System Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)
The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process used to develop,
implement, and maintain information systems. It consists of a series of well-defined stages that
guide the development process from the initial concept to deployment and maintenance. The
SDLC ensures that the system meets user requirements and operates efficiently.
1. Planning
o In this phase, the project objectives, scope, feasibility, and requirements are identified.
o Stakeholders are involved in discussing the goals and constraints of the system.
o A project plan and timeline are developed.
2. System Analysis
o Detailed analysis of the current system (if applicable) is conducted to identify problems
or inefficiencies.
o User requirements are gathered, documented, and analyzed.
o The outcome is a clear specification of what the new system should achieve.
3. System Design
o Based on the requirements, a blueprint of the system is created.
o The design includes architecture, database structures, user interfaces, and system
workflows.
o Tools like flowcharts and ER diagrams are often used.
5. Testing
o The system is rigorously tested to identify and fix bugs or defects.
o Functional, performance, security, and user acceptance testing are performed.
o The goal is to ensure the system meets the specified requirements and works efficiently.
6. Deployment
o The system is installed in the live environment and made operational.
o Training sessions may be provided to users, and data from the old system (if any) is
migrated to the new system.
o A deployment strategy (e.g., phased or full-scale) is chosen based on the project needs.
7. Maintenance
o After deployment, the system is monitored for performance and reliability.
o Periodic updates, bug fixes, and enhancements are made to adapt to changing needs or
technologies.
o Feedback from users is considered to improve the system further
The School Management System project aims to address the inefficiencies of traditional manual
methods in managing school operations. A detailed analysis of the existing system highlights
challenges such as time-consuming administrative tasks, errors in data handling, and limited
communication among stakeholders.
Through this project, we propose a centralized platform to streamline activities like student
record management, attendance tracking, fee processing, and report generation. The system will
automate repetitive tasks, improve data accuracy, and enhance communication between teachers,
students, and parents.
This analysis ensures that the system is user-friendly, secure, and scalable, meeting the dynamic
needs of schools while reducing administrative overhead. The solution aligns with modern
technological practices, making it a practical and effective approach to school management.
1. Time Efficiency
Manual processes like maintaining student records, tracking attendance, and fee
management are time-consuming. The new system will automate these tasks, saving
valuable time for administrative staff and teachers.
2. Error Reduction
Manual data handling is prone to human errors, leading to inaccuracies in records and
reports. The automated system ensures data accuracy and reduces discrepancies.
3. Centralized Data Management
In traditional methods, information is often scattered across various registers and files.
The new system will centralize all data, making it easily accessible and manageable.
4. Enhanced Communication
Communication between teachers, parents, and students is often limited and inefficient.
The system will provide a platform for seamless interaction, improving engagement and
collaboration.
5. Scalability and Flexibility
As schools grow, managing increasing amounts of data becomes challenging. The new
system will be scalable and flexible, accommodating the evolving needs of the institution.
6. Transparency and Accountability
The new system will offer transparent processes, such as fee payment tracking and
attendance monitoring, ensuring accountability for all stakeholders.
7. Better Decision-Making
With automated report generation and real-time data analysis, the system will provide
insights to help administrators and teachers make informed decisions.
8. Security and Privacy
The new system will ensure secure data storage and restricted access, protecting sensitive
information from unauthorized use.
The need for a School Management System arises from the growing demand for efficiency,
accuracy, and technological integration in educational institutions. This system will modernize
school operations, creating a more organized and productive learning environment.
SAVE TIME
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It is
widely used for web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, automation,
and scripting. Python emphasizes code readability, which makes it easy to learn and understand. Python
supports object-oriented programming and has strong support for multiple programming paradigms,
such as procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming. It is also known for its powerful
ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, TensorFlow, and Scikit-
learn, which facilitate data analysis, machine learning, and scientific research.
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard programming language used for managing
and manipulating relational databases. It allows users to interact with databases by performing
operations such as retrieving, inserting, updating, and deleting data. SQL is widely used for
querying databases and is essential for tasks in data management, application development, and
data analysis. SQL is fundamental to working with databases in web development, business analytics,
data science, and various other fields. Its declarative nature makes it efficient for managing and querying
large datasets.
The project is divided into several modules or components, each handling a specific
functionality. The key modules can be:
The database connection module is responsible for establishing a connection between the Python
application and the MySQL database. It handles the connection, cursor creation, and query
execution.
3. Student Management Module
This module is responsible for managing student data such as adding new students, updating
student records, and displaying student details. It interacts with the students table in the
database.
4. Teacher Management Module
Similar to the student module, this module handles operations for managing teacher data like
adding new teachers, viewing teacher details, and updating records. It communicates with the
teachers table.
5. Attendance Management Module
This module manages the attendance records of students, including marking attendance and
viewing attendance history. It works with the attendance table.
6. Fee Management Module
This module handles fee payment records. It includes functions to mark fee payments, view fee
statuses, and generate fee-related reports. It operates on the fees table.
7. Main Application Interface
The main.py file serves as the interface where users interact with the system. It presents a menu
and allows users to choose operations like adding students, viewing attendance, and generating
reports. Each option corresponds to a function from the above modules.
Design Principles Followed
Modularity: Each module is designed to perform specific tasks related to a particular part of the
system, making the code reusable and easy to maintain.
Separation of Concerns: Database operations are abstracted into a separate module, making it
easier to modify or upgrade the database connection logic without affecting other parts of the
system.
User Interaction: The main.py file acts as the user interface where all the operations can be
accessed via a simple menu, ensuring a smooth interaction with the system.
Error Handling: Basic error handling is implemented in each module to catch database
connection issues or query execution errors.
Maintenance
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 assess the system security and issue a security certification and
accreditation prior to installation/implementation.
> Testing at the development facility by the contractor and possibly supported by end users
> Testing as a deployed system with end users working together with contract personnel
Operational testing by the end user alone pertableing all functions. Requirements are traced throughout
testing a final Independent Verification & Validation evaluation is pertableed and all documentation is
reviewed and accepted prior to acceptance of the
system.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
PHASE
The system operation is ongoing. The system is monitored for continued pertableance 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.
Conduct periodic assessments of the system to ensure the functional requirements continue to be
satisfied.
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 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
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, 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)
⚫ api testing - Testing of the application using Public and Private APIs.
For example, the test designer can create tests to cause all statements
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.
