Project Report

PREFACE

I have undertaken training at New Holland Fiat (India) Pvt. Ltd., Greater Noida

from July 2010 – Dec. 2010 and worked on Transaction and Report Modules

for the Common Business Unit (CBU) System.

As with any project, documentation forms an integral part of this

project too. Documentation plays a vital role in the Software Engineering

Process in satisfying the future queries of the user and in the efficient

maintenance of the application. Hence this report serves as a detailed

documentation for this system.

It has been taken care that this document elicits the system

development process in a lucid and an understandable manner. The

contents have been divided into segments, all of which have been explained

in detail in the following pages. I have tried my best to elucidate all the

relevant details of the project to be included in the report. While in the

beginning I have given a general view of the project, to make it clearer, in

the later stages, I have included the portion that was specifically assigned

to me and also described where that part is actually being used.

1.2.2 SQL Server Reporting Services

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is an enterprise reporting platform supporting traditional paper-based reports and interactive reports delivered over the Web or through custom applications. SSRS is data-source independent. Multidimensional sources and hierarchical sources of reports can also be used.

The Report Server Service, which is the server-side component, hosts reports in a variety of formats, including Microsoft Excel Worksheets and Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The server component is managed through a Web services infrastructure accessible using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The client consuming the report might be as simple as a Web browser pointing to a Report Server URL. Reporting Services also has an API that allows reports to be embedded in other applications.

Reporting server - This is the New Holland Tractor (NHT) reporting database where performance metrics samples are gathered and aggregated over a period of time.

2.8 Present Status of Organisation

2.1 Company Perspectives

The mission: To be a customer-driven organization, flexible, agile and

innovative, with our people, dealers, suppliers and partners working

together with pride to be the best globally positioned company in the

agricultural and industrial equipment business. This is New Holland's

mission--the mission of a truly global company, present around the world

through its production plants, research and development centers, industrial

and commercial joint ventures, and worldwide dealer network. New Holland

offers one of the widest, most flexible ranges of agricultural machinery and

industrial equipment. This outstanding commitment stems directly from its

worldwide industrial and design skills, and a market approach which begins

and ends with the customers.

2.2 History

New Holland N.V. is one of the world's leading manufacturers and

distributors of agricultural equipment and a major producer of construction

8

equipment. The company is the market leader in Europe and many parts of

Latin America and Asia and ranks third in the North American tractor

market. New Holland was formed through the 1991 merger of Fiat Geotech

S.p.A. and Ford New Holland, Inc., both of which had grown into industry

giants over nearly a century of product and sales expansion and timely

acquisitions. Fiat Geotech S.p.A. continues to hold a 69 percent ownership

interest in New Holland, having sold the other 31 percent in a 1996 initial

public offering. New Holland currently operates 18 production sites in 24

countries, as well as 13 engineering centers around the world. More than

1.5 million New Holland machines are now engaged in agricultural and

industrial work somewhere on Earth.

2.2.1 Company Origins

New Holland's roots can be traced back to 1895, when handyman Abe

Zimmerman made his first feed mill at his New Holland, Pennsylvania repair

shop. Zimmerman soon began making other agricultural products as well.

He called his operation the New Holland Machine Company and

incorporated it in 1903, the same year Henry Ford incorporated the

automobile company he had started up in Detroit. Ford came out with the

prototype for the world's first mass produced agricultural tractor in 1907,

and ten years later the tractor, known as the Fordson Model F, went into

actual production. Decades later, these two fledgling operations would

become linked.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Italian auto maker Fiat was developing a

tractor of its own. That company's efforts resulted in the development of the

702, Fiat's first mass produced tractor, which hit the market in 1919. In

Belgium, another company, Claeys, was entering the picture. Founded in

1906, Claeys began manufacturing harvesting equipment in 1910. Back in

the United States, Zimmerman's New Holland company was also thriving. It

9

continued to do well until about 1930, when the Great Depression began to

hit rural America hard. As farm income plummeted, so did New Holland's

revenue.

2.2.2 Sperry Takes Over in 1947

After about a decade of struggle, New Holland was purchased by a group of

four investors. The new owners were able to turn the company around

quickly by introducing a new product, the world's first successful automatic

pick-up, self-tying hay baler. The baler, invented by local thresherman Ed

Nolt, was an instant hit among farmers. It almost singlehandedly put New

Holland back on solid footing. In fact, the company has continued to

manufacture updated models of the baler ever since.

In 1947 New Holland Machine Company was acquired by electronics

specialist Sperry Corporation, creating a subsidiary dubbed Sperry New

Holland. In the years that followed, Sperry New Holland developed and

manufactured a large number of agricultural machines. In particular, the

company carved out a niche as a producer of high-quality harvesting

equipment. Things were also developing quickly in the European

agricultural equipment industry during this period. In 1952 Claeys unveiled

the first European self-propelled combine harvester. By the early 1960s,

Claeys was one of the biggest combine manufacturers in Europe. Sperry

New Holland bought a major interest in Claeys in 1964. The same year,

Sperry New Holland made a major breakthrough in hay harvesting

technology with the introduction of the haybine mower-conditioner, model

460. This machine was capable of performing tasks that previously required

two or three separate pieces of equipment. New Holland would go on to

revolutionize harvesting equipment in 1974, with the introduction of the

world's first twin rotor combine.

As the 1960s continued, Fiat became increasingly active in the manufacture

of equipment for agriculture and construction. Late in the decade, that

10

company created a Tractor and Earthmoving Machinery Division. Fiat's

earthmoving segment was moved into its own subsidiary, Fiat Macchine

Movimento Terra S.p.A., in 1970. Fiat continued to move further into heavy

equipment through the 1970s. In 1974 Fiat Macchine Movimento Terra

launched a joint venture with American manufacturer Allis Chalmers

Corporation, called Fiat-Allis. That year also marked the creation of the

company's Fiat Trattori S.p.A. subsidiary. Fiat finally gained entry into the

North American market in 1977, with the acquisition of Hesston, a Kansas-

based manufacturer of hay and forage machinery. Fiat also purchased

Agrifull, a small-sized tractor manufacturer, that year. In 1984 Fiat

consolidated all of its agricultural machinery manufacturing under the

umbrella of Fiatagri, the new name for Fiat Trattori.

2.2.3 The 1980s Belong to Ford

All the while, Ford was also becoming a global force in agricultural

equipment. Its Ford Tractor division had been responsible for a number of

industry breakthroughs, including the use of rubber pneumatic tires, power

hydraulics, diesel engines, and the three-point hitch. Ford's inexpensive

tractors had been largely responsible for the replacement of horses and

mules by machines on United States farms over the first several decades of

the 20th century. By 1985 Ford Tractor had 9,000 employees, about one

third of them located in North America, and 5,000 dealers worldwide, again

about a third of them in the United States.

In 1986 Ford purchased Sperry New Holland and merged it with its Ford

Tractor Operations to create a new company, Ford New Holland, Inc. By

this time New Holland had grown to become one of the best performing

companies in the farm equipment business, with 2,500 dealers and more

than 9,000 employees of its own, working in 100 different countries. The

merger was part of an overall consolidation taking place in the farm

equipment industry at the time, a period that saw Tenneco, the parent

company of the J.I. Case tractor and farm implement operation, take over

11

the farm implement business of International Harvester. With combined

annual sales of $2 billion, the new company made Ford the third largest

farm equipment manufacturer in the world. Most of Ford Tractor's

executives and managers were moved over to New Holland's Pennsylvania

offices, which became Ford New Holland's corporate headquarters. Within

months of this merger, Ford New Holland added on the agricultural division

of Versatile Farm and Equipment Co., an agricultural equipment

manufacturer that had been founded in Canada in 1947. The combination of

Ford's tractors, New Holland's harvesters, and Versatile's large four-wheel-

drive machines created a company that produced a wide spectrum of

agricultural equipment, and, best of all, there was almost no overlap in what

the three entities manufactured and, therefore, little pruning to be done

once they were united. One of the few major changes at New Holland was

the gradual elimination of its company-store system. Between 1987 and

1989, New Holland's 53 company-owned outlets were sold off or closed, in

favor of a dealer development program that provided training and

assistance for independent dealers.

Back in Europe, changes were also taking place at Fiat. In 1988 the

activities of Fiat-Allis and Fiatagri were merged to form a new company,

FiatGeotech S.p.A., which now encompassed Fiat's entire farm and

earthmoving equipment sector. By the end of the 1980s, Fiat was Europe's

leading manufacturer of tractors and hay and forage equipment.

FiatGeotech's revenue for 1989 was $2.3 billion.

2.2.4 1990s: The Fiat Era

By 1990 Ford New Holland had 17,000 employees, revenue of $2.8 billion,

and plants in the United States, Canada, Belgium, England, and Brazil, plus

joint ventures in India, Pakistan, Japan, Mexico, and Venezuela. In 1991 Fiat

purchased 80 percent interest in Ford New Holland. Ford New Holland was

12

merged with FiatGeotech to create a huge new industrial equipment entity

dubbed N.H. Geotech--though its North American operation kept the name

Ford New Holland for the time being. The purchase surprised nobody in the

industry, since Ford had been looking for a buyer for its tractor operation

for the better part of a decade. The new international behemoth,

headquartered in London, instantly became the world's largest producer of

tractors and haying equipment, the second largest producer of combines,

and one of the largest producers of diesel engines.

Between 1991 and 1993, the company undertook a number of measures

designed to better integrate its many pieces into a coherent whole. Among

the goals of this group of projects were a reduction in the time needed to

bring new products to market and to focus manufacturing operations on

core components. The company's supply chain was also streamlined. N.H.

Geotech changed its name to New Holland N.V. in January 1993, although

the company's North American operation stuck with the Ford New Holland

moniker for two more years. The year 1993 also brought the introduction of

the company's Genesis line of 140- to 210-horsepower tractors. The Genesis

line proved so popular that it took only a little more than two years to sell

10,000 of them.

New Holland made the completion of its integration process official at its

1994 worldwide convention, at which the company unveiled its new

corporate identity and logo. For that year, the company reported net income

of $355 million on sales of $4.7 billion. Fiat eventually acquired the other 20

percent of New Holland previously owned by Ford, and in 1995, the 100th

anniversary of the New Holland brand name, Ford New Holland was

rechristened New Holland North America.

Operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat, New Holland brought in

just more than $5 billion in sales in 1995. By this time, the company

controlled 21 percent of the world market for agricultural tractors, 17

percent of the world market for combines, 42 percent of the market for

13

forage harvesters, and significant shares of the world markets for just about

every other category of agricultural or construction equipment one could

name.

2.2.4 An IPO in 1996

By 1996 New Holland was selling about 280 different products in 130

countries around the world. Globally, 5,600 dealers were selling the

company's agricultural equipment and 250 were peddling its construction

machinery. During the last quarter of that year, Fiat sold 31 percent of New

Holland's stock, 46.5 million common shares, to the public at $21.50 per

share, to raise capital to bolster its sagging core automobile business. On

November 1, the first day New Holland stock was traded on the New York

Stock Exchange, it was the most heavily traded stock on the market.

In addition to the stock offering, 1996 also brought a number of

technological innovations and new product unveilings as well. New

Holland's new E-Series backhoe-loaders were chosen by Construction

Equipment magazine as one of the construction industry's 100 most

significant products. The company also introduced several new tractor lines,

four Roll-Best round balers, and two large self-propelled forage harvesters.

New Holland was also active in conducting research on futuristic, driverless

machines. Working with NASA and Carnegie Mellon University as part of

the NASA Robotics Engineering Consortium, New Holland created a

prototype of a self-propelled windrower that cuts, conditions, and puts

alfalfa into windrows without requiring a human operator. One further 1996

development at New Holland was the appointment of former U.S. Treasury

Secretary and Vice-Presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen as its chairman of

the board.

In July 1997, the 25,000th New Holland Twin Rotor combine rolled off the

company's Grand Island, Nebraska assembly line. As the year continued, the

company announced the creation of a new Boomer line of light diesel

14

tractors, including four brand new models. Building on its longstanding

philosophy of manufacturing products close to where they are sold, the

company moved production of the light tractors from Japan to a new facility

in Dublin, Georgia. The launch of the Boomer line reflected New Holland's

commitment to the production of the kind of compact but powerful

machines sought by customers for a variety of off-highway uses. The

company is determined to continue developing new products designed to

meet the ever-changing needs expressed by its dealers and customers.

3.3 Architectural Goals

32

3.1 CBU Components

CBU systems can vary significantly in their user configuration depending on a type of users. Administrator provides the access permissions to the users according to their standing levels. The user configuration includes the type of users as follows:

Administrator CBU Manager Finance Dealer

CBU systems rely on a number of common components or processes. The following list includes many of the potential components and processes seen typically:

Website design and hosting Firewall configuration and management Network administration Security management CBU server E-commerce applications (e.g., AOP, MOP, Sales Order) Internal network servers Core processing system Automated decision support systems

33

These components work together to deliver CBU services. Each component represents a control point to consider. Through a combination of internal and outsourced solutions, management has many alternatives when determining the overall system configuration for the various components of an CBU system. While the company does not have to manage the daily administration of these component systems, its management and board remain responsible for the content, performance, and security of the CBU system.

3.2 Design Process

The main purpose of this application is to do the data analysis and

reporting for the various business functions. Eg. In sales modules, Payment

at different level like Zone, CBU, Dealer. Visual Studio .NET v1.0 would be

used to develop the application front-end, while SQL Server 2008 would be

used as database. Only the authorized person who has the Admin Role can

access the admin screens to add, modify and delete the content of the

intranet site dynamically.

As a part of the design methodology used for developing the application,

following steps were carried out.

Identification of Database level parameters

This involves identification of the following items:

Servers - single server application

Server IP Address or DNS name for mails with URLs

Path – Dependencies on File Path

Title – A meaningful title for the database for easy identification

and categorization in database catalog

Identification of User Screens

34

This involves identification of the following items:

Actions for users depending on role for each form

Validation logic

Form Aliases

Form Level Security

Process for the file de-attachment

3.3 Architectural Goals

The architecture goals for the application could be outlined as follows:

Enforce Reusability to develop reusable, reliable and tested

components, which can be improved incrementally.

Decompose functionality to facilitate modularity and better

maintainability.

To ensure that all dependencies on external system can either be

configured without changes to code base or little bit changes to

code base. Also to ensure that all URLs are relative and not

include either the server or the file path of the database.

Ensure extensibility to support addition of new functionality to

keep up with business growth. Provide for Concurrent access by

multiple users to different parts of the application.

Enforce security to protect sensitive data.

4.3 Technical Facts

Microsoft .NET Compact Framework

.NET compact framework is a sub set of entire .NET framework and is targeted at mobile devices having some client side resources. It provides support for managed code and XML Web services. Currently, .NET Compact Framework is in Beta 1 and is available on devices running the Windows CE or Windows CE .NET operating systems. However, Microsoft has promised support for other platforms in the future. As of now the framework supports Visual Basic.NET and C# as development languages out of the box. Support

41

for other languages is planned in near future. Microsoft is creating a set of extensions for Visual Studio .NET called Smart Device Extensions that will allow Visual Studio .NET developers to program for .NET Compact Framework. This means that developers familiar with Visual Studio.NET can start developing for mobile devices almost instantly.

Features of .NET

Now that we know some basics of .NET, let us see what makes .NET a wonderfulplatform for developing modern applications.

• Rich Functionality out of the box.NET framework provides a rich set of functionality out of the box. It contains hundreds of classes that provide variety of functionality ready to use in your applications. This means that as a developer you need not go into low level details of many operations such as file IO, network communication and so on.

• Easy development of web applicationsASP.NET is a technology available on .NET platform for developing dynamic and data driven web applications. ASP.NET provides an event driven programming model (similar to Visual Basic 6 that simplify development of web pages (now called as web forms) with complex user interface. ASP.NET server controls provide advanced user interface elements (like calendar and grids) that save lot of coding from programmer’s side.

• OOPs SupportThe advantages of Object Oriented programming are well known. .NET provides a fully object oriented environment. The philosophy of .NET is – “Object is mother of all.” Languages like Visual Basic.NET now support many of the OO features that were lacking traditionally. Even primitive types like integer and characters can be treated as objects – something not available even in OO languages like C++.

• Multi-Language SupportGenerally enterprises have varying skill sets. For example, a company might have people with skills in Visual Basic, C++, and Java etc. It is an experience that whenever a new language or environment is invented existing skills are outdated. This naturally increases cost of training and learning curve. .NET provides something attractive in this area. It supports

42

multiple languages. This means that if you have skills in C++, you need not throw them but just mould them to suit .NET environment. Currently four languages are available right out of the box namely – Visual Basic.NET, C# (pronounced as C-sharp), Jscript.NET and Managed C++ (a dialect of Visual C++). There are many vendors that are working on developing language compilers for other languages (20+ language compilers are already available). The beauty of multi language support lies in the fact that even though the syntax of each language is different, the basic capabilities of each language remain at par with one another.

• Multi-Device SupportModern lift style is increasingly embracing mobile and wireless devices such as PDAs, mobiles and handheld PCs. . . .NET provides promising platform for programming such devices. .NET Compact Framework and Mobile Internet Toolkit are step ahead in this direction.

• Automatic memory managementWhile developing applications developers had to develop an eye on system resources like memory. Memory leaks were major reason in failure of applications. .NET takes this worry away from developer by handling memory on its own. The garbage collector takes care of freeing unused objects at appropriate intervals.

• Compatibility with COM and COM+Before the introduction of .NET, COM was the de-facto standard for componentized software development. Companies have invested lot of money and efforts in developing COM components and controls. The good news is – you can still use COM components and ActiveX controls under .NET. This allows you to use your existing investment in .NET applications. .NET still relies on COM+ for features like transaction management and object pooling. In fact it provides enhanced declarative support for configuring COM+ application right from your source code. Your COM+ knowledge still remains as a valuable asset.

• No more DLL HellIf you have worked with COM components, you probably are aware of “DLL hell”. DLL conflicts are a common fact in COM world. The main reason behind this was the philosophy of COM – “one version of component across machine”. Also, COM components require registration in the system registry. .NET ends this DLL hell by allowing applications to use their own copy of dependent DLLs. Also, .NET components do not require any kind of registration in system registry.

• Strong XML support

43

Now days it is hard to find a programmer who is unaware of XML. XML has gained such a strong industry support that almost all the vendors have released some kind of upgrades or patches to their existing software to make it “XML compatible”. Currently, .NET is the only platform that has built with XML right into the core framework. .NET tries to harness power of XML in every possible way. In addition to providing support for manipulating and transforming XML documents, .NET provides XML web services that are based on standards like HTTP, XML and SOAP.

• Ease of deployment and configurationDeploying windows applications especially that used COM components were always been a tedious task. Since .NET does not require any registration as such, much of the deployment is simplified. This makes XCOPY deployment viable. Configuration is another area where .NET – especially ASP.NET – shines over traditional languages. The configuration is done via special files having special XML vocabulary. Since, most of the configuration is done via configuration files, there is no need to sit in front of actual machine and configure the application manually. This is more important for web applications; simply FTPing new configuration file makes necessary changes.

• SecurityWindows platform was always criticized for poor security mechanisms. Microsoft has taken great efforts to make .NET platform safe and secure for enterprise applications. Features such as type safety, code access security and role based authentication make overall application more robust and secure.

4.3.1 Understanding the .NET Platform and its layers

Here in this section we will be covering what the .NET Platform is made up of and we will define its layers. To start, .NET is a framework that covers all the layers of software development above the Operating System. It provides the richest level of integration among presentation technologies, component technologies, and data technologies ever seen on Microsoft, or perhaps any, platform. Secondly, the entire architecture has been created to make it easy to develop Internet applications, as it is to develop for the desktop.

Constituents of .NET PlatformThe .NET consists of the following three main parts

44

• .NET Framework – a completely re-engineered development environment.• .NET Products – applications from MS based on the .NET platform, including Office and Visual Studio.• .NET Services – facilitates 3rd party developers to create services on the .NET Platform.

6.2 System Architecture

CBU System is a Client-Server based distributed Application. The most important

aspect of distributed applications is the logical partitioning of an application into

three fundamental layers:

Presentation

Business logic

Data Source

61

A simple distributed application model consists of a client that communicates with the middle layer, which itself consists of the application server and an application containing the business logic. The application, in turn, communicates with a database that supplies and stores data.

The following sections describe the functionality of the each layer in detail:

Presentation

Also called the Client tier, this layer consists of the front end user interfaces, which act as a medium between the system and the user. These screens have very high user interaction and hence must have a good look-n-feel and ease of navigation. Web clients use a browser to access the middle tier over an HTTP connection such as the Internet. Included in this tier are any applets that execute on the client’s machine.

Business logic

This layer constitutes the middle tier containing the Application Server consisting of reusable asp Components. This tier contains both the presentation logic and the business rules that define a Web site.

asp servlets: Sun ONE Active Server Pages 4.0 implements some of the interfaces and classes in the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages. This means that Java objects designed for use in Java Server Pages (JSPs) can now be integrated into a Sun ONE ASP script. The ASP servlet interface implemented in this release is not a full-fledged servlet container, but instead provides a mapping between servlet container objects and ASP objects.

asp pages: Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP or ASP Classic, was Microsoft's first server-side script-engine for dynamically-generated web pages. Initially released as an add-on to Internet Information Services (IIS) via the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack (ca 1998), it was subsequently included as a free component of Windows Server (since the initial release of Windows 2000 Server). ASP.NET has superseded ASP. Programmers write most ASP pages using C#, but any other Active Scripting engine can be selected instead with the @Language directive or the <script language="language" runat="server"> syntax. JScript (Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript) is the other language that is usually available. PerlScript (a derivative of Perl) and others are available as third-party installable Active Scripting engines.

This layer represents the data storage and data access features, and will

host SQL Server 2008 consisting of physical database and logical objects

like tables, views, indices, procedures, etc.

The Data Source layer will be responsible for:

Storage of data

Retrieval of data

Maintenance of data

Integrity of data

Layers are independent of each other.

63

This three-tier architecture offers several advantages:

The tiers, or even components of the tiers, can be distributed across multiple hardware systems to improve system scalability and performance.

The middle tier shields clients from the complexities of accessing the Enterprise data store.

The asp Servlet API defines Web applications as being composed of asp servlets, asp pages, static content such as HTML pages, and any other application resources.

64

The component architecture allows you to distribute application development across your development group. For example, asp Servlet developers are typically concerned with information presentation rather than with implementing business rules. Conversely, asp developers are concerned with data access and manipulation but not with presentation.

Testing7.1 Objective And Scope

7.2 Testing Methodology

7.1 Objective And Scope

78

The objective of the different testing phases is to test in such a way, that the system being developed for CBU fulfils the requirements (both functional and non-functional) as specified in the Business requirement. The objective also includes testing all main functions / services within the system and the interfaces connecting different functionalities to the maximum extent possible. The scope involves identifying all the components that need to be tested along with the various functions that form the component. The following is a summary of the Scope of the different testing phases:

Unit Testing

Unit testing will be a white box testing of various modules. Team member responsible for the development of the module will carry it out.

Sub-System Testing

This includes business functionality testing of all the components taking into consideration all the interfaces.

Integration Testing

This testing would include testing the technical integration of various components.

This will not involve any business functionality testing but only technical integration testing.

System Testing

This would include:

End – to – End functionality testing which includes integration testing with all third party interfaces.

Performance Testing that aims to determine whether a system meets the performance requirements within the physical limitation of the computing environment (CPU process speed, memory capacity and number of users etc.) of the system.

Pre-Acceptance Testing

o This would include selected Business Functionality to be tested for the Client.

79

Figure: Levels of Testing

7.2 Testing Methodology (ATLM)

80

The Automated Testing Lifecycle Methodology (ATLM)

This structured test methodology involves a multi-stage process, supporting the detailed and interrelated activities that are required to introduce and utilize an automated test tool:

Develop test design.

Develop and execute test cases.

Develop and manage test data and the test environment.

Document, track, and obtain closure on issue/trouble reports.

The ATLM implementation takes place in parallel with the system development lifecycle. For software professionals to make a successful leap to automated testing, they must embrace structured approaches to testing.

The following sections describe each primary process, as well as the subordinate processes contained within each primary process.

Phase 1: Decision to Automate Testing

The decision to automate testing represents the first phase of the ATLM. This phase covers the entire process that goes into the automated testing decision. During this phase, it's important for the test team to manage automated testing expectations and to outline the potential benefits of automated testing when implemented correctly. A test tool proposal needs to be outlined, which will be helpful in acquiring management support.

81

Phase 2: Test Tool Acquisition

Test tool acquisition represents the second phase of the ATLM. This phase guides the test engineer through the entire test tool evaluation and selection process, starting with confirmation of management support. Since a tool should support most of the organizations' testing requirements, whenever feasible the test engineer will need to review the system's engineering environment and other organizational needs and come up with a list of tool evaluation criteria. A review of the different types of tools available to support aspects of the entire testing lifecycle is provided in Automated Software Testing. The test engineer then needs to define an evaluation domain to pilot the test tool. Finally, after all those steps have been completed, the test engineer can make vendor contact to bring in the selected tool(s). Test personnel then evaluate the tool, based on sample criteria provided.

Phase 3: Automated Testing Introduction Process

The process of introducing automated testing to a new project team constitutes the third phase of the ATLM. This phase outlines the steps necessary to successfully introduce automated testing to a new project, which are summarized in the following sections.

a) Test Process Analysis

During the test process analysis, techniques are defined. Best practices are laid out, such as conducting performance testing during the unit-testing phase.

Plans for user involvement are assessed, and test team personnel skills are analyzed against test requirements and planned test activities. Early test team participation is emphasized, supporting refinement of requirement specifications into terms that can be adequately tested while also supporting test team understanding of application requirements and design.

b) Test Tool Consideration

The test tool consideration process includes steps that investigate whether incorporation of automated test tools that have been brought into the company without a specific project in mind now would be beneficial to a specific project, given the project testing requirements, available test environment, personnel resources, user environment, platform, and product features of the application under test. Schedule is reviewed to ensure sufficient time for test tool setup and development of requirements hierarchy; potential test tools and utilities are mapped to test requirements, test tool compatibility with the application and environment is verified, and

82

workaround solutions are investigated for incompatibility problems that surfaced during compatibility tests.

Phase 4: Test Planning, Design, and Development

Test planning, design, and development is the fourth phase of the ATLM. These subjects are summarized in the following sections.

a) Test Planning

The test planning stage represents the need to review long–lead-time test planning activities. During this phase, the test team identifies test procedure creation standards and guidelines; hardware, software, and network required to support test environment; test data requirements; a preliminary test schedule; performance measure requirements; a procedure to control test configuration and environment; as well as defect-tracking procedure(s) and associated tracking tool(s).

The test plan contains the results of each preliminary phase of the structured test methodology (ATLM). The test plan will define roles and responsibilities, project test schedule, test planning and design activities, test environment preparation, test risks and contingencies, and acceptable level of thoroughness (test acceptance criteria).

b) Test Design

The test design component addresses the need to define the number of tests to be performed, the ways that testing will be approached (paths, functions), and the test conditions that need to be exercised. Test design standards need to be defined and followed.

Table: Test Procedure Design Process

Step Description

1 Test Architecture Review. The test team reviews the test architecture in order to identify the test techniques that apply.

2 Test Procedure Definition (Development Level). A test procedure definition is constructed at the development test level, identifying the test procedure series that applies for the various design components and test techniques.

83

3 Test Procedure Definition (System Level). A test procedure definition is constructed at the system test level, identifying the test procedure series that applies for the various test techniques.

4 Test Procedure Design Standards. Design standards are adopted and a unique naming convention is adopted that distinguishes the test procedures on the project from test procedures developed in the past or on other projects.

5 Manual Versus Automated Tests. Test procedures will be depicted as being either performed manually or as part of an automated test.

6 Test Procedures Flagged for Detailed Design. Test procedures that stand out as more sophisticated are flagged. These test procedures are further defined as part of detailed test design.

7 Detailed Design. Those test procedures flagged as part of step 7 are designed in further detail within a detailed test design file or document. Test procedure detailed design may consist of pseudo-code of algorithms, preliminary test step definition, or pseudo-code of test automation programs.

8 Test Data Mapping. Test procedure matrix is modified to reflect test data requirements for each test procedure.

Test Development

For automated tests to be reusable, repeatable, and maintainable, test development standards need to be defined and followed.

After performing test analysis and design, the test team is now ready to perform test development.

The test team needs to obtain and modify test databases necessary to exercise software applications, and develop environment setup scripts and test bed scripts. The test team perform product reviews and validation of all test source materials. The location of the test environment for each project or task is defined within the test plan for each project. Early identification of the test site is critical to cost-effective test environment planning and development.

Phase 5: Execution and Management of Tests

The various steps involved during execution and management of tests are outlined below.

When executing test procedures, the test team needs to comply with a test procedure execution schedule. Following test execution, test outcome evaluations are performed and test result documentation is prepared.

Plans for unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing are executed, which together make up the steps that are required to test the system as a whole.

Integration testing is performed, which focuses on the application internals.

During system test, the test engineer tests the integration of parts that comprise the entire system. A separate test team usually performs system-level tests.

The test team also performs analysis to identify particular components or functionality that are experiencing a greater relative number of problem reports. Test results analysis can also confirm whether executed test procedures are proving to be worthwhile in terms of identifying errors.

Each test team needs to perform problem-reporting operations in compliance with a defined process. The documentation and tracking of software problem reports is greatly facilitated by an automated defect-tracking tool.

The test team manager is responsible for ensuring that tests are executed according to schedule, and test personnel are allocated and redirected when necessary to handle problems that arise during the test effort.

86

Phase 6: Test Program Review and Assessment

Test program review and assessment activities are conducted throughout the testing lifecycle, to allow for continuous improvement activities. The various steps necessary for test program review and assessment are outlined below.

Following test execution, the test team needs to review the performance of the test program to determine where changes can be implemented to improve the test program performance on the next project.

The focus of the test program review includes an assessment of whether the application satisfies acceptance criteria and is ready to go into production.

REPORTING SERVICES

SQL SERVER 2005 REPORT GENERATING SYSTEM

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services is a key component of SQL Server 2005. Reporting Service provides customers with an enterprise-capable

90

reporting platform with a comprehensive environment for authoring, managing, and delivering reports to the entire organization.

GET STARTED WITH SQL SERVER REPORT GENERATING SYSTEM

There are a few simple steps to get started with his application in SQL 2005 1. Go to the start menu, programs, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, SQL Server business intelligence development studio.

2. Once the visual studio window is opened, go to File option and select project from the new menu option. On doing so, a new report will be made as shown below;

3. Select the Report Server Project option from the window. On doing so, a new report will be added to the recent projects column.

4. Go to the project option in the menu bar and select add new option. On doing so, the following window will be seen;

91

TYPES OF REPORTS

There are in all eight types of reports, out of which the important three are discussed below. These reports are most frequently used and implemented on a large scale.

PARAMETERIZED REPORTS When you are using reports, you need to have parameters that narrow down your report for better analysis. You will often see that you need to have more than one parameter, where the second parameter may depend on the first parameter, which many require you to refresh the second parameter depending on the first parameter. In addition, you may have parameters with multiple and/or default values. These reports are called parameterized reports. The following steps will help us to know about it in a better way.

1. Click on the report option in the window and an entirely new window opens up;

92

2. Next we select the <New Dataset> option in the dataset bar and the window looks like as follows;

3. Name the dataset, and click on the edit button near connection string. On doing so, a new window pops up;

93

4. Specify the server name, then select ‘Use SQL Server authentication’ and fill in the user name and password , check the save password check box, specify a database name and finally click on the ‘Test Connection’ button. A small message box saying the connection is successfully made is shown.

5. Next, on closing all the windows in the visual studio, we see the new window as shown below;

6. Now, we click on the ‘edit selected dataset’ option near the dataset box;

94

7. Next, we give the correct command type and the query name, and then click OK.

8. Now, we go to the solution explorer window, right click on the shared data sources option, and make the connection as done earlier.

9. Now, if we click the Run button, the specified query is executed. For example,

95

10. Right above the bar containing the dataset name and the run button, we have three options; data, layout and preview. Till now we were working on the data. Now, we will work on the layout of our report, by clicking on the layout button.

96

11. Next, we click on the toolbar option at the very left of the window. From there we select the tool we need for our report. For example

12. Now, we fill the required information from the database option given below the toolbar option. Our layout is ready.

13. Finally, we click on the preview option and the report is generated.

97

14. On making changes in the properties of the table in the layout section, we can give our report a better look.

LINKED REPORTS

98

A linked report is a report server item that provides an access point to an existing report. Conceptually, it is similar to a program shortcut that you use to run a program or open a file. A linked report is derived from an existing report and retains the original's report definition. A linked report always inherits report layout and data source properties of the original report. All other properties and settings can be different from those of the original report, including security, parameters, location, subscriptions, and schedules. You can create a linked report when you want to create additional versions of an existing report. For example, you could use a single regional sales report to create region-specific reports for all of your sales territories. Although linked reports are typically based on parameterized reports, a parameterized report is not required. You can create linked reports whenever you want to deploy an existing report with different settings. It must be noted that the initial steps to create a linked report is exactly similar to a parameterized report. It must also be noted that a linked report can be made only after the deployment or publishing of the report. Given below are the steps one should use to deploy a report and then create a linked report.

1. Once the report is viewed in the preview section, go to the solution explorer tab and right click on the project name and select properties. The property page of the project will be seen, as shown.

2. In the TargetServerURL column, write the URL address, and select OK.

99

3. A security window asking for the username and password of the given URL address will be seen. Enter the required information, and the report will be deployed.

4. Open the internet explorer and in the address bar type the URL address given earlier. Another security box will emerge. Fill in the username and password and proceed. The SQL Server Reporting Services Homepage will be opened.

5. Select the project and open the report you want to link to and click on the properties tab. The general properties page opens up.

100

6. Fill in the required information and click Create Linked Report. The linked report is created.

DRILL DOWN REPORTS

Occasionally, you may want to place items on a report but hide them from view when the report is rendered. You can also cause a report item to toggle between visible and hidden when the user clicks on another report

101

item, or you can hide a report item based on the contents of another report item. You can hide any report item, including groups, columns, or rows in a table or matrix. The primary use of hidden items is to provide a report that shows summary data but also provides a way for the user to drill down into detail data. To create this drilldown effect, select the group, column, or row to hide, set its hidden state to True, and then set the toggle item to the name of a text box in a containing group. When the report is rendered, the user can click the text box to expand and collapse the detail data. Initial stages of the drill down report is similar to the above two reports.

1. Once the project is opened, create two reports and set their data and parameters as needed.

2. In the layout section, design the reports.

3. Right click on the header of the column that you want to drill down and select properties.

4. In the properties window, under the navigation tab, select jump to report option, select the other report and click OK.

102

5. In the preview section, right click on the first report and select build. Do the same with the second report.

6. Deploy the two in the same way (as discussed before).

7. In the preview section, when you click on the column that is drilled down, the next hidden report is shown.

103

INTEGRATING THE DEPLOYED REPORTS IN ASP.NET

In the previous sections, we learnt how to make various kinds of reports and deploy them on the server. These reports are now made to be seen by users and clients and use it in their applications. This is done by using the Microsoft Visual Studio Application.

104

Once the application opens, the following steps would create an integrated report in ASP.NET.

1. Go to the files option in menu bar and select New, then Web Site.

105

2. A window opens up, select ASP.NET Web Site.

3. This is the ASP.NET code window that appears. It contains all the general specifications needed for an ASP.NET application to run on the server.

106

4. In the tool box, select the report viewer, and click on the report viewer that appears on the design window.

5. The code window opens up, where we can add more specifications, like parameters, default values, buttons etc.

107

6. Finally, on executing this, one can see the integrated report on the server.

CONCLUSION

108

In the eight years since release of Microsoft's previous SQL Server product (SQL Server 2000), advancements have been made in performance, the client IDE tools, and several complementary systems that are packaged with SQL Server 2005. These include: an ETL tool (SQL Server Integration Services or SSIS), a Reporting Server, an OLAP and data mining server (Analysis Services), and several messaging technologies, specifically Service Broker and Notification Services.

The SQL SERVER 2005 introduces a lot of user friendly features. SQL Server 2005 introduced "MARS" (Multiple Active Results Sets), a method of allowing usage of database connections for multiple purposes. SQL Server 2005 introduced DMVs (Dynamic Management Views), which are specialized views and functions that return server state information that can be used to monitor the health of a server instance, 61 diagnose problems, and tune performance. This project deals mainly with the SQL SERVER REPORTING SYSTEM. This feature comes in the package of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005. This helps a lot as far as the administration in an organization is concerned. With the passage of time, this feature is getting better.
