CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION:
1.1 Definition:
1.2 Purpose:
1.3 Scope:
• The scope of the project is the system on which the software is installed, i.e., the project is
developed as a desktop application, and it will work for a particular institute. But later on, the
project can be modified to operate online.
1.4 Overview:
• Attendance Management System has two main modules for proper functioning: - The first
module is admin which has the right for creating space for a new batch. Any entry of new
faculty, updating in the subject if necessary, and sending notice. The second module is handled
by the user which can be a faulty or an operator. The user has a right of making daily
attendance and generating the report.

1.7 Architecture:
2.4 Constraints:
Interface is only in English; no other language option is available. User can login with his assigned
username and password, no guest facilities is available.
• We assume that the Office personnel do all the data entry based and the correct values
obtained from forms and registers. We assume that the computers that will use the software
will be part of the college LAN.
• Users with administrator access should be careful in deleting or modifying any information
knowingly or unknowingly which will lead to inconsistency of the database. The end users
of this software are assumed to have basic level of computer knowledge i.e., point and click.

CHAPTER 3
System Analysis:
3.1 Introduction:
• Analysis can be defined as breaking up of any whole so as to find out their nature, function
etc. It defines design as preliminary sketches of; to sketch a pattern or outline for plan. To
plan and carry out especially by artistic arrangement or in a skilful wall. System analysis and
design can be characterized as a set of techniques and processes, a community of interests, a
culture and an intellectual orientation.
• The various tasks in the system analysis include the following. Understanding application.
Planning. Scheduling. Developing candidate solution. Performing trade studies. Performing
cost benefit analysis. Recommending alternative solutions. Supervising, installing and
maintaining the system. This system manages to the analysis of the report creation and
develops manual entry of the student attendance.
• First design the student’s entry form, staff allocation and time table allocation forms. This
project will help the attendance system for the department calculate percentage and reports
for eligibility criteria of examination. The application attendance entry system will provide
flexible report for all students.
• Feasibility analysis begins once the goals are defined. It starts by generating broad possible
solutions, which are possible to give an indication of what the new system should look like.
This is where creativity and imagination are used. Analysts must think up new ways of doing
things- generate new ideas. There is no need to go into the detailed system operation yet.
• The solution should provide enough information to make reasonable estimates about project
cost and give users an indication of how the new system will fit into the organization. It is
important not to exert considerable effort at this stage only to find out that the project is not
worthwhile or that there is a need significantly change the original goal. Feasibility of a new
11
system means ensuring that the new system, which we are going to implement, is efficient
and affordable. There are various types of feasibility to be determined. They are-

throughout of the system. Since these factors are not applicable to the proposed software, it
will suffice if the response tine is high and the transactions are carried out precisely and
quickly.
4.4.2 Reliability
• The software will not be able to connect to the centralized database in the event that the college
LAN fails or in the event of the server being down due to a hardware or software failure.
4.4.3 Availability
• The software will be available only to authorized users of the colleges like teachers to mark
the students’ attendance, student to view their enrolled course, admin to add an update
students records.
4.4.4 Security
• The security requirements deal with the primary security. The software should be handled
only by the administrator and authorized users. Only the administrator has right to assign
permission like creating new accounts and generating password. Only authorized users can
access the system with username and password.
4.4.5 Maintainability
• Backups for database are available.
4.4.6 Portability:
• The Software is a windows-based application and is built in VB.Net and MYSQL so it is
platform independent and is independent of operating system.
4.5 Design Constraints:
• This software provides security. The login form prevents the system from being misused by
unauthorized users. Only an authorized operator will be granted rights to modify as per
requirements. This software is also reliable and fault tolerant. The system developed is
designed to handle invalid inputs.
• Since reliability is major area of concern the system has a backup to avoid data loss. The user
should know the programming language very well that is used to develop software.

5.2 MYSQL
5.2.1 Introduction MySQL
• It is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). RDBMS means R--DB--MS. R
stands for Relational. DB stands for Database, a repository for the information store. The data
in a database is organized into tables, and each table is organized into rows and columns. Each
row in a table is called a record. A record may contain several pieces (called fields) of
information, and each column in a table is known as a field.
• MS stands for Management System, the software that allows you to insert, retrieve, modify,
or delete records. R stands for Relational, indicates a particular kind of DBMS that is good at
relating information stored in one table to information stored in another table by looking for
elements common to each of them. Relational DBMS has the advantage of efficient storage,
and retrieval mechanisms for data, and uses normalization process during design of RDBMS.
5.2.2 Features of MySQL Speed:
• Of course, the speed at which a server-side program runs depends primarily on the server
hardware. Given that the server hardware is optimal, MySQL runs very fast. It supports
clustered servers for demanding applications. Ease of use MySQL is a high-performance,
relatively simple database system. From the beginning, MySQL has typically been
configured, monitored, and managed from the command line.
• However, several MySQL graphical interfaces are available as described below: MySQL
Administrator: This tool makes it possible for administrators to set up, evaluate, and tune their
MySQL database server. This is intended as a replacement for mysqladmin. MySQL Query
Browser: Provides database developers and operators with a graphical database operation
interface. It is especially useful for seeing multiple query plans and result sets in a single user
interface. Configuration Wizard: Administrators can choose from a predefined list of optimal
settings, or create their own.
• MySQL System Tray: Provides Windows-based administrators a single view of their MySQL
instance, including the ability to start and stop their database servers. Cost MySQL is available
free of cost. MySQL is a "Open Source" database. MySQL is part of LAMP (Linux, Apache,
17
MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python) environment, a fast-growing open-source enterprise software
stack.
• More and more companies are using LAMP as an alternative to expensive proprietary
software stacks because of its lower cost, reliability, and documentation. Query Language
Support MySQL understands standards-based SQL (Structured Query Language). Capability
Many clients can connect to the server at the same time. Clients can use multiple databases
simultaneously. You can access MySQL using several interfaces such as command-line
clients, Web browsers. Connectivity and security MySQL is fully networked, and database
can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet, so you can share your data with anyone,
anywhere.
• The connectivity could be achieved with Windows programs by using ODBC drivers. By
using the ODBC connector to MySQL, any ODBC-aware client application (for example,
Microsoft Office, report writers, Visual Basic) can connect to MySQL. Portability MySQL
runs on many varieties of UNIX, as well as on other non-UNIX systems, such as Windows
and OS/1. MySQL runs on hardware from home PCs to high-end server. MySQL can be
installed on Windows XP, Windows Server 1003, Red Hat Fedora Linux, Debian Linux, and
others. MySQL is Open-Source Software Open-Source means that it is possible for anyone to
use and modify.
• Anybody can download MySQL from the Internet and use it without paying anything.
Anybody so inclined can study the source code and change it to fit their needs. MySQL uses
the GPL (GNU General Public License) to define what you may and may not do with the
software in different situations. If you feel uncomfortable with the GPL or need to embed
MySQL into a commercial application you can buy a commercially licensed version from us.
Why use MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use.
• If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL also has a very practical
set of features developed in very close cooperation with our users. MySQL was originally
developed to handle very large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been
successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several years. Though
under constant development, MySQL today offers a rich and very useful set of functions.
• The connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL highly suited for accessing databases on
the Internet. The technical features of MySQL, MySQL is a client/server system that consists
of a multi-threaded SQL server that supports different back ends, several different client
programs and libraries, administrative tools, and several programming interfaces. We also
provide MySQL as a multi-threaded library which you can link into your application to get a
smaller, faster, easier to manage product. MySQL has a lot of contributed software available.

6.3 Input Design:
• Input design is part of overall system design that requires special attention designing input
data is to make the data entered easy and free from errors. The input forms are designed using
the controls available in .NET framework. Input design is the process of converting the user
originated inputs to a computer-based format.
• A system user interacting through a workstation must be able to tell the system whether to
accept the input to produce reports. The collection of input data is considered to be most
21
expensive part of the system design. Since the input has to be planned in such a manner so as
to get relevant information, extreme care is taken to obtain pertinent information.
• This project first will enter to the input of allocation forms it will be created on student details
form and subject entry form, time table form. It will helps to calculate subject wise attendance
system.
6.4 Output Design:
• Output design this application “Student Attendance management system” generally refers to
the results and information that are generated by the system for many end-users; output is the
main reason for developing the system and the basis on which they evaluate the usefulness
of the application.
• The output is designed in such a way that it is attractive, convenient and informative. Forms
are designed with various features, which make the console output more pleasing. As the
outputs are the most important sources of information to the users, better design should
improve the system’s relationships with us and also will help in decision making. Form
design elaborates the way output is presented and the layout available for capturing
information.
• One of the most important factors of the system is the output it produces. This system refers
to the results and information generated. Basically, the output from a computer system is used
to communicate the result of processing to the user. Attendance management system to show
the report subject wise attendance maintaining by staffs. Taken as a whole report obtains on
a administrator privileges only.

System Testing
9.1 Introduction:
• Once source code has been generated, software must be tested to uncover (and correct) as
many errors as possible before delivery to customer. Our goal is to design a series of test cases
that have a high likelihood of finding errors. To uncover the errors software techniques are
used. These techniques provide systematic guidance for designing test that Exercise the
internal logic of software components, and exercise the input and output domains of the
program to uncover errors In program function, behaviour and performance.
• Internal program logic is exercised using ―White box test case design Techniques. Software
requirements are exercised using ―block box test case Design techniques. In both cases, the
intent is to find the maximum number of errors with the Minimum amount of effort and time.
9.2 Testing Methodologies:
• A strategy for software testing must accommodate low-level tests that are necessary to verify
that a small source code segment has been correctly implemented as well as high-level tests
that validate major system functions against customer requirements. A strategy must provide
guidance for the practitioner and a set of milestones for the manager.
• Because the steps of the test strategy occur at a time when deadline pressure begins to rise,
progress must be measurable and problems must surface as early as possible. Following
testing techniques are well known and the same strategy is adopted during this project testing.
9.2.1 Unit testing
• Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design- the software
component or module. The unit test is white-box oriented. The unit testing implemented in
every module of student attendance management System.
• By giving correct manual input to the system, the data are stored in database and retrieved. If
you want required module to access input or gets the output from the End user. Any error will
accrue the time will provide handler to show what type of error will be accrued.
9.2.2 System testing
• System testing is actually a series of different tests whose primary purpose is to fully exercise
the computer-based system. Below we have described the two types of testing which have
been taken for this project.
• It is to check all modules worked on input basis. if you want change any values or inputs will
change all information. so specified input is must.
9.2.3 Performance Testing
• Performance testing is designed to test the run-time performance of software within the
context of an integrated system. Performance testing occurs throughout all steps in the testing
process. Even at the unit level, the performance of an individual module may be assessed as
white-box tests are conducted.
• This project reduces attendance table, codes. it will generate report fast.no have extra time or
waiting of results. entered correct data will show result few milliseconds. just used only low
memory of our system. Automatically do not getting access at another software. Get user
permission and access to other applications.
26
CHAPTER 10
System Maintenance
• Software maintenance is far more than finding mistakes. Provision must be made for
environment changes which may affect either the computer, or other parts of the computer-
based systems. Such activity is normally called maintenance.
• It includes both the Improvement of the system functions and the corrections of faults which
arise during the operation of a new system. It may involve the continuing involvement of a
large proportion of computer Department recourses. The main task may be to adapt existing
system in a changing environment. Back up for the entire database files are taken and stored
in storage devices like Flash drives, pen drives and disks so that it is possible to restore the
system at the earliest.
• If theirs is a breakdown or collage, then the system gives provision to restore database files.
Storing data in a Separate secondary device leads to an effective and efficient maintains of
the system. The nominated person has sufficient knowledge of the organization’s computer
passed proposed change.

Conclusion
Conclusion:
• The Attendance Management System is developed using Visual Basic.NET fully meets the
objectives of the system which it has been developed. The system has reached a steady state
where all bugs have been eliminated.
• The system is operated at a high level of efficiency and all the teachers and user associated
with the system understands its advantage. The system solves the problem. It was intended
to solve as requirement specification.
• The project has a very vast scope in future. The project can be implemented on intranet in
future. Project can be updated in near future as and when requirement for the same arises, as
it is very flexible in terms of expansion.
• With the proposed software of database Space Manager ready and fully functional the client
is now able to manage and hence run the entire work in a much better, accurate and error free
manner.
