Abstract
Requirements definition and management is recognized as a necessary step
in the delivery of successful systems and software projects, discipline is also
required by standards, regulations, and quality improvement initiatives.
Creating and managing requirements is a challenge of IT, systems and
product development projects or indeed for any activity where you have to
manage a contractual relationship. Organization need to effectively define
and manage requirements to ensure they are meeting needs of the customer,
while proving compliance and staying on the schedule and within budge.
The impact of a poorly expressed requirement can bring a business out of
compliance or even cause injury or death. Requirements definition and
management is an activity that can deliver a high, fast return on investment.
The BUS RESERVATION SYSTEM undertaken as a project is based
on relevant technologies. The main aim of this project is to develop software
for bank management system. This project is to develop software for bank
management system. This project has been developed to carry out the
processes easily and quickly, which is not possible with the manuals
systems, which are overcome by this software. This project is developed
using VB language and. Hence it provides the complete solution for the
current management system.

Introduction of the Project
1.1. Project Objective
To allow only authorized user to access various function and
processed available in the system.
Locate any A/C wanted by the user.
Reduced clerical work as most of the work done by computer.
Provide greater speed & reduced time consumption.
1.2. Project Benefits
Some benefits are:
Access to privilege banking zone
Dedicated Relationship Manager
International Debit Card with insurance coverage
Facility to link with current account
Anywhere Banking with higher limits
Daily account balance alerts
Multi-city cheque book with 25 leaves
1.3. Project Scope
Banking activities are considered to be the life blood of
the national Economy. Without banking services, trading and
business activities cannot be carried on smoothly. Banks are the
distributors and protectors of liquid capital which is of vital
significance to a developing country.
Efficient administration of the banking system helps in
the economic Growth of the nation. Banking is useful to trade
and commerce.
1.4. Project Limitation
The failure of a larger institution could have serious ramifications for
the entire system in that if one universal bank were to collapse, it
could lead to a systemic financial crisis.
Universal bankers may be tempted to take excessive risks.
Banks may deploy their own assets in securities with consequent risk
to commercial and savings deposits.
Vulnerable to high risks due to investment banking activities coupled
with focus on commercial banking activities.
Unsound loans may be made in order to shore up the price of
securities or the financial position of companies in which a bank had
invested its own assets.

System
System development Life cycle consist of two major steps of System
analysis and design. It includes set of activities that analysts, designers and
users carry out to develop and implement an information system.
So, here we followed the different stages of system development life
cycle to develop Billing Software efficiently.
The systems development life cycle consists of the following
activities:
1. Preliminary Investigation
2. Determination Requirements
3. Design of System
4. Development of System
5. System Testing
6. Implementation
2.1. Preliminary Investigation
For this, the need arises to understand the viewpoint of two important
entities…
Top management and users.
In order to gather pertinent information, I interviewed the Top
Management and asked the following questions:
How the present system works?
What all drawbacks are in the present system?
What is their vision about the new system?
What specific facilities they want from new system, those are
currently not in scope of existing system?
How will data flow in the system?
Who will be authenticated to access data and his/her access rights?
To find more about present system’s working mechanism such as the
ways of getting inputs and providing outputs, I interviewed the current
users of the system by asking following question:
Are they comfortable with the present system?
What flaws exists in the current system?
Do they feel the necessity of new system?
What will be their requirements from new system?
Are they satisfied with their role in new system?
After carrying out these interviews, I drew conclusion about the Top
Management’s requirements and whether users are in support of the new
system.
This activity is consisting of three parts:-
2.1.1. Request Clarification
As previously stated, the requests are made from employees
and users in the organization, which are not clearly stated, therefore a
system investigation is being considered. The project request must be
examined to determine precisely what the originator wants.
My project is basically meant for Receipt & Revenue section
so taking in to consideration of all these tasks; the corresponding
development came in to existence.
2.1.2. Feasibility Study
Feasibility study tried to determine whether a given solution
would work or not. Its main objective is not to solve the problem, but to
acquire its scope. It focuses on following:
Meet user requirements
Best utilization of available resources
Develop a cost effective system
Develop a technically feasible system
It is further classified into 3 aspects:-
2.1.2.1. Technical Feasibility
Issues to be studied are, whether the work for the project will be
done with current equipment, existing S/W technology and available
personnel? If the new technology is required, then what is the
likelihood that it can be developed?
This billing software is technically feasible. The primary
technical requirement includes the availability of Windows 2000 or
higher version of operating systems installed in the network. MS Access
is also required which was already installed. To develop programs VB
6.0 was required which was also available. Reliability, access power
and data security was also available. The system can also be developed
if the new technology is acquired. Thus, through all the ends technical
feasibility was met.
The tools that we were requiring were all available to us they
are:-
Hardware Requirements
Server Machine:
Minimum p-3, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB Hard Disk
Client Machine:
Minimum p-3, 128 MB RAM, 8 GB Hard Disk
Printer:
132 columns High Speed Dot Matrix Printer with local
language support
Software Requirements
Windows OS: WIN 7
APPLICATION : C++,C
MS-Access: Version 2000 and above; Source: Microsoft
2.1.2.2. Economic Feasibility
Issues to be studied are, whether the new system is cost
effective or not? The benefits in the form of reduced cost?
This billing software is economically feasible. As the hardware
was installed from quite beginning, the cost on project of hardware is
low. Similarly, the software loaded for this project was used even after
this project was developed for many other applications. The software
cost was under budget. Moreover, the technical requirements were
already available so there was no further expenditure for buying
software packages.
2.1.2.3. Operational Feasibility
Issues to be studied are, is there sufficient support for management
and users? Is the current method acceptable to users? Will the proposed
system cause any harm?
This billing software is operationally feasible. This application
provides the necessary information to the user such as how to enter the
information regarding different operations performed on the database.
The application was planned in such a way that no prior knowledge was
required to go through the various operations. The user just needed to
have the basic knowledge of computers.
This software also possesses behavioral feasibility. It’s because the
users of the system are computer professionals and know the
advantages of computer system. Moreover, this application is going to
enhance their skills and reduce their workloads.
2.1.3. Request Approval
Not all the requested projects are desirable or feasible.
However, those that are both feasible and desirable should be put into
scheduled. After the project is approved, its cost, priority, completion
time and personnel requirements are estimated and used to determine
where to add it to any project list.
The Top Management reviewed the above factors and gave their
ascent. After the consent to request approval, the design was taken up.
2.2. Determination of System
Requirement
Determination of system requirement means studying the adjacent
system in order to collect the details regarding the way it captures data,
processes the data, produces the output. I used following techniques for
identifying system requirements:
Reviewing organization documents
Onsite observations
Conducting interviews
2.2.1. Reviewing Organization
Documents
I first learnt about the organization involved in, or affected by the
project, I got to know how the department works and the employees
were directly involved/associated with the application. Annual manuals
and reports were of great help to me.
2.2.2.. Onsite Observations
It is a process of recognizing and observing people, objects and
their occurrence to obtain the information. The major objective of the
Onsite Observation is to get as close as possible to real system being
studied.
Here, I observed the activities of the system directly. I saw the
office environment, workload on the system, and workload on the users.
The physical layout of the current system along with the location &
movement of staff was analyzed. In this way, the information about the
present workflow, objects and people was gathered.
This helped me to understand various procedures & processes,
which were to be developed in the new system.
2.2.3. Conducting Interviews
Written documents and onsite observation just tell that how the
system should operate. They do not include enough details to allow a
decision to be made about the merits of system proposal, nor do they
present user views about the current system.
I conducted interviews of the staff, which were directly involved with
the application. Also the regular users of the application were
interviewed. Based on their viewpoints, crystal clear system
requirements were jolted down. These interviews were of great help.
Design of System
3.1. Interface Design
A well-designed interface improves the user perception of the content
or services. It needs not to be flashy but it should be ergonomically
sound. Two main types of design interface, which I considered, are:
User Interface
Communication Interface
3.1.1. User Interface
The various documents that are maintained by the RR section that
have been used to analyze the user interfaces that will interact with the
billing software.
The billing software consists of many modules and these modules
consist of various sub modules, which provides the user with various
facilities.
3.1.2. Communication Interface
The software may either be installed on a client server based setup
with a Local Area Network (using the Ethernet Interface, one to one
connection and TCP/IP) or on a standalone machine whereby client and
server components resides on the same machine.
3.2. Detailed Design Specification
Complete design specification serves the following purposes:
It should be able to adequately serve as training material for new
project members, imparting them enough information and
understanding about the project implementation.
It should serve as “Objective Evidence” that the designers and/or
implementers are following through on their commitment to
implement the functionality described in their requirements
specifications.
Detailed Design
The design that we have formed for the new system are given
as under:-
DATAFLOW DIAGRAM
Flow chart
Testing & Debugging
Testing is a process of executing the program with the intent of
finding errors and it establishes confidence that the program does what
it is suppose to do. Testing can be performed in two ways:-
Unit Testing:
It is testing of individual module. Before initiating unit testing, it must be
ensured that the code is peer previewed.
Integration Testing:
Integration testing is performed after all the software units are combined
together. The objective here is to test the software interfaces. Project team
conducts the integration testing. Before entering integration testing, it
may be ensured that code review and unit testing have been performed on
the individual software modules.
I conducted the unit testing for finding errors and the results of the
unit testing are recorded and action initiated for rectification of the
errors/defects.
VALIDATION
Almost every field in the database which is sensitive i.e.
responsible for some important changes are validated. Basically we
validated the field as such is numeric and the length in case of the
primary keys and also used the Data base to complete most of the
details once entered at the data entry time,
So that while performing the transaction at faster rate also the
user is not going to face any problems or can make any sort of blunders
in the fine, status, book no that can be issued, and other important
fields.
Mostly the validation is carried out in the lost focus, click,
change and other similar events where the entered value is compared
with the one stored in the database and if there is duplication to occur or
no match with the database then the entry is to be removed and user is
prompt to reenter it.
Implementation & consequently maintenance was not included as part
of our project.
