4.1 critically review and test a Java programming solution

Criticaly review
The desktop application which is created provides a solution for the given problem
Student Management System. This is a desktop application which provides the
information about the student, class,

course and management of the testing

system.
The review of the solution:

Students and staff have the unique id and password to login. After login they
can view details in the system.

After login, student can choose a course and do testing. He/she can also view
their result after testing, they can view their marks.

Staff can view all the details of the system. They have the right to remove,
edit or add the student and also have the right to add or edit or remove the
teacher as well as also have the right to remove, edit or add new class. On
the other hand they can add and edit students mark.

Staff can view the students result after testing. They can also view the
updates which are provided by the application.

Advantages:
This system is very simple and easy to use
The system offert an effective management for the school
The system offert an directly testing for student which is very helpful in studying
Disadvantage:

This application is only suitable for small system.

There are so many functions which are not provided such as: timetable for students,
present checking, teacher management
It doesnt offert a connection between the school with students parent.

Feedback Questions

system?
Summarize

Based on above figure, I can see that the system has got good feedbacks from
users, the interface is pretty much interactive but can provide more features on the
main screen. Overdrafts facility can be revised. More programming and object
oriented concepts can be incorporated in the further implementation of the
proposed solution.
What has implemented is just a contrived functionality of any student management
system. As per the requirements few more facilities can be incorporated in the
system.
List of the improvements which can be done in application are as follows:

One new feature such as the notification should be like shedule for students
and teachers, the students and the management can have a reminder related
to the events, exams and about any program.

There must be one more feature gallery which can have the pictures of the
students or teacher.

There must be one more feature in case of any problem the students can
directly communicate with the management.

17

The feature such as students view must be there where students can share
their views related to the college.

System Requirements For the application Student Management System
1. JRE 1.6 and higher
2. Minimum 512 MB RAM
3. Operating system Linux/ Windows/ Mac
4. Hard Disk Space 200 MB
5. MS SQL Server Management Studio 2008 or later
Compiling and Running Application

24

Here are the steps for compiling and running your first Swing program with the Java
SDK
1. Download the Latest Release of the Java Platform
2. Backup database file sql.bak along with the application to MS SQL Studido
3. Run the Program: Double click on app.jar file on the desktop to run the
application
If running application successfully, a login form will show, using admin id abc
password 123 to login to the system

Login form: this is used to log in to the application

After login successful, a main frame of the application will be shown

Flow of application :
1. User accesses the application
2. Application determines whether it is normal user or admin user
3. If user is administrator, it will allow to perform the below set of operations:
29

a) Add new teacher, student, faculty, class, course, mark

b) Remove existing teacher, student, faculty, class, course, mark in the
system
c) Update existing teacher, student, faculty, class, course, mark in the
system
d) Search information
e) Show result information of student
4. If user is normal user, it will allow to perform below actions:
a) Choose course to do testing
b) View detail result after testing

Conclusion
This application has been made to understand the basic concepts and features of
java programming and desktop applications. It illustrated the fundamentals of
inheritance, classes and objects, Bytecode, JVM and so on. It helped me enhancing
my java programming skills. I have got the better understanding of Netbeans and
java. I have achieved the clarity in implementing programming solution through
designing models such as UML class diagram and so on. The student management
system has been made according to the requirements specified in the case study.
