itself, an be used to enter data. This would be a fairly straightforward and foolproof method, be ause the data entry programs would they take are of all the error he king and validations.

>3

8hen volumes of data are very high, / reen oriented data entry be omes very time onsuming for very large volume data. In these ases it is ommon to use spe ial purpose data entry pa kages to +a ilitate high speeds of data entry by professional data entry operators. 5 suit of programs is then built to validate data thus entered, if ne essary.

P1%1 & R!n5

This is a very ommonly used strategy during implementation. During parallel run, reports and figures being produ ed from the new system an be verified with the old one to ensure that the new system is produ ing the results, as it should. 5lthough the formats and the number of outputs from the two systems are bound to be different, some of the more riti al figures an always be ompared and re on iled. This gives an enormous amount of onfiden e to the users that the new system is indeed a urate.

D#%&c$ I(' &(&n$1$#on5

This is an approa h wherein the new system be omes operational dire tly from day one. This is usually done from the first day of the month or the year. This be omes the ut9off period for the hangeover to the new system. The old systems are dispensed with right away and all personnel are re9deployed to manage and maintain the new system. This strategy is generally adopted for small and medium si?ed appli ations that are not highly riti al.

P)1"&* A''%o1c)5
In ertain ases phased approa h for implementing the software might be found appropriate. In this approa h, it might be de ided to start using some of the modules initially. Typi ally this might be done for data entry, query on databases et . *n e this stabili?es, the other modules pertaining to say on9line pro essing are made fun tional.

U"&% T%1#n#n+5
The su essful implementation of any software is dependent in good measure on the quality of training imparted. Different user groups need to be identified. 5 Training Need 5nalysis has to be done for ea h of these groups to find out what kind

of training is required for ea h. Getting trained on aspe ts that are not relevant may sometimes tend to onfuse the users. /o the training program has to be arefully planned.
