1.1 Introduction:

A nation's most important and precious resource is its children who constitute its hope for

continued achievement and productivity. There is no more crucial period of life than the age upto

six years. It is during this period that the child is most malleable and it is then that man y barriers

to normal development are erected. All educators have stressed the importance of the home in

the early education of the child. The quality and nature of the parental nurturance that a child

receives will profoundly influence his future development. But only few homes provide the right

type of environment to the growing child. Many children are denied the opportunities for healthy

all round development. In learning to adjust to the world in which the child is growing up, he

develops certain kinds of behaviors which are annoying or embarrassing to the adults with whom

he comes in contact. Adults frequently label such behaviors as problem behaviors and try to

correct them. This usually makes the situation worse. What adults call problem behavior may be

perfectly normal for the child at his age and level of development. Through ignorance of what is

socially acceptable behavior, the child tries to express his natural impulses in ways that give him

satisfaction but which are not socially acceptable. So these behaviors make life difficult and

unsatisfactory for parents as well as the child.

This project is developed to automate the process of managing Student documents. In this project

Parents are given the entire Information about their childrens activities. In this system each

project has individual phase work. Each phase work has different information about their

children. Different information is like, Activities, Attendance, Fees, Test Marks, Student

Information, Parent Information, Different Courses, Admin Rating for different Semesters.

Most of the parents keep their children far away from them to give higher education. In

this situation their children may spoil their life for their independence, because they are far fromtheir parents or some other reasons, as well as the parents cannot have continuous touch with

their children.

Hence this system provides the information about the students who are away from their parents

over the mobile phone and also through the internet.

3.1 Tools & Technologies

ASP.NET and MS-Access have been used to develop this software which is a basically a

web based project.

3.2 Overview of .NET Framework

Microsoft has a time-honored reputation for creating innovative technologies and wrapping them

in buzzwords that confuse everyone. Microsoft now has a whole new technology called .NET.. The .NET

Framework is not a single applicationits actually a collection of technologies bundled into one

marketing term. The .NET Framework includes languages such as C# and VB .NET, an engine for

hosting programmable web pages and web services (ASP.NET), a model for interacting with databases

(ADO.NET), and a class library stocked with tools for everything from writing files to reading XML.

DOT NET framework is designed to deploy application across the enterprise and to scale to

nearly size needed. Among the modern programming environments,.NET framework plays a pivotal role.

In the field of development, it can apply in to multiple purposes very easily. Like any other product of

Microsoft,.NET framework is also very easy to use. We can easily develop the application and enhance it

using .NET technologies.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

3.3 Introduction to C#

C#,(pronounced as C Sharp) the new language introduced in the .NET Framework, is derived from C++.

However, C# is a modern, objected-oriented type-safe language C# represents the next step in the

ongoing revolution of programming languages.

It is created by Microsoft to support development of its. NET Framework, C# leverages time-

tested features with cutting-edge innovations. It provides a highly usable, efficient way to write

programs for the modern computing environment, which includes windows, the Internets,

components, and so on. In the process C# redefined the programming landscape.

C# is a modern, object oriented language that enables programmers to quickly build a wide range

of applications for the new Microsoft .NET platform, which provides tools and services that fully

exploit both computing and communications. The C# language is an evolution of C and C++.

3.3.1 Platform independence

One of the most compelling reasons to move to C# is its platform independence. C# runs on

major hardware and software platforms.

3.3.2 Object Orientation

C# is a true object oriented language. It does not merely provide the capability to

implement object oriented principles, it enforces this principles.

3.3.3 Security

C# considers security as part of its language. C# language compiler, interpreter and run

time environment were each developed in security in mind.

3.3.4 Reliability

Security and Reliability go in hand in hand. Security measures cannot be implemented

with any degree of assurance without a reliable framework for programming execution. . NET

framework provides multilevel of reliability measures, beginning with C# itself.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

10/44


3.3.5 Simplicity

The C# was designed to be a simple language to learn, building on the syntax and many

features of C++. However in order to promote security, reliability and simplicity C# has left out

those elements of C and C++ that contribute to errors and program complexity.

3.3.6 Language features

The C# provides many language features tat make it preferable to C or C++ for modern

software development. On the top of this list is C# intrinsic support for multithreading which is

lacking in both C and C++.

3.4Introduction to ASP.NET

The original definition of ASP.NET, right at the start of the chapter, portrayed ASP.Net as apowerful and flexible technology for creating dynamic web pages, and this holds true. However

as you know it isnt the only way to develop WebPages, so lets refine our definition a little so it

reads as follows.

ASP.NET is a powerful and flexible server side technology for creating dynamic web pages.

Secondly, ASP.Net is one of a set of technology that comprises the dot net framework. For now,

you can now think of it as a giant tool kit for creating all sort of applications and in particular, for

creating applications on the web. When you install ASP.Net you will install .Net framework at

the same time. You will use bits and pieces of .Net framework.

3.5 Features:

ASP.NET combines unprecedented developer productivity with performance reliability and

development.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

1. Developer Productivity:

Easy programming

Flexible language option

Great tool

Rich class framework

2. Improved Performance and scalability

Compiled execution,

Rich output caching

3. Enhanced Reliability:

Avoids memory leak,

Avoids deadlock Crash protection.

4. Easy Deployment

Dynamic update of application.

3.6 Creating ASP.NET Web Applications

ASP.NET is a unified Web development platform that provides the services necessary for

you to build enterprise-class Web applications. While ASP.NET is largely syntax compatible

with Active Server Pages (ASP), it provides a new programming model and infrastructure that

allow you to create a powerful new class of applications. ASP.NET is part of the .NET

Framework and allows you to take full advantage of the features of the common language

runtime, such as type safety, inheritance, language interoperability, and versioning.

Web Forms allow us to build powerful forms-based Web pages. When building these pages, you can use

ASP.NET server controls to create common UI elements, and program them for common tasks. These

controls allow you to rapidly build a Web Form out of reusable built-in or custom components,

simplifying the code of a page.

3.7 Internet Information Server [IIS]


8/6/2019 Report BIP

12/44


IIS server includes a broad range of administrative features for managing Web sites and your

Web server. With programmatic features like ASP, ASP.NET, you can create and deploy

scalable, flexible Web applications.

3.8 ADO.NET

Accessing a database in an Internet application is a completely different scenario than

accessing a database in a typical desktop or client/server program.

ADO.NET is the Microsofts latest data access model. ADO.NET allows you to interact

with relational databases and other data sources. Quite simply, ADO.NET is the technology that

ASP.NET applications use to communicate with a database, whether they need to add a new

customer record, log a purchase, or display a product catalog.

ADO.NET has a few characteristics that make it different from previous data access technologies such as:

3.9 Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access is a computer database application used to create and manage computer-based

databases on desktop computers and/or on a network. Microsoft Access can be used for personal

information management (PIM), in a small business to organize and manage all data, or in an enterprise to

communicate with servers.

Large corporate computing shops have been using complex expensive database products for years. These

full featured heavily optimized software systems are the only for a big organization to manage its

volumes of corporate information. A database is simply put, a collection of data. MS Access is not a

database, its a computer software that enables the user to create maintain and manage electronic

databases. This category of softwares is known as database system. A DBMS acts as a broker between

the physical database and the users of the database. The database is an organized collection of data. A

DBMS for a relational system is often called a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Where does MS Access fit into all of this? We need some way to interact with the database we

need to define tables and retrieve, add, update or delete data. MS Access is used to express database


8/6/2019 Report BIP

13/44


operations for relational data form. MS Access is the industry standard language that most database

programmers speak and it is used by most RDBMS packages.

The area in which databases have experienced the most explosive growth is in web application

development. as the demand for more complex and robust web applications grows , so does the need for

databases. A database backend can support many critical functions on the web. Virtually any web content

can be driven by a database. Heres how a web page interacts with a database. The database in your web

server or another machine that your server can talk to. You put a form on the web page that the user fills

in with a query or data to submit when the forms query is sent to your server; it runs a program that you

wrote that extracts data submitted by the user. These programs most often come in the form of ASP.NET

scripts.

3.10 Introduction to the Mobile Functions in ASP.NET:

Adding SMS and Pager capabilities to an application is not a simple matter. It requires

specialized knowledge that might be outside an individual programmer's expertise. Today,

Windows developers rely upon the power, flexibility and reliability of the SMS and Pager

Toolkit by ActiveXperts Software.SMS and Pager Toolkit is an ActiveX/COM component, and

provides SMS and Pager messaging functionality.

With this Toolkit, you can send and receive SMS messages via a:

GSM modem;

GSM phone; SMPP compliant SMSC provider;

HTTP compliant SMSC provider;

Hayes compatible modem.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

14/44


GSM modem (SMS)

This is a fast and reliable device to send and receive SMS messages. We can send plain text

SMS messages, Unicode messages, ringtones and other advanced SMS messages using a GSM

modem. To send SMS messages using a GSM modem, use the GsmOut object. To receive, use

the GsmIn object. The GsmOut object enables sending of SMS messages using a GSM Modem

or a modem-capable GSM phone.

GSMOUT Objects

The GsmOut object communicates through a serial port, USB port, Bluetooth connection,

infrared port or any Windows telephony compliant device. It is recommended to use Windows

'Phone and Modem' devices, for example 'Standard 9600 bps Modem', or 'Nokia 6310i Phone'. If

a Windows telephony device is used, settings are controlled by the Windows telephony driver,

and can be configured through the 'Phone and Modem' settings:

Open the Windows Control Panel from the Start menu;

Double-click on 'Phone and Modem Options' and select the 'Modems' tab;

Select the preferred modem and click on 'Properties'; from here, you can change the

settings.

To select a 'Phone and Modem' device in the toolkit's object, assign an existing telephony name

to the Device property:

Device - the literal Windows telephony device string, for instance: 'Standard 9600 bps

Modem'. Alternatively, we can use a port directly, for instance: 'COM1'. As a result,

device properties must be setup properly before receiving messages:

Device - The actual COM port, formatted as COMx, where x represents the COM port

number;

Device Hw Flow Control - Hardware flow control is used to regulate commands from PC

to device and visa versa; default: On;


8/6/2019 Report BIP

15/44


Device Sw Flow Control - Software flow control is used to regulate data from device to

device; default: Off;

Device Speed - The speed to be used to communicate with the GSM modem or GSM

phone; default: 0 (which means that factory defaults are used for modem

communications);

Device Settings - The number of data bits, parity bits and stop bits; default: 8 data bits, no

parity, 1 stop bit;

Device Init String - The modem initialization string is used to initialize the modem;

default value: '' (which means a generic initialization string will be used).

We can send different types of SMS messages:

Text - Plain text (default)

Flash - Plain text, immediate display

Data - Data message (raw, 8 bits)

Unicode - Unicode message

Unicode Flash - Unicode message, immediate display

WAP Push - Propagate a URL to the remote recipient's WAP phone

WAP Bookmark - Propagate a bookmark to the remote recipient's WAP phone

Indications - Voicemail indications, fax indications, e-mail indications

Ringtones and pictures - RTTTL ringtones and BMP pictures

MMS notification messages - Inform a user that a new MMS message is available for

download

GsmIn Objects:

The GsmIn object enables receiving of SMS messages using a GSM Modem or a modem-

capable GSM phone. The GsmIn object communicates through a serial port, USB port, Bluetooth

connection, infrared port or any Windows telephony compliant device. SMS messages can be

received from different types of storage. The storage location depends on the type of hardware:

GSM phones usually store incoming SMS messages in their internal memory; GSM modems

usually keep SMS messages on the SIM card. It is recommended to read from the default

storage. Some devices (including Wave Com GSM modems) have a special storage for delivery

reports. This enables you to verify the delivery of a message. The 'GsmIn' object supports the

following storage locations:

Default - use default device settings;

SIM Memory - use SIM memory;

Device Memory - use device memory;

Any - use any device memory;

SMS messages are always received in 'batches', i.e. all incoming SMS messages are read from

the message storage and stored in the SMS and Pager Toolkit internal message queue. This

queue is a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue.

To read all messages from the selected storage, use the following function:

Receive - Receive incoming SMS messages and place them in the internal message

queue. Optionally, delete all messages from device storage.

After calling the 'Receive' function, messages can be fetched one-by-one using the

GetFirstMessage/GetNextMessage functions:

GetFirstMessage - Fetch first SMS message from the toolkit's internal message queue.

GetNextMessage - Fetch next SMS message from the toolkit's internal message queue.

After each function call, you should check the result of the function. The result of the last

called function is stored in the 'LastError' property. All other functions will also store

their result in this 'LastError' property.

6. Quality assurance of core modules

6.1 Purpose of Testing

Testing accomplishes a variety of things, but most importantly it measures the quality of the

software we are developing. This view presupposes there are defects in the software waiting to be

discovered and this view is rarely disproved or even disputed.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

38/44


Several factors contribute to the importance of making testing a high priority of any

software development effort. These include:

Reducing the cost of developing the program.

Ensuring that the application behaves exactly as we explain to the user for the vast majority of

programs, unpredictability is the least desirable consequences of using an application.

Reducing the total cost of ownership. By providing software that looks and behaves as shown in

the documentation, the customers require fewer hours of training and less support from product

experts.

Developing customer loyalty and word-of-mouth market share.

6.2 Unit Testing

Unit testing focuses verification on the smallest unit of software design, the software

component or module. Using the component level design description as a guide, important control paths

are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. The unit testing is a white box oriented

testing. First of all the module interface is tested to ensure that the information

properly flows into and out of the program until under test. Then the local data

structure is tested to ensure the data stored temporarily maintains its integrity

during all steps in an execution. Boundary conditions are tested to ensure that the

module operates properly at boundaries established to limit or restrict processing.All independent paths through the control structure are exercised to ensure that all

statements in a module have been executed at least once. And finally, all errors

handling paths are tested.

In this project the testing is done according to bottom-up approach . Starting with smallest

and lowest level modules and processing one at a time. For each module a driver and

corresponding stubs were also written. If any errors found they were corrected immediately and

the unit was tested again.

6.3 Regression Testing

Any time we modify an implementation within a program, we should also do regression

testing. We can do so by retuning existing tests against the modified code to determine whether


8/6/2019 Report BIP

39/44


the changes break anything that worked prior to the change and by writing new tests where

necessary.

Some strategies and factors considered during this process include the following:

Test fixed bugs promptly.

Watch for side effects of fixes. The bug itself might be fixed but the fix might create other bugs.

Regression test is written for each bug fixed.

If two or more tests are similar, determine which is less effective and get rid of it.

Identify tests that the program consistently passes and archive them.

Focus on functional issues, not those related to design.

Make changes (small and large) to data and find any resulting corruption.

Trace the effects of the changes on program memory.

6.4 Stress Testing

Stress testing, which is specialized form of performance testing, is similar to destructive

testing in other field of engineering. The goal of stress testing is to crash the application by

increasing the processing load past performance degradation until the application begins to fail

due to saturation of resources or the occurrence of errors. Stress testing helps to reveal subtle

bugs that would otherwise go undetected until the application was deployed. Since such bugs are

typically the result of design flaws, stress testing should begin early in the development phase oneach area of the application. Fix these subtle bugs at their source instead of fixing symptomatic

bugs that may occur elsewhere in the application if these bugs were ignored.

6.5 Integration Testing

Integration testing is a logical extension of unit testing. In its simplest form, two units that

have already been tested are combined into a component and the interface between them is

tested. A component, in this sense, refers to an integrated aggregate of more than one unit. The

idea is to test combinations of pieces and eventually expand the process to test your modules

with those of other groups. Eventually all the modules making up a process are tested together.

Any errors discovered when combining units are likely related to the interface between

units. This method reduces the number of possibilities to a far simpler level of analysis.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

40/44


In this software, the bottom-up integration testing approached has been used, starting with

the smallest and lowest level modules and proceeding one at a time. For each module the tests

were conducted and the results were noted down.

6.6 User Testing

User Testing is nothing but the test of the software by the users themselves with live data being

fed to the system. This helps in building really robust system. User testing in this system has

been done extensively ascertain the results.

6.7 Walkthroughs, Reviews and DemosSometimes known as the informal peer group review, walkthroughs are one of a handful of

techniques that make a big difference to the chances of success in a software project.

The aim of a walkthrough is to improve the quality of a piece of work by discovering

potential problems. A walkthrough, when done properly, is seen as a positive contribution to the

producer and his or her work; it is not seen as criticism or a negative activity or a threat.

Plenty of Reviews, Walkthroughs or Demos to the Managers and client done

regularly in various meetings. This helped ascertaining the work being done, whether it is

going in a correct way or not, and it also helped in lot of in continues improvement in the

features of the system.

6.8 Automation Testing:

"Automated Testing" is automating the manual testing process currently in use. This requires that

a formalized "manual testing process", currently exists in the company or organization.


8/6/2019 Report BIP

41/44


Automation is the use of strategies, tools and artifacts that augment or reduce the need of manual

or human involvement or interaction in unskilled, repetitive or redundant tasks.

Minimally, such a process includes:

Detailed test cases, including predictable "expected results", which have been developed

from Business Functional Specifications and Design documentation

A standalone Test Environment, including a Test Database that is restorable to a known

constant, such that the test cases are able to be repeated each time there are modifications

made to the application.

6.8.1 The following types of testing can be automated:

Functional - testing that operations perform as expected.

Regression - testing that the behavior of the system has not changed.

Exception or Negative - forcing error conditions in the system.

Stress - determining the absolute capacities of the application and operational

infrastructure.

Performance - providing assurance that the performance of the system will be adequate

for both batch runs and online transactions in relation to business projections and

requirements.

Load - determining the points at which the capacity and performance of the system

become degraded to the situation that hardware or software upgrades would be required.

6.8.2 Benefits of Automated Testing:

Reliable: Tests perform precisely the same operations each time they are run, thereby

eliminating human error

Repeatable: You can test how the software reacts under repeated execution of the same

operations.

Programmable: You can program sophisticated tests that bring out hidden information from the

application.

Comprehensive: You can build a suite of tests that covers every feature in your application.

Reusable: You can reuse tests on different versions of an application, even if the user interface

changes.

Better Quality Software: Because you can run more tests in less time with fewer resources

Fast: Automated Tools run tests significantly faster than human users.

Cost Reduction: As the number of resources for regression test are reduced.

6.8.3 Automated testing gets the following benefits:

Concise: As simple as possible and no simpler.

Self-Checking: Test reports its own results; needs no human interpretation.

Repeatable: Test can be run many times in a row without human intervention.

Robust: Test produces same result now and forever. Tests are not affected by changes in

the external environment.

Sufficient: Tests verify all the requirements of the software being tested.

Necessary: Everything in each test contributes to the specification of desired behavior.

Clear: Every statement is easy to understand.

Efficient: Tests run in a reasonable amount of time.

Specific: Each test failure points to a specific piece of broken functionality; unit test

failures provide "defect triangulation".

Independent: Each test can be run by itself or in a suite with an arbitrary set of other

tests in any order.

Maintainable: Tests should be easy to understand and modify and extend.

Traceable: To and from the code it tests and to and from the requirements.
