1).PREFACE

Computers are revolutionizing every aspect of our life. The offices

where we work, the stores where we shop, the schools and the colleges

we attend, the banks that handle our money, the devices we use in our

home and in every area of our life are being radically altered by

computers.

Even new inventions & discovery is somehow related to

computers. Computers have changed man‟s life. Besides home shopping

or maintaining records even today computer chips are being implanted in

human‟s body that identifies you uniquely.

Computers usage is growing by leaps and bounds in business,

industry, government, colleges, schools and other institutes .In the

modern era of science and technology as a powerful nation, India is still

lagging behind due to dis-advancement in computer technologies. This

problem can be overcome only when the youth of India of the present

generation give full co-operation in rising India as a powerful nation by

learning more and more computer.

In ever widening modern world, the present system of education is

facing new challenges. It is well known fact that today is the age of

computers. The major achievement of science and technology .Now-a-

days everyone is realizing the importance of computer which of modern

age in fifth generation of computers.

So, realizing this fact and according to time demand when

computers are necessary and important achievement, I have chosen this



professional course M.C.A from Lachoo Memorial College Of Science

& Technology . This course is aimed at making students a complete and

self reliant programmer. We are given all the needed Knowledge about

the structure and the basis of computers at first stage & then study of

various business requirements is involved in the last semester as project

work. Thus candidate is exposed to real time environment. The students

are also given proper knowledge of various computer languages so as to

do programming to change any manual atmosphere to a computerized

system.

They have to work in any organization and have to change a

manually working system in computerized system so that they are able to

understand the problems arising out of such an environment.



2).INTRODUCTION

A Student Portal System is a system like facebook on which user

comment, post, like, edit their profile etc. It is the system that we have

design for a particular organisation eg. College, hospital etc. In this they

make their groups in which users are only the member of the particular

organisation. The overall access of this system is in hands of admin of the

organization.

Proposed System

There is no system for our college site like our Student portal system.

Through, this system every student can interact with college and any student

of college who is active user of this system or the student who is the

authorised user of this system. Moreover the students who are currently not

studying in the college can also join the system simply by making an account

on the student portal system. so, it is so convenient to all students whoever

studied or studying in our college can share ideas and important information

on this system. There are some facilities like facebook which are also

interesting.

1).Admin - The admin is the person of over all controller of student

portal system. Admin perform three tasks mainly:

a).Dashboard maintenance: - In dashboard admin maintain the recordabout the user i.e. the no. of user inactive, no. of user active and total

number of user.

The admin can delete the user , can edit their profile also and have the

power to make the user active and inactive.

b).Add User: - The admin can add the user by himself also to see what

user perform (post,comment,likeor any updation ) on his home page .



c).Logout-He lastly logout.

2).User – User is the person who work on the student portal system and

get interact with the another user. For that he have to perform two tasks:-

a).Signup:-firstly he have to signup for that he have to enter e-mail

,username etc then have to click submit after that by some random

function password is generated and send on the user email-address.

b).Login:- when the user get the password then he is allowed to login

where he can update his profile details, edit them , like , post or comment

on any post. The number of post and comment can be more then one.

Post is of two type – 1) only text 2) text with image

Login maintenance

In this module, login maintenance is being done. Whenever,Admin or a

normal user for login in to his account, it checks for its verification and

validation. After being verified and validated, it allows to enter into hisaccount.

1).User Login Succeed

As the login validation and verification is succeeded, the user has its

account on this site.User can also add photos, or posts and photos and

posts both. Any user can like photo and post and can comment on it also.

2).Admin Login Succeed

As the login validation and verification is succeeded, the admin can

maintain the available active users and inactive users.



Security:-

Student Portal will have following security measure in place.

To restrict access you set up two kinds of tests that candidate users must pass to access some resources: an authentication process, which determines

the user's identity and group membership, and an authorization process,

which decides whether a user has the role membership necessary to

access a particular resource. Once a user has access to a method and the

method executes, it can run under the security role of the user or under a

different security role.

a).The Authentication Process

A candidate user is first tested against the authentication process. The

authentication process is generally a login process, where the candidate

user is asked to provide a email and password. If the candidate succeeds

in passing this challenge, then the user is granted a permission to access

his home page (where he can like, comment, post, edit his profile , etc).

user's principals: think of these principals as a set of credentials that the user

presents when he/she wants to access some resource protected by an

authorization process.

b).The Authorization Process

In the authorization process, users are tested to see if they have been

granted the required role to access the protected resource by the admin. If

they have been active, they can access the resource; if they are inactive,

they are denied access



3).Requirement Specification Document

Overview of the Requirements Specifications Document:-

This document details the requirements of Student Portal

project. The document covers the functional (business) requirements,

technical requirement of the system. The intended users of this document

are the project development team members. Project Leader, Project

Manager and the client project coordinator.

Details of requirements gathering process:-

Studying and working on the different existing site

(www.monsterindia.com), and interviewing with the client helps us to

gather the requirement. Following points describes the activities involved

during the required gathering, the responsibility and the method followed

for the same.

1).Software Requirements

Following software are required for developing Web based application:

I. Operating

System

Windows 7, 2000, XP prof

etc.

II. Environment PHP

III. Front-end Tool Xampp

IV. Technology PHP

V. Versioning

Tools

IIS 6.0.(recommended)



VI. Backend Tool SqlServer2008

VII. Data Access

Tool

ADO.NET

2).Hardware Requirements

It's a web – based project, so a robust hardware configuration is required. The

hardware requirements are:

I. Processor

II. Motherboard

III. RAM

IV. Hard Disk

V. Network Card Standard Ethernet card fornetworking.

VI. I/O Devices Keyboard, mouse and

Color monitor

VII. Wires Twisted pair for

networking.



4).Feasibility Study

The primary objective of the feasibility report is inform the user about

following

What are the problems with manual system?

What are the solutions available to overcome these problems?

What are goals of the new system?

What will be involved in operating system?

The benefits the system will give over manual system.

The estimated cost and implementation.

During system analysis a number of facts must be collected to

determine user requirements and to provide information that will guide in

the design and development of a new information system, the source of

study factors are listed below.

All member of information system steering committee.

Variety of user at all levels throughout the organization.

Stratified sampling of requirements.

Seminars and system literature if any.

Once the problem is clearly understood, the next step is to

conduct feasibility study, which is high level capsule version of the

entered system analysis and design process. The objective is to determine

whether or not the proposed system is feasible. The three test of

feasibility have been carried out.

Economical Feasibility

Technical Feasibility

Behavioural Feasibility



1. Economical Feasibility

Economical analysis is the most frequently used technique for

evaluating the effectiveness of a proposed system. For evaluating the

effectiveness of a candidate system like TIFFIN SERVICE, Economic

analysis is done at all the levels. It includes:

1) Procedure to determine the Benefits

3) Saving that is expected from the system

In present era, the computer system we require will costs more or

less equal to a one month salary of an employee, but this system will

work for us year to year for a long period.

2. Technical Feasibility

In technical feasibility study one has to test whether the

proposed system can be developed using existing technology or not. It is

planned to implement the proposed system using PHP for front end,Sql

Server for back end.

It is evident that the necessary hardware and software are available

for development and implementation of the proposed system. Hence the

solution is technically feasible.

3. Behavioural Feasibility

Behavioural feasibility involves the study and

the evaluation of the reaction of the users for the proposed system.

Estimation should be made of the opposition that the system can face

from the user staff and methods, which can be deployed in order to



minimize this reaction. Motivation techniques and assistance of

supportive staff is arranged, that can play crucial role in this respect.

The organization would easily adapt this proposed system as it is highly

user friendly and they will have no problem working with it. Very little

knowledge is enough for the employee to work on the system. In the

manual system the accuracy was not up to the mark whereas in our

proposed computerized system the accuracy level is very high. We can

say the system will be happily accepted by end-user. And they will

certainly find that using this system is solving the purpose for what the

system was made.

Hence the system is behaviourally feasible.

Since, the proposed system satisfies all the types

of feasibility studies – economical feasibility, technical feasibility and

behavioural feasibility, therefore the system is considered as a feasible

system.



5).System Design

Introduction

Design is the meaningful engineering representation of

something that is to be Built. In the software engineering context, design

focuses on four major area of concern:

Data

Architecture

Interfaces

Component.

Once the software requirements have been analyzed and

specified, software design is the first of three technical activities design,

code generation and test- are required to build and verify the software.

After making software requirement specification of the

cameraonlinestore.com now we are in position to design the software.

As discussed earlier data design is the backbone of any

RDBMS product. So firstly, we are emphasizing on database design. The

data design transforms the information domain model created during

analysis into data structures that will be required to implement the

software.



a).Use-Case Diagram

A use-case diagram in the unified modelling language is atype of behavioural diagram defined by and created from a use-case

analysis its purpose is to present a graphical overview of the functionality

provided by a system in term of actor , their goal, and any dependency

between the use-case .

Use-case diagram depicts :

1). Use-case: a use-case describes a sequence of action that provide

something of measurable value to an actor and is drawn as a horizontal

ellipse .

2).Actor : a actor is a person , organisation or external system that play a

role in one or more interaction with system actor are drawn as stick

figure.

3).Association : association between actor and use-case are indicated in

use-case diagram for solid line and association exist whenever an actor is

involved with an interaction describe by a use-case.

4).System boundary box : you can draw a rectangle around a use-case

call the system boundary box, to indicate the scope of your system

anything within the box represents functionality that is in scope and

anything outside the box is not .

2).User Use-Case Diagram



b).E-R Diagram

An entity relationship diagram, also called entity relationshipmodel, is a graphical representation of entities and their relationships to

each other, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of

data within databases or information systems.

An ER model is an abstract way of describing a database. In the

case of a relational database, which stores data in tables, some of the data

in these tables point to data in other tables - for instance, your entry in the

database could point to several entries for each of the phone numbers that

are yours. The ER model would say that you are an entity, and each

phone number is an entity, and the relationship between you and the

phone numbers is 'has a phone number'. Diagrams created to design these

entities and relationships are called entity – relationship diagrams or ER

diagrams.

c).Data Flow Diagram

The data flow diagram is the graphical representation thatdepicts information flow and transforms that are applied as data move

from input to output. DFD is a model, which gives the insight into the

information domain and functional domain at the same time. DFD is

refined into different levels. The more refined DFD is, more details of the

system are incorporated. In the process of creating a DFD, we decompose

the system into different functional subsystems. The DFD refinementresults in a

Corresponding refinement of data. After going through the

current working process of the department, we can create the Data Flow

Diagram (DFD).

Following is the DFD of the “College-connect.in. We have

redefined the system up to two levels. Each break-up has been numbered

as per the rule of DFD. We have tried to incorporate all the details of the

system but there is some chance of further improvisation because of the

study that is still going on for the project development.



1).Context Level DF

This is the context level D.F.D. of the proposed system

the whole system has been depicted in a single bubble , primary input and

output has been carefully noted and depicted in the way so that

information flow continuity should not be lost in the next level. The

proposed system is shown as a whole process and the Inputs and outputs

are shown with incoming and outgoing arrow from the system.

Fig: Context Level diagram of Student portal



2).1st LEVEL D.F.D:

At this level of D.F.D. all the process together with all the

data stores (tables). It shows the true data flow i.e. how data is actually

flowing in the system .Data is coming from which table and going into

which table is clearly shown by this DFD. This DFD is the main

reference for the development of the system. After understanding the

whole system, The application developer will fall back upon this DFD

during the development phase.

6).Software Testing

Definition

Testing is the process of exercising a software item to detect the

differences between its behavior and the desired behavior as stipulated by

the requirements specifications.

Aim of Testing:

To identify defects existing in the software product.

Provide a practical way to of reducing defects in software andincrease user‟s confidence in developed software.

Various Definition Of Testing Hetzel (1973)

Testing is the process of establishing the confidence that a program

does what it is supposed to do.

Glen Myers (1979)

Testing is the process of executing a program or system with the

intent of finding the errors.

Dijkstra

Testing can demonstrate the presence of bugs, but not their

absence.





Testing Techniques

There are two techniques of testing

Black Box Testing.

White Box Testing.

1).Black Box Testing

An approach to testing where the program is considered as a

„Black - box” also known as “Functional Testing” as Black Box Testing

focuses on functional specifications of software without any knowledge

of internal structure of software.

Objective: T he objective of Black box testing is to ensure about that

software is Functioning correctly.

Black box testing attempts to finding errors in the following

categories: Incorrect or missing function.

Interface errors.

Errors in data structures or external database access.

Behaviour or performance errors.

Initialisations and termination errors.

2).White Box Testing

An approach to testing where the program is considered as

“White-Box” also known as “Structure Testing” as this testing requires

through knowledge of internal structure of the software.

Objective: The objective of White box testing is to exercise all program

statements.



Using white-box testing methods, the software engineer can

derive test cases that:

Guarantee that all independent paths within a module have been

exercised at least once.

Exercise all logical decisions on their true and false sides.

Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational

bounds.

Exercise internal data structures to ensure their validity.

a).Unit Testing

Unit testing is White-Box oriented. This testing approach

uses the component-level design description as a guide; important control

paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module.

Objective: The objective is to test a unit of code (program or set of

programs) using the unit test specifications, after coding is completed.

The simplest approach is to ensure that every statement is exercised at

least once.

b).Integration Testing

Integration testing is a systematic technique for constructing

the program structure while at the same time conducting tests to uncovers

errors associated with interfacing.

Objective: The objective is to prove that the various programs making up

the system are compatible, fit together and the interfaces between the

programs are correct.



After different modules of a system have been coded and unit tested:-

Modules are integrated in steps according to an integration plan.

Partially integrated system is tested at each integration step.

Integration testing can be performed by using the following

approach: -

Non-incremental integration (Big-bang Approach).

Incremental integration.

i).Big-Bang Integration Testing

Big-bang approach is the simplest integration testing approach

.In this approach all components (units) are combined in advance and

then the entire program is tested as a whole. This technique is used only

for very small systems.

ii).Incremental Integration Testing

This is antithesis of the Big-bang approach. In this approach,

the program is constructed and tested in small increments where errors

are easier to isolate and correct; interfaces are more likely to be tested

completely; and a systematic test approach may be applied.

There are various strategies for incremental integration:-

Top-down approach

Bottom-up approach

Mixed integration testing

Regression testing



These are the various steps, which performed during system testing:-

Recovery Testing.

Procedure Testing

Volume Testing

Storage Testing

Security Testing

Stress testing

Performance Testing

Usability Testing

1).Recovery Testing

Testing aimed is to verifying the system ability to recover from

varying degrees of failure.

These test check response to:-

Loss of input capability

Loss of communication lines

Loss of database integrity

Application system failure

Operator mistake.

2).Procedure Testing

Test any procedure prescribed for human such as system operator

or DB administrator or user. It also determined the clarity of

documentation on operation and use of system by having users do exactly

what the manual request.

3).Volume Testing

It addresses handling large amounts of data in the system. It checks



Whether data structures (e.g. queues, stacks, arrays, etc.) are large

enough to handle all possible situations.

Fields, records, and files are stressed to check if their size can

accommodate all possible data volumes.

4).Storage Testing

Storage testing detects the amount of main and secondary

storage requirements of the program .It also determine the capacity of

system to store transaction data on a disk or in other files.

5).Security Testing

Security testing attempts to verify that protection mechanisms

built into a system will, in fact, protect it from improper penetration.

Devise test cases that subvert the program‟s security checks: -

Obtain password

Access idle terminals

Imitate valid users

Guess passwords

Checks permissions of different user groups/users.

Check database security

Create more users than allowed in user groups

6).Stress Testing

Stress testing executes a system in a manner that demands

resources in abnormal quantity, frequency or volume. It imposes

abnormal input in a short time to stress the capabilities of the software.

Input data volume, input data rate, processing time, utilization of

memory, etc. are tested beyond the designed capacity.



7).Performance Testing:

Performance testing is designed to test the run-time

performance of software within the context of an integrated system.

Performance testing occurs throughout all step in testing process.

It often coupled with stress testing and usually require both

hardware and software instrumentation.

8).Usability Testing

Usability testing performed for human factors such as:-

Are outputs meaningful?

Are error diagnostics straightforward?

Does GUI have conformity of syntax, conventions, format, style,

and aberrations?

Is it easy to use?

Exit criteria of Testing

Stop when the scheduled time for testing run out.

Stop when all the planned test cases execute without defects.

Stop when required degree of coverage has been attained.

Stop when particular number of defects has been detected.



7).Advantages

1).Convenient:-

Convenience includes the overall ease of contacting the

people that are near to us within seconds without any expenditure. Online

shopping allows user to post, comment , like each other posts . They are

allowed to post only text and also text with image. This is relevant to

72% of online users that make their contact on social site like facebook ,

twitter etc. In addition to ease of finding friends online is time reduction

process.users can contact without time limitation with 24-hr access at

their convenience because the World Wide Web never closes.

2). No need for vendors and no pressure to buy:-

Student portal system benefits both the society as a whole and

individuals. The society can save human resources when users help

themselves by contacting freely online instead of asking for assistance

from vendors. In addition, consumers are freed from the pressure to

contact from the vendors and can spend more time to make contact within

minutes. But it is important that social sites is good place because it is

one of the place that satisfy users.

3)."Infinite shelf space" available:-

Consumers desire a variety of place to contacts because they

look for the right place that will fully satisfy them. There is variety of

social sites available online because online sites allows users to contact

through sites that are made all around the world without geographical

boundaries.



4).Able to save time with less efforts:-

With the online tools that enable user to contact, users can

contact within minutes and can save time with less effort.

5).Secure:-

As it is only for an organisation it provide a security to user

that is provided by the admin of the organisation. The details of the user

is in hands of admin and which are not introduced to other user.

Disadvantages

1).Only authorised user can access the system:-

As the whole system is controlled by the admin so he is the

only person who decide that who will be in the group . so the person who

is allowed by the admin is permitted to access the system only.

2).No many too choice:-

Although access to a very large number of users is highly

desirable, users have limited list of user to contact as users that are

allowed or added to the system are only of particular organisation.



8).Further Scope

We will records the details of the students who passed outfrom the college in which year and where they are settle now. We can add

the chatting process in which only added user can chat with each other as

in the existing system user can only like, post or comment. security

enhancement is also a major concern in our next phase.We will add the

user after checking his details as now password is randomly generated

and all user are allowed to signup .



9).CONCLUSION

The system has been developed with much care that itis free of errors and at the same time it is efficient and less time

consuming. The important thing is that the system is robust. Avoid

malfunction from outsiders .It goes through all phases of software

development cycle. So product is accurate. Also provision is provided for

future developments in the system.
