BIBLOGRAPHY

This Project is built to model the EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM as closely as possible.
Some features are:
1
Separate profiles for users, containing all their personal data.
Possibility of multiple entries per profile.
Finding the salary and hours according to the according the employye name and as well as
the status.
A such a management system by which you can search employee and his data and available
of total number of hours.
Separate profile type for officials.
Appropriate error checking.

All these and other transactions and features have been described in detail in the following section.

1.1

The EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) is a software application to assist an


employee salary with transactions related to making book entry.

1.2

From the viewpoint of the employee management system -

1.2.1

Minimize repetitive work done by the system administrator and booking clerks.

1.2.2

Employee system that would keep a record of employee data including their
Pension plan.

1.2.3

Union membership status, and taxes and also to be able to calculate the pay of the
Employees taking into consideration employee data.

1.2.4

Maximize the revenue of the company by various means:

1.2.4.1 Increase awareness among many company about various special offers by which they can
save more much time.
1.2.4.2 The software we developed calculates the employee net pay from the deductions.
1.2.4.3 The payslip can be printed out as a receipt.
1.3

Most of the bugs that we found and those that the clients and beta users found have been
corrected. Any new bugs found will also be corrected and the software will be
Updated and released.

1.4

Because we used object-oriented principles, modifying the software to fix bugs


Or add a new feature has been relatively easy.

1.1 Definition of Problem


XP, the user story serves the purpose of the problem statement and the specifications. The user
Story provided by the client was as follows:
You are to design and implement a payroll system that should accept employee hours worked,
compute net pay and record all the payroll data for subsequent processing. The system should prepare
pay cheques and a payroll ledger, and maintain data on a sequential payroll file. Non-statutory
deductions such as union dues and pension plans to be made.
The payroll data are employee number, employee name, pay rate, and union member flag. The yearto-date total should contain earnings, federal tax, pension plan, and union dues To accomplish these
tasks, we had to meet with the client to find out exactly what the program is meant to do. Here are the
sub stories that we were able to get from the client:
The program accepts employee hours worked
The program computes net pay
The program record all the payroll data for subsequent processing
The program should prepare pay cheques
The program should prepare a payroll ledger
The program should maintain data on a sequential payroll file
Non-statutory deductions such as union dues and pension plans to be made
Year-to-date total should contain earnings, federal tax, pension plan, and union dues
Payroll data are employee number, employee name, pay rate, and union member flag

1.2 Terminology Definition


This section gives a definition and explanation of some of the terms used in the project:
Employee Data: This is the employee's information in the company. It consists of the employee
identification number, employee name, pay rate, pension plan flag, and union member flag.
Payroll Records: The payroll records are used to store each months hours worked, and the rates for
That month.
Rates: Rates consists of the percentage that would be deducted from the gross pay depending on
union membership status, pension plan, state and federal tax. Each employee can have a unique
hourly rate.
9

Payroll Ledger: This is a table that shows the calculated pay of employees and the month in which
they earned the pay. The ledger can be filtered by name, identification number, year and month.
Hours Worked: This is the number of times that an employee work in a month. The hours worked is
used to calculate the pay that an employee will receive for that month.
Net Pay: The net pay is the final salary amount that would be given to the employee after all the
deductions are subtracted from the gross pay. The deductions include among others taxes, union
member dues and pension plan.
Gross Pay: The gross pay is the amount that the employee earns before the deductions are
subtracted.
Deductions: Deductions are made up of taxes, union membership dues, pension plan. They are
subtracted from the gross pay to give the net pay which is the employee's final pay for the month.
Taxes: The taxes consists of the state dues and federal dues. A percentage of the employee's salary
goes to state and country.
Union Membership Dues: This is meant for employee's that are union workers in the company.
They get to pay a percentage for union dues. An employee can be a union member and later change
status to be a non-union member.
Pension Plan: Employees that opted to use the pension plan of the company get to pay a particular
percentage of their pay in preparation for their retirement.
Payslip: These are similar to pay cheques. They allow the employee to have his or her pay printed
out on paper so that they can cash it.
Year-To-Date Total: The year-to-date total is the summation of all the previous earnings till the
month before the current month.

1.3 Definition of Project Objectives


The purpose of this project is to put into practice what we have learnt so far in our software
engineering class. We spent most of the semester studying extreme programming. With extreme
programming, the client knows how far he or her software is coming and knows what to except at
one particular time or the other. The software is built exactly the way the client wants it to be built.

1.4 Project Deliverables


We met with our client on a few occasions to show our progress so far. In the long run, showing the
client part of the finished product in stages helped. There were a few things he brought to our
understanding and we were able to change those things. If we had waited till we finished the coding,
we would have found it really difficult to correct the errors we found in such a short time.
10

The graphical user interface was acceptable to the client at this stage even though he thought we
could improve on it with a little more time. From our project deliverables, the client was able to
bring to our understanding that the employees should have different pay rates and that it would be
safe (for record purposes) to calculate the employee's year-to-data total salary earnings. These
observations were later incorporated into the final deliverable.

1.5 Project Plan


At the beginning of the project, we scheduled meeting time for the group to discuss on the design
and implementation of the software and what language to use in writing the software. We had several
meetings to this effect. When then developed a time-line for the projectwhen we would be releasing
the first version for scrutiny and the estimated time we thought we would use for refactoring. We also
pondered on a suitable name to give the project. We came up with the name Piccolo but it was later
changed to Payroll System after our meeting with our client.
The group was then divided into two pairs that would work on parts of the code. We kept in touch
with each other and whenever we had difficulties, we asked each other questions. On some
occasions, we had to pretend we were the customer so as to try to figure out some of the things that
user would desire, such as the friendliness of the user interface and ease of navigation through the
software. We also created a blog so that we could communicate with each other, and also so that our
client could track our progress.
When we discovered that we were behind schedule, we met to create a new time-line. We were
behind schedule mostly because of our different engagements in school work and other personal
issues. Fortunately for the team, we were able to stick to the new time-line and the project was
completed in due time.
After the major part of the code was completed, we went ahead to lace the code, that is, adding
exception handlers which will make the software more robust. We avoided this at the beginning
because we did not want to get confused with too many lines of code.
The version of the software that has been released can still be improved depending on user response.
So far, we have succeeded in completing the desired goal of from the user stories given to us. The
beta software has been released about three times and we have been able to get good ideas from the
various users on how to improve the functionality, reliability and robustness of the software.

DESIGN
2.1 An Introduction to the methods and techniques adopted
Within the design
The software was built using Visual Basic and it can run on computers that have the .NET
Framework installed. We divided the whole project into five main modules: employee data, payroll
records, rates, ledger and help.
When a data is saved, the data gets written into an XML file. Keeping in line with making the
software platform-independent, XML is also a highly platform-independent format for storing data.
This is where all the data of the employee is stored, along with each months payroll data for the
employee. There is also a separate XML file for storing current rates. For an employee data or
payroll data to be saved to the file, it has to be serialized. Getting any data from the file will require
the data to first be deserialized before it can be used. Serialization and deserialization helped make
the data storage very simple.
We also used the object-oriented paradigm to code and organize our program. This ensured code
reuse, and efficient updating of the code later on.

2.3 More detailed description of the most important modules


of the design
The most important modules of the design are the employee data, payroll records and rates. For the
employee data module, we had to keep track of the identification number, name, union membership
status, pension plan agreement and payroll of an employee. We also had to link these to a general
module that will hold all the other employees. There had to be a means of storing all these data,
retrieving them, adding data and deleting data without giving any errors. From the employee data
module, we had to create a link to the employee's pay records.
The payroll records had to contain the number of hours that the employee had worked and in what
month and year that the employee worked. We also had to keep in mind the rate with which we
would be able to calculate the employee's pay. The payroll records also had to contain the employee's
deductions, that is, the deductions from the pension plan, union membership fee and taxes.
Obviously, the payroll records also had to contain the gross and net pay of the employee.
The picture below shows a brief look at the modules of the original design.

We refactored the modules. This had to be done after one first deliverable was given to out client.
13

2.4 Indication of how the design fulfills the requirements


From the design picture above, it is clear that the software is meant to accept employee data, i.e., the
identification number, name, union membership status and pension plan. It should stores these data
in a XML file. The software computes the employee payroll depending on the rate and deductions
that has been specified for the employee. New employees can always be added to the list of existing
employees. There is no limit to the number of employees that the list holds. An employee's data can
be modified as well as deleted from the list.
Each employee has a link to a pay data in the payroll records module. From the design diagram, we
can see that a new payroll data can be added to the employee's list of existing pay data. The payroll
calculates the employee's pay depending on the hours worked, the employee's rates and deductions
that include pension dues, union membership dues and taxes. Each pay data is stored according to the
month and year is was calculated.
14

IMPLEMETATION
Some of the difficulty we faced was in trying to make the desired functions work. At first the coding
seemed a little complex, so we went back to the client for clarification and we were able to get a
more detailed description of the functions. After studying the IDE we wanted to use, the coding
became less complex and we were able to figure out how to go about it.

3.1 Technical issues encountered


Some of the technical issues and questions we encountered were with the following:

How the program saves data

How errors are detected and the error messages that should appear

What happens when we try overwriting data that already exists on the list

Is the software user friendly?

Is the Graphic User Interface elegant ?

The platform the software should run on

We were able to answer and resolve these issues after meetings and discussions with the entire
group.

3.2 Software development practices adopted

We used Extreme Programming to build the software.

We adopted the whole team approach in which the client was involved through out the
software

development.

We used simple designs which were as simple as the current functionality allowed by the
system.

We first began with very simple design which is incrementally improved.

Continuous integration was also used where each code was compiled run and tested before
adding to the system after which the system must meet all the criteria

The most important practice adopted was pair programming. We paired up with members of the
team and each team met at various times to code. After each pair coded, they made sure they
tested and compiled it, then added it to the main system which they sent to the other group
members.
We also made sure that we coded according to coding standards, the development codes were
15

consistent and had the same style through out.

FEASIBILITY STUDY:Feasibility study

before development or customization of software we think following of the

major points, which includes following: a) Economical


b) Technical
c) Duration
Economical:This study about the software basically give the suggestion like if we develop software for our
organization than how much it will forfeitable, workable as well as economical. If we developing a
software which very economical but not profitable there it is also wrong decision. Still we have
economical study about the system table following of the point.
How much costing of the software?
What is the output of the customization?
What are the advantages in compression manual we check
Whether it is time or not?
Whether it is use friendly or not?
It is mountable for long term.
Understanding about the software
Corrective of software.
Technical:We also consider some technical points about development of software.
We see whether the software is reliable or not.
Whether it is work time for long time or not.
16

What are the languages as well as OS is used for development of software.


It provides security or not.
Software is reusable or not.
Software is updated or not.
Software is flexible or not whether software can maintain.
Duration:It is also a major point when we develop software. We also consider about time, how much time
software place to complete because for a big organization time factor is money for full successful of
the software also Tax some times so we have consider from starting to last that means beginning to
software.

REPORTS

In developing cost estimates for a system, we need to consider servable cost elements. Among them
hardware, personnel, facility, operating, & supply costs.

Hardware Cost:Hardware cost relate to the actual purchase or lease of the computer & peripherals Ex. Printer, disk,
floppy drive, the best way to control for this cost is to treat it as an operating cost.

Personnel Cost:This includes staff salaries & benefits (health insurance, vocation time, sick pay etc.) as well as pay
for those involved in developing system. Costs incurred during the development of a system are one
time costs & are labeled developmental costs. Once the system is installed the costs of operating
&maintaining the system become recurring costs.

Facility Costs:Facility costs are expenses incurred in the preparation of the physical site where the application or the
computer will be i operation. This includes wiring, flooring, acoustics, lighting & air conditioning.
These costs are treated as one time costs.

Operating Cost:Operating costs include all costs associated with the day to day operating system. The amount
depends on the number of sifts the nature of the application & the caliber of the operating staff. There
are various ways of covering operating costs to overhead. Another approach is to change each

20

authorized user for the amount of processing they request from the system. The amount charged is
based on the computer time, staff time & the volume of output produced.

Supply Cost:These costs are variable costs that increase with increased use of paper, ribbon, disks & the like they
should be estimated & include in the overall cost of the system.

Equipment Cost:Equipment costs include rental & annual deprecation of any equipment such as typewriter, copies,
computer terminals & microcomputers used in connection with the system. Other costs associated
with the equipment, such as insurance & maintenance should also be included.

21

SYSTEM:A system can be defined as A set of arrangement of elements that are organized to
accomplish some method, procedure or control by processing information.
System Analysis stages down the broad frame work of strategy stage into its minute details.
This is the stage where intensive user interaction assumes a lot of importance.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:Development Phase, translates a set of requirements into an operational system that we call
Software. At early stages of hardware development a hardware engineer does not reach for a
soldering iron, similarly the Software engineer should not reach the compiler. Design is accomplished
first.
The first phase of development concentrates on design. The design phase for software with a
description of architecture and data design. That is a modular structure is developed first, interfaces
are defined and data structure is established. Design criteria are used for the assessment of quality.
This preliminary design step is reviewed for completeness and tractability to software requirements.
Procedural aspects of each modular component of the software design are considered next,
and is following by the CODING the generation of program using an appropriate programming
language or CASE tool occurs after the design is complete. Software engineering methodology
views coding as a consequence of good design. Code is then reviewed for style and clarity, but should
otherwise be directly traceable to a detailed design description.

DETAILED ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM :Identification of all the Entities of importance for which data need to be stored and defined
their relationship with each other was a major task at this level. All the identified entities were

22

mapped on a E-R-diagram. It is of utmost importance to cover all the necessary entities and defined
their relationship with each other correctly because any errors at this stage would result in the
reworking in the further stages.
Unique Identification, UID:A unique identification is required to be identified and associated with each other at this stage.
Function Hierarchy:Function hierarchy is used for grouping related functions under a parent function. The
hierarchy is balanced so that all elementary functions come in the same level of hierarchy. A good
hierarchy drawn at this stage helped in menu generation at a later stage.

The Basic Objective:The basic objective of the system design was the system being developed should be able to fit
into the existing system, that is it become a part of the system and it should not lead to any changes
which can adversely affect the existing system. The airways having many activities which affect one
another so the approach of airways reservation is generated for the simplification of data handling.
The approach would bring in the following benefits:

Standardization of the methods and procedures.

Availability of information centrally.

Minimizing future maintenance requirements.

Reduction in the learning process for new personal.

Packaged systems:The systems would have the following features:23

Completely menu drive interface with the provision of initiating even the batch jobs by the user
himself.

On Line help

Strong documentation

Validation checks done by the system itself

Minimization of input to the system to produce maximum output.

Designing is the most important part of the software development. It requires a careful
planning and logical thinking on the system designer. Designing a software means to plan how the
various parts of the software are going to achieve the desired goal. It should done with the utmost
care because if this phase contains any errors then that will be going to affect the performance of the
system, as a result it may take more processing time, more coding, extra work load etc.
As the software is to be designed in ORACLE RDBMS, the concept of the database is must
for quality designing. It will be designing of the database, designing of forms, designing of reports.

Separate tables have been created for each entity of the system. In order to make the response
time negligible, all the tables have been created in the Memory File System. Moreover indexes have
been created on the tables in the number of records have been made random.

24

The design stages takes the final specification of the system from the analysis stages and finds
the best way of fulfilling them, given the technical environment and previous decision on required
level of automation
The system design is carried out in two phases: Architectural Design
Detailed Design

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN:The high level design maps the business system described in the program requirement
specification to logical data structure, it involves:
Identification of the entities that constitutes the system:All the entities related to the module were identified, checked and consolidated
Identifying the Relationships:The relationships between the entities, within and outside the system were identified.
Attribute definition:The pertaining of the entities was identified and their field characteristics were specified.
Normalization:25

The entities were normalization, after first and the second normalization was achieved for all the
entities.

Interface:Interface with the other systems were done and attributes related to external entities identified.

DETAILED DESIGN:The low level design maps the logical model of the system to a physical database design.
Table Mapping:The Table was created for the system using the design view, which is the part of the ORACLE.
This has provision to create the entities and attributes into the Tables. The name of the entity is
taken as the table name.
Default Database Design:In ORACLE we can create tables through the queries and some command. The tables divide into
two parts. These names are as follow: ROWS
COLUMNS
The steps involved here were:-

1. Generation of table
2. Check Validation Rule
3. Check Validation Text
4. Primary Keys
5. Unique Keys
6. Foreign Keys

Relationship:ORACLE allows many types of relationship between the tables. These relationship names are as
follow: One to One Relationship
26

Many to One Relationship


Many to Many Relationship

Program specifications:The program specifications were written for the master, transactions, reports and queries. The
logic for each field, block and form were written so that anyone who does not know the system will
be able to code the logic. Field validations and user-friendly error messages were written as part of
the program specification.

27

WINDOW 98 used as PLATFORM


Windows XP is latest version of windows and also GUI. This is best then another Operating
system and easy.
Windows XP has come up with another bonanza, that is, Network Communication with other
users. The users can connect with other users to share data files and peripheral devices, like Printers.
The Communication tools of Windows XP include E-Mail and connection to Internet.

VISUAL BASIC used as FRONT END


Visual Basic uses front-end programming because VB use Back end as like oracle and
any other Database.
In VB we can use easy database connectivity and design the Form, Report, and others MDI
applications with the help of Database.
VB facility the database controls which helps the changing, modifying, deleting and adding
facility in database with the help of command buttons and controls.
VB is used for see the Data in many modes such as with the help of MSFlexGrid Controls,
Textbox, Combo box, List box, Image, Picture control and other.
Visual Basic gives the different types of accessing the Database (RDO, ADO and DAO)
Visual Basic is complete programming language that supports programming constructs for
looping, decision making and efficient processing. These constructs include
For.next
Do.loop
Selectcase
28

Withend with
If.then.else
Visual Basic helps of creation Menus, Master-Details Form.

MS ACCESS used as BACK END


MS ACCESS is a database and partially RDBMS. In Access we can create Database design
and give the validations. Access allows the many types of relations between the tables.
Access used as Backend with the Visual Basic. Access allows creating the Primary Key,
Foreign Key and Unique Key. In Access we can store the data in to the table for using the wizard
options.

29

During system testing, the system is used experimentally to ensure that the software does not
fall, i.e. it will run according to specification and in the way users expect. Special test data input for
processing and the result examination. A limited number of users may be allowed to use the system
so that analysis can see whether they use it in unforeseen ways. It is preferable to discover any
surprises the organization implements the system and encounters them later on. This type of testing
which allows only a few, selected users to work on the system is known as BETA TESTING. On the
other hand the testing done by the developer (s), themselves is known as ALPHA TESTING.
Testing is generally performed by persons other than those who the original programs to
ensure complete and unbiased testing and more reliable software.
The norms followed during the testing phase were thoroughly tested by me, the developer; I
was required to release the programs source code. The source code was copied into the area. If some
changes were desired in the program, I was suitably informed and was required to make the necessary
modifications.
Following testing procedures were used

UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is the testing of a single program module in an isolated environment. The
testing of the processing procedure is the main focus. In this regard, all the modules were separately
tested first as isolated and complete entities. This helped a lot in discovering problems related to a
single module and rectifying them in the contest of the module itself, rather than considering modulerelated problem in a global context.

30

INTEGRATION TESTING
Integration testing is the process of testing the interfaces among system modules. Some
testing ensures that data moves between systems as intended. In the regard of a particular module was
obtained in correct format, so that the next module could accept it appropriately. This could be done
either after the entire system was developed, or in stages than one module was developed.

SYSTEM TESTING
System testing is the testing of the system against its initial objectives. Such testing is
done either in a simulated environment or in a live environment.
In the case of the system which I developed, the testing was done in a pseudo-real
environment. The organization has an area called the Development , where all development work
is carried out, whereas the Client is the area where all on-line work is undertaken. Since the kind of
work which I was involved dealt with insertion, updating and in tables, all the work was developed in
the Development area. I call the environment pseudo-real since all data which is being used for online transaction can be copied into the tables of the Development and live data can be worked on.
Thus whatever would be the output on the Client is reflected exactly on the Development also?
Thus, discovery of error became simpler in that the errors which would occur in the real-time
environment were exactly duplicated in the Development environment.
All the above types of testing were carried out and various extreme cases were also introduced
to check for whether the system responded as expected. The various Forms, database packages,
procedures, function; visual basic programs and functions were tested to discover they behaved in the
31

manner expected of them and gave accurate results. However, the factor, which helped most in the
modification and rectification of the system, was the user response. The user after using the system
would invariably come up with some idea to improve the system. Such ideas, if feasible, were
incorporated into the system, thus leading to an improvement in the overall efficiency of the system.

Implementation, literally, means to put into effect or to carry out. The system implementation
phase of software engineering deals with all activities that take place to convert from the old system
to the new. Proper implementation is essential to provide system to meet organizations requirements.
During the implementation phase debugging, documentation of the system was created out,
module in the project for

Accuracy of Results,

Minimization of response Time,

Clarity and Simplicity of the code,

Minimization of Hard Coding i.e. (a generic approach was followed )

Minimization of amount of memory used.

Various types of errors were discovered while debugging the modules. These ranged from
errors to failure to account for various processing cases. Proper documentation of each module was
done by embedding comments in the executable portion of the code. To enhance the readability,
comments, indentation, parenthesis, black spaces, blank lines and borders were around the blocks of
comments. Care was taken to use descriptive names for table, field, modules, forms etc., The proper
use of indentation, parenthesis and blank lines was also ensured during coding.
32

Testing of the Report Generation module was carried out to find out the response time of the
system for the generating reports. To make the response time negligible

Maintenance is a fact of life in the development of information systems. However the making
of changes & adjustments dont necessarily signal correction of error or the occurrence of problems.
Among the most frequent changes requested by end users is the addition of information to a
report format. Information requirements may be revised as the result of system usage or changing
operational needs. Perhaps oversights that occurred during the development process need to be
corrected.
Often, the need arises to capture additional data for storage in a database or perhaps when it is
necessary to add error detection features to prevent system users from inadvertently taking an
unwanted action.

These are the realities of application maintenance, when they occur, however they are an
indication that the system is being used & that it is serving a useful function rather than being
shelved by the intended, such as :

More accurately defining the users requirements during system development.

Assembling better systems documentation.

Making better use of existing tools & techniques.


33

Including proper comments.

34

Documentation is the process of collecting, organizing, storing and maintaining on paper


(or some relatively permanently medium) a complete record of why application were developed,
for whom, what function they perform, and how these functions are carried out. Thus it provides
an explanation of how a system operates & what feature characterize models & algorithms.
Producing documentation is an important but often neglected activity of programmers.
Documentation of the system always reduces maintenance costs and makes maintenance
much easier. Documentation can be broadly classified as:
1.

INTERNAL DOCUMENTATION

2.

EXTERNAL DOCUMENTATION

INTERNAL DOCUMENTATION
Internal documentation in the code can be extremely useful in enhancing the understandability
of programs. Internal documentation of programs is done by the use of comments. All the languages
provide means of writing comments in the programs. Comments are textual statements that are meant
for the reader and are not executed. Comments, if properly written, and if kept consistent with the
code, can be invaluable during maintenance.
The purpose of comments is not to explain the internal logic of the program the program
itself is the best documentation for the details of logic. The comments should explain what the code is
done is doing, and not how it is done it.
Comments should be provided for the block of code, particularly those parts of code which
are hard to follow.
Providing comments for module is most useful as module form the unit testing, compiling,
verification and modification. Comments for a module are often called prologue for the module. It is
best to standardize the structure of the prologue of the module. It is desirable that prologue contains
the following information:
a)

Module functionality or what the module is doing

b)

Parameters are their purpose


35

c)

Assumptions about the input, if any

d)

Global variable accessed and or modified in the module

As explanation of parameters (whether they are input only, output only or both input and output , why
they are needed by the module and how the parameters are modified ) can be quite useful during
maintenance.
In addition to that given above, often information can be included, depending on the local
coding standards. Example includes:
-

Name of the author,

Date of compilation

Last date of modification.

Note that if the module is modified, then the prologue should also be modified, if necessary. A
prologue that is inconsistent with the internal logic of the module is prologue worse than having no
prologue at all.
While coding programs for the Station Coding System special attention has been paid to the
internal documentation of the system, in addition to the external documentation. Each
program/module has:
Program/module name on top
Date of creation of the program
Last modification date
The S/W tool used to developed the program
Description of input to the program/module
Description of the output produced
How the module is related to other modules
Purpose of variables/constants used
Apart from this comment lines have been inserted wherever it was felt that they were
necessary. Moreover meaningful variable names/constants have been assigned to different
variable/constants used in the programs.

The project made me realize the significance of developing software for client, where all the
eventualities have to be taken care of, unlike at educational institution, where the sole aim is to learn.
What may be seen to the developed to be software complete in all respects, I was required to meet the
stringent demands of the in-house client in the materials department. Through this seemed tough at
first, I realized that pressure goaded us on to develop better and better applications.
During the project, the real importance for following all the principle of System Analysis and
Design drawled on me. I felt the necessity of going through the several stages, because only such a
process could make one understand the problems at hand, more so due to the enormous size of data
stores involved and their manipulation
In retrospect, I would like to say that the institute provided us with sample opportunities to
learn Oracle 8 and its tools. I specifically was able to learn ORACLE and its Tools. I specially was
able to learn VISUAL BASIC 6.0. I also succeeded in understanding a number of tricky concept in
database, which were earlier only hazy blobs in the realm of our comprehension. However

my

project library management is an asset to the organization, even then FURTHER ENHANCEMENT
is possible in this project such as new forms & reports can be included as and when required.
Unfortunately due to lack of time we can developed any report in this system but this is not
the end of this system software, it is beginning. We can change and modify this software due to
more requirements of needs and also removed some errors which is finding in this system software.

We also developed some complex reports which is required and makes this software more
powerful and friendly for user by which user can handle library data more easily and can calculate
all the calculation without any other software i.e., users all the requirements will be fulfill by this
software and user can manage all the numeric data calculations.
