 PROJECT ON UPSC REGISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

This programme helps the users to add a UPSC registration details of particular
student, After feeding information this programme automatically generates a
registration Number and displays it. The user can use the registration number to view
their registered details. This programme can be used only if the Login ID and the
Password is correct by doing so we enforce security and restriction of unauthorised
access.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objective of this project is to let the students apply the programming

knowledge into a real- world situation/problem and exposed the students how

programming skills helps in developing a good software.

1. Write programs utilizing modern software tools.

2. Apply object oriented programming principles effectively when developing small

to medium sized projects.

3. Write effective procedural code to solve small to medium sized problems.

4. Students will demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in Informatics Practices, as

exemplified in the areas of systems, theory and software development.

5. Students will demonstrate ability to conduct a research on applied Informatics

Practices project, requiring writing and presentation skills which exemplify

scholarly style in Informatics Practices .

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Today one cannot afford to rely on the fallible human beings of be really wants

to stand against today’s merciless competition where not to wise saying “to err is

human” no longer valid, it’s out-dated to rationalize your mistake. So, to keep pace

with time, to bring about the best result without malfunctioning and greater efficiency

so to replace the unending heaps of flies with a much sophisticated secondary memory

of the computer.

One has to use the data management software. Software has been an ascent

in atomization of various organisations. Many software products working are now in

markets, which have helped in making the organizations work easier and efficiently.

Data management initially hadto maintain a lot of ledgers and a lot of paperwork has

to be done but now software product on this organization has made their work faster

and easier. Now only this software has to be loaded on the computer and work can be

done.

This prevents a lot of time and money. The work becomes fully automated and

any information regarding the organization can be obtained by clicking the button.

Moreover, now it’s an age of computers of and automating such an organization gives

the better look.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)

The systems development life cycle is a project management technique that

divides complexprojects into smaller, more easily managedsegments or phases.
Segmenting projects allows managers to verify the successful completion of project
phases before allocating resources to subsequent phases.
Software development projects typically include initiation, planning,design,
development, testing, implementation,and maintenance phases. However, the phases
may be divided differently depending on the organization involved.
For example, initial project activities might be designated as request,
requirements-definition, and planning phases, or initiation, concept-development,and
planning phases. End users of the system under development should be involved in
reviewing the output of each phase to ensurethe system is being built to deliver the
needed functionality.

7
 PHASES OF SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

INITIATION PHASE

The Initiation Phase begins when a business sponsor identifies a need or an

opportunity.

The purpose of the Initiation Phase is to:

Identify and validate an opportunity to improve business accomplishments of

the organization or a deficiency related to a business need.
Identify significant assumptions and constraints on solutions to that need.
Recommend the exploration of alternative concepts and methods to satisfy the
need including questioning the need for technology, i.e., will a change in the
business process offer a solution?
Assure executive business and executive technical sponsorship. The Sponsor
designates a Project Manager and the business need is documented in a
Concept Proposal. The Concept Proposal includes information about the
business process and the relationship to the Agency/Organization.
Infrastructure and the Strategic Plan. A successful Concept Proposal results in
a Project Management Charter which outlines the authority of the project
manager to begin
the project.

Careful oversight is required to ensure projects support strategic business

objectives and resources are effectively implemented into an organization's enterprise
architecture. The initiation phase begins when an opportunity to add, improve, or
correct a system is identified and formally requested through the presentation of a
business case. The business case should, at a minimum, describe a proposal’s
purpose, identify expected benefits, and explain how the proposed system supports
one of the organization’s business strategies. The business case should also identify
alternative solutions and detail as many informational, functional, and network
requirements as possible.

8
SYSTEM CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PHASE

The System Concept Development Phase begins after a business need or opportunity
is validated by the Agency/Organization Program Leadership and the
Agency/Organization CIO.

The purpose of the System Concept Development Phase is to:

Determine the feasibility and appropriateness of the alternatives.

Identify system interfaces.
Identify basic functional and data requirements to satisfy the business need.
Establish system boundaries; identify goals, objectives, critical success factors,
and performance measures.
Evaluate costs and benefits of alternative approaches to satisfy the basic
functional requirements
Assess project risks
Identify and initiate risk mitigation actions, and Develop high-level technical
architecture, process models, data models, and a concept of operations. This
phase explores potential technical solutions within the context of the business
need.
It may include several trade-off decisions such as the decision to use COTS
software products as opposed to developing custom software or reusing
software components, or the decision to use an incremental delivery versus a
complete, onetime deployment.
Construction of executable prototypes is encouraged to evaluate technology to
support the business process. The System Boundary Document serves as an
important reference document to support the Information Technology Project
Request (ITPR) process.
The ITPR must be approved by the State CIO before the project can move
forward.

PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION OF SDLC:

PLANNING PHASE

The planning phase is the most critical step in completing development,

acquisition, and maintenance projects. Careful planning, particularly in the early
stages of a project, isnecessary to coordinate activities and manage project risks
effectively. The depth and formality of project plans should be commensurate with the
characteristics and risks of a given project. Project plans refine the information
gathered during the initiation phase by further identifying the specificactivities and
resources required to complete a project.

A critical part of a project manager’sjob is to coordinate discussions between

user, audit, security, design, development, and network personnel to identify and
document as many functional, security, and networkrequirements as possible. During
this phase, a plan is developed that documents the approach to be used and includes
a discussion of methods, tools, tasks, resources, project schedules, and user input.
Personnel assignments, costs, project schedule, and target dates are established.
A Project Management Plan is created with components related to acquisition
planning, configuration management planning, quality assurance planning, concept of

10
operations, system security, verification and validation, and systems engineering
management planning.

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS PHASE

This phase formally defines the detailed functional user requirements using
high-level requirements identified in the Initiation, System Concept, and Planning
phases. It also delineates the requirements in terms of data, system performance,
security, and maintainability requirements for the system. The requirements are
defined in this phase to a level of detail sufficient for systems design to proceed. They
need to be measurable, testable, and relate to the business need or opportunity
identified in the Initiation Phase. The requirements that will be used to determine
acceptance of the system are captured in the Test and Evaluation Master Plan.

The purposes of this phase are to:

Further define and refine the functional and data requirements and document
them in the Requirements Document,
Complete business process reengineering of the functions to be supported
(i.e., verify what information drives the business process, what information is
generated, who generates it, where does the information go, and who
processes it),
Develop detailed data and process models (system inputs, outputs, and the
process.
Develop the test and evaluation requirements that will be used to determine
acceptable system performance.

DESIGN PHASE

The design phase involves converting the informational, functional, and

network requirements identified during the initiation and planning phases into unified
design specifications that developers use to script programs during the development
phase. Program designs are constructed in various ways. Using a top-down approach,
designers first identify and link major program components and interfaces, then
expand design layouts as they identify and link smaller subsystems and connections.

11
Using a bottom-up approach, designers first identify and link minor program
components and interfaces, then expand design layouts as they identify and link larger
systems and connections. Contemporary design techniques often use prototyping
tools that build mock-up designs of items such as application screens, database
layouts, and system architectures. End users, designers, developers, database
managers, and network administrators should review and refine the prototyped
designs in an iterative process until they agree on an acceptable design. Audit,
security, and quality assurance personnel should be involved in the review and
approval process. During this phase, the system is designed to satisfy the functional
requirements identified in the previous phase. Since problems in the design phase
could be very expensive to solve in the later stage of the software development, a
variety of elements are considered in the design to mitigate risk. These include:

Identifying potential risks and defining mitigating design features.

Performing a security risk assessment.
Developing a conversion plan to migrate current data to the new system.
Determining the operating environment.
Defining major subsystems and their inputs and outputs.
Allocating processes to resources.
Preparing detailed logic specifications for each software module. The result is
a draft System Design Document which captures the preliminary design for the
system.
Everything requiring user input or approval is documented and reviewed by the
user. Once these documents have been approved by the Agency CIO and
Business Sponsor, the final System Design Document is created to serve as
the Critical/Detailed Design for the system.
This document receives a rigorous review by Agency technical and functional
representatives to ensure that it satisfies the business requirements.
Concurrent with the development of the system design, the Agency Project
Manager begins development of the Implementation Plan, Operations and
Maintenance Manual, and the Training Plan.

DEVELOPMENT PHASE

12
 The development phase involves converting design specifications into
executable programs. Effective development standards include requirements that
programmers and other project participants discuss design specifications before
programming begins. The procedures help ensure programmers clearly
understand program designs and functional requirements. Programmers use
various techniques to develop computer programs. The large transaction oriented
programs associated with financial institutions have traditionally been developed
using procedural programming techniques. Procedural programming involves the
line-by-line scripting of logical instructions that are combined to form a program.
Effective completion of the previous stages is a key factor in the success of the
Development phase. The Development phase consists of:

Translating the detailed requirements and design into system components.

Testing individual elements (units) for usability.
Preparing for integration and testing of the IT system.

INTEGRATION AND TEST PHASE

Subsystem integration, system, security, and user acceptance testing is

conducted during the integration and test phase. The user, with those
responsible for quality assurance, validates that the functional requirements, as
defined in the functional requirements document, are satisfied by the developed
or modified system. OIT Security staff assesses the system security and issue
a security certification and accreditation prior to installation/implementation.

Multiple levels of testing are performed, including:

Testing at the development facility by the contractor and possibly supported

by end users

13
 Testing as a deployed system with end users working together with contract
personnel

Operational testing by the end user alone performing all functions.

Requirements are traced throughout testing, a final Independent Verification &
Validation evaluation is performed and all documentation is reviewed and
accepted prior to acceptance of the system.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

This phase is initiated after the system has been tested and accepted by the
user. In this phase, the system is installed to support the intended business functions.
System performance is compared to performance objectives established during the
planning phase. Implementation includes user notification, user training, installation of
hardware, installation of software onto production computers, and integration of the
system into daily work processes. This phase continues until the system is operating
in production in accordance with the defined user requirements.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PHASE

The system operation is on-going. The system is monitored for continued

performance in accordance with user requirements and needed system modifications
are incorporated. Operations continue as long as the system can be effectively
adapted to respond to the organization’s needs. When modifications or changes are
identified, the system may re-enter the planning phase.

The purpose of this phase is to:

Operate, maintain, and enhance the system.

Certify that the system can process sensitive information.
Conduct periodic assessments of the system to ensure the functional
requirements continue to be satisfied.
Determine when the system needs to be modernized, replaced, or retired.

 TESTING

Software Testing is an empirical investigation conducted to provide

stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test[1]

30
, with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate. Software Testing also
provides an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to
appreciate and understand the risks at implementation of the software. Test
techniques include, but are not limited to, the process of executing a program or
application with the intent of finding software bugs.
It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software
program/application/product meets the business and technical requirements that
guided its design and development, so that it works as expected and can be
implemented with the same characteristics. Software Testing, depending on the
testing method employed, can be implemented at any time in the development
process, however the most test effort is employed after the requirements have been
defined and coding process has been completed.

TESTING METHODS
Software testing methods are traditionally divided into black box testing and
white box testing. These two approaches are used to describe the point of view that
a test engineer takes when designing test cases.

BLACK BOX TESTING

Black box testing treats the software as a "black box," without any knowledge
of internal implementation. Black box testing methods include: equivalence
partitioning, boundary value analysis, all-pairs testing, fuzz testing, model-based
testing, traceability matrix, exploratory testing and specification-based testing.

SPECIFICATION-BASED TESTING

Specification-based testing aims to test the functionality of software according

to the applicable requirements.[16] Thus, the tester inputs data into, and only sees the
output from, the test object. This level of testing usually requires thorough test cases
to be provided to the tester, who then can simply verify that for a given input, the output
value (or behaviour), either "is" or "is not" the same as the expected value specified in
the test case. Specification-based testing is necessary, but it is insufficient to guard
against certain risks

31
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

The black box tester has no "bonds" with the code, and a tester's perception is
very simple: a code must have bugs. Using the principle, "Ask and you shall receive,"
black box testers find bugs where programmers don't. But, on the other hand, black
box testing has been said to be "like a walk in a dark labyrinth without a flashlight,"
because the tester doesn't know how the software being tested was actually
constructed.
That's why there are situations when (1) a black box tester writes many test
cases to check something that can be tested by only one test case, and/or (2) some
parts of the back end are not tested at all. Therefore, black box testing has the
advantage of "an unaffiliated opinion," on the one hand, and the disadvantage of "blind
exploring," on the other.

WHITE BOX TESTING

White box testing, by contrast to black box testing, is when the tester has
access to the internal data structures and algorithms (and the code that implement
these)

Types of white box testing:-

The following types of white box testing exist:
api testing - Testing of the application using Public and Private APIs.
Code coverage - creating tests to satisfy some criteria of code coverage.
For example, the test designer can create tests to cause all statements in the
program to be executed at least once.
fault injection methods.
mutation testing methods.
static testing - White box testing includes all static testing.

CODE COMPLETENESS EVALUATION

White box testing methods can also be used to evaluate the completeness of a
test suite that was created with black box testing methods. This allows the software

team to examine parts of a system that are rarely tested and ensures that the most
important function points have been tested.

Two common forms of code coverage are:

Function Coverage: Which reports on functions executed and
Statement Coverage:Which reports on the number of lines executed to
complete the test.
They both return coverage metric, measured as a percentage
