1.3 EXISTING SYSTEM

Now a days in many expense tracker applications we can see the expenses we do but we

cannot classify them and we cannot generate statistical reports .And many applications

doesn’t have proper authentication . We cannot define pre –defined expenses and these

types of applications cannot have good performance, supportability. In many of the

applications there is no pictorial presentation.

1.3.1 DISADVANTAGES

 Limited Classification: Existing systems often lack robust classification features,

making it challenging for users to categorize expenses effectively. This limitation leads

to cluttered records and hampers the ability to analyze spending patterns accurately.

3
 Absence of Statistical Reporting: The inability to generate comprehensive

statistical reports deprives users of valuable insights into their financial habits and

trends. Without such reports, users struggle to make informed decisions about

budgeting and expense management.

 Weak Authentication Measures: Many existing systems suffer from weak or

inadequate authentication protocols, leaving user data vulnerable to unauthorized

access and potential breaches. This compromises the security and confidentiality of

sensitive financial information.

 Lack of Predefined Expense Options: The absence of predefined expense

categories in current systems results in a manual and time-consuming process for users

to organize their spending. This lack of predefined options diminishes user

convenience and efficiency.

 Poor Performance and Support: Some existing systems exhibit subpar

performance and lack adequate support mechanisms, leading to user frustration and

dissatisfaction. Issues such as slow loading times, system crashes, and limited

customer support hinder the overall user experience and adoption of the platform.

1.4 PROPOSED SYSTEM

This application consists of graphs and the bars to show the expenses in the pictorial
representation and proper authentication so it is very secure user can set boundaries for the
expenses and user can also mention their requirement of usage of the money like medical
, groceries , fees , bills etc. user can also see his expenses is increasing or decreasing .

4
1.4.1 LIMITATIONS

 Graphical Representation of Expenses: Use graphs and charts to visually

represent expenses over time. Bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, and other
visualizations can help users understand their spending patterns.

 Authentication and Security: Implement secure authentication mechanisms such

as username/password, biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition), or
two-factor authentication (2FA) to ensure only authorized users can access the app and
their financial data.

 Expense Categories and Customization: Allow users to categorize their

expenses based on their needs (e.g., medical, groceries, fees, bills, entertainment, etc.).
Enable users to create custom categories or subcategories to match their specific
spending habits.

 Budgeting and Expense Limits: Provide functionality for users to set budget
limits for each expense category. Alert users when they are approaching or exceeding
their budget limits for specific categories.

 Usage Tracking and Trends: Allow users to track their expenses over time and
observe trends in their spending habits .Provide insights or reports on how expenses
are changing over time, allowing users to identify areas where they can potentially
save money.

 Expense Tracking and Management: Enable users to manually input their

expenses or integrate with bank accounts and credit cards to automatically import
transaction data. Allow for easy editing, categorizing, and deleting of expenses.

4.4 UML DIAGRAMS

UML is a standard visual language used for displaying, defining, building, and
documenting software system components. It offers a shared lexicon and collection of
graphics for expressing software plans clearly and succinctly. UML diagrams have
different functions at different stages of the software development process. They allow
software engineers, designers, and stakeholders to comprehend the system's organization,
functioning, and connections.

UML diagrams are classified into structural, behavioural, and interaction diagrams.
Structural diagrams, like class diagrams, component diagrams, and object diagrams, show
the system's static structure, which includes classes, objects, components, and their
relationships. Diagrams such as activity diagrams, state machine diagrams, and use case
diagrams depict the dynamic behaviour and functionality of the system, demonstrating its
response to stimuli and progression over time. Sequence diagrams and collaboration
diagrams show how system components communicate with each other during runtime.

UML diagrams serve different purposes in software development. In the beginning phases
of system analysis and design, they assist with collecting requirements, creating conceptual
models, and designing the architecture. UML diagrams act as guides for developers during
implementation by offering a comprehensive grasp of system structure and behaviour.
They help team members communicate effectively, making sure everyone understands the

19
system's design and functionality. Moreover, UML diagrams help with system
documentation, simplifying the task of software developers in managing and advancing the
software as time goes by.

Utilizing UML diagrams in software development requires choosing the right types of
diagrams according to the project's specific needs and situation. Developers utilize these
tools to transform abstract designs into tangible representations, continuously improving
them through iterations as the software is developed.

4.4.1 USE CASE DIAGRAM

A use case diagram is a visual representation of different interactions between actors (users
or external systems) and a system under consideration. It depicts various scenarios of how
users or external systems interact with the system to achieve specific goals. In essence, it
provides a high-level overview of the system's functionalities from a user's perspective.

Typically, a use case diagram consists of actors, use cases, and their relationships. Actors
represent roles played by users or external systems, while use cases represent specific
functionalities or tasks the system can perform. The relationships between actors and use
cases illustrate the interactions or communication between them.

For example, in a banking system, actors could include customers, tellers, and
administrators, while use cases might include "Withdraw Money," "Deposit Money,"
"Transfer Funds," and "Generate Account Statement." The relationships between these
actors and use cases depict how they interact with the system to accomplish tasks.

Use case diagrams are valuable tools during the early stages of system development as they
help stakeholders understand the system's functionality requirements and its interaction
with users or external systems. They aid in identifying system boundaries, defining user
roles, and clarifying system behavior.

20
Overall, a use case diagram serves as a blueprint for understanding the functional
requirements of a system, facilitating communication between stakeholders, and guiding
the development process towards building a system that meets user needs and expectations.

The use case diagram for an expense tracker system outlines the various interactions
between actors and the system to achieve specific tasks. Actors typically include users and
external systems. In this diagram, users are represented as primary actors, such as "User"
and "Administrator," while external systems might include "Banking API" or "Notification
Service." Use cases depict specific functionalities the system offers, like "Record
Expense," "Set Budget," "Generate Expense Report," and "Notify User." Relationships

21
between actors and use cases illustrate how users interact with the system to accomplish
tasks, such as a user recording an expense or setting a budget. Additionally, secondary
actors like "Email Service" may be involved in supporting functionalities like sending
notifications. Overall, the use case diagram serves as a visual guide for understanding the
system's functionalities from a user's perspective, aiding in requirement analysis,
communication among stakeholders, and system development.

4.4.2 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM

An activity diagram is a visual depiction showing the sequence of actions in a system or

process. It is a component of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and is commonly
utilized in software development to visually represent the process of completing a specific
task or reaching a certain objective.

Activity diagrams in software development have multiple functions. Firstly, they offer a
straightforward summary of the workflow, making it simpler for stakeholders to grasp the
sequence of activities in a process. Having clear communication helps team members,
clients, and other stakeholders understand how the software should work, fostering a shared
understanding.

Additionally, activity diagrams can help pinpoint possible bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or

uncertainties in a process. By visualizing how tasks are carried out, developers can identify
areas to improve or adjust, ultimately boosting the software's performance and user
experience.

Using specific modelling tools in software development is commonly done to efficiently

create, edit, and analyse activity diagrams. These tools frequently offer functions like drag-
and-drop, automatic layout adjustments, and integration with other UML diagrams to
enhance collaboration and iteration during software development. Moreover, software
documentation can include activity diagrams, which act as useful resources for future
maintenance, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer. In software development, activity
diagrams play a crucial role in simplifying the development process, enhancing
communication, and improving the quality of the final product.

22
The activity diagram for an expense tracker system depicts the workflow of various
activities involved in managing expenses. It begins with the initiation of the process,
typically with a start node, representing the beginning of the activity flow. Users then
proceed to log in to the system, followed by accessing the main menu where they have
options such as adding an expense, viewing expenses, setting budgets, or logging out. Upon
selecting an option, users engage in specific activities such as adding an expense or setting
a budget, represented by action nodes. These activities may involve interactions with the
system's interface and data entry. After completing an activity, users can choose to perform
additional tasks or log out, leading to different branches or loops in the activity flow. The
diagram also includes decision nodes to represent conditional branching based on user

23
choices, such as whether to add another expense or view previous expenses. Finally, the
activity flow concludes with users logging out of the system. Overall, the activity diagram
provides a visual representation of the sequential flow of activities within the expense
tracker system, guiding users through various functionalities and decision points to
efficiently manage their expenses.

4.4.3 SEQUENCE DIAGRAM

A sequence diagram is a type of interaction diagram in Unified Modeling Language (UML)

that depicts the interactions between objects or components within a system over time. It
illustrates the flow of messages or actions between different entities in a chronological
order, showing how they communicate and collaborate to accomplish a particular task or
scenario. Each object or participant in the system is represented as a lifeline, typically
depicted as a vertical line, and the messages exchanged between them are represented by
horizontal arrows. The sequence diagram provides a visual representation of the dynamic
behavior of a system, capturing the sequence of events and the order in which they occur.
It helps in understanding the runtime behavior of a system, identifying potential issues such
as race conditions or bottlenecks, and designing effective communication protocols
between system components. Sequence diagrams are commonly used during the design
phase of software development to model the interactions between different modules or
subsystems and are valuable for both developers and stakeholders to comprehend the
system's behavior and functionality. They are particularly useful for documenting and
communicating complex system behaviors in a concise and intuitive manner, facilitating
effective collaboration among team members and ensuring the successful implementation
of software systems.

24
A sequence diagram for an expense tracker system depicts the interactions between various
components when a user interacts with the system to manage their expenses. At the outset,
the user initiates the interaction by logging into the system. Upon successful authentication,
the system retrieves the user's existing expenses and displays them. The user then proceeds
to add, edit, or delete expenses as needed. Each action triggers corresponding method calls
in the system, such as addingExpense(), editExpense(), or deleteExpense(). Furthermore,
the user may also set budgets for different expense categories, which involves interactions
with the system's setBudget() method. Throughout these interactions, the system verifies
permissions and data integrity to ensure security and accuracy. Additionally, the sequence
diagram illustrates how the system communicates with the user interface to provide
feedback and updates in real-time. Finally, the user logs out to terminate the session,
triggering the system to perform any necessary cleanup tasks. In essence, the sequence

25
diagram delineates the step-by-step interactions between the user and the expense tracker
system, elucidating the flow of control and data between components during expense
management operations.

4.4.4 ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM

An Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram is a visual representation used in database design to

illustrate the logical structure of a database. It consists of three main components: entities,
attributes, and relationships. Entities represent real-world objects or concepts such as
people, places, or things. Attributes are the properties or characteristics of these entities,
defining the specific details or qualities. Relationships depict how entities interact or relate
to each other within the database.

In an ER diagram, entities are typically represented as rectangles, with each rectangle

containing the entity's name. Attributes are depicted within these rectangles, usually as
ovals connected to the corresponding entity. Relationships between entities are illustrated
using lines connecting them, often labeled with verbs or phrases to describe the nature of
the relationship.

The ER diagram provides a clear and concise overview of the database's structure, helping
database designers and stakeholders understand the data model's organization and logic. It
serves as a blueprint for creating the actual database schema, aiding in the implementation
process and ensuring that the database accurately reflects the requirements and
relationships of the real-world domain it represents.

By visually depicting entities, attributes, and relationships, ER diagrams facilitate

communication between stakeholders, enabling them to collaborate effectively on database
design and development. They also help identify potential issues or inconsistencies early
in the design process, allowing for adjustments to be made before implementation begins.
Overall, ER diagrams are essential tools in database design, providing a visual framework
for organizing and understanding complex data structures.

26
An Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram for an expense tracker system visualizes the
relationships between entities involved in managing expenses. Entities include User,
Expense, and Budget. Users are identified by a unique user Id and have attributes like
username and email. Expenses are linked to users via a user Id and include details such as

27
amount, category, and date. A Budget entity allows users to set spending limits for different
categories. Users can have multiple expenses and budgets, forming one-to-many
relationships. Additionally, an Expense can belong to only one user, representing a many-
to-one relationship. The ER diagram illustrates these relationships using lines connecting
entities with appropriate cardinality indicators. It aids in understanding the system's data
model, facilitating database design and implementation. By representing entities and their
relationships, the ER diagram serves as a blueprint for developers to create an efficient and
effective expense tracking system that meets users' needs and requirements.

 5. STRUCTURED DIAGRAM

Structure diagrams play a key role in software development for multiple important reasons.
Initially, they help team members communicate better by visually displaying the system's
architecture. This ensures all project participants have a common understanding of how
various components connect and come together.
Additionally, structure diagrams are beneficial during the analysis and design stages of
software development. Architects and designers can use them to visualize the system's
layout before building it, which can assist in detecting possible design flaws or
inefficiencies at an early stage of development. Developers can use visualization of
component relationships to help them make informed choices about system design and
implementation tactics.
Moreover, structure diagrams help with documentation by offering a detailed look at the
architecture of the software system. They are a useful resource for developers and
maintainers, aiding in their comprehension of the system's structure and connections during
modifications or problem-solving.
When it comes to implementation, developing structure diagrams usually requires the
utilization of specific modelling tools or software that is compatible with UML or other
diagramming notations. These tools offer functions to create and modify diagrams, as well
as to produce documentation or code based on the diagrams. Collaboration tools could also
be present to aid in promoting team collaboration and communication among project
participants.
In general, structure diagrams are essential in software development as they visually depict
the system's architecture, help communication, and assist in the process.
A visual representation in software engineering, known as a structure diagram, depicts the
layout, elements, and connections in a software system. It offers a big picture look at how
the system is structured, helping developers, architects, and stakeholders grasp its
organization and design.

5.1 OBJECT DIAGRAM
An object diagram is a visual representation within the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
that illustrates the instances of classes and their relationships at a specific point in time. It
provides a snapshot of a system's structure, focusing on the objects and their interactions
rather than the flow of control or sequence of events. In essence, an object diagram
showcases the runtime state of a system, showing the actual objects and their attributes as
they exist during execution. Each object is depicted as a box with its name and attributes
listed, emphasizing the data rather than behavior. Lines connecting the objects signify
associations or relationships between them, such as composition, aggregation, or simple
links. Object diagrams are valuable for understanding how objects collaborate within a
system, aiding in the design, analysis, and communication of complex systems. They
facilitate discussions among stakeholders, developers, and designers, allowing for a clear
visualization of the system's structure and behavior. Additionally, object diagrams can
assist in detecting design flaws, verifying system correctness, and guiding implementation
efforts by providing a tangible representation of the system's runtime entities. Overall,
object diagrams serve as powerful tools for modeling and understanding the relationships
and interactions between objects in object-oriented systems.

30
The object diagram illustrates the structure of an expense tracker system. It consists of three
main classes: User, Expense, and Expense Tracker. The User class represents users of the
system, holding attributes like username and password, with methods for managing
expenses such as adding, deleting, and viewing. The Expense class represents individual
expenses, with attributes such as expenseID, amount, date, and category, facilitating the
tracking of spending. The Expense Tracker class serves as the central component,
managing both users and expenses. It maintains lists of users and expenses and provides
functionalities for adding or removing users and expenses. Users own the expense Tracker

31
object, indicating their association with the system. The expense Tracker, in turn, manages
both users and expenses, orchestrating interactions and facilitating expense tracking and
management within the system. Overall, the diagram demonstrates the relationships and
functionalities of the key components within the expense tracker system.

5.2 CLASS DIAGRAM

A class diagram is a fundamental tool in object-oriented modelling, used to depict the
structure and relationships within a system's classes. It provides a visual representation of
the classes in a system along with their attributes, methods, and associations. Typically, a
class diagram consists of classes represented as boxes, with attributes and methods listed
within them. Relationships between classes are illustrated using lines, depicting
associations, dependencies, inheritances, and aggregations. Associations show how classes
interact with each other, while dependencies indicate one class relies on another.
Inheritance signifies a "is-a" relationship, where one class inherits attributes and behaviors
from another. Aggregation represents a "has-a" relationship, indicating that one class
contains another as a part. Class diagrams aid in understanding the structure of a system,
facilitating communication among stakeholders during the design and development phases.
They serve as a blueprint for software implementation, guiding developers in writing code
and organizing classes effectively. Additionally, they support maintenance and
documentation efforts by providing a clear overview of the system's architecture and design
decisions. Overall, class diagrams play a crucial role in object-oriented analysis and design,
enhancing the clarity, maintainability, and scalability of software systems.;

32
The class diagram illustrates the core components of an expense tracker system. The User
class represents users of the system, containing attributes like userId, username, and
methods for login, registration, and profile updates. Each user can own multiple expenses
and budgets, as depicted by the association lines. The Expense class represents individual
expenses with attributes such as amount, category, and date, along with methods for
managing expenses like adding, deleting, and editing. Users can also set budgets for
different expense categories using the Budget class, which includes attributes for budget
amount and category, along with methods for setting and retrieving budgets. The diagram
reflects a one-to-many relationship between users and expenses as well as users and
budgets, indicating that a user can own multiple expenses and budgets. Overall, the class
diagram provides a blueprint for understanding the structure and interactions within the
expense tracker system, facilitating its development and implementation.
