Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
Problem statement:
The problem with existing leave management systems for administrators
lies in their manual and inefficient processes. Traditional methods often
rely on paperwork, leading to errors, delays, and overall inefficiency. This
lack of automation results in challenges such as difficulties in tracking leave
balances and approvals in real time, creating potential scheduling conflicts.
Communication gaps may arise, causing misunderstandings between
administrators and employees regarding leave requests. Moreover, the use
of outdated systems or paper forms raises concerns about the security of
sensitive employee information. Accessibility issues further compound the
Page | 1
problem, as administrators may face delays in decision-making due to
limited access to leave-related data. Additionally, generating accurate and
timely reports on leave trends, usage patterns, and employee attendance
becomes a challenge with manual systems. In response to these issues, the
Online Leave Management System project aims to automate and streamline
the entire workflow, offering a user-friendly interface for administrators to
handle leave requests, approvals, and tracking efficiently, all while ensuring
data security and transparency.

request.
Chapter 5: Implementation
1. **Technology Stack:**
- **Theory:** Choose a technology stack that aligns with the application
requirements, considering factors like scalability, development speed, and
community support.
- **Application:** Select programming languages, frameworks, and
libraries that suit the goals of theleave management system, such as using
React or Angular for the frontend and Node.js or Django for the backend.
Page | 23
2. **Microservices Architecture:**
- **Theory:** Adopt a microservices architecture to create a modular and
scalable system where each module handles a specific business function.
- **Application:** Divide the application into microservices for user
authentication, appointment management, health records, etc., allowing for
independent development, deployment, and scaling.
3. **RESTful APIs:**
- **Theory:** Use RESTful principles for designing APIs, promoting a
stateless and scalable communication approach.
- **Application:** Design APIs that allow seamless communication
between different modules of the app, enabling interoperability and
flexibility.
4. **Database Design:**
- **Theory:** Choose a database system based on data requirements, and
design a normalized database schema to ensure data integrity.
- **Application:** Utilize relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL
for structured data and consider NoSQL databases like MongoDB for more
flexible and scalable data storage.
6. **Real-time Communication:**
- **Theory:** Integrate real-time communication features to enable
instant updates and notifications.
Page | 24
- **Application:** Use technologies like WebSockets or a message queuing
system to facilitate real-time communication between caregivers, patients,
and the app.
7. **Security Measures:**
- **Theory:** Follow security best practices to protect against common
threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site
request forgery (CSRF).
- **Application:** Regularly update dependencies, conduct security
audits, and employ tools like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to enhance
security.
3. **Server Configuration:**
- **Theory:** Optimize server configurations for performance, security,
and resource utilization.
Page | 25
- **Application:** Configure servers with appropriate resources, enable
security protocols (firewalls, intrusion detection systems), and regularly
monitor server performance.
Page | 26
**Follow a Modular Architecture:**
- Break your application into small, self-contained modules.
- Each module should have a single responsibility and
encapsulate related functionality.
- Use a modular structure such as MVC (Model-View-Controller)
or MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) depending on the application
type.
**Version Control:**
- Use version control systems like Git to track changes and
manage code history.
- Create meaningful commit messages that describe the purpose
of the changes.
- Branch your codebase for new features or bug fixes to isolate
changes.
**Testing:**
- Implement unit tests to validate the functionality of individual
components.
- Use testing frameworks to automate the testing process.
- Ensure that tests are maintained and updated as the codebase
evolves.
**Dependency Injection:**
- Use dependency injection to manage dependencies between
components.
Page | 28
- Inject dependencies rather than hard-coding them to improve
flexibility and testability.
- Follow the Dependency Inversion Principle to reduce coupling.
**Error Handling:**
- Implement consistent error handling mechanisms.
- Use meaningful error messages and log errors for debugging.
- Handle errors at an appropriate level, and avoid suppressing
or ignoring them.
. **Refactor Regularly:**
- Periodically review and refactor your code to eliminate code
smells and improve design.
- Refactor with a focus on improving maintainability, readability,
and performance.
Page | 29
**Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD):**
- Set up CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment
processes.
- Ensure that the CI/CD pipeline includes checks for code quality
and style.
Use of libraries and framework
Both the framework vs library is precoded support programs to
develop complex software applications. However, libraries target
a specific functionality, while a framework tries to provide
everything required to develop a complete application.
Page | 30
handle yourself. This allows you to focus on the critical part of
your application.
Choosing the right framework for your project can be tricky, but it
is worth finding the one that suits your needs. An excellent
framework will make your life much easier as a programmer and
help you create better software applications.

XAMPP is designed to facilitate the setup and deployment of a local web
development environment. It includes all the necessary components to run
a web server on your local machine, making it easy for developers to test
and develop web applications without needing to access a remote server.
This stack is particularly useful for projects that involve PHP and MySQL, as
it provides a convenient and integrated solution for setting up a server
environment on a personal computer. XAMPP has gained popularity for its
simplicity and ease of use, making it a valuable tool for developers working
on dynamic web applications.
Page | 32
A well-crafted test plan is a dynamic document that changes
according to progressions in the project and stays current at all
times.
It is the point of reference based on which testing activities are
executed and coordinated among a QA team.
The test plan is also shared with Business Analysts, Project
Managers, Dev teams, and anyone associated with the project.
This mainly offers transparency into QA activities so that all
stakeholders know how the software will be tested.
Tests also vary depending on size, or degree of isolation:
Unit tests or small tests only verify a very small portion of the
app, such as a method or class.
End-to-end tests or big tests verify larger parts of the app at the
same time, such as a whole screen or user flow.
Medium tests are in between and check the integration between
two or more units.
Component Tests
After all layers of the architecture are tested in isolation, there is still a
need for a test that integrates all of them to verify a use case is
properly implemented. A Component test can be created with
Espresso to exercise Presentation, Domain, and Data through the GUI.

Test results and analysis:
1. Prioritize Defect :
Development team firstly analyze defect and their impact.
Then they prioritize defects on the basis of their severity. The
main aim of this step is simply to answers some questions and
immediately initiate action that is required :
Defect is reported previously or not?
Defect should be given what priority to fix it?
What steps should be taken to simply reduce the impact of
defects prior to fix?
2. Resolve Defect :
On the basis of priority assigned to each defect, development
team then resolves defects. Some defects need to fix
immediately, some defects can be resolved later, and some
Page | 36
defects are not needed to fix at all depending upon their
impact and resources required to fix it. Some organizations
simply treat lower priority defects as changes. All defects are
equally created from perspective of how quickly they are
needed to be fixed.
Resolving defects also include correcting and verifying one or
more deliverables i.e. programs, documentation that is
required to remove defects totally from system. Test manager
identifies process of resolving defects while development
team is resolving defect.
3. Report Resolution :
Development then further has to report about resolution to
the testing team that when and how the defect has been fixed.
In simple words, developers notify all relevant parties about
when and how defect was resolved. Once defect has been
resolved and fixing is verified, particular developers, users,
and testers are needed to notify that defect has been resolved
including with other information like :
Nature of Fix
When fix will get released
How it will get released

Data Analysis and interpretation
Discussion of results
This section also usually discusses the limitations of the study and
speculates on what the results say about the problem(s)
identified in the research question(s). This section is very
important because it is finally moving towards an argument. Since
the researchers interpret their results according to theoretical
underpinnings in this section, there is more room for difference of
opinion. The way the authors interpret their results may be quite
