Problem Specification


11/42


Problem Specification

In our existing system all the transaction of books are done manually, So

taking more time for a transaction like borrowing a book or returning a book and

also for searching of members and books. Another major disadvantage is that to

preparing the list of books borrowed and the available books in the library will take

more time, currently it is doing as a one day process for verifying all records. So

after conducting the feasibility study we decided to make the manual Library

management system to be computerized.

Some of the problems being faced in manual system are asFollows:-

1. Fast report generation is not possible.2. Tracing a book is difficult.3. Information about issue/return of the books is not

Properly maintained.4. No central database can be created as information is

Not available in database.5. Wastage of paper.6. Take a lot of time to complete the task.7. Problem to face searching a new Book in Book Bank.

Feasibility Study


13/42


Feasibility Study

Whatever we think need not be feasible .It is wise to think about thefeasibility of any problem we undertake. Feasibility is the study of impact, which

happens in the organization by the development of a system. The impact can be

either positive or negative. When the positives nominate the negatives, then the

system is considered feasible. Here the feasibility study can be performed in two

ways such as technical feasibility and Economical Feasibility.

Technical Feasibility:

We can strongly says that it is technically feasible, since there will not be much

difficulty in getting required resources for the development and maintaining the

system as well. All the resources needed for the development of the software as

well as the maintenance of the same is available in the organization here we are

utilizing the resources which are available already.

Economical Feasibility:

Development of this application is highly economically feasible .The

organization needed not spend much m one for the development of t he system

already available. The only thing is to be done is making an environment for the

development with an effective supervision. I f we are doing so , we can attain the

maximum usability of the corresponding resources .Even after the development ,the organization will not be in a condition to invest more in t he organization

.Therefore , the system is economically feasible.

Software RequirementSpecifications


15/42


Functional requirements:

Accession number, roll number and teacher identification must all beunique as they form the primary keys of the respective tables. All new books must be entered in the accession table first, to avoid

problems later. A book must not be deleted from student profile unless and untill she pays

the appropriate fine or the same book. While inserting values in the database, only valid values must be entered.

Data requirements:

The Library Management System shall be required to maintaininformation about its users and books.

It shall store databases for students, teachers and books. The student database stores information about a students roll no, name,

address, course and year. The book database stores information about a book title, author, publisher, cost, bill number, year of publishing and pages. The teacher database stores information about a teachers id, name,

department, and designation, address and telephone number.

Software requirements:

Operating System: Window Xp/98/2000/Vista/7. Turbo C/ C++/DosBox. RAM-512 MB, Intel Pentium.

Services provided to the user

The Library Management System automates the basic library functions to aid inthe day-to-day operations of a library. It supports functions such as issue, return,the very basic functions of searching for a particular book, etc. It also maintainsdata about books about books, teachers, students records that are required duringvarious library operations. The software aims to make the system user friendly andefficient.

The functions that the Library Management System provides are as follows:1. INSERT : This operation is performed when new data needs to be added to

the system, for e.g. when department purchases a new book, the books entryis inserted in the books database. This option has three choices:

a) Book: This choice allows entering data about newly purchased booksinto the books database. The data entered includes books author, title,

publisher, cost and various other fields provided in the form. The datamust be accurate and must be entered in the correct format asindicated in the forms.

b) Teacher: This option is used for entering data for a new teacher in theteachers database. This option is chosen when a teacher joins college. c) Student: This will enter new record for a student in students database.

This option is chosen when a student is enrolled in the college.

2. DELETE: This operation clears the existing records in the variousdatabases. It is used when for e.g. a member leaves college or when book isdisposed of from library. But care must be taken while performing thisoperation and permission taken from the head of library because the systemcould lose any important data.It can be performed on all databases and on three choices are:

a) Book: This will enter a null value for the book whose accessionnumber is entered in the field provided in the respected form. Thisoperation is done when a book is disposed of the library.


34/42


b) Teacher: This will clear the record for a particular teacher whoseidentification number is entered. This option is chosen when a teacher leaves college.

c) Student: This will clear the record for the particular student whoserecord needs to be deleted by entering her roll number in the requiredfield. This option is chosen when a student leaves college.

3. UPDATE: This function updates data in the various records. Thisoperation is supported by all the three entries.

a) Book: This function generally would not be required for updating a books status as that data wouldnt change.

b) Teacher: This will update the data of particular teacher, whose datahas changed like address, phone number, etc. by entering her identification number.

c) Student: This will update the data of student like address, course, etc. by entering students roll number.

4. SEARCH: This function is used to search particular data from thedatabase. This function can search for data related to all thethree entities:

a) Book: To search for a particular book, to know whether it is currentlyavailable in library or not. This can be done by entering value in anyone or more fields in the form to perform the search such as title or author name.

b) Teacher: This will find out the particular teacher who currently hasthe book for which search is being carried out.

c) Student: This will find out the particular student who possesses the particular book.

5. ISSUE: This operation is used for issuing a book to a member of the library.For this operation to be successful the member must meet some criteria likeshe should not have issued books to her maximum limit previously. Allthese checks are done by software. If the operation is successful, then the

system automatically stores the date of issue and the due date by which the book must be returned.

a) Student: When a student loans a book, the entry of the book is storedautomatically in the students da tabase with the due date of that book.

b) Teacher: In case a member of teaching staff loans a book the entry isstored in teachers database with the due date of the book.


35/42


6. RETURN: Using this operation a member returns the items, which sheloaned, from the library back to it. If the book, which is loaned is notreturned within specified time the member ends up as a defaulter and sheis required to pay fine which is calculated automatically by the software.

a) Teacher: It will delete the corresponding entry made in teachersdatabase.

b) Student: It will delete the corresponding entry made in studentsdatabase.

7. DISPLAY: This is used to display each and every record, i.e. record of every book, teacher and student in the library.

a) Book: Record of every book, i.e. its accession number, author name, publisher name, etc.

b) Teacher: Record of every teacher, i.e. her id, department, no. of books issued, etc., who is member of the college library.

c) Student: Record of every student, i.e. her roll number, course, no of books issued, etc., who is member of the college library.

8. EXIT: This takes user out of the application.

Testing


37/42


Testing

It is integral part of any systems development life cycle without which thesystem developed is sure to fail and result in loss of economic and manpower investments besides user s dissatisfaction and downfall of reputation.System testing is the stage of implementation, which aims at ensuring that thesystem works accurately and efficiently before actual operation commences. No

program or system design is perfect, communication between the user and thedesigner is not always complete or clear. All this can result in errors another reasonfor system testing is its utility as a user oriented vehicle before implementation.The application system is worthless if does not meet user needs, thus the systemshould be tested to see whether it meets the user requirements.

Testing here is conducted in bottom up approach as follows:

Module testing: Here testing is done at each module level. Each case has been thoroughly tested to discover pitfalls.

System testing: Here testing is done after all the modules have beenintegrated.

The testing process focuses on the logical intervals of the software ensuringthat all statements have been tested and on functional interval is conducting tests touncover errors and ensure that defined input will produce actual results that agreewith the required results. Program level testing, modules level testing integratedand carried out. There are two major type of testing they are

1) White Box Testing.

2) Black Box Testing.

White Box Testing


38/42


White box some times called Glass box testing is a test case design usesthe control structure of the procedural design to drive test case. Using white boxtesting methods, the following tests where made on the system

A) All independent paths within a module have been exercised once. In our system, ensuring that case was selected and executed checked all case structures.The bugs that were prevailing in some part of the code where fixe

b) All logical decisions were checked for the truth and falsity of the values.

Black box Testing

Black box testing focuses on the functional requirements of the software. This is black box testing enables the software engineering to derive a set of inputconditions that will fully exercise all functional requirements for a program. Black

box testing is not an alternative to white box testing rather it is complementaryapproach that is likely to uncover a different class of errors that white box methodslike..

1) Interface errors

2) Performance in data structure

3) Performance errors

4) Initializing and termination errors
