RAILWAY RESERVATION SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The railway reservation system system is basically a database based project done with help of
python language. This project is very use full for the people to book or cancel train tickets by sitting
at home with one cell phone in their hand. This project can be modified for various reservations.

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.

• Write programs utilizing modern software tools.

• Apply object oriented programming principles effectively when developing small to medium
sized projects.

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

• Students will demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in computer science, as exemplified in


the areas of systems, theory and software development.

• Students will demonstrate ability to conduct a research or applied Computer Science


project, requiring writing and presentation skills which exemplify scholarly style in computer science.

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today’s merciless competition where not to wise saying “to err is human” no longer valid, it’s
outdated to rationalize your mistake.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 hard disk of the computer.

One has to use the data management software. Software has been an ascent in atomization various
organisations. Many software products working are now in markets, which have helped in making
the organizations work easier and efficiently. Data management initially had to maintain a lot of
ledgers and a lot of paper work 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 complex
projects into smaller, more easily managed segments 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 ensure the system
is being built to deliver the needed functionality.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, andDevelop 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, is necessary 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 specific activities 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 network requirements 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 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 alevel 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 MasterPlan.
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 scriptprograms during the
development phase. Program designs are c onstructed in various ways. Using
a top-down approach, designers first identify and link majorprogram
components and interfaces, then expand design layouts as they identify and
link smaller subsystems and connections. 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 byAgency 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

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 assess 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

 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 reviewedand
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 ongoing. 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 reenter 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 r

TESTING

Software Testing is an empirical investigation conducted to provide


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

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
