3. OVERVIEW

Institute Automation is a web-based application which will help to overcome the above discussed problems

3.1 e-Leave ensures that all the leaves taken and leave requests made are properly monitored, where everybody can apply and view leave records without the hassle and delay of going through the paper work - it's all at your fingertips with anytime, anywhere access. Staff members just have to login into application to apply for leave in which they can specify the number of days, reason for leave and submit to respective HOD. HOD can view leave applications of staff members by logging into application and can decide whether to approve and forward to the principal for final approval or reject it. Either the leave application of staff member is approved by HOD/Principal or rejected; the respective notification is send to the staff member. They can also keep a track of their applied leave, remaining number of leave like medical, casual etc. It also shows the current academic year’s holiday time-table which helps to schedule college exams, festivals, sports etc. This automated process saves time, is easy to use and it doesn’t require any special technical knowledge.

3.2 The student feedback module helps student can give ratings points and their feedback regarding teacher’s teaching skills. They have to give ratings for every teacher in respective semesters. System will automatically calculate the average rating points of all respective teachers and display their status.

This helps to visualize the progress of the teaching department and also each individual teacher.

3.3 The student management module consists of various applications like a student can submit his experiments and assignments online directly to the teacher. They can also chat amongst themselves and with the teachers when needed. This makes the communication between the classes much easier and helps to keep a record of all the happenings of the class

4. ANALYSIS



A proper and accurate analysis has been done before starting a design phase of the system.

4.1 Product Function Overview

This application mainly deals with the administrator access from the server and users can access from any client machine. It includes online application for leave, checking the status of the application, approving the leave, registering the feedback, online chatting among the users.

4.2 User Characteristics

There will be mainly four type of user in application –administrator, Head of the department (HOD), Student and faculties. Administrator is the only person to keep watch of networked client terminals from the server side only. He can do function like:

Add User. Remove User. Administrator message to the Users.. Simultaneously keeping watch of multiple applications. Time flexibility for updates.

4.3 General Characteristics

The client terminal to be watched should have client program installed over there.

4.3.1 Inputs and Outputs

Input: administrator have to sign up as administrator, HOD as HOD and so on. Enter the details, Generate Leave Forms Submit Leave as well as Feedback Form

Output: single terminal screen with proper output.

4.3.2 External Interface Requirements

A user-friendly GUI has been developed which provides effective screens that an Users can easily use.

5. PROJECT DESIGN



Software design is the process by which an agent creates a specification of a software artifact, systems" or "the activity following requirements specification and before programming intended to accomplish goals, using a set of primitive components and subject to constraints. Software design may refer to either "all the activities involved in conceptualizing, framing, implementing, commissioning, and ultimately modifying complex, as a stylized software engineering process. Software design usually involves problem solving and planning a software solution. This includes both low-level component and algorithm design and high-level, architecture design. A proper and accurate analysis has been done before starting a design phase of the system.

5.1 Data Flow Diagram

Designing data is about discovering and completely defining application's data characteristics and processes. Data design is a process of gradual refinement, from the coarse "What data does your application require?" to the precise data structures and processes that provide it.

The process of data design includes identifying the data, defining specific data types and storage mechanisms, and ensuring data integrity by using business rules and other run-time enforcement mechanisms.

7. TECHNOLOGIES USED

7.1 PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as general purpose programming Language. PHP code is interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the resulting web page: PHP commands can be embedded directly into an HTML source document rather than calling an external file to process data. It has also evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications. PHP is free software released under the PHP License. PHP can be deployed on most web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost every operating system and platform, free of charge.

7.2 HTML 5

HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML 4 as of 1997) and, as of December 2012, is a candidate recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but also XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML.

In particular, HTML5 adds many new syntactic features. These include the new <video>, <audio> and <canvas> elements, as well as the integration of scalable vector graphics (SVG) content (that replaces the uses of generic <object> tags) and MathML for mathematical formulas. These features are designed to make it easy to include and handle multimedia and graphical content on the web without having to resort to proprietary plugins and APIs.

7.3 MySQL

MySQL is the world's second most widely used open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.

MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open source projects that require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL.

Cost Effective: MySQL database is an open source system and from everyone to anyone can use it as it is under General Public License.

Cross Platform Operability: It has proved itself in getting installed in all the major platforms such as Linux, Windows, Solaris and so on and at the same time performance has not been affected.

Security: Databases setup on MySQL are very, very secure as all the passwords that are stored are in encrypted form, hence restricting unauthorized access to the database.

7.4 AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)

Ajax is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.

Ajax is not a single technology, but a group of technologies. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information.

8. TEST CASES

8.1 Unit Testing

Unit testing is a procedure used to validate that individual units of source code are working properly. Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code, sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures, are tested to determine if they are fit for use.

System will get list of Users, system can remove the stated client and also add back them.

3Applying for the leave

Leave application will go first to the HOD for approval n then to Principal

Leave application will go first to the HOD for approval n then to Principal.

8.3 System Testing

System testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System testing is performed on the entire system in the context of a Functional Requirement Specification(s) (FRS) and/or a System Requirement Specification (SRS).

System testing on Institute Automation has been performed by implementing the system on 3 PCs with Different Login and User ID’s. All the operations specified above were successfully tested. The entire system (Hardware/Software) is functioning as per objective.

8.3.1 Graphical User Interface testing

Through Graphical User Interface testing (GUI), we have ensured that Eagle Eye meets its written specifications. We have performed GUI testing on different platforms and it works as per the specification, also we have tested every button on the graphical interface which works perfectly as per requirement.

8.3.2 Load Testing

Load testing is the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a system behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating



capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation. We conducted load testing on Institute automation by connecting 20 users at a time. There were no noticeable performance issues on institute automation while performing various operations with clients.

8.3.3 Stress Testing

When the load placed on the system is raised beyond normal usage patterns, in order to test the system's response at unusually high or peak loads, it is known as a stress testing. The load is usually so great that error conditions are the expected result, although no clear boundary exists when an activity ceases to be a load test and becomes a stress test.

10. TASK DISTRIBUTION

The project Institute Automation’s development during the project planning (High Level) includes the list of key deliverables and milestones. To develop the detail project plan, this must be decomposed to produce a list of deliverables that organizes and defines the total work to be accomplished in the project. For each of the major deliverables in the project the work is subdivided into smaller more manageable components.

10.1 Work Breakdown Structure

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a decomposition of all the work necessary to complete a project. A WBS is arranged in a hierarchy and constructed to allow for clear and logical groupings, either by activities or deliverables. The WBS should represent the work identified in the approved Project Scope Statement and serves as an early foundation for effective schedule development and cost estimating. Project managers typically will develop a WBS as a precursor to a detailed project schedule. The WBS should be accompanied by a WBS Dictionary, which lists and defines WBS elements
