4.1 UML DIAGRAMS

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized, general-purpose modeling

language used in object-oriented software engineering. It serves as a common language for
developers, analysts, and stakeholders to understand, communicate, and document the
structure and behavior of software systems. UML consists of two major components: a Meta-
model and a notation. The Meta-model defines the abstract syntax and semantics of UML,
establishing the rules and concepts that govern how UML diagrams are structured and
interpreted. The notation comprises a set of graphical symbols and diagrams used to represent
various aspects of a system's architecture, including classes, objects, relationships, behaviors,
and interactions. UML diagrams provide a visual representation of a system's architecture,
making it easier for stakeholders to grasp its complexities and relationships. They serve as
documentation artifacts that capture important design decisions, requirements, and
constraints throughout the software development lifecycle. Additionally, UML diagrams
facilitate communication among team members by providing a common language and visual
vocabulary for discussing system designs and requirements. With types like Class Diagrams,
Use Case Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, State Diagrams, and
Deployment Diagrams, UML enables software engineers to model systems comprehensively
from different perspectives. Overall, UML plays a crucial role in the software development
process, promoting good design practices and guiding the implementation phase to ensure
that the final product aligns with the intended design.

4.1.1 USECASE DIAGRAM

A Use case Diagram is used to present a graphical overview of the functionality

provided by a system in terms of actors, their goals and any dependencies between those
use cases. Use case diagram consists of two parts: Use case: A use case describes a
sequence of actions that provided something of measurable value to an actor and is drawn
as a horizontal ellipse. Actor: An actor is a person, organization or external system that
plays a role in one or more interaction with the system.

Figure 2: Use Case Diagram for representing the actors performing their work

14
4.1.1 Activity Diagram:

Activity diagram is a graphical representation of workflows of stepwise activities and

actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. An activity diagram shows the
overall flow of control.
The most important shape types:

• Rounded rectangles represent activities.

• Diamonds represent decisions.

• Bars represent the start or end of concurrent activities.

• A black circle represents the start of the workflow.

• An encircled circle represents the end of the workflow.

4.1.2 Sequence Diagram:

A Sequence diagram is a kind of interaction diagram that shows how processes operate
with one another and in what order. It is a construct of Message Sequence diagrams are
sometimes called event diagrams, event sceneries and timing diagram.

16
4.1.3 class diagram

Class diagrams are a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram used in software
engineering to visually represent the structure and relationships of classes within a system
i.e. used to construct and visualize object-oriented systems.

4.2 DATAFLOW DIAGRAM

A data flow diagram (DFD) maps out the flow of information for any process or
system. It uses defined symbols like rectangles, circles and arrows, plus short text labels, to
show data inputs, outputs, storage points and the routes between each destination. Data
flowcharts can range from simple, even hand-drawn process overviews, to in-depth, multi-
level DFDs that dig progressively deeper into how the data is handled. They can be used to
analyze an existing system or model a new one.

• Here in our project, we have three DFDS

1.Zero-level DFD
2.First-level-DFD
3.Second-level DFD

 5 . HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

A Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is a document that specifies the functional and
non- functional requirements of a software system. It often comprises a description of the
system's features, restrictions, and performance needs, as well as any external interfaces and
dependencies. The SRS document acts as a template for the development team and a foundation
for validating that the system satisfies the demands of the stakeholders. Some significant
components to consider are functional requirements, dysfunctional requirements, user interface,
data needs, and performance.

5.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

1. Hard Disk : 500 GB and above.

2. Processor : i3 and above.

3. Ram : 4GB and above.

5.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

• Development Environment : Java Development Kit (JDK)

 7. TESTING

7.1 TESTING

Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error. A good test
case is one that has a high probability of finding an as-yet –undiscovered error. A successful
test is one that uncovers an as-yet- undiscovered error. System testing is the stage of
implementation, which is aimed at ensuring that the system works accurately and efficiently
as expected before live operation commences. It verifies that the whole set of programs hang
together. System testing requires a test consists of several key activities and steps for run
program, string, system and is important in adopting a successful new system. A good test case
design is one that as a probability of finding an yet undiscovered error. A successful test is one
that uncovers a yet undiscovered error.

Any engineering product can be tested in one of the two ways:

7.1.1 WHITE BOX TESTING
This testing is also called as Glass box testing. In this testing, by knowing the specific
functions that a product has been design to perform test can be conducted that demonstrate
each function is fully operational at the same time searching for errors in each function. It is a
test case design method that uses the control structure of the procedural design to derive test
cases. Basis path testing is a white box testing.

7.1.2 BLACK BOX TESTING

In this testing by knowing the internal operation of a product, test can be conducted to ensure
that “all gears mesh”, that is the internal operation performs according to specification and
all internal components have been adequately exercised. It fundamentally focuses on the
functional requirements of the software. It verifies that the whole set of programs hang
together. System testing requires a test consists of several key activities and steps for run
program, string, system and is important in adopting a successful new system.
It fundamentally focuses on the functional requirements of the software. It verifies that the
whole set of programs hang together.

34
7.1.3 SOFTWARE TESTING STRATEGIES:
A software testing strategy provides a road map for the software developer. Testing is a set
activity that can be planned in advance and conducted systematically. For this reason a
template for software testing a set of steps into which we can place specific test case design
methods should be strategy should have the following characteristics.
7.1.4 INTEGRATION TESTING:
Integration testing is a systematic technique for constructing the program structure while at
the same time conducting tests to uncover errors associated with. Individual modules, which
are highly prone to interface errors, should not be assumed to work instantly when we put
them together. The problem of course, is “putting them together”- interfacing. There may be
the chances of data lost across on another’s sub functions, when combined may not produce
the desired major function; individually acceptable impression may be magnified to
unacceptable levels; global data structures can present problems.
7.1.5 UNIT TESTING:
Unit testing is conducted to verify the functional performance of each modular component of
the software. Unit testing focuses on the smallest unit of the software design (i.e.), the module.
The white-box testing techniques were heavily employed for unit testing.

7.1.6 FUNCTIONAL TESTING:

Functional test cases involved exercising the code with nominal input values for which the
expected results are known, as well as boundary values and special values, such as logically
related inputs, files of identical elements, and empty files.
7.1.7 SYSTEM TESTING
Testing is performed to identify errors. It is used for quality assurance. Testing is an
integral part of the entire development and maintenance process. The goal of the testing
during phase is to verify that the specification has been accurately and completely
incorporated into the design, as well as to ensure the correctness of the design itself. For
example, the design must not have any logic faults in the design is detected before coding
commences, otherwise the cost of fixing the faults will be considerably higher as reflected.
Detection of design faults can be achieved by means of inspection as well as walkthrough.
Testing is one of the important steps in the software development phase.
