 INTRODUCTION

This application is developed in python which is a general purpose. It is good

source of interactivities among students and between the teacher and students.
The software is used on the basis of the Questions asked to the user that belongs
to the Menu topics.

Quiz is a wonderful way to test one’s knowledge. But when it comes to storing
the data is a structured and schematic way it is a hectic task so in order to tackle
this problem, we must have a data management system for this, so this work of
software management will not only help you to store the data but will also help
you to maintain a detailed record of your quiz programme. ENJOY!!!!!!
 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objective of this project is to allow the management to maintain a clean and
structured detail of their quiz programme.

 Apply simple principles effectively when developing small to medium

sized projects.
 Write effective procedural code to store small to medium sized
information.
 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“to err is human” no longer valid, it’s outdated to rationalize your mistake.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 organizations. 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, 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.

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’ job 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 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 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 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. 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
 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 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 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 retired.
