1.1 - Scope of Project

The project is a web Application that is to be hosted on a web server. Any
Student/Person will be able to access the web application by using internet. This web
application will facilitate the Student/Person can visit this web application and apply online
for school admission and Teacher mark attendance and upload result. Student and Parent
can view attendance and results online. After the admission and registrations give the user
name and password to the student . Students and their parents view student reports (results
And attendance). And Student can send leave application online.
The project will facilitate the student and parents to quickly view reports of the
student at any time. The interface of web application will be very user friendly. Even the
end users that are not so much computer literate or have not much experience in surfing the
Internet will feel very easy to navigate the web application home page like website. For the
purpose, the web application is to be very simple and straightforward. The website will not
have lot of text, links, graphics and advertisements on a single webpage to confuse the
user. Whatever the user will see will actually be valuable.
Admin can change system and insert, update, delete user accounts and manage
class routine, exam results, fee of students and he can manage classes, sections, manage
students, subjects, manage teachers after approved the addition of student. Admin can
seething, his on login details

There is a public notes board. Every user can view notes board appeared on the
front page of the web application

will wait for a long time waiting the web application to be loaded

1.3 - Use Cases

A use case is a methodology used in system analysis to identify, clarify, and organize
system requirements. In this context, the term "system" refers to something being
developed or operated, such as a mail-order product sales and service Web site. Use case

diagrams are employed in UML (Unified Modeling Language), a standard notation for the
modeling of real-world ob A use case diagram at its simplest is a representation of
a user's interaction with the system that shows the relationship between the user
and the different use cases in which the user is involved. A use case diagram can
identify the different types of users of a system and the different use cases and will
often be accompanied by other types of diagrams as well jects and systems.

CHAPTER 2
Planning the Project

26
Division of Science & Technology Township Campus Lahore
 SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2.1 - Introduction of the Planning Phase

The planning phase illustrates the methodology adopted for the project and how the
project is scheduled. It includes existing methodologies, adopted methodologies and
reasons to choose the methodology. It also includes a Gantt chart to show how the project
is scheduled.
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.
Software project planning is an activity carried out by the project manager to
estimate and address Software scope estimation, Resource requirement, Time requirement,
and Structural decomposition and Risk analysis and planning. Software scope describes the
data and control to be processed, function, performance, constraints, interfaces, and
reliability. Determination of the software scope is a prerequisite of all sorts of estimates,
including, resources, time, and budget.
As this is an educational project so planning phase does not cover financial aspects
and risk management. Other aspects like time requirement, structural decomposition and
software life cycle methodologies are covered in detail in this document.

2.2 - Methodologies

2.2.1 - Existing Methodologies

Many methodologies have been evolved for the development of the Software system. All
of them have certain advantages and disadvantages and are appropriate in certain
circumstances and nature of software systems. A few of them include Build and fix model,
Waterfall model, Rapid prototyping mode, Incremental model, Extreme programming,
Synchronize and stabilize model, spiral model. Here is some detail of them.

2.2.1.1 - Build and Fix Model

27
Division of Science & Technology Township Campus Lahore
 SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This is the simplest model of software development; the system is constructed with
minimal requirements and generally with no specification. This is the mostly used
approach. There is just a main loop of development and feedback, the system is continually
modified according to the feedback of the client.

2.2.1.2 - Rapid Prototyping Model

The Rapid Prototyping Model is used to overcome issues related to understanding

and capturing of user requirements. In this model a mock-up application is created
“rapidly” to solicit feedback from the user. Once the user requirements are captured in the
prototype to the satisfaction of the user, a proper requirement specification document is
developed and the product is developed from scratch.
An essential aspect of rapid prototype is embedded in the word “rapid”. The
developer should endeavor to construct the prototype as quickly as possible to speed up the
software development process. It must always be kept in mind that the sole purpose of the
rapid prototype is to capture the client’s needs; once this has been determined, the rapid
prototype is effectively discarded. For this reason, the internal structure of the rapid
prototype is not relevant.

2.2.1.3 - Synchronize and Stabilize Model:

This is yet another form of incremental model adopted by Microsoft. In this model,
during the requirements analysis interviews of potential customers are conducted and
requirements document is developed. Once these requirements have been captured,
specifications are drawn up. The project is then divided into 3 or 4 builds. Each build is
carried out by small teams working in parallel. At the end of each day the code is
synchronized (test and debug) and at the end of the build it is stabilized by freezing the
build and removing any remaining defects. Because of the synchronizations, components
always work together. The presence of an executable provides early insights into operation
of product.

28
Division of Science & Technology Township Campus Lahore
 SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2.2.1.4- Spiral Model:

This model was developed by Barry Boehm. The main idea of this model is to avert
risk as there is always an element of risk in development of software. For example, key
personnel may resign at a critical juncture, the manufacturer of the software development
may go bankrupt, etc.

In its simplified form, the Spiral Model is Waterfall model plus risk analysis. In this case
each stage is preceded by identification of alternatives and risk analysis and is then
followed by evaluation and planning for the next phase. If risks cannot be resolved,
project is immediately terminated.

2.2.2 - Adopted Methodology

The adapted methodology for the current project is the Hybrid Process model.
Hybrid Process model is a combination of the waterfall and spiral models.

29
Division of Science & Technology Township Campus Lahore
 SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Waterfall Model is a documentation-driven model. It therefore generates

complete and comprehensive documentation and hence makes the maintenance task much
easier. It however suffers from the fact that the client feedback is received when the
product is finally delivered and hence any errors in the requirement specification are not
discovered until the product is sent to the client after completion. This therefore has major
time and cost related consequences.
In its simplified form, the Spiral Model is Waterfall model plus risk analysis. In this
case each stage is preceded by identification of alternatives and risk analysis and is then
followed by evaluation and planning for the next phase. If risks cannot be resolved,
Project is immediately terminated.
The LLU Process model uses both of these models the waterfall model and the
spiral model. In fact the spiral model already contains the waterfall model.

2.2.3 - Reasons for choosing the Methodology

The drawbacks with the waterfall model are due to the fact that the entire product is
developed and delivered to the client in one package. This results in delayed feedback from
the client. Because of the long elapsed time, a huge new investment of time and money
may be required to fix any errors of omission or commission or to accommodate any new
requirements cropping up during this period. The Hybrid Process model can be used to
overcome these issues.

3.1 – Introduction to Design Phase

Design and analysis phase is the key stage in the development of the project. This provides
the real architecture, flow and database design of the project. It includes data flow diagram,
activity diagram, sequence diagram, ER Diagram, Architecture diagram etc. All of these
describe functionally and design of the proposed system.
The purpose of the design phase of a project is to plan out a system that meets the
requirements defined in the analysis phase. In the design phase, the project team defines
the means of implementing the project solution – how the product will be created.
Design phase provide the project team with a means for assessing the quality of the
solution before it has been implemented, when changes are still easy to make and are less
costly.

3.2 - Overview
The project is a web Application that is to be hosted on a web server.
Any Student/Person will be able to access the web application by using internet. This web
application will facilitate the Student/Person can visit this web application and apply online
for school admission and Teacher mark attendance and upload result. Student and Parent’s
can view attendance and results online .After the admission and registration give the user
name and password to the student. Students and there parents view student reports results
and attendance). And Student can send leave application online.

1.5 - Activity Diagrams

Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise

activities and actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In
the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both
computational and organizational processes (i.e. workflows). Activity diagrams
show the overall flow of control.

3.6 Sequence Diagrams

A Sequence diagram is an interaction diagram that shows how objects operate
with one another and in what order. It is a construct of a Message Sequence
Chart. A sequence diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence.
It depicts the objects and classes involved in the scenario and the sequence of
messages exchanged between the objects needed to carry out the functionality of
the scenario. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case
realizations in the Logical View of the system under development. Sequence
diagrams are sometimes called event diagrams or event scenarios.

Sequence Diagram

3.7 - Class Diagram

43
Division of Science & Technology Township Campus Lahore
 SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The class diagram is a static diagram. It represents the static view of

an application. Class diagram is not only used for visualizing,
describing and documenting different aspects of a system but also for
constructing executable code of the software application.

The class diagram describes the attributes and operations of a class

and also the constraints imposed on the system. The class diagrams
are widely used in the modeling of object oriented systems because
they are the only UML diagrams which can be mapped directly with
object oriented languages.

3.8 - Database Design

Database design is the process of producing a detailed data model of database.

This data model contains all the needed logical and physical design choices and

physical storage parameters needed to generate a design in a data definition

language, which can then be used to create a database.
