SYSTEM ANALYSIS:
1. Existing System
Existing system is a manual one in which users are maintaining books to store
the information like Student Details,Instructor Details,Schedule Details and
feedbacks about students who attempted exam as per schedule.. It is very difficult to
maintain historical data.
DISADVANTAGES:
The following drawbacks of existing system emphasize the need for computerization:
2. Proposed System
This application is used to conduct online examination. The students can sit at individual
terminals and login to write the exam in the given duration. . The questions have to be given to the
students.This application will perform correction, display the result immediately and also store it in
database. This application provides the administrator with a facility to add new exams.This
application provides the Instructor add questions to the exam, modify questions in the exam in a
particular exam. This application takes care of authentication of the administrator,Instructor as
well as the student.

INTRODUCTION:
Design is the first step in the development phase for any techniques and
principles for the purpose of defining a device, a process or system in sufficient detail to permit its
physical realization.
Once the software requirements have been analyzed and specified the
software design involves three technical activities - design, coding, implementation and testing that are
required to build and verify the software.
The design activities are of main importance in this phase, because in this
activity, decisions ultimately affecting the success of the software implementation and its ease of
maintenance are made. These decisions have the final bearing upon reliability and maintainability of the
system. Design is the only way to accurately translate the customer’s requirements into finished
software or a system.

UML Diagrams:
Actor:
A coherent set of roles that users of use cases play when interacting with the use `cases.
Use case:
A description of sequence of actions, including variants, that a system performs that
yields an observable result of value of an actor.
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a language for specifying, visualizing and
documenting the system. This is the step while developing any product after analysis. The goal
from this is to produce a model of the entities involved in the project which later need to be
built. The representation of the entities that are to be used in the product being developed
need to be designed.
There are various kinds of methods in software design:
They are as follows:

USECASE DIAGRAMS:
Use case diagrams model behavior within a system and helps the developers
understand of what the user require. The stick man represents what’s called an actor.
Use case diagram can be useful for getting an overall view of the system and clarifying who
can do and more importantly what they can’t do.
Use case diagram consists of use cases and actors and shows the interaction between the
use case and actors.
The purpose is to show the interactions between the use case and actor.
To represent the system requirements from user’s perspective.
An actor could be the end-user of the system or an external system.
USECASE DIAGRAM:
A Use case is a description of set of sequence of actions. Graphically it is rendered as
an ellipse with solid line including only its name. Use case diagram is a behavioral diagram
that shows a set of use cases and actors and their relationship. It is an association between
the use cases and actors. An actor represents a real-world object. Primary Actor – Sender,
Secondary ActorReceiver.

The DFD takes an input-process-output view of a system i.e. data objects flow into the software,
are transformed by processing elements, and resultant data objects flow out of the software.
Data objects represented by labeled arrows and transformation are represented by circles
also called as bubbles. DFD is presented in a hierarchical fashion i.e. the first data flow model represents
the system as a whole. Subsequent DFD refine the context diagram (level 0 DFD), providing increasing
details with each subsequent level.
The DFD enables the software engineer to develop models of the information domain &
functional domain at the same time. As the DFD is refined into greater levels of details, the analyst
perform an implicit functional decomposition of the system. At the same time, the DFD refinement
results in a corresponding refinement of the data as it moves through the process that embody the
applications.
A context-level DFD for the system the primary external entities produce information for
use by the system and consume information generated by the system. The labeled arrow represents data
objects or object hierarchy.

Identify and label each process internal to the system with Rounded circles.
A process is required for all the data transformation and Transfers. Therefore, never connect
a data store to a data Source or the destinations or another data store with just a Data flow
arrow.
Make sure the names of the processes accurately convey everything the process is done.
Identify all data flows for each process step, except simple Record retrievals.

E-R Diagrams:
The Entity-Relationship (ER) model was originally proposed by Peter in 1976 [Chen76] as a way to unify the
network and relational database views. Simply stated the ER model is a conceptual data model that views the real
world as entities and relationships. A basic component of the model is the Entity-Relationship diagram which is
used to visually represents data objects. Since Chen wrote his paper the model has been extended and today it is
commonly used for database design For the database designer, the utility of the ER model is:
it maps well to the relational model. The constructs used in the ER model can easily be transformed into
relational tables.
it is simple and easy to understand with a minimum of training. Therefore, the model can be used by the
database designer to communicate the design to the end user.
In addition, the model can be used as a design plan by the database developer to implement a data model
in a specific database management software.
The basic types of connectivity for relations are: one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. A one-to-
one (1:1) relationship is when at most one instance of a entity A is associated with one instance of entity B. For
example, "employees in the company are each assigned their own office. For each employee there exists a unique
office and for each office there exists a unique employee.
A one-to-many (1:N) relationships is when for one instance of entity A, there are zero, one, or many instances of
entity B, but for one instance of entity B, there is only one instance of entity A. An example of a 1:N relationships
is
A many-to-many (M:N) relationship, sometimes called non-specific, is when for one instance of entity A, there
are zero, one, or many instances of entity B and for one instance of entity B there are zero, one, or many instances
of entity A. The connectivity of a relationship describes the mapping of associated
26
ONLINE EXAMINATION
ER Notation
There is no standard for representing data objects in ER diagrams. Each modeling methodology uses its
own notation. The original notation used by Chen is widely used in academics texts and journals but rarely seen in
either CASE tools or publications by non-academics. Today, there are a number of notations used, among the
more common are Bachman, crow's foot, and IDEFIX.
All notational styles represent entities as rectangular boxes and relationships as lines connecting boxes. Each
style uses a special set of symbols to represent the cardinality of a connection. The notation used in this document
is from Martin. The symbols used for the basic ER constructs are:
entities are represented by labeled rectangles. The label is the name of the entity. Entity names should be
singular nouns.
relationships are represented by a solid line connecting two entities. The name of the relationship is
attributes, when included, are listed inside the entity rectangle. Attributes which are identifiers are
cardinality of many is represented by a line ending in a crow's foot. If the crow's foot is omitted, the
cardinality is one.
existence is represented by placing a circle or a perpendicular bar on the line. Mandatory existence is
shown by the bar (looks like a 1) next to the entity for an instance is required. Optional existence is shown

PHP
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is a widely used, general-purpose scripting
language that was originally designed for web development, to produce dynamic
web pages. It can be embedded into HTML and generally runs on a web server,
which needs to be configured to process PHP code and create web page content
from it. It can be deployed on most web servers and on almost every operating
system and platform free of charge.
PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 and has been in
continuous development ever since. The main implementation of PHP is now
produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as
there is no formal specification.PHP is free software released under the PHP
31
ONLINE EXAMINATION
License, which is incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL)
because of restrictions on the use of the term PHP
PHP has evolved to include a command line interface capability and can also be
used in standalone graphical applications.
USAGE
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web
development. PHP generally runs on a web server. Any PHP code in a requested
file is executed by the PHP runtime, usually to create dynamic web page content.
It can also be used for command-line scripting and client-side GUI applications.
PHP can be deployed on most web servers, many operating systems and
platforms, and can be used with many relational database management systems.
It is available free of charge, and the PHP Group provides the complete source
code for users to build, customize and extend for their own use.
PHP primarily acts as a filter, taking input from a file or stream containing text
and/or PHP instructions and outputs another stream of data; most commonly the
output will be HTML. Since PHP 4, the PHP parser compiles input to produce
byte code for processing by the Zend Engine, giving improved performance over
its interpreter predecessor
Originally designed to create dynamic web pages, PHP now focuses mainly on
server-side scripting, and it is similar to other server-side scripting languages that
provide dynamic content from a web server to a client, such as Microsoft's Active
Server Pages, Sun Microsystems' JavaServer Pages and mod_perl. PHP has
also attracted the development of many frameworks that provide building blocks
and a design structure to promote rapid application development (RAD). Some of
these include CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter, and Zend Framework, offering
features similar to other web application frameworks.
About HTML
HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant
markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured
32
ONLINE EXAMINATION
Hyper Text Markup Language(HTML) is the encoding scheme used to create and
format a web document. A user need not be an expert programmer to make use
of HTML for creating hypertext documents that can be put on the internet.
Most graphical e-mail clients allow the use of a subset of HTML (often ill-defined)
to provide formatting and semantic markup not available with plain text. This may
include typographic information like coloured headings, emphasized and quoted
text, inline images and diagrams. Many such clients include both a GUI editor for
composing HTML e-mail messages and a rendering engine for displaying them.
Use of HTML in e-mail is controversial because of compatibility issues, because
it can help disguise phishing attacks, because it can confuse spam filters and
because the message size is larger than plain text.
NAMING CONVENTIONS
The most common filename extension for files containing HTML is .html. A
common abbreviation of this is .htm, which originated because some early
operating systems and file systems, such as DOS and FAT, limited file
extensions to three letters.
HTML APPLICATION
An HTML Application is a Microsoft Windows application that uses HTML and
Dynamic HTML in a browser to provide the application's graphical interface. A
regular HTML file is confined to the security model of the web browser,
communicating only to web servers and manipulating only webpage objects and
site cookies. An HTA runs as a fully trusted application and therefore has more
privileges, like creation/editing/removal of files and Windows Registry entries.
33
ONLINE EXAMINATION
Because they operate outside the browser's security model, HTAs cannot be
executed via HTTP, but must be downloaded (just like an EXE file) and executed
from local file system
ABOUT JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language used to enable programmatic
access to objects within both the client application and other applications. It is
primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as an integrated
component of the web browser, allowing the development of enhanced user
interfaces and dynamic websites. JavaScript is a dialect of the ECMAScript
standard and is characterized as a dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based
language with first-class functions. JavaScript was influenced by many
languages and was designed to look like Java, but to be easier for non-programmers to
work with.
PROTOTYPE-BASED
JavaScript uses prototypes instead of classes for inheritance. It is possible to
simulate many class-based features with prototypes in JavaScript.
Functions double as object constructors along with their typical role. Prefixing a
function call with new creates a new object and calls that function with its local
this keyword bound to that object for that invocation. The constructor's prototype
property determines the object used for the new object's internal prototype.
JavaScript's built-in constructors, such as Array, also have prototypes that can be
modified.
USAGE
34
ONLINE EXAMINATION
Because JavaScript code can run locally in a user's browser (rather than on a
remote server) it can respond to user actions quickly, making an application feel
more responsive. Furthermore, JavaScript code can detect user actions which
HTML alone cannot, such as individual keystrokes. Applications such as Gmail
take advantage of this: much of the user-interface logic is written in JavaScript,
and JavaScript dispatches requests for information (such as the content of an e-
mail message) to the server. The wider trend of Ajax programming similarly
exploits this strength.
ABOUT MySQL
MySQL Introduction
There are a large number of database management systems currently available, some
commercial and some free.
Some of them : Oracle, Microsoft Access, Mysql and PostgreSQL.
These database systems are powerful, feature-rich software, capable of organizing and
searching millions of records at very high speeds.
35
ONLINE EXAMINATION
You already know that a single database can hold multiple tables.
In a Relational database management system(RDBMS), these tables can be linked to
each other by one or more common fields, called foreign keys.
Database administrator is the super user of database, he has unrestricted rights and
privileges to access database, grant permission to other database users.
Database user is the person who uses the database in a restricted privileges, provided
by database administrator.
If you have installed PHP’s WAMP or XAMPP server, then mysql database already
exists. if you don’t have then download mysql database from herehttp://www.mysql.com

FEASIBILITY STUDY:
Feasibility study is conducted once the problem is clearly understood. Feasibility study is a high
level capsule version of the entire system analysis and design process. The objective is to determine
quickly at a minimum expense how to solve a problem. The purpose of feasibility is not to solve the
problem but to determine if the problem is worth solving.
The system has been tested for feasibility in the following points.
1. Technical Feasibility
2. Economical Feasibility
3. Operational Feasibility.
1. Technical Feasibility
The project entitles "Courier Service System” is technically feasibility because of the below
mentioned feature. The project was developed in Java which Graphical User Interface.
It provides the high level of reliability, availability and compatibility. All these make
Java an appropriate language for this project. Thus the existing software Java is a powerful
38
ONLINE EXAMINATION
language.
2. Economical Feasibility
The computerized system will help in automate the selection leading the profits and
details of the organization. With this software, the machine and manpower utilization are expected to go
up by 80-90% approximately. The costs incurred of not creating the system are set to be great, because
precious time can be wanted by manually.
3. Operational Feasibility
In this project, the management will know the details of each project where he may be presented
and the data will be maintained as decentralized and if any inquires for that particular contract can be
known as per their requirements and necessaries.
Implementation:
Implementation is the stage where the theoretical design is turned into a working system. The most
crucial stage in achieving a new successful system and in giving confidence on the new system for the
users that it will work efficiently and effectively.
The system can be implemented only after thorough testing is done and if it is found to work according
to the specification.
It involves careful planning, investigation of the current system and its constraints on implementation,
design of methods to achieve the change over and an evaluation of change over methods a part from
planning. Two major tasks of preparing the implementation are education and training of the users and

The more complex the system being implemented, the more involved will be the systems analysis
and design effort required just for implementation.
The implementation phase comprises of several activities. The required hardware and software
acquisition is carried out. The system may require some software to be developed. For this, programs
are written and tested. The user then changes over to his new fully tested system and the old system is
discontinued.
TESTING:
The testing phase is an important part of software development. It is the puterized system will
help in automate process of finding errors and missing operations and also a complete verification to
determine whether the objectives are met and the user requirements are satisfied.
1. The first includes unit testing, where in each module is tested to provide its correctness,
validity and also determine any missing operations and to verify whether the objectives have been met.
Errors are noted down and corrected immediately. Unit testing is the important and major part of the
project. So errors are rectified easily in particular module and program clarity is increased. In this
project entire system is divided into several modules and is developed individually. So unit testing is
conducted to individual modules.
2. The second step includes Integration testing. It need not be the case, the software whose
40

modules when run individually and showing perfect results, will also show perfect results when run as a
whole. The individual modules are clipped under this major module and tested again and verified the
results. This is due to poor interfacing, which may results in data being lost across an interface. A
module can have inadvertent, adverse effect on any other or on the global data structures, causing
serious problems.
3. The final step involves validation and testing which determines which the software
functions as the user expected. Here also some modifications were. In the completion of the project it is
satisfied fully by the end user.

ONLINE EXAMINATION
Even with the best quality assurance activities is lightly that the customer will uncover
defects in the software. Corrective maintenance changes the software to correct defects.
Maintenance is a set of software Engineering activities that occur after software has been
delivered to the customer and put into operation. Software configuration management is a set of
tracking and control activities that began when a software project begins and terminates only
when the software is taken out of the operation.
We may define maintenance by describing four activities that are undertaken after a program
is released for use:
Corrective Maintenance
Adaptive Maintenance
Perfective Maintenance or Enhancement
Preventive Maintenance or reengineering
Only about 20 percent of all maintenance work are spent "fixing mistakes". The remaining 80
percent are spent adapting existing systems to changes in their external environment, making
enhancements requested by users, and reengineering an application for use.
ADAPTATION:
Over time, the original environment (E>G., CPU, operating system, business rules, external
product characteristics) for which the software was developed is likely to change. Adaptive maintenance
results in modification to the software to accommodate change to its external environment.
ENHANCEMENT:
As software is used, the customer/user will recognize additional functions that will provide benefit.
Perceptive maintenance extends the software beyond its original function requirements.

SOFTWARE METHODOLOGY
The software methodology followed in this project includes the object-oriented methodology and
the application system development methodologies. The description of these methodologies is given
below.
Although there are a growing number of applications (such as decision support systems) that should
be developed using an experimental process strategy such as prototyping, a significant amount of new
development work continue to involve major operational applications of broad scope. The application
systems are large highly structured. User task comprehension and developer task proficiency is usually
high. These factors suggest a linear or iterative assurance strategy. The most common method for this
stage class of problems is a system development life cycle modal in which each stage of development is
well defined and has straightforward requirements for deliverables, feedback and sign off. The system
development life cycle is described in detail since it continues to be an appropriate methodology for a
significant part of new development work.
The basic idea of the system development life cycle is that there is a well-defined process by which
an application is conceived and developed and implemented. The life cycle gives structure to a creative
process. In order to manage and control the development effort, it is necessary to know what should
43
ONLINE EXAMINATION
have been done, what has been done, and what has yet to be accomplished. The phrases in the system
development life cycle provide a basis for management and control because they define segments of the
flow of work, which can be identified for managerial purposes and specifies the documents or other
deliverables to be produced in each phase.
The phases in the life cycle for information system development are described differently by
different writers, but the differences are primarily in the amount of necessity and manner of
categorization. There is a general agreement on the flow of development steps and the necessity for
control procedures at each stage.
The information system development cycle for an application consists of three major stages.
1)Definition.
2)Development.
3)Installation and operation.
The first stage of the process, which defines the information requirements for a feasible cost effective
system. The requirements are then translated into a physical system of forms, procedures, programs etc.,
by the system design, computer programming and procedure development. The resulting system is test
and put into operation. No system is perfect so there is always a need for maintenance changes. To
complete the cycle, there should be a post audit of the system to evaluate how well it performs and how
well it meets the cost and performance specifications. The stages of definition, development and
installation and operation can therefore be divided into smaller steps or phrases as follows.

Testing is a process of executing a program with the indent of finding an error. Testing is a crucial
element of software quality assurance and presents ultimate review of specification, design and coding.
System Testing is an important phase. Testing represents an interesting anomaly for the software. Thus
a series of testing are performed for the proposed system before the system is ready for user acceptance
testing.
A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as undiscovered error. A
successful test is one that uncovers an as undiscovered error.
Testing Objectives:
Testing Principles
3.Testing should begin on a small scale and progress towards testing in large
The primary objective for test case design is to derive a set of tests that has the highest livelihood
for uncovering defects in software. To accomplish this objective two different categories of test case
design techniques are used. They are
47
ONLINE EXAMINATION
White-box testing:
White box testing focus on the program control structure. Test cases are derived to ensure that all
statements in the program have been executed at least once during testing and that all logical conditions
have been executed.
Block-box testing:
Black box testing is designed to validate functional requirements without regard to the internal workings
of a program. Black box testing mainly focuses on the information domain of the software, deriving test
cases by partitioning input and output in a manner that provides through test coverage. Incorrect and
missing functions, interface errors, errors in data structures, error in functional logic are the errors falling
in this category.
Testing strategies:
A strategy for software testing must accommodate low-level tests that are necessary to verify that
all small source code segment has been correctly implemented as well as high-level tests that validate
major system functions against customer requirements.
Testing fundamentals:
Testing is a process of executing program with the intent of finding error. A good test case is one
that has high probability of finding an undiscovered error. If testing is conducted successfully it
uncovers the errors in the software. Testing cannot show the absence of defects, it can only show that
software defects present.

Information flow for testing flows the pattern. Two class of input provided to test the process.
The software configuration includes a software requirements specification, a design specification and
source code.
Test configuration includes test plan and test cases and test tools. Tests are conducted and all the
results are evaluated. That is test results are compared with expected results. When erroneous data are
uncovered, an error is implied and debugging commences.
Unit testing:
Unit testing is essential for the verification of the code produced during the coding phase and
hence the goal is to test the internal logic of the modules. Using the detailed design description as a
guide, important paths are tested to uncover errors with in the boundary of the modules. These tests
were carried out during the programming stage itself. All units of ViennaSQL were successfully tested.
Integration testing :
Integration testing focuses on unit tested modules and build the program structure that is dictated
by the design phase.
System testing:
System testing tests the integration of each module in the system. It also tests to find
discrepancies between the system and it’s original objective, current specification and system
documentation. The primary concern is the compatibility of individual modules. Entire system is
working properly or not will be tested here, and specified path ODBC connection will correct or not, and
giving output or not are tested here these verifications and validations are done by giving input values to
the system and by comparing with expected output. Top-down testing implementing here.

Acceptance Testing:
This testing is done to verify the readiness of the system for the implementation. Acceptance testing
begins when the system is complete. Its purpose is to provide the end user with the confidence that the
system is ready for use. It involves planning and execution of functional tests, performance tests and
stress tests in order to demonstrate that the implemented system satisfies its requirements.
Test coverage Analyzer – records the control paths followed for each test case.
Timing Analyzer – also called a profiler, reports the time spent in various regions of the code are areas
to concentrate on to improve system performance.
Coding standards – static analyzers and standard checkers are used to inspect code for deviations from
standards and guidelines.
Test Cases:
Test cases are derived to ensure that all statements in the program have been executed at least once
during testing and that all logical conditions have been executed.
Using White-Box testing methods, the software engineer can drive test cases that
Guarantee that logical decisions on their true and false sides.
Exercise all logical decisions on their true and false sides.
Execute all loops at their boundaries and with in their operational bounds.
Exercise internal data structure to assure their validity.
The test case specification for system testing has to be submitted for review before system testing
commences.
