Literature Review (SAMPLE)

“Daily Expense Tracker” a Project Report by Rashna Maharjan

Riju Maharjan Nishu Bhagat ‘2018’.
Tracking daily expense is not so innovative. Many traditional and
technological approach is found to track our expenses and budget with
their own functionality. From decades ago, and today we have been
writing our expenditure in a register to calculate the profit or saving. Not
only this many desktop and mobile applications has been developed for
this purpose. Quicken and Microsoft money where the first desktop
applications was developed decades ago but was not so familiar with the
users. Personal capital and dollar bird application were used to visualize
the expenses in chart or graphs with the calendar system. QuickBooks
were the application for the small business holder to wrap up their whole
business. YNAB and Penny were the latest application which were
embedded with AI and applicable for importing expenses automatically.
However, Mint was the one which was widely used and trusted.

8
Explaining about the latest application built in this category, YNAB
is an expense tracker that gives the automatic tracking of our
expense through our bank account or credit cards. We can also
define expenses that may take place in future so that we do not go
out of bound. This application is mobile friendly and is emerging
since 2013. This application is embedded with AI to define and
manage our daily expenses.
This application does not give any detail information about out
expenses while our application will get that information via text and
image. Moreover, we will be working on the GPS tracking of the
possible places where user is supposed to expense his/her amount.
This feature is also not included by YNAB.

Relationships:
• User - Budget Relationship:
• Each user can have one budget (One-to-one

relationship).
• user.userID is referenced by budget.userID.

• User - Expenses Relationship:

• Each user can have multiple expenses (One-to-Many

relationship).
• user.userID is referenced by expenses.userID.

Data Integrity:
• Referential Integrity:

11
 • Foreign keys (userID in budget and expenses) enforce
referential integrity, ensuring that each budget and
expense is associated with an existing user.

1)User Authentication: Allow users to create accounts/login securely to

access their expense data.

2)Expense Logging: Enable users to input various expenses (categories

like food, transportation, bills, etc.) with details such as date, amount,
