INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, computer is essential to almost everyone; it is widely used in every area of

human endeavor. Its four basic functions in common are input, processing, storage and output.
Indeed, a computer is a very versatile machine and exceptionally beneficial in all aspects of work.
Consequently, it is also being used in Christ College of Arts and Science, Kilacheri.

Student Internal Mark Management System deals with student details, academic related
reports, college details and course details. It tracks all the details of a student from the day one to
the end of his course which can be used for all reporting purpose, tracking of progress in the course,
completed semester, upcoming semester details, exam details, project or any other assignment
details, final exam result, etc.

This project leads us to explore all the activities that happen in the college. Even we
can come to know the faculty who is assigned to particular course and the mark statement of the
particular student. The student management system is an automated version of manual Student
Management System. It can handle all the details of a student. The details include college details,
subject details, student personal details, academic details, exam details and so on.

If it is a manual system, we need lot of time, man power etc. Here almost all the works
are computerized. Hence, the accuracy is maintained. Maintaining backup is very easy. It
does the work in few minutes. Our system has two types of accessing modes, such as, administrator
and user. Student management system is managed by an administrator. It is the job of the
administrator to insert, update and monitor the whole process. When a user logs into the
system, he/she can only view details of the students and update the marks of the student and edit
it.
 This application uses a complete set of Open Source softwares. Open Source softwares are
the one which can be downloaded and can be customized based on their requirements or needs.
The software used in the development of the application includes PHP 5.3.0 and MySQL 5.1.36
Server.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS3) is a style sheet language used for describing the
presentation of a document written in a markup language. It helps the developer to develop a style
sheet as per the expectation of the client. PHP 5.3.0 is used in the development of Front end which
includes the various pages and the required fields in them. The backend of the application is where
the actual user data are handled. This includes a simple database and few tables where user
information are stored and also this information can be retrieved when required to the front end by
an appropriate SQL query.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION

All through the different stages of civilization, man has always tried to look for ways to
simplify work. It has been as certain that computers are now becoming incredibly popular
throughout the world. There have been a lot of change in the things around us owing to the fast
advancement of technology. Computers have indeed done their share as one of the tools to help
man do things better and faster, and it does so in a very efficient manner.
Internal Mark Management System (MMS) specifically intends to promote the security of
the records of students. This study aims to design, develop and establish an Internal Mark
Management System of Christ College of Arts and Science through database. Specifically, it
sought to answer the following:
 How effective is the proposed system?
 Will the proposed system reduce the workload of the staff in managing the Student
Information?
 Is computerization more efficient in monitoring the records?
 How accurate and reliable is the proposed system in managing the records of students?

2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

Existing system refers to that is being follow till now. Presently all the process are done
manually. The main disadvantage is that there will be a lot of difficulties for the staffs who conduct
seminars, tests and assignments. They have to keep all the records in a paper that are time
consuming one.
LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

 Difficult for staffs.

 Time consuming process.
 At last moment, staff adds the marks instead of conducting the tests. So there are
chances for fake entries.
 Calculating the average is a difficult task.
2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM
Student Internal Mark Management System is aimed at developing a web-based system. In
this system the staffs can enter the mark details of a student from anywhere. All the details are
made available to the staff through website.

ADVANTAGES:
 The system is user friendly.
 This website helps to maintain the records easily.
 Every staff must update the mark details in particular date. So there will not be fake
entries.
 The system is efficient one.
 More security of the data.

SYSTEM DESIGN

The System was analyzed and designed before implementation began. In this section,
Architectural Design, Database Design and GUI Design are described in details.

3.1 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Architectural design is the high-level structure. It is an early stage of the system design
process. It represents the link between specification and design processes and carried out in parallel
with some specific activities.

3.1.1 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (DFD)

Data Flow Diagram is a graphical representation of the flow of data through an information
system, modeling its process aspects. A DFD is often used as a preliminary step to create an
overview of the system which can be elaborated.

3.1.2 E-R DIAGRAM (ERD)

Entity Relationship model is a data model for describing the data or information aspects of
a business domain or its process requirements. In an abstract way that lends itself to ultimately
being implemented in a database such as a relational database.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Internal Mark Management System application focuses on maintaining the details of
students who belong to the particular college. The details of the students include their personal
details and their mark details. This automated system is very helpful for the staff who are managing
the details of students and their marks in the college. In this application, administrator can add,
update and delete the details of students. But only the administrator has the privilege of managing
the details of course and staff. So this application is safe and secure. Also staff can use the rapid
retrieval of their records and it will not make them wait too long. Thus, this application is very
helpful for controller of examination who maintains the data of students related to the department
accordingly.

 CHAPTER 5

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

5.1 LANGUAGE / TOOL

The software used in the development of the application includes CSS, PHP and MySQL.
CSS simplifies the development work of the developer as it provides a simple GUI (Graphical
User Interface). PHP is used in the development of Front end which includes the various pages
and the required fields in them.

5.1.1 CSS 3

 CSS 3 stands for Cascading Style Sheets version 3.

 CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other
media.
 CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.
 External style sheets are stored in CSS files.
 CSS is used to define styles for your web pages, including the design, layout and
variations in display for different devices and screen sizes.
 The style definitions are normally saved in external .CSS files.
 With an external style sheet file, you can change the look of an entire website by
changing just one file!

5.1.2 FEATURES OF PHP

The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a programming language that allows web
developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. PHP is basically used for
developing web based software applications.

 PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".

 PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to manage
dynamic content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites.
  It is integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server.

 PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when compiled as an Apache module
on the UNIX side. The MySQL server, once started, executes even very complex queries
with huge result sets in record-setting time.

 PHP supports a large number of major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4
added support for Java and distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making
n-tier development a possibility for the first time.

 PHP is forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible.

 PHP Syntax is C-Like.

5.1.2.1 COMMON USES OF PHP

 PHP performs system functions, i.e. from files on a system it can create, open, read, write,
and close them.

 PHP can handle forms, i.e. gather data from files, save data to a file, through email you
can send data, return data to the user.

 You add, delete, and modify elements within your database through PHP.

 Access cookies variables and set cookies.

 Using PHP, you can restrict users to access some pages of your website.

 It can encrypt data.

5.1.2.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF PHP

Five important characteristics make PHP's practical nature possible −

 Simplicity
 Efficiency
 Security
 Flexibility
 Familiarity
In order to develop and run PHP Web pages three vital components need to be installed on your
computer system.

 Web Server − PHP will work with virtually all Web Server software, including
Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) but then most often used is freely available
Apache Server.

 Database − PHP will work with virtually all database software, including Oracle and
Sybase but most commonly used is freely available MySQL database.

 PHP Parser − In order to process PHP script instructions a parser must be installed to
generate HTML output that can be sent to the Web Browser. This tutorial will guide you
how to install PHP parser on your computer.

The main way to store information in the middle of a PHP program is by using a variable. Here
are the most important things to know about variables in PHP.

 All variables in PHP are denoted with a leading dollar sign ($).

 The value of a variable is the value of its most recent assignment.

 Variables are assigned with the = operator, with the variable on the left-hand side and the
expression to be evaluated on the right.

 Variables can, but do not need, to be declared before assignment.

 Variables in PHP do not have intrinsic types - a variable does not know in advance whether
it will be used to store a number or a string of characters.

 Variables used before they are assigned have default values.

 PHP does a good job of automatically converting types from one to another when
necessary.

 PHP variables are Perl-like.

PHP has a total of eight data types which we use to construct our variables −

 Integers − are whole numbers, without a decimal point, like 4195.

 Doubles − are floating-point numbers, like 3.14159 or 49.1.

  Booleans − have only two possible values either true or false.

 NULL − is a special type that only has one value: NULL.

 Strings − are sequences of characters, like 'PHP supports string operations.'

 Arrays − are named and indexed collections of other values.

 Objects − are instances of programmer-defined classes, which can package up both other
kinds of values and functions that are specific to the class.

 Resources − are special variables that hold references to resources external to PHP (such
as database connections).

The first five are simple types, and the next two (arrays and objects) are compound - the compound
types can package up other arbitrary values of arbitrary type, whereas the simple types cannot.

PHP will work with virtually all database software, including Oracle and Sybase but most
commonly used is freely available MySQL database.

5.1.3 My SQL

My SQL is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As

a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data
as requested by other software applications—which may run either on the same computer or on
another computer across a network (including the Internet).
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) is a collection of core files provided to help
applications by providing a means of accessing data. MDAC includes core files for Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC), ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), OLEDB, Network libraries and client
configuration tool for SQL Server. Depending on your data access strategy, you may need to
ensure that MDAC is installed on the client computers, the business servers, the Web servers or
the database servers. MDAC 2.6 or later is required by the .NET Framework and at least MDAC
2.7 SP1 is recommended. The features of Microsoft SQL is thus:
 Structured Query Language or SQL is a standard computer language for accessing and
manipulating database systems.
  SQL comprises one of the fundamental building blocks of modern database architecture.
SQL defines methods using which user can create and manipulate databases on all major
platforms.
 SQL is a set based declarative programming language and not an imperative programming
language like C or BASIC.
 SQL is an ANSI and ISO standard computer language for creating and manipulating
databases.
 SQL allows the user to create, update, delete, and retrieve data from a database.
 SQL is very simple and easy to learn.
 SQL works with database programs like DB2, Oracle, MS Access, Sybase, MySQL etc.

 CHAPTER 6

SYSTEM TESTING AND VALIDATION

The testing phase involves the testing of the developed system using various kinds of data.
An elaborated testing of data is prepared and a system is tested using the test data. While testing,
errors are noted and corrections are being done. The objective of software testing is to uncover
errors. To fulfill this objective, a series of test are conducted. They are unit, integration, validation
and system. At last UAT (User Acceptance Testing) is conducted. Unit and integration tests
concentrate on functional verification of a module and incorporation of modules into a software
structure. Validation testing demonstrates trace ability to software requirements and system testing
validates once software has been incorporate into larger system.

6.1 UNIT TESTING

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic is
functioning properly, and that program input produces valid outputs. All decision branches and
internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual software units of the
application it is done after the completion of an individual unit before integration. This is a
structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is invasive. Unit test perform
basic tests at component level and test a specific business process, application, and/or system
configuration. Unit testing ensures that each unique path of a business process performs accurately
to the documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results. Unit
testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit test phase of the software lifecycle,
although it is not uncommon for coding and unit testing to be conducted as two distinct phases.

Implementation of Unit Testing

The usage of the unit testing could be seen registration form of the project clearly. The
fields are tested in many cases and conditions.
 The username and password are checked. Also, the duplicate password is given and
checked.
 If the fields are empty and invalid data typed, the browser shows an alert message.
 If an invalid id, name, email are typed, alert message is shown to the user.
  In fields like contacts number, if the text is entered the browser shows alert message. If
more than 10 digits are entered in contact field an alert message is displayed.

6.2 INTEGRATION TESTING

Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine if they
run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned with the basic outcome of
screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components were individually
satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the combination of components is correct and
consistent. Integration testing is specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the
combination of components.

Implementation of Integration Testing

Integration testing is applied to this system after attaching all programs to the appropriate
links. This checks the functionality of the system by clicking the links.

6.3 ACCEPTANCE TESTING

User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant
participation by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional requirements. In
the salary module, the special accounts form meets the end user requirements with data
manipulation is been is taken care without any redundancy and is secure path.
TEST RESULT: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.

6.4 TEST CASES

Unit testing and integration testing are used in my project. The following lines are used to test
login page and other pages using unit and integration testing.

Implementation of Unit and Integration Testing

1. The user selects username and types password and then clicks submit button, web page
shows the message like “Invalid password”, if the password miss matched.
2. When clicking submit button, it checks whether all mandatory fields are filled or not. If
any field is missing, then web page shows alert message to the user to fill those fields.
3. Check whether all validations work properly.
 4. Check whether all data are stored correctly.
5. Check whether data flow from one page to another page.

6.5 VALIDATIONS
While verification is a quality control process, quality assurance process carried out before
the software is ready for release is known as validation testing. The validation testing goals is to
validate and be confident about the software product or systems, that it fulfils the requirements
given by the user. The acceptance of the customer from the end customer is also a part of
validation.
Validation testing answers the question, “Are you building the right software”. Another
questions, which the entire process of validation testing in software engineering answers is,” Is the
deliverable fit for purpose”. In other words, does the software system provide the right solution to
the problem? Therefore, often the testing activities are introduced early in the software
development life cycle.
The compilation of the entire project is based on the full satisfaction of the end user. In this
project, validation is made in various forms. They are:

Required Field Validator

It checks for mandatory fields. All the entries must be filled.

<input type="text" name="uname" placeholder="USERNAME" required />

Regular Expression Validator

It checks for data in a particular expression. Like mail-d, data type.
<input type="email" name="mail" placeholder="MAIL-ID" required />

<input type="text" name="stid" placeholder="STUDENT ID" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9\s]"

title="must be alphanumeric ">

Range Validator
It is to check the range of user input. Like mobile number should not exceed ten digits.

<input type="text" name="stid" placeholder="STUDENT ID" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9\s]{5,12}"

title="must be alphanumeric with maximum of 12">

CONCLUSION
Internal Mark Management System is an application which is very much helpful for the
administration of college………………………..

Since printings of register are accessed only by admin, it is secure and does not allow illegal
users to access the system. The system is designed for easy use. The interface is made easy, so that
admin can use the application, and the configuration is done easily and quickly on a single click.
Thus the requirements needed are satisfied. Retrieving data of the student is one of the most salient
features in this system and generating report also.
 CHAPTER 10

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

Since Internal Mark Management System project has been designed exclusively a project
for college, certain complexities that do face by any real life manual problem like entering wrong
data, delay entry and so on are considered in this project. But enhancement to the project can easily
be made without changing the current design and programming structure. The database can also
be extended and new tables can be added. Hence, this application is easy to handle and maintain
by the admin of college.
