1.) PROBLEM DEFINITION

1.1) INTRODUCTION
The definition of our problem lies in manual system and a fully automated
system.

Manual system: The system is very time consuming and lazy. This system is
more prone to errors and sometimes the approach to various problems is
unstructured.

Technical system : With the advent of latest technology if we do not update

our system then our business result in losses gradually with time. The technical
systems contains the tools of latest trend i.e. computers printers, fax, Internet
etc. The systems with this technology are very fast, accurate, user-friendly and
reliable.

1.4) METHODOLOGY

System Development Life Cycle

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in

project management that describes the stages involved in an information system
development project from an initial feasibility study through maintenance of the
completed application. Various SDLC methodologies have been developed to
guide the processes involved including the waterfall model (the original SDLC
method), rapid application development (RAD), joint application development
(JAD), the fountain model and the spiral model. Mostly, several models are
combined into some sort of hybrid methodology. Documentation is crucial
regardless of the type of model chosen or devised for any application, and is
usually done in parallel with the development process. Some methods work
better for specific types of projects, but in the final analysis, the most important
factor for the success of a project may be how closely particular plan was
followed.

WATERFALL MODEL-SDLC

The waterfall model of development is an example of a Software Development Life Cycle

(SDLC) model. It is called waterfall because of the way it falls down. This visual aspect is
what affects people’s perceptions of what it does and hence how it is implemented.
The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in software development
processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through
the phases of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Production /
Implementation and Maintenance.

2.) FEASIBILITY STUDY

Feasibility study is to check the viability of the project under consideration.
Theoretically various types of feasibilities are conducted, but we have conducted
three type of feasibilities explained as under.

2.1 ECONOMIC FEASIBIITY

With the manual system the operating cost of the system is about 60 Lacks P.A.
This cost comprises salary of 25 people, stationary, building rent, electricity,
water, telephone etc. But with the new system this reoccurring cost comes out to
be about 20 Lakhs P.A. Hence the new system is economically feasible .

2.2 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

The new system requires only 6 trained people to work with the system and in
overall 10 people per office is sufficient. So we will identify 6 best people from
existing system and train them. As our existing system is purely manual, so we
need a one time investment of Rs 4 Lakhs for the purchase of 7 computers, 5
Ticket printers, a laser printer, AC and networking etc. It requires 20 Lacks PA
as a operating cost. With the above details our system is technically feasible as
after investing 24 Lacks in a year, the company is still saving Rs 25 Lacks PA.

2.3 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY.

The new solution is feasible in all sense but operationally it is not. The new
system demands the expulsion of at least 15 people from the company. It creates
an environment of joblessness and fear among the employees. It can lead to an
indefinite strike in the company also. So the management must take corrective
actions prior in advance in order to start the further proceedings

3.) SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Systems analysis is the study of sets of interacting entities, including computer

systems analysis. This field is closely related to requirements
analysis or operations research. It is also "an explicit formal inquiry carried out
to help someone (referred to as the decision maker) identify a better course of
action and make a better decision than he might otherwise have made."
The development of a computer-based information system includes a systems
analysis phase which produces or enhances the data model which itself is a
precursor to creating or enhancing a database. There are a number of different
approaches to system analysis. When a computer-based information system is
developed, systems analysis (according to the Waterfall model) would constitute
the following steps:

§ The development of a feasibility study, involving determining whether a

project is economically, socially, technologically and organizationally
feasible.
§ conducting fact-finding measures, designed to ascertain the requirements of
the system's end-users. These typically span interviews, questionnaires, or
visual observations of work on the existing system.
§ Gauging how the end-users would operate the system (in terms of general
experience in using computer hardware or software), what the system would
be used for etc.

This was the most important phase of my project life cycle .It had connected my
maximum time. The block diagram given bellow depicts various facts which
were understood by one during the analysis phase.

 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

3.2) DATA COLLECTION

In that phase initially I had observed the system by visiting to Indira Gandhi Airport
(domestic terminal) and a few airline reservation agencies: Pardes Airline agencies, Lotus
Airline agencies. The above block diagram is an implementation of this observation.
In the next phase I had various queries in my mind, which I tried to ask from appropriate
authorities A sample of my queries is enclosed as Annex 1.

Q.1 Tick mark the features to be included in the new system?

 Enquiry
 Reservation
 Cancellation
 Report
 Edit
 other specify

Q2. Tick mark that the system should be?

 Multi-user
 Single user

Q3. Tick marks the total time required for the implementation of the project?
 3 months
 6 months
 9 months
 Others specify
Q4. Tick marks the reports to be incorporated?
 List of all passenger
 List of all flights
 List of passenger(date wise)
 List of passenger (flight wise)
 Any other

15 | P a g e
 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

After getting solution my queries I started studying database structure used in the existing
system. In this connection I had come to know about various master files as

In passenger list: Passenger name, Address, tel _ no, d _ o_ b, profession father name,

Fleet info: No aircraft, club_pre_capacity, economic capacity, engine type, cruise speed, air
length,

Flight info: f_name, f_code, f_code, t_exeseat no, t_economic seat no.

Concession: concession name, concession code, class, discount, v_o_t, baggage allowance,
fare.

Move of payment: Passenger code, Date of paid, Current date, cash, Debit, cheque, credit.

Fare: route, destination place, source place, Departure time, Arrival time, Flight code, class,
Fare.

Reservation: Ticket report, PNR, flight code, destination place, source place, departure time
arrival time, Class, number of passenger, Age, sex, Fare, seat.

Enquiry: Ticket no, seat number, pnr.

Cancellation: Pnr, ticket no, Days left, Basic amount, Cancel amount.

Various categories of flight code are display here CD455, IC548, IC7896, IC567, CD445

Flight schedule - gau to Del 12.33 pm to2.33 pm

In this process further I had visited the air port again in order to INTER VIEW people to
know more about the system The main purpose was To analyses the method of calculating
daily income reservation cost generation methods, and few concern things: Duty schedule.

4.) SYSTEM DESIGN

In this phase initially I had designed E-R diagram of the processes, in order to
identify various entities and relationship set, entity set, attributers, link
attributes. The Diagram of this process as under.

After this step we had tried design the data base for the new system and
normalized it

The tables motivated in data dictionaries enclosed as annex II is an outcome of

this step

The symbols of entities are shown below:

7.) SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation is the realization of an application, or execution of a plan,

idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, or policy.
In computer science, an implementation is a realization of a technical
specification or algorithm as a program, software component, or other computer
system through programming and deployment. Many implementations may
exist for a given specification or standard. For example, web browsers contain
implementations of World Wide Web Consortium-recommended specifications,
and software development tools contain implementations of programming
languages.

7.1 Steps implementation

Steps of implementation are:

8.) TESTING, DEBUGGING AND VALIDATION

Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with

information about the quality of the product or service under test. Software testing
can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the
business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test
techniques include, but are not limited to, the process of executing a program or
application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects).
Software testing can be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a
software program/application/product:
1. meets the requirements that guided its design and development;
2. Works as expected; and
3. 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, most of the test effort occurs after
the requirements have been defined and the coding process has been completed.
As such, the methodology of the test is governed by the software development
methodology adopted.

64 | P a g e
 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

8.1) Types of Testing and Validations:

1. The box approach
Software testing methods are traditionally divided into white- and black-box
testing. These two approaches are used to describe the point of view that a test
engineer takes when designing test cases.
1.1 White box testing
White box testing is when the tester has access to the internal data structures
and algorithms including the code that implement these.
Types of white box testing
The following types of white box testing exist:
§ API testing (application programming interface) - testing of the
application using public and private APIs
§ Code coverage - creating tests to satisfy some criteria of code
coverage (e.g., the test designer can create tests to cause all statements
in the program to be executed at least once)
§ Fault injection methods - improving the coverage of a test by
introducing faults to test code paths
§ Mutation testing methods
§ Static testing - White box testing includes all static testing
Test coverage
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
§ Statement coverage, which reports on the number of lines executed to
complete the test

65 | P a g e
 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

They both return a code coverage metric, measured as a percentage.

1.2 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, exploratory testing and specification-based testing.

Specification-based testing: Specification-based testing aims to test the

functionality of software according to the applicable requirements.
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 behavior), 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 do not. 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. As a result, there are situations when
(1) A tester writes many test cases to check something that could have
been tested by only one test case, and/or
(2) Some parts of the back-end are not tested at all.

66 | P a g e
 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

Therefore, black box testing has the advantage of "an unaffiliated opinion",
The one hand, and the disadvantage of "blind exploring", on the other.

1.3 Grey box testing

Grey Box Testing (American spelling: gray box testing) involves having
knowledge of internal data structures and algorithms for purposes of designing
the test cases, but testing at the user, or black-box level. The tester is not
required to have a full access to the software's source code. Manipulating input
data and formatting output do not qualify as grey box, because the input and
output are clearly outside of the "black-box" that we are calling the system
under test. This distinction is particularly important when conducting
integration testing between two modules of code written by two different
developers, where only the interfaces are exposed for test. However, modifying
a data repository does qualify as grey box, as the user would not normally be
able to change the data outside of the system under test. Grey box testing may
also include reverse engineering to determine, for instance, boundary values or
error messages.

By knowing the underlying concepts of how the software works, the tester
makes better-informed testing choices while testing the software from outside.
Typically, a grey box tester will be permitted to set up his testing environment;
for instance, seeding a database; and the tester can observe the state of the
product being tested after performing certain actions. For instance, he/she may
fire an SQL query on the database and then observe the database, to ensure that
the expected changes have been reflected. Grey box testings implements
intelligent test scenarios, based on limited information. This will particularly
apply to data type handling, exception handling, and so on.

In this phases I had tried to check all the modules separately for there proper
formatting.

After this step I had performed a unit test to check the functionality of the whole
system.

Further I had come to know to add certain validation in project as given below:

1) Table name- Customer information

Field name –Customer name
Data type -Text.
When we enter number in the form then it show wrong .Because it is not number
type, it is a character. So it show wrong value.

2) Table name _Customer information

Field name- Departure time, Arrival time
Data type- Date/Time.
When we enter 12.33 then it automatically shows 12.33pm.
When we enter 11.33 then it automatically shows 11.33am.

3) Table name –Flight information

Field name- Flight-code
Data type- number
When we Put any other value or character then it ask validity check.

9.) MAINTAINENCE
Software Maintenance in software engineering is the modification of a software
product after delivery to correct faults, to improve performance or other
attributes.
A common perception of maintenance is that it merely involves fixing defects.
However, one study indicated that the majority, over 80%, of the maintenance
effort is used for non-corrective actions (Pigosky 1997). This perception is
perpetuated by users submitting problem reports that in reality are functionality
enhancements to the system.
Software maintenance and evolution of systems was first addressed by Meir M.
Lehman in 1969. Over a period of twenty years, his research led to the
formulation of Lehman's Laws (Lehman 1997). Key findings of his research
include that maintenance is really evolutionary development and that
maintenance decisions are aided by understanding what happens to systems
(and software) over time. Lehman demonstrated that systems continue to evolve
over time. As they evolve, they grow more complex unless some action such
as code refactoring is taken to reduce the complexity.

9.1 Types of Maintenance

· Corrective

Corrective software maintenance involves developing and deploying solutions

to problems ("bugs") that arise during use of a software program. Computer
users will notice performance problems with software, such as error messages
coming on the screen or the program freezing or crashing, meaning corrective
software maintenance is needed. Often these fixes permanently solve the
problem, but not always. Some fixes act as a temporary solution while computer
programmers work on a more permanent solution.

· Perfective

No software program contains zero flaws or areas for improvement. Perfective

software maintenance involves computer programmers working to improve the
way a software program functions or how quickly it processes requests.
Programmers may also engage in perfective software maintenance to improve
the software's menu layouts and command interfaces. Sometimes programmers
need to conduct perfective maintenance on software because of outside
influences, such as new government regulations that affect how a business
operates.

· Adaptive

The field of technology constantly changes through both hardware and software
developments. Adaptive software maintenance addresses these changes. A
change in a processor's speed, for example, will affect how the software
performs on a single computer. Software interacts with other software programs
on a computer or network, meaning changes in one program can require

70 | P a g e
 AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

changes in other programs. A user will eventually introduce new software to the
computer or network, which can also affect how other software already present
operates.

· Preventative

When computer programmers engage in preventative software maintenance

they try to prevent problems with software programs before they occur.
Programmers seek to prevent corrective maintenance as much as possible, while
also anticipating adaptive maintenance needs before users experience problems.
Computer programmers test software, as automotive companies test the vehicles
they make, to make sure the software can handle high data loads and other
stressful operations without problems. Computer programmers also test the
software with other programs users likely will use on their computers, making
sure compatibility issues do not arise.

10. CONCLUTION

Though the system still containing lot of scope of improvement in it. But its
overall look and feel gives rough picture of on existing automation system.

I have take MS-Access at backhand but it has a limitation of 1 GB size .It over
data size approaches this 1gb some other database the SQL server ,oracle, can
be used with OBBC to break this barrier.

When looking for solid AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM software, you

want to find a solution that gives you the easy way of booking ticket. Naturally,
you first want to find the software that meets your needs, both now and in the
future. Engineering is based on designing different projects. Nowadays,” most
products and systems are becoming more complex in nature, and there is an
increasing demand relative to new product technology applications at a time
when our natural resources are dwindling” now that’s where engineering jumps
in. Business depending on natural resources is no longer in a safe position.
Engineering and engineers are not only useful for the technologies and
machineries in the business world, but it is also constructive in different
components of business such as entertainment, telecommunication and etc.

11. SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENT

Airline reservations systems contain airline schedules, fare tariffs, passenger

reservations and ticket records. An airline's direct distribution works within
their own reservation system, as well as pushing out information to the
GDS. Second types of direct distribution channel are consumers who use the
internet or mobile applications to make their own reservations. Travel
agencies and other indirect distribution channels access the same GDS as
those accessed by the airlines' reservation systems, and all messaging is
transmitted by a standardized messaging system that functions on two types
of messaging that transmit on SITA's HLN [high level network]. These
message types are called Type A [TTY] for remarks-like communications
and Type B [EDIFCT] for secured information. Message construction
standards are set by IATA and ICAO, are global, and apply to more than air
transportation. Since airline reservation systems are business critical
applications, and their functionally quite complex, the operation of an in-
house airline reservation system is relatively expensive.
