QR CODE BASED ATTENDANCE SYATEM

1. INTRODUCTION

The QR Code Attendance System is an innovative solution that automates the process of
tracking attendance, providing a more efficient, accurate, and secure alternative to traditional
methods. By using Quick Response (QR) codes, each participant (such as a employee) is assigned a
unique code that can be scanned using a smartphone or dedicated scanner. The scanned data is then
instantly recorded into the system, capturing essential information like the user's identity, time, and date
of attendance, without the need for manual input. This technology simplifies the check-in process,
reducing human error and saving valuable time.
One of the key advantages of a QR code-based attendance system is its speed and ease
of use. Users simply scan their individual QR code upon arrival, and their attendance is
automatically logged. This eliminates the need for lengthy roll calls or physical sign-ins, streamlining
the entire process. Additionally, the system can be integrated with real-time data tracking, providing
instant updates for administrators or teachers, making it easier to monitor attendance and generate
reports on participant behavior, such as late arrivals or absences.
Moreover, the QR Code Attendance System offers enhanced security by ensuring that only
authorized users can mark their attendance, preventing fraudulent activities like proxy attendance. It
also contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for paper- based records and sign-in sheets.
Whether used in educational institutions, corporate settings, or large-scale events, QR code
attendance systems are not only cost- effective and environmentally friendly but also provide a
scalable solution that adapts to the needs of different organizations.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1INTRODUCTION

The Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm is a key feature in QR code- based attendance
systems. It plays a critical role in ensuring accurate data retrieval from QR codes, even when parts of
the code are damaged or obscured. This algorithm is responsible for interpreting the data by analyzing
the QR code’s structural patterns.

How It Works
When a QR code is scanned using a camera or imaging device, the Reed- Solomon algorithm
processes the captured image. It examines the patterns found in both the horizontal and vertical
components of the QR code to extract the encoded information. The algorithm applies error correction
techniques to recover any missing or corrupted data, enabling the system to read and interpret the code
even under less-than-ideal conditions.

Benefits:

 Damage Tolerance: The Reed-Solomon algorithm allows QR codes to be scanned and decoded
even if part of the code is blocked or damaged.

 Micro QR Codes: It can recover data from micro QR codes that may be up to 25% damaged or

obscured.

 Reliability: The algorithm ensures that QR codes can be successfully read in real-world
scenarios where dirt, wear, or environmental factors might partially cover the code, making it
particularly useful for attendance systems in dynamic settings.

 QR CODE BASED ATTENDANCE SYATEM

A sequence diagram for a QR code-based employee attendance system illustrates the flow of
interactions when an employee checks in or out. The process begins with the Employee initiating the
scan by presenting their unique QR code to the Scanner. The scanner reads the QR code and sends the
information to the System for validation. The system verifies the QR code, confirming the employee’s
identity by matching it to existing records in the Database. Once validated, the system logs the check-in
or check-out time in the Attendance records for that employee. After the attendance is recorded, the
system may generate a success message or notification, confirming to the employee that their
attendance was successfully logged. An Admin can later interact with the system to retrieve attendance
records, generate reports, and manage employee attendance data as needed. This diagram captures the
sequence of realtime interactions, ensuring an efficient attendancetracking workflow and accurate data
logging.

functionality. By conducting thorough testing and validation, the system’s stability, efficiency, and overall
quality will be assured, providing a robust foundation for successful deployment and customer adoption.

6.2 SYSTEM TEST

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover Every conceivable
fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the Functionality of components, sub
assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product It is the Process of exercising software with the intent of
ensuring that the Software system meets its Requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an
unacceptable manner. There are Various types of test. Each test type addresses a specific testing
requirement.

6.2.1 Types Of Tests

Unit Testing

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic Is
functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs. All decision branches
And internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual software units of
the
Application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit before integration. This is a Structural
testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is invasive. Unit tests perform
Basic tests at component level and test a specific business process, application, and/or system
Configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path of a business process performs accurately

To the documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.

Integration Testing

Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine if They actually run
as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned with the basic
Outcome of screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components
were Individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the combination of
37
 QR CODE BASED ATTENDANCE SYATEM

components Is correct and consistent. Integration testing is specifically aimed at exposing

the problems That arise from the combination of components.

Functional Test

Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are available As specified by

the business and technical requirements, system documentation, and user Manuals.

Functional testing is centered on the following items:

 Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be accepted.

 Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.

 Functions : identified functions must be exercised.

 Output : identified classes of application outputs must be exercised.

 Systems/Procedures : interfacing systems or procedures must be invoked.

Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused on requirements, key Functions,

or special test cases. In addition, systematic coverage pertaining to identify Business
Process flows; data fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be
considered For testing. Before functional testing is complete, additional tests are identified
and the effective
Value of current tests is determined.

System Test

System testing ensures that the entire integrated software system meets Requirements. It
tests a configuration to ensure known and predictable results. An example of System
testing is the configuration oriented system integration test. System testing is based on
Process descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process links and integration
points.

White Box Testing

White Box Testing is a testing in which in which the software tester has Knowledge of the
inner workings, structure and language of the software, or at least its purpose. It is purpose.
It is used to test areas that cannot be reached from a black box level.

Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is testing the software without any knowledge of the inner Workings,
structure or language of the module being tested. Black box tests, as most other kinds Of
tests, must be written from a definitive source document, such as specification or
Requirements document, such as specification or requirements document. It is a testing in
which The software under test is treated, as a black box .you cannot “see” into it. The test
provides Inputs and responds to outputs without considering how the software works.

Unit Testing

Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit test phase of the
Software lifecycle, although it is not uncommon for coding and unit testing to be
conducted as Two distinct phases. Test strategy and approach Field testing will be
performed manually and functional tests will be written In detail.

Test Objectives

All field entries must work properly. Pages must be activated from the identified link.
The entry screen, messages and responses must not be delayed. Features to be tested
Verify that the entries are of the correct format No duplicate entries should be allowed All
links should take the user to the correct page.

Integration Testing

39
 QR CODE BASED ATTENDANCE SYATEM

Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two or more

Integrated software components on a single platform to produce failures caused by
interface Defects. The task of the integration test is to check that components or software
applications, e.g. Components in a software system or – one step up – software
applications at the company level

Interact without error.

Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.

Acceptance Testing

User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant Participation

by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional requirements.

Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.

6.3 CONCLUSION
