Student Data and Financial Management System for Amro Computer System

Abstract

Amro computer System is an educational institute of information technology which is situated in the Maho area in Kurunagala district. Before the installation of the system which was developed through this project, all the management operations in the institute were done with lots of paper works. Due to this type of manual system, staff and the management of Amro computer System faced lots of issues such as data duplication, inaccuracy information, time and paper wastage, and unavailability of information on time. The system, Student Data and Financial Management System has been developed as a standalone system that covers all management operations of the institute, like student data handling (personal data, attendance data, registration data), student payments handling, time table controlling, administrative transactions handling and, maintaining and monitoring reports. In addition to that, It was expected to add backup and restore module and also a user account administration module to the system. While developing the system, waterfall approach was used as the software development life cycle model. In the analysis and design phases, Object Oriented techniques and UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams such as use case diagrams, class diagrams, activity diagrams and sequence diagrams were used. Dia and iReport was used as the diagramming tool and the report design tool respectively. MySQL workbench was used for design database and Netbeans GUI builder was used to design interfaces. NetBeans IDE was aided to coding and Java and SQL were used as programming languages. In the testing phase, black box and white box approaches were associated as testing methods. Unit testing, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing were done to confirm all the system functionalities are worked as expected and to confirm all the non-functional requirements of the client are met as expected. As the final result of this project, a successful system was developed which fulfills the client's requirement.
