Employee Attendance Management System

SYNOPSIS

In this project, attendance maintenance is the main concept to generate report and produce leave report form. In this world of growing technologies everything has been computerized. With large number of work opportunities the Human workforce has increased. Thus there is a need of a system which can handle the data of such a large number of Employees in an organization. This project simplifies the task of maintain records because of its user friendly nature. The “EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” has been developed to override the problems prevailing in the practicing manual system. This software is supported to eliminate and in some cases reduce the hardships faced by this existing system. Moreover this system is designed for the particular need of the company to carry out operations in a smooth and effective manner. The application is reduced as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the data. It also provides error message while entering invalid data. No formal knowledge is needed for the user to use this system. Thus by this all it proves it is user-friendly. This project will allow admin to add new employees after proper authentication. Admin can also add new record and posts. It can allocate employees to different departments at different posts. Database should store all personal details of employees such as date of birth full name etc. and his educational background, work experience, skill sets, current and past details in different tables with proper relations. This system enables employees to perform their own profile. It enables the automation of work flow notifications and leave request. Work flow notification from administrator are stored in the backend and notified to employee, once employee log in to the system. Leave request made by the employee is placed for administrator approval, the administrator module checks up with the leave availability and approves or rejects the request.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT Every organization, whether big or small, has human resource challenges to overcome. Every organization has different employee attendance management needs; therefore we design exclusive employee management systems that are adapted to your managerial requirements. This is designed to assist in strategic planning, and will help you ensure that your organization is equipped with the right level of human resources for your future goals. Also, for those busy executive who are always on the go, our systems come with remote access features, which will allow you to manage your workforce anytime, at all times. These systems will ultimately allow you to better manage resources. One of the main features in employee management system is time tracking for employees. Effective time tracking mechanism saves both time and money for the organization. This system will reduce the complexity of employee management. By using this system we can easily maintain all the records. It will reduce searching time. It can be easily handled by the person who has elementary knowledge of computer because it provides a user friendly environment. Its hardware and software configuration is not very costly that means developed to override the problems prevailing in the practicing manual system. This project will allow admin to add new employees after proper authentication mainly propose and attendance maintenance report. Admin can also add new record and posts. User can easily view there Leave reports using separate user ID and password. It can allocate employees to switch different departments at different posts and maintain report about the employee. But employee can able to view only the report form not able to update or Edit the records in the database. Database should store all personal details of employees such as date of birth full name etc. and his educational background, work experience, skill sets, current and past details in different tables with proper relations.

Admin can edit employee details and store the details in the database but in the case of details that can be provided by the employee only. The main concept is to maintain the attendance report of the employee. In that case the employee daily information should be monitored and take a list of information to update the records in the database for user details and also for performance rating of the employee is in future records. Employee Attendance Management System is a simple attendance that specifically developed for small or medium companies employees have. The purpose is to make sure that the employees are punctual and do their jobs on time. With this system, the administrator may save their time to observe the employees. This system provides easy to use and reliable employee attendance tracking and reporting. It allows employee to clock in and clock out using the PC keyboard with the clock program. The employee also can apply leave and check leave through the system. The system will monitor the employees working time. Besides, the system can store the records for employees such as their personal details information. The system will calculate the amount of employees who works over time, coming late and apply leave for certain purpose. Based on the calculation of the above categories, the system is able to generate various reports such as attendance record, monthly attendance record and employee attendance analysis. Currently, there is no proper system to monitor the employee’s attendance at some industry companies. Besides, the company still uses the paper-based system to keep tracks the records of the employees. As a solution, the system will be developed to overcome the problems that stated above and provide an effective way to monitor the employee attendance. This system will provide a user-friendly interface to make the system easy to use.

SYSTEM STUDY

2. INTRODUCTION
The project has shown the economic feasibility by the study of the fact that by using this software the increased number of the consumers can be given service effectively and efficiently and can save a lot time and saving time means saving money. The cost and benefit analysis has shown that cost that have incurred in developing the project is less than the benefits that the project is going to provide once it is developed, so this project has passed the feasibility test. The working staff members are also interested in this project, as it will help them to do work with ease and efficiently without complexity, so they supported the development of this project with full enthusiasm. This shows the behavioral feasibility of the project. Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system (Hardware, Software etc) and to what extent it supports the existing system. As the existing system computer system is viable so there is no matter of technical feasibility that is the system is technically feasible. It is the determination of whether a proposed project can be implemented fully within stipulated time frame. The project was decided to be done in three months and was thought to be feasible enough.

2.1.

EXISTING SYSTEM

The company uses an application which is a single user system to find the employee information. • The important and the most significant drawback is that the system is done by feeding in excel. There is no proper application is exist. There are errors due to carelessness or oversight that may result in loss to the data and as to the organization. For an organization, time is very important factor . • The employee information are stored in the application which is like a excel sheet. This makes it impossible to search for company information in such a long table manually and to add a new query if the searched query is not available.

2.2.

DRAWBACKS • • • • • In existing system there are not complete details about the leave report of the employee. Its main disadvantage is updating is not available. Attendance information is not updated properly. You can’t manipulate data. Data retrieved is very difficult , Time conception and Inefficient.

2.3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is designed to eliminate all the drawbacks of the existing system. The system is part of a large Human Resource Management System Application and shall be responsible for maintaining information about employees, positions, attendance, administration. Some major advantage of the proposed system: • • • • • • • • • It’s online, so that information is available anytime. High integrity and security. Ability to incorporate newly available data. It is user friendly. Speed and accuracy is increased. Fully automated. Security is associated with user authentication. Duplication of information is curbed. Admin can easily get employee attendance details.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION Visual Basic 6.0 Introduction:
VISUAL BASIC is a high level programming language which evolved from the earlier DOS version called BASIC. BASIC means Beginners' All-purposeSymbolic Instruction Code. It is a very easy programming language to learn. The code looks a lot like English Language. Different software companies produced different versions of BASIC, such as Microsoft QBASIC, QUICKBASIC, GWBASIC, and IBM BASICA and so on. However, people prefer to use Microsoft Visual Basic today, as it is a well developed programming language and supporting resources are available everywhere. Now, there are many versions of VB exist in the market, the most popular one and still widely used by many VB programmers is none other than Visual Basic 6. We also have VB.net, VB2005, VB2008 and the latest VB2010. Both Vb2008 and VB2010 are fully object oriented programming (OOP) language. VISUAL BASIC is a VISUAL and events driven Programming Language. These are the main divergence from the old BASIC. In BASIC, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed sequentially. In VB, programming is done in a graphical environment. In the old BASIC, you have to write program code for each graphical object you wish to display it on screen, including its position and its color. However, In VB , you just need to drag and drop any graphical object anywhere on the form, and you can change its color any time using the properties windows. On the other hand, because the user may click on a certain object randomly, so each object has to be programmed independently to be able to response to those actions (events). Therefore, a VB Program is made up of many subprograms, each has its own program code, and each can be executed independently and at the same time each can be linked together in one way or another. With VB 6, you can create any program depending on your objective. For example, if you are a college or university lecturer, you can create educational programs to teach business, economics, engineering, computer science, accountancy , financial management, information system and more to make teaching more effective and interesting. If you are in business, you

can also create business programs such as inventory management system , point-of-sale system, payroll system, financial program as well as accounting program to help manage your business and increase productivity. For those of you who like games and working as games programmer, you can create those programs as well. Indeed, there is no limit to what program you can create ! There are many such programs in this tutorial, so you must spend more time on the tutorial in order to learn how to create those programs.

The Visual Basic 6 Integrated Development Environment
Before you can program in VB 6, you need to install Visual Basic 6 in your computer. On start up, You can choose to either start a new project, open an existing project or select a list of recently opened programs. A project is a collection of files that make up your application. There are various types of applications that we could create, however, we shall concentrate on creating Standard EXE programs (EXE means executable program). Now, click on the Standard EXE icon to go into the actual Visual Basic 6 programming environment.

MS ACCESS:
In this lab, we will be implementing the theories on database design that we learned in class with a commercial Relational Database Management System called Microsoft Access (MSA). If you have a laptop, we encourage you to install MSA on your computer and bring it to the lab sessions, since we don’t have enough computers to accommodate every student individually. If you do not have a copy of MSA on your home PC, you can launch it on any of the lab machines by selecting Start  All Programs  Microsoft Office  Microsoft Office Access 2007. To use the lab machines, you will need to set up an account with the IEOR department; please see Jay Sparks on the fourth floor for details on this procedure. Most of the information provided in this lab can be accessed in greater detail under Microsoft Access’s extensive help files. All the information provided in this tutorial is based on MS Access 2007 unless otherwise specified. If you have a different version installed on your machine, you should expect to see some minor differences between what is described here and what you observe on your screen

Uses In addition to using its own database storage file, Microsoft Access also may be used as the 'front-end' with other products as the 'back-end' tables, such as Microsoft SQL Server and non-Microsoft products such as Oracle and Sybase. Multiple backend sources can be used by a Microsoft Access Jet Database (accdb and mdb formats). Similarly, some applications such as Visual Basic, ASP.NET, or Visual Studio .NET will use the Microsoft Access database format for its tables and queries. Microsoft Access may also be part of a more complex solution, where it may be integrated with other technologies such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and ActiveX Controls. Access tables support a variety of standard field types, indices, and referential integrity including cascading updates and deletes. Access also includes a query interface, forms to display and enter data, and reports for printing. The underlying Jet database, which contains these objects, is multiuser-aware and handles record-locking. Repetitive tasks can be automated through macros with point-and-click options. It is also easy to place a database on a network and have multiple users share and update data without overwriting each other's work. Data is locked at the record level which is significantly different from Excel which locks the entire spreadsheet. There are template databases within the program and for download from their website. These options are available upon starting Access and allow users to enhance a database with predefined tables, queries, forms, reports, and macros. Database templates support VBA code but Microsoft's templates do not include VBA code. Programmers can create solutions using the programming language Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is similar to Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) and used throughout the Microsoft Office programs such as Excel, Word, Outlook and PowerPoint. Most VB6 code, including the use of Windows API calls, can be used in VBA. Power users and developers can extend basic user solutions to a professional solution with advanced automation, data validation, error trapping, and multi-user support.

FEASIBILITY REPORT

3.

FEASIBILITY Preliminary investigation examine project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be

useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All system is feasible if they are unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation: • • • Technical Feasibility Operational Feasibility Economical Feasibility

3.1.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation

includes the following: • • • • • Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested? Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system? Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users? Can the system be upgraded if developed? Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security? Earlier no system existed to cater to the needs of ‘Secure Infrastructure Implementation System’. The current system developed is technically feasible. It is a web based user interface for audit workflow at NIC-CSD. Thus it provides an easy access to the users. The database’s purpose is to create, establish and maintain a workflow among various entities in order to facilitate all concerned users in their various capacities or roles. Permission to the users would be granted based on the roles specified. Therefore, it provides the technical guarantee of accuracy, reliability and security. The software and hard requirements for the development of this project are not many and are already available inhouse at NIC or are available as free as open source. The work for the project is done with the current equipment and existing software technology. Necessary bandwidth exists for providing a fast feedback to the users irrespective of the number of users using the system.

3.2.

OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information

system. That will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: • • • Is there sufficient support for the management from the users? Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented? Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits? This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits. The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.

3.3.

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a

good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs. The system is economically feasible. It does not require any addition hardware or software. Since the interface for this system is developed using the existing resources and technologies available at NIC, There is nominal expenditure and economical feasibility for certain.

LOGICAL DESIGN

5.1.

FILE DESIGN

5.1.1. OUTPUT DESIGN
Outputs from computer systems are required primarily to communicate the results of processing to users. They are also used to provide a permanent copy of the results for later consultation. The various types of outputs in general are: • • • • • External Outputs, whose destination is outside the organization. Internal Outputs whose destination is within organization. User’s main interface with the computer. Operational outputs whose use is purely within the computer department. Interface outputs, which involve the user in communicating directly.

5.1.2. Output Definition
The outputs should be defined in terms of the following points:        Type of the output Content of the output Format of the output Location of the output Frequency of the output Volume of the output Sequence of the output It is not always desirable to print or display data as it is held on a computer. It should be decided as which form of the output is the most suitable. For Example  Will decimal points need to be inserted.  Should leading zeros be suppressed.

5.1.3. Output Media:
In the next stage it is to be decided that which medium is the most appropriate for the output. The main considerations when deciding about the output media are: • • • • • The suitability for the device to the particular application. The need for a hard copy. The response time required. The location of the users The software and hardware available.

Keeping in view the above description the project is to have outputs mainly coming under the category of internal outputs. The main outputs desired according to the requirement specification are: The outputs were needed to be generated as a hot copy and as well as queries to be viewed on the screen. Keeping in view these outputs, the format for the output is taken from the outputs, which are currently being obtained after manual processing. The standard printer is to be used as output media for hard copies.

5.1.4. Input Design
Input design is a part of overall system design. The main objective during the input design is as given below: • • • To produce a cost-effective method of input. To achieve the highest possible level of accuracy. To ensure that the input is acceptable and understood by the user.

5.1.5. Input Stages:
The main input stages can be listed as below: • • • • Data recording Data transcription. Data conversion Data verification

• • • •

Data control Data transmission Data validation Data correction

5.1.6. Input Types:
It is necessary to determine the various types of inputs. Inputs can be categorized as follows: • • • • External inputs, which are prime inputs for the system. Internal inputs, which are user communications with the system. Operational, which are computer department’s communications to the system? Interactive, which are inputs entered during a dialogue.

5.1.7. Input Media:
At this stage choice has to be made about the input media. To conclude about the input media consideration has to be given to; • • • • • • • • • • • Type of input Flexibility of format Speed Accuracy Verification methods Rejection rates Ease of correction Storage and handling requirements Security Easy to use Portability Keeping in view the above description of the input types and input media, it can be said that most of the inputs are of the form of internal and interactive. As Input data is to be the directly keyed in by the user, the keyboard can be considered to be the most suitable input device.

5.1.8. Error Avoidance
At this stage care is to be taken to ensure that input data remains accurate form the stage at which it is recorded up to the stage in which the data is accepted by the system. This can be achieved only by means of careful control each time the data is handled.

5.1.9. Error Detection
Even though every effort is make to avoid the occurrence of errors, still a small proportion of errors is always likely to occur, these types of errors can be discovered by using validations to check the input data.

5.1.10.

Data Validation

Procedures are designed to detect errors in data at a lower level of detail. Data validations have been included in the system in almost every area where there is a possibility for the user to commit errors. The system will not accept invalid data. Whenever an invalid data is keyed in, the system immediately prompts the user and the user has to again key in the data and the system will accept the data only if the data is correct. Validations have been included where necessary. The system is designed to be a user friendly one. In other words the system has been designed to communicate effectively with the user. The system has been designed with popup menus.

5.1.11.
user interface:

User Interface Design

It is essential to consult the system users and discuss their needs while designing the

5.1.12.
1.

User Interface Systems Can Be Broadly Classified As:
User initiated interface the user is in charge, controlling the progress of the

user/computer dialogue. In the computer-initiated interface, the computer selects the next stage in the interaction. 2. Computer initiated interfaces

In the computer initiated interfaces the computer guides the progress of the user/computer dialogue. Information is displayed and the user response of the computer takes action or displays further information.

5.1.13.

User Initiated Interfaces

User initiated interfaces fall into tow approximate classes: 1. Command driven interfaces: In this type of interface the user inputs commands or queries which are interpreted by the computer. 2. Forms oriented interface: The user calls up an image of the form to his/her screen and fills in the form. The forms oriented interface is chosen because it is the best choice.

5.1.14.

Computer-Initiated Interfaces

The following computer – initiated interfaces were used: 1. The menu system for the user is presented with a list of alternatives and the user chooses one; of alternatives. 2. Questions – answer type dialog system where the computer asks question and takes action based on the basis of the users reply. Right from the start the system is going to be menu driven, the opening menu displays the available options. Choosing one option gives another popup menu with more options. In this way every option leads the users to data entry form where the user can key in the data.

5.1.15.

Error Message Design:

The design of error messages is an important part of the user interface design. As user is bound to commit some errors or other while designing a system the system should be designed to be helpful by providing the user with information regarding the error he/she has committed. This application must be able to produce output at different modules for different inputs.

5.2.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

Performance is measured in terms of the output provided by the application. Requirement specification plays an important part in the analysis of a system. Only when the requirement specifications are properly given, it is possible to design a system, which will fit into required environment. It rests largely in the part of the users of the existing system to give the requirement specifications because they are the people who finally use the system. This is because the requirements have to be known during the initial stages so that the system can be designed according to those requirements. It is very difficult to change the system once it has been designed and on the other hand designing a system, which does not cater to the requirements of the user, is of no use. The requirement specification for any system can be broadly stated as given below: • • • The system should be able to interface with the existing system The system should be accurate The system should be better than the existing system The existing system is completely dependent on the user to perform all the duties.

SYSTEM DESIGN

6. INTRODUCTION
Software design sits at the technical kernel of the software engineering process and is applied regardless of the development paradigm and area of application. Design is the first step in the development phase for any engineered product or system. The designer’s goal is to produce a model or representation of an entity that will later be built. Beginning, once system requirement have been specified and analyzed, system design is the first of the three technical activities -design, code and test that is required to build and verify software. The importance can be stated with a single word “Quality”. Design is the place where quality is fostered in software development. Design provides us with representations of software that can assess for quality. Design is the only way that we can accurately translate a customer’s view into a finished software product or system. Software design serves as a foundation for all the software engineering steps that follow. Without a strong design we risk building an unstable system – one that will be difficult to test, one whose quality cannot be assessed until the last stage. During design, progressive refinement of data structure, program structure, and procedural details are developed reviewed and documented. System design can be viewed from either technical or project management perspective. From the technical point of view, design is comprised of four activities – architectural design, data structure design, interface design and procedural design.

7. NORMALIZATION
Database designed based on the E-R model may have some amount of inconsistency, ambiguity and redundancy. To resolve these issues we have to do some amount of refinement is required. This refinement process is called as Normalization.

7.1.

Process of Normalization

As mentioned previously, normalization technique is based on strong mathematical foundation. Basically in software industry four normal forms are used to design the database. Before getting to know the normalization techniques in detail, let us define a few building blocks which are used to define normal forms.

7.1.1. Determinant
Attribute X can be defined as determinant if it uniquely defines the attribute value Y in a given relationship or entity. To qualify as determinant attribute need NOT be a key attribute. Usually dependency of an attribute is represented as X  Y, which means attribute X decides attribute Y.

Example: In RESULT relation, Empno. attribute may decide t he Empsalary attribute. This is represented as Empno.  Employee and read as Empno. decides Employee. In the RESULT relation, Empno. attribute is not a key attribute. Hence it can be concluded that key attributes are determinants but not all the determinants are key attributes.

7.1.2. Functional Dependency
Consider the following Relation REPORT (Employee#, DEPT#, DEPTName, IName, Workplace#, Empno., Empsalary) Where: · Employee# - Employee Number · DEPT# - DEPT Number · DEPTName - DEPT Name · IName - Name of the instructor who delivered the DEPT · Workplace# - Workplace number which is assigned to respective instructor · Empno. - Scored in DEPT DEPT# by Employee Employee# · Empsalary - Obtained by Employee Employee# in DEPT DEPT# Employee# DEPT# together (called composite attribute) defines EXACTLY ONE value of Empno.. This can be symbolically represented as Employee# DEPT#  Empno. This type of dependency is called as functional dependency. In above example Empno. is functionally dependent on Employee# DEPT#. Other functional dependencies in above examples are: · DEPT#  DEPTName, · DEPT#  IName (Assuming one DEPT is taught by one and only one instructor) · IName  Workplace# (Assuming each instructor has his/ her own and non-shared Workplace) · Empno.  Empsalary. Formally we can define functional dependency as: In a given relation R, X and Y are attributes. Attribute Y is functionally dependent on attribute X if each value of X determines EXACTLY ONE value of Y. This is represented as: XY However X may be composite in nature.

7.1.3. Full Functional Dependency
In above example, Empno. is fully functionally dependent on Employee# DEPT# and not on sub set of Employee# DEPT#. This means Empno. cannot be determined either by Employee# OR DEPT# alone. It can be determined only using Employee# AND DEPT# together. Hence Empno. is fully functionally dependent on Employee# DEPT#. DEPT Name is not fully functionally dependent on Employee# DEPT# because one of the subset DEPT# determines the DEPT Name and Employee# does not have any role in deciding DEPT Name. Hence DEPT Name is not fully functionally dependent on Employee# DEPT#.

Full Functional Dependency Formal definition of full functional dependency is: In a given relation R, X and Y are attributes. Y is fully functionally dependent on attribute X only if it is not functionally dependent on sub-set of X. However X may be composite in nature.

7.1.4. Partial Dependency
In the above relationship DEPT Name, IName, Workplace# are partially dependent on composite attributes Employee# DEPT# because DEPT# alone defines the DEPT Name, IName, Workplace#.

Partial Dependency Formal definition of partial dependency is: In a given relation R, X and Y are attributes. Attribute Y is partially dependent on the attribute X only if it is dependent on subset of attribute X. However X may be composite in nature.

7.1.5. Transitive Dependency
In above example, Workplace# depends on IName and in turn IName depends on DEPT#. Hence Workplace# transitively depends on DEPT#.

Transitive Dependency Similarly Empsalary depends on Empno, in turn Empno. Depends on Employee# DEPT# hence Empsalary fully transitively depends on Employee# DEPT#.

7.1.6. Key attributes
In a given relationship R, if the attribute X uniquely defines all other attributes, then the attribute X is a Key attribute which is nothing but the candidate key.

7.1.7. Non key attributes
In a given relationship R, all the attributes which are not key attributes are considered as nonkey attributes.

7.2.


Types of Normal Forms
A relation is in first normal form if it meets the definition of a relation: Each attribute (column) value must be a single value only. All values for a given attribute (column) must be of the same type. Each attribute (column) name must be unique. The order of attributes (columns) is insignificant No two tuples (rows) in a relation can be identical. The order of the tuples (rows) is insignificant.

7.2.1. First Normal Form (1NF)
• • • • • •

Emp.ID 100 101 102 103 104

Emp.Name A B C D E

DEPT CSE ECE CSE MECH EEE

Position Manager Tech Lead Software Tech Tech Associate Foremen

Emp.Salary Per annum 15 L 9L 8L 10 L 4L

7.2.2. Second Normal Form (2NF)


A relation is in second normal form (2NF) if all of its non-key attributes are dependent on the entire key. Relations that have a single attribute for a key are automatically in 2NF. This is one reason why we often use artificial identifiers as keys.

• •

Emp.ID 100 101 102 103 104

Emp.Name A B C D E

DEPT CSE ECE CSE MECH EEE

Position Manager Tech Lead Software Tech Tech Associate Foremen

Emp.Salary per annum 15 L 9L 8L 10 L 4L

7.2.3. Third Normal Form (3NF)


A relation is in third normal form (3NF) if it is in second normal form and it contains no transitive dependencies. Consider relation R containing attributes A, B and C. R(A, B, C) If A  B and B  C then A  C Transitive Dependency: Three attributes with the above dependencies.

SYSTEM TESTING

This phase determine the error in the project. If there is any error then it must be removed before delivery of the project. For determining errors various types of test action are performed.

Unit Testing
Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design – the module. Using the detail design description as a guide, important control paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. The relative complexity of tests and the errors detected as a result is limited by the constrained scope established for unit testing. The unit test is always white box oriented, and the step can be conducted in parallel for multiple modules. Unit testing is normally considered an adjunct to the coding step. After source level code has been developed, reviewed, and verified for correct syntax, unit test case design begins. A review of design information provides guidance for establishing test cases that are likely to uncover errors. Each test case should be coupled with a asset of expected results. Because a module is not a stand-alone program, driver and/or stub software must be developed for each unit test. In most applications a driver is nothing more than a main program that accepts test case data passes such data to the module(to be tested), and prints the relevant results. Stubs serve to replace modules that are subordinate (called by) the module to be tested. Stub or “dummy subprogram” users the subordinate module’s interface, may do minimal data manipulation, prints verification of entry and returns. Drivers and stubs represent overhead. That is, both are software that must be written but tat is not delivered with the final software product. If drivers and stubs are kept simple, actual overhead is relatively low. Unfortunately, many modules cannot be adequately unit tested with “simple” overhead software. In such cases, complete testing can be postponed until the integration test step. Unit testing is simplified when a module with high cohesion is designed. When only one function is addressed by a module, the number of test cases is reduced and errors can be more easily predicted and uncovered.

System Testing
Software is only one element of a larger computer based system. Ultimately, software is incorporated with other system elements (e.g. new hardware, information), and a series of system integration and validation tests are conducted. Steps taken during software design and testing can greatly improve the probability of successful software integration in the larger system. A classics system testing problem is “finger pointing”. This occurs when a defect is uncovered, and one system element developer blames another for the problem. Rather that including in such nonsense, the software engineer should anticipate potential interfacing problems and (1) design error handling paths that test all information coming from other elements of the system.(2) conduct a series of tests that simulate bad data or other potential errors at the software interface; (3) record the results or tests to use as “evidence” if finger pointing does occur (4) participate in the planning and design of system test to ensure that software is adequately tested. There are many types of system tests, which are worthwhile for software-based systems, as detailed hereunder: • • • • Recovery testing is a system test that forces the software to fail in a variety of ways that verifies that recovery is properly performed. Security testing attempts to verify that protection mechanisms built into a system will protect it from improper penetration Stress tests are designed to confront programs with abnormal situations. Performance testing is designed to test the run-time performance of software within the context of an integrated system.

Integration Testing: A neophyte in the software world might ask a seemingly legitimate question once all modules have been unit-tested. If they all work individually, why do you doubt that they’ll work when we put tem together? The problem, of course, is putting them together – interfacing. Date can be lost across an interface; one module can have an inadvertent, adverse effect on anther, sub functions, when combined, may not produce the desired

major function; individually acceptable imprecision may be magnified to unacceptable levels; global data structures can present problems. Sadly, the list goes on and on. Integration testing is a systematic technique for construction the program structure while at the same time conduction test to uncover errors associated with interfacing. The objective is to take unit tested modules and build a program structure that has been dictated by design. There is often a tendency to attempt non-incremental integration; that is, to construct the program using a big bang approach. All modules are combined in advance. The entire program is tested as a whole. And chaos usually results! A set of errors are encountered. Correction is difficult because the isolation of causes is complicated by the vast expanse of the entire program. Once these errors are corrected, new ones appear and the process continues in a seemingly endless loop. Incremental integration is the antithesis of the “big bang” approach. The program is constructed and tested is small segments, where errors are easier to isolate and correct; interfaces are more likely to be tested completely, and a systematic test approach may be applied. Integration testing can be categorized into two types, namely top-down integration or bottom-up integration. Top-down integration is an incremental approach to the construction of program structure. Modules are integrated by moving downward through the control hierarchy, beginning with the main control module. Modules subordinate to the main control module are incorporated into the structure in either a depth-first or breadth-first manner. The bottom-up integration testing as its name implies, begins construction and testing with atomic modules. Because modules are integrated for the bottom up processing required for modules subordinate to given level is always available and the need for stubs is eliminated. The selection of an integration strategy depends upon software characteristic and, sometime project schedule. In general, a combined approach that uses the top-down strategy for the upper levels of the program structure, coupled with a bottom-up strategy for the subordinate levels, may be the best compromise.

SYSTEM SECURITY

10. INTRODUCTION
The protection of computer based resources that includes hardware, software, data, procedures and people against unauthorized use or natural Disaster is known as System Security. System Security can be divided into four related issues: • • • • Security Integrity Privacy Confidentiality

SYSTEM SECURITY refers to the technical innovations and procedures applied to the hardware and operation systems to protect against deliberate or accidental damage from a defined threat. DATA SECURITY is the protection of data from loss, disclosure, modification and destruction. SYSTEM INTEGRITY refers to the power functioning of hardware and programs, appropriate physical security and safety against external threats such as eavesdropping and wiretapping. PRIVACY defines the rights of the user or organizations to determine what information they are willing to share with or accept from others and how the organization can be protected against unwelcome, unfair or excessive dissemination of information about it. CONFIDENTIALITY is a special status given to sensitive information in a database to minimize the possible invasion of privacy. It is an attribute of information that characterizes its need for protection.

SECURITY SOFTWARE
System security refers to various validations on data in form of checks and controls to avoid the system from failing. It is always important to ensure that only valid data is entered and only valid operations are performed on the system. The system employees two types of checks and controls:

CLIENT SIDE VALIDATION
Various client side validations are used to ensure on the client side that only valid data is entered. Client side validation saves server time and load to handle invalid data. Some checks imposed are: • VBScript in used to ensure those required fields are filled with suitable data only. Maximum lengths of the fields of the forms are appropriately defined. Forms cannot be submitted without filling up the mandatory data so that manual mistakes of submitting empty fields that are mandatory can be sorted out at the client side to save the server time and load. Tab-indexes are set according to the need and taking into account the ease of user while working with the system.





SERVER SIDE VALIDATION
Some checks cannot be applied at client side. Server side checks are necessary to save the system from failing and intimating the user that some invalid operation has been performed or the performed operation is restricted. Some of the server side checks imposed is: •

Server side constraint has been imposed to check for the validity of primary key and foreign key. A primary key value cannot be duplicated. Any attempt to duplicate the primary value results into a message intimating the user about those values through the forms using foreign key can be updated only of the existing foreign key values. User is intimating through appropriate messages about the successful operations or exceptions occurring at server side.





Various Access Control Mechanisms have been built so that one user may not agitate upon another. Access permissions to various types of users are controlled according to the organizational structure. Only permitted users can log on to the system and can have access according to their category. User- name, passwords and permissions are controlled the server side. Using server side validation, constraints on several restricted operations are imposed.



FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
As a future work, some additional stuff could be implemented and integrated into the application code making it much more reliable and flexible; especially what concerns a payroll module, for instance. Apparently, the role of such systems is basic and essential within each company that wants to keep a really good control and record concerning its personnel data, functionality and performance on all levels in its structure. Employee management system will be enhanced up to all departments of Group. Integrating Leave management and Attendance system. As organization is multinational make application internet base.

CONCLUSION
In this report, an information systems development has been presented. It was emphasized on the basic steps, consequently taken during the project’s development course as a particular attention was turned to the basic operative functions performed upon the data into the database. The report’s content comprises the whole task solution, starting from the programming environments have been selected, going through the database, the application’s analyze and construction, and finishing with the code-implementation and test-samples. Every organization, in nowadays, has the necessity of managing its staff on a really good level as the staff has definitely the greatest merit of building up a company as such as it is. The well managed staff means giving the appropriate financial awareness and all kind of benefits as such as they have been deserved. That’s why the development of such systems is not just a programming business – a lot of people are ordinarily involved in such projects and one of the basic requirements is the reliability of the system, especially what concerns the storage of data and all of the operations that will be performed upon it.
