Microsoft Visual C++.Net Visual C++ provides deep support for creating XML web services including ATL servers and a new project type for creating powerful serverbased applications. With attribute based programming any function can be easily exposed as an XML web service. Traditional unmanaged C++ and new managed C++ code can be mixed freely within the same application. Existing components can be wrapped as .NET components by using the managed extension. This preserves investment in existing code while integrating with the .NET Framework. ADO.NET ActiveX Data Objects.NET (ADO.NET), formerly known as ADO+ is a new set of classes that expose the data access services of the .NET Framework. ADO.NET is a natural evolution of ADO and is built around NTier application development.ADO.NET has been created with XML at its core. The ADO.NET object model is composed of two central components: the connected layer, which consist the classes that comprises the .NET Data Provider and the disconnected layer, which is rooted in the Dataset. .NET Data Providers includes the following components: the Connection Object, the Command Object, the Data Reader, and the Data Adapter. The first two should be familiar to existing ADO Programmer; they are used to open a connection to a data source and execute a command against it. The Data Reader loosely corresponds to a forward-only, read-only record set. It is a highly optimized, no buffering and fire host-style interface for getting the results of a query executed against the data source. The Data Adapter provides the dataset.

4. SYSTEM DESIGN
Data Flow Diagram
The data flow diagram (DFD) is one of the most important tools used by system analysts. Data flow diagrams are made up of a number of symbols that represents system components. Most data flow modeling methods use four kinds of symbols. These symbols are used to represent four kinds of system components. Processes, data stores, data flows and external entities. Circles in DFD represent processes. Data flow is represented by a thin line in the DFD and each data store has a unique name and square or rectangle represents external entities. Unlike detailed flowchart, data flow diagrams do not supply detailed description of the modules but graphically describes a systems data and how the data interact with the system. To construct a data flow diagram we use, Arrow Circles Open end box Squares An arrow identifies the dataflow in motion. It is a pipeline through which information is flown like the rectangle in the flowchart. A circle stands for process that converts data into information. An open-ended box represents a data store, data at rest or a temporary repository of data. A square defines a source or destination of system data.

ERP-For Industrial Management System

Five rules for constructing a data flow diagram: 1. Arrows should not cross each other 2. Squares, circles and files must bear names. 3. Decomposed data flow squares and circles can have same names. 4. Choose meaningful names for data flow.

4.1 Database Design

Database is the heart of this application. All information entered into the system is stored into the database in the form of Tables. A proper database design will facilitate immediate and fast access of data into and out of the tables. The development of the database system is not a major breakthrough in the computer technology rather it is a logical development in the method used by the computer to access and manipulate data shared in various parts of computer system. The overall objective in the development of database technology are to treat data as an organizational resource as an integrated whole. The software package, which helps the user to integrate with the contents of database, is known as Database Management System. Data Integration Data integrity Data independency Data integration refers to the logical interactive of deferent piece of data scatted in the entire system in the data base information from several files are coordinately accessed and operated upon as through it is in single file. Logically the information is centralized physically the data may be located on deferent devices and is widely scatted geographically connected through data communication facility. Data independence is the insulations of

ERP-For Industrial Management System

12

application programs from the changing aspect of the physical data organization. This is essential because deferent application need the same data in different forms. If all the data kept in all this different forms it will result in wastage of space due to increase in redundancy Various tables designed for this purpose are attached in Annexure

4.2 Input Design

Input is one of the expensive phases of the operation of computerized system. The input data are the life blood of a system and has to be analyzed and designed with almost care and consideration. Input system design features can ensure the reliability of the system and generate correct reports from the accurate data. It also determines whether the user can interact efficiently with the system. Different types of problem occurs with the system usually be traced back to faculty input design method. The input data is validated, edited, organized in an acceptable form by the system before being processed. Wrong messages were displayed in the screen when any invalid data was given as input in the system. In entering data operation one needs to know the following: Allocated space for each field The field sequence, which must be in source document The format in which data field were entered The name of the item for the specified code Input design are attached in APPENDIX

4.3 Output Design

Output design produces the hardcopy regarding the information requested or displays the output in a predefined format. It is the direct source of information to the end user. Efficient and intelligible outputs improve the systems relationships with the users and help in decision-making. Computer output is most important and direct source of information to the user. Efficient and intelligible output design should improve the systems relationship with the user and help in design making. The nature of processing and procedure related to the system were classified and gives the output results. Output from the computer storage is required primarily communicate the result of processing to the users and provide permanent copy of the results for later consultation. While designing the output, the type of the output, concern format, frequency responses etc., have been taken into consideration. The output reports play a major role in the system. Reports are printed periodically in order to help the authorities of the company to make decisions and to get over all information about the system. The various reports generated by the system are attached in Annexure.

Computer output is the most important direct sources of information to the user efficient. Intelligible output design should improve system

ERP-For Industrial Management System

15

relationship with the user and help in decision making. Hard copy is preferred since it is to be used by the management for the future references. The output design, various output layouts are made. The objectives of output specification are: To interpret and communicator the results of the computer in a way in which they can understand. To communicate the output design specification to the user in which unambiguous and comprehensive errors may not occur. Outputs from a computer system are required primarily to communicate the results of processing to user. Outputs are also used to provide a permanent copy of these results for later consultation.

5. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Development is the state in the project where the theoretical design is turned into a working system. The most crucial stage is achieving a successful system and confidence on the new system for the user that it will work efficiently and effectively. The system can be developed only after when testing is done and if it is found to work to the specifications. It involves careful planning, investigation of the current system and its constraints on development of education and training of users and testing the system. System development is an important phase in the software engineering process. Various approaches are there for developing a system. Individual application approach is one of the well-known approaches for system development. This involves the development of individual computer based application the system serve in a specific application area in an isolated way. The first step in which the analyst must undertake is to understand the current system by gathering all information about it. The required datas are collected by several methods like: Interviews with the management. Questionnaires Study of the current manuals Observation of the functioning

ERP-For Industrial Management System

17

Sampling and Research In a system development phase, all the codes of the application are generated. This approach has got a number of advantages. The system is easier to develop and implement because applications are small and relatively simple.

6 TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

6.1 System Testing
System testing makes a logical assumption that if all the paths of the system are correct, the goal will be successfully achieved. System testing is aimed at ensuring that the system works accurately and efficiently before it can be operated on live data. The logical design is thoroughly done and continuously examined. Inadequate testing may lead to error may explode into a much larger problem in course of time if not needed properly. The proper choice of test is as important System Testing makes a logic assumption that if all the paths of as test itself. The main objective for testing is described as follows: Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error. A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as-yet undiscovered error. A successful test is on e that uncovers as-yet undiscovered errors. Software is the only one element of a large computer-based system. Ultimately, software is incorporated with other system elements (e.g., hardware, people, information), and a series of system integration and validation tests are conducted. These tests fall outside the scope of the software process and are not conducted solely by software engineers. However, steps taken during software design and testing can greatly improve the probability of successful software integration in the larger system.

TESTING METHODOLOGIES 1. UNIT TESTING Unit testing focuses verification efforts on the smallest unit of software Design, the module. This is also known as Module Testing. The modules are tested separately. This testing is carried out during programming stage itself. In this testing step each module is found to be working satisfactorily as regard to the expected output from the module. 2. INTEGRATION TESTING Data can be lost across an interface. One module can have an adverse effort on the other. Sub functions, when combined, may not produce the desired major functions. Integration testing is a systematic testing for constructing he program structure, while at the same time conducting tests to uncover errors associated within the interface. The objective is to take unit tested module and build a program structure. All the modules are combined and tested as a whole. Here correction is difficult because the vast expense of the entire program complicate the isolation of causes. Thus in the integration testing step, all the errors are uncovered are corrected for the next testing steps. 3. VALIDATION TESTING After Integration Testing, the software is completely assembled as a package, interfacing errors have been uncovered and corrected and then test of software is conducted i.e., Validation Test. Validation Test succeeds when the software function in a manner that can be reasonably expected by

ERP-For Industrial Management System

20

the client. Software validation is achieved through series of Black Box Testing, which confirms with the requirements. 4. BLACKBOX TESTING Black box testing is conducted at the software interfaces. This test through is designed to uncover errors interfaces. This test through is designed to uncover errors interfaces, is also used to demonstrate that software functions are operational, input is properly accepted, output are produced correctly and that the integrity of external information are maintained. Black Box Testing attempts to find errors in the following categories: Incorrect or missing functions. Interface errors. Errors in Database Structure. Performance and termination errors. 5. OUTPUT TESTING After performing the validation testing, the next step is output testing of the proposed system since no system could be useful if it does not produces the required output in the specific format. The outputs generated or displayed by the system under consideration are tested by asking the user about the format required by them. Here, the output format is considered in two ways, one is on the screen and another is printed format.

ERP-For Industrial Management System

6. USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING User acceptance testing in a system is the key factor for the success of any system. The system under consideration is tested for user acceptance by constantly keeping in touch with the prospective system users at time of developing and making changes wherever required. This is done with regard to the following points: Input screen design Output screen design The above testing are done taking various kinds of test data. Preparation of test data plays vital role in the system testing. After preparing the test data the system under study is tested using that test data. While testing the system by using test data errors are again uncovered and corrected by using above testing steps.

6.2 System Implementation

Implementation is the process of converting a new or revised system design into an operational one. Thus it can be considered to be the chanciest stage in achieving a successful new system and its vital to assure the user confidence that the proposed new system will never cause impairs and it will be effective. If implementation is not carefully planned and controlled, it can cause chaos. Consultation and a demonstration were given to them about the working of the system. The aim of the system illustration was to identify any logical miss-working of the system when various combinations of test data were fed. Processing accuracy and reliability checking were also made. The first task in implementation is the implementation planning, that is deciding on methods to be adopted. This is done in view of any last minute changes that will be necessary in the formats. After the approval of the system by the user and the system manager, the system was implemented in the user department. The three approaches of implementation are direct, parallel and changeover. In the first approach, the existing system is rejected and the new system is completely implemented. In parallel approach both existing system and new system will be working simultaneously. Direct method of implementation is followed in this project.
