Automatic Timetable Generation Mini Project Report

Automatic Timetable Generator
1. INTRODUCTION
Automatic Timetable Generator is a Java based software used to generate
timetable automatically. Currently timetable is managed manually. It will help to
manage all the periods automatically and also will be helpful for faculty to get
timetable in their phone by using application. It will also manage timetable when
any teacher is absent , late coming or early going. Maimum and minimum wor!
load for a "aculty for a day, wee! and month will be specified for the efficient
generation of timetable.
#y using this software users can apply for leave by providing leave
re$uired date, reason and also with substitute faculty. %hen selecting a faculty as
substitute it allows to view timetable of that faculty for ensure that the faculty is
free at that particular period. &ubstitute can approve or re'ect re$uest. (rinciapl
can also view the re$uest send by faculty and can also view substitute response.
(rincipal can approve ) re'ect re$uest.
It is a comprehensive timetable management solutions for Colleges which
help to overcome the challenges in mannually setting the timetable. #y using this
software it will be very easy for faculty to get timetable in their phones

2. "ITER#TURE SUR$E%&RE$IE' O( "ITER#TURE
Trying to develop a software which helps to generate Timetable for an
Institution automatically. #y loo!ing at the eisting system we can understand
that timetable generation is done manually. Manually ad'ust the timetable when
any of the faculty is absent, and this is the big challenge for Automatic Timetable
Generator that managing the timetable automatically when any of the faculty is
absent.
As we !now all institutions)organi,ations have its own timetable,
managing and maintaining these wiil not be difficult. Considering wor!load with
this scheduling will ma!e it more comple. As mentioned , when Timetable
generation is being done, it should consider the maimum and minimum
wor!load that is in a college. In those cases timetable generation will become
more comple. Also , it is a time consuming process.

). SO(T'#RE RE*UIRE+ENT #N#"%SIS
The current problem is setting up of Timetable manually. Any
absent is their , then assigning that period to another "aculty is a not an easy 'ob
because at that time we should consider the Maimum wor!load for a "aculty
0assigning etra period should not eceed the Maimum wor!load1.
).1 Pro,lem Definition
Avoid the compleity of setting and managing Timetable manually. It
will help you to manage all the periods automatically. "aculty can recieve their
periods information in their phone . Initially we will be setting the maimum
wor!loads for a "aculty in a day, wee! and month. Main challenge is to manage
timetable when any "aculty is absent. #y using this software it will be very easy
to allocate sub'ect for different faculty.
).2 (esi,ility #nalysis
A feasibility study was an evaluation of a proposal designed to determine the
difficulty in carrying out a designated tas!. Generally, a feasibility study precedes
technical development and pro'ect implementation.
..-.* 2conomic "easibility
To develop the proposed system, it needs no etra facilities and devices. All
dependencies are satisfied from the open source pro'ects. All tools used are free,
open source and the programming language is J&( and hence its development is
economically .
..-.- Technical "easibility

#ehavioral feasibility determines how much effort will go in the proposed
information system, and in educating and training the users on the new system.
&ince the user interface is very simple and easily understandable , no training is
re$uired for using this software.
).) +et!odology
The establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to
obtain economically developed software that is reliable and wor!s efficiently on
real machines is called software engineering.
Software engineering is the discipline whose aim is:
(roduction of $uality software
software that is delivered on time
cost within the budget
satisfies all re$uirements.
&oftware process is the way in which we produce the software. Apart from
hiring smart, !nowledgeable engineers and buying the latest development tools,
effective software development process is also needed, so that engineers can
systematically use the best technical and managerial practices to successfully
complete their pro'ects.
A software life cycle is the series of identifiable stages that a software
product undergoes during its lifetime .A software lifecycle model is a descriptive
and diagrammatic representation of the software life cycle .A life cycle model
represents all the activities re$uired to ma!e a software product transit through its
lifecycle phases .It also captures the order in which these activities are to be
ta!en.

The most creative and challenging phase of the life cycle is system design.
The term design describes a final system and the process by which it is
developed. It refers to the technical specifications that will be applied in
implementations of the system. The importance of software design can be stated
in a single word J5ualityK. <esign provides us with representations of software
that can be assessed for $uality. <esign is the only way where we can accurately
translate user re$uirements into a complete software product or system. %ithout

..1.2 Data (lo/ Diagrams
The <"< is also !nown as the bubble chart. It is a simple graphical
formalism that can be used to represent a system in terms of the input data to the
system, various processing carried out in these data and the output data generated
by the system. &tarting with a set of high?level functions that a system
performance of <"< model in hierarchically it represents various sub functions.
In a normal convention, logical <"< can be completed using only four notationsB
M :epresents source or destination of data
M :epresents <ata "low
M :epresents a process that transforms incoming data into outgoing data
M :epresents <ata &ource
Function Symbol
A function is represented using a circle. This symbol is called a
process or a bubble. #ubbles are annotated with the names of corresponding
functions.
External Entity Symbol
An eternal entity such as a librarian, library member etc is
represented by a rectangle. The eternal entities are essentially those physical
entities eternal to the software system, which interact with the system by
inputting data to the system or by consuming the data produced by the system.
Data Flow Symbol
A directed arc or an arrow is used as a <ata "low &ymbol. This
represents the data flow occurring between two processes or between an eternal
entity and a process in direction of the <ata "low Arrow. <ata "low symbols are
annotated with corresponding data names.
Data Store Symbol
A <ata &tore represents a logical fileN it is represented using two
parallel lines. A logical file can represent either <ata &tore &ymbol, which can
represent either data structure or a physical file on dis!.
Chinmaya Institute of Technology */
Output Symbol
The output symbol is used when a hardcopy is produced and the user
of the copies cannot be clearly specified or there are several users of the output.
The <"< at the simplest level is referred to as the Contet Analysis <iagram.
These are epanded by level, each eplaining in process in detail. (rocesses are
numbered for easy identification and are normally labeled in bloc! letters. 2ach
data flow is labeled for easy understanding.
Context Diagram
OThe contet diagram is the most abstract data flow representation of a
system. It represents the entire system as a single bubble. This bubble is labeled
according to the main function of the system. The various eternal entities with
the system interact and the data input to the system and the data output from the
system are represented as incoming and outgoing arrows. These data flow arrows
should be annotated with the corresponding data names.

..2 Data,ase design
The system is implemented in such a way that all the valid
informationLs are stored in the database. <atabase design converts the data model
developed in logical designing to database definition. This is supported by
database software. The management of data involves baoh the definition of
structure of the storage of information and provision of mechanism for the
manipulation of information. In addition database system must provide safety of
information handle, despite the system crashes due to attempts of unauthori,ed
access.
A database is a collection of interrelated data stored with minimum
redundancy to serve many users $uic!ly and efficiently. In database design,
several views of data must be considered along with the person who users them.
The logical view is what the data loo! li!e, regardless of how they are stored. The
physical view is the way data eist in physical storage. Tables are carefully
designed aiming to achieve its main ob'ectives ie, to ma!e information access
easy, $uic!, inepensive and fleible for user.

+ormali,ation is the process of analy,ing the given relation schemas based
on their "unctional <ependencies and primary !eys to achieve the desirable
properties of Minimi,ing :edundancy, Minimi,ing the insertion, deletion and
updating anomalies.
+ormali,ation is carried out for the following reasonsB
M To structure the data so that perfect relationship between entries can be
represented.
M To permit simple retrieval of data in response $uery and report re$uests.
M To reduce the need to restructure or reorgani,e data when new application
re$uirement arises.

:. TESTIN4
$alidation and -!e-;s
&oftware validation is achieved through a series of tests that
demonstrate conformity with re$uirements. =alidation succeeds when
software functions in a manner that can be reasonably epected by the
customer. 3ere line by line chec!ing is used to find errors. Comment line
facility is used for chec!ing errors.
Testing is necessary for the success of the system. <uring testing,
program to be tested is eecuted with a set of test data and the output of the
program for test data is evaluated to determine if the programs are
performing as epected.
=alidation means chec!ing the $uality of software in both simulated
and live environments. &ystem validation ensures that the user can in fact
match his)her claims, especially system performance. True validation is
verified by having each system tested.
"irst the application goes through a phase often referred as alpha
testing in which the errors and failures based on simulated user
re$uirements are verified and studied. The modified software is then
sub'ected to phase two called beta testing in the actual userLs site or live
environment. After a scheduled time, failures and errors are documented for
final correction and enhancements are made before the pac!age is released.
In a software development pro'ect, errors can be in'ected at any stage
during development. 2ven if error detecting and eliminating techni$ues were
employed in the previous analysis and design phases, errors are li!ely to remain
undetected. 8nfortunately, these errors will be reflected in the code. &ince code
is fre$uently the only product that can be eecuted and whose actual behavior
can be observed, testing is the phase where the errors remaining from the earlier
phases must be detected in addition to detecting the errors introduced during
coding activity.
Chinmaya Institute of Technology -@
3aving proper test cases is central to successful testing. %e would li!e to
determine a set of test cases such that successful eecution of all of them
implies that there are no errors in the program. Therefore, our pro'ect crew
aimed at selecting the test cases such that the maimum possible numbers of
errors are detected by the minimum number of test cases.
"or this we have adopted both manual testing techni$ues and automated
testing techni$ues. "irst and foremost, testing was done by means of Inspection,
where participants manually eamine system deliverables for occurrences of
well?!nown errors. Inspection team consists of 7 members who are trained for
their tas!s. Items for inspection include completeness of the design, and
functional re$uirements, internal completeness and consistency in definition
and usage of terminology, and correctness of the interfaces between modules.
&ynta, grammar, and some other routine errors were chec!ed by automated
inspection software, so manual inspection chec!s are used for more subtle
errors. And we have done the testing following design phase prior to
implementation.
"esting ob&ecti'es are :
M Testing is a process of eecuting a program with the intent of finding
an error .
M A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as?yet?
undiscovered error .
M A successful test is one that uncovers an as?yet?undiscovered error.
Automated testing is performed at four different levels

:.1 Test Types
*.8nit testing
-.Integration testing
..&ystem testing
/.Acceptance testing
Chinmaya Institute of Technology .E
:.1.1 Unit testing
In unit testing different modules are tested against the specifications
produced during design phase for the modules in the pro'ect and the goal is to
test the internal logic of the modules.
In order to perform the unit testing, the best approach we adopted in this
pro'ect is functional testing in which inputs are given to the system for which
the epected results are !nown, boundary values and special values. "or this the
module selected was advance details where the balance amount falls to negative
indicating there is no more payment re$uired. &econdly performance testing
was done to determine the amount of eecution time spent in various aspects
li!e the module, program throughput, response time, and the device utili,ation
by the program unit.
:.1.2 Integration testing
The primary goal of the integration testing is to see if the modules
can be integrated properly. The integration testing is therefore considered as
testing the design. Thus in the integration testing step, all the errors uncovered
are corrected for the net testing steps.
:.1.) System testing
&ystem testing is similar to integration testing, but instead of
integrating modules into programs for testing, programs are integrated into
systems for testing the interfaces between programs in a system. &ystem testing
can be defined in many ways, but a simple definition is that validation succeeds
when the software functions in a manner that can be reasonably epected by the
customer.
:.1.. #--eptan-e testing
;nce the system tests have been satisfactory completed, the system
is ready for acceptance testing. Acceptance testing is the process whereby actual
users test a completed information system in the environment where it will
eventually be used, the end result of which is the userLs acceptance or re'ection.
The admin and staff at Company accepted proposed system after testing.
Chinmaya Institute of Technology .*
:.1.5 In-remental Integration Testing
#ottom up approach for testing i.e continuous testing of an
application as new functionality is added. This Application functionality and
modules are independent enough to test separately. The functionality li!e
view)create group, view)edit profile,view)post notification,view)post news and
add)show event are independent to each other. These functionalities are added
separately and tested after the implementation of each.
The distributed nature of client)server systems pose a set of uni$ue
problems while conduct tests we noted following areas while testingB
Client _G8I considerations
Target environment and platform diversity considerations
<istributed processing considerations
+o robust target environment
+onlinear performance relationships
Many different types of tests are conducted at each of this level of detail
the following tests are conducted.
#ppli-ation fn-tion tests
The functionality of client applications is tested using the methods
discussed below.
Ser7er tests
The coordination and data management functions of the server are tested.
&erver performance is also considered.
Data,ase tests
The accuracy and integrity of data stored by the server is tested.
Transactions posted by client applications are eamined to ensure that data are
properly stored, updated and retrieved. Archiving is also tested.
Net/or; -ommni-ation tests
These tests verify that communication among the nodes of the networ!
occur are correct and that message passing, transactions and related networ!
traffic occurs without error. +etwor! tests are also being conducted. The
Chinmaya Institute of Technology .-
strategy for testing c)s architecture is analogous to testing of other architecture.
