CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The project entitled “ALUMNI OF CHRIST COLLEGE”(AOCC) helps

a college management to store the details of the old and new students of the college.
It also allows them to communicate with each other. Once a student graduates from
the institute,his/her profession life or career begins,with higher education playing an
important role in establishing himself/herself in the profession. In respect of college,
it has been our experience that from very beginning, the alumni have maintained
personal contacts with one another rather than use the platform Alumni Association.

This project has two sides (Admin and Alumni). The admin side can manage
all the list of job posted,alumni list, events, forum topics and the gallery. The Alumni
can create an account,post a job opportunity, create a forum topic and join to other
forums and commit to participate in an upcoming events.The details related to the Job
vacancies ,Career ,Subject details can be asked by the new students from the old
students. This process will need the verification in order to enlist the alumnus .

After admin verify the user as an alumnus can begin to explore the features of
the system. The admin will create the about content of the college to be displayed on
the website. This feature helps the college management to update the about content of
the system easily even without the presence of a developer.The details of the students
can be got in just one mouse click.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM

 Existing system is a manual one in which user are maintaining documents in
the format of paper work to store information like colleges details and student
details.
 There is no security for the data that is stored through such method.
 It is very difficult to maintain old datas.
 It is difficult to maintain important information in paper work.
 More hours need to generate required reports.
 It is requires more space while the information where stored in papers.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 The design and implementation of the alumni dashboard system will be
available for general public use through the web interface.
 A non- verified visitor can look at only on upcoming events and about content
only registered and verified alumni students can see other alumni profiles.
 It is highly safe and secure so that outsiders can’t misuse this system.
 Graduates can add some information about themselves like working
experience, currently connected etc.
 All updates and notification will be send to all alumni students to their
registered Email Id.
 Job facilities will provided from the alumni students and also from Christ
college side.

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.

 CHAPTER 5
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

5.1 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

PHP LANGUAGE :
PHP code may be embedded into HTML code, or it can be used in
combination with various web template systems, web content management systems,
and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter
implemented as a module in the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
executable. The web server combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP
code, which may be any type of data, including images, with the generated web page.
PHP code may also be executed with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used
to implement standalone graphical applications.

The standard PHP interpreter, powered by the Zend Engine, is free

software released under the PHP License. PHP has been widely ported and can be
deployed on most web servers on almost every operating system and platform, free of
charge.

The PHP language evolved without a written formal specification or

standard until 2014, leaving the canonical PHP interpreter as a de facto standard.
Since 2014 work has gone on to create a formal PHP specification.

PHP is an html-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is

borrowed from c, java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. the goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated
pages quickly. This is generally a good definition of PHP. However, it does contain a
lot of terms you may not be used to.

Another way to think of PHP is a powerful, behind the scenes scripting

language that your visitors won't see! When someone visits your PHP webpage, your
web server processes the PHP code. It then sees which parts it needs to show to
visitors (content and pictures) and hides the other stuff (file operations, math
calculations, etc.) then translates your PHP into html. Afterthe translation into html, it

25
sends the webpage to your visitor's web browser.

THE PHP SYNTAX

Before we talk about PHP's syntax, let us first define what syntax is referring
to.
 Syntax - The rules that must be followed to write properly structured code.
PHP's syntax and semantics are similar to most other programming languages
(c, java, perl) with the addition that all PHP code is contained with a tag, of sorts. all
PHP code must be contained within the following <?php ?>.

PHP VARIABLE:
A variable is a means of storing a value, such as text string "hello world!" or
the integer
value 4. A variable can then be reused throughout your code, instead of having to
type out theactual value over and over again.
In PHP you define a variable with the following form:
 $variable name = value;
If you forget that dollar sign at the beginning, it will not work. This is a
common mistake fornew PHP programmers.

APACHE HTTP SERVER

The Apache HTTP Server, colloquially called Apache, is the world's most
widely used web server software. Originally based on the NCSA HTTP server,
development of Apache began in early 1995 after work on the NCSA code stalled.
Apache played a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web, quickly
overtaking NCSA HTTP as the dominant HTTP server, and has remained the most
popular HTTP server since April 1996. In 2009, it became the first web server
software to serve more than 100 million websites.
Apache is developed and maintained by an open community of developers
under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation. Most commonly used on a
Unix-like system (usually Linux), the software is available for a wide variety of
operating systems, including Windows, OS X, Linux, Unix, FreeBSD, Solaris,
NetWare, OS/2, TPF and OpenVMS Released under the Apache License, Apache is
free and open-source software.

26
DATABASE MySQL:
A database is a separate application that stores a collection of data. Each
database has one or more distinct APIs for creating, accessing, managing, searching
and replicating the data it holds. Other kinds of data stores can be used, such as files
on the file system or large hash tables in Memory but data fetching and writing would
not be so fast and easy with those types of systems. So nowadays, we use relational
database management systems (RDBMS) to store and manage huge volume of data.
This is called relational database because all the data is stored into different tables and
relations are established using primary keys or other keys known as foreign keys.

MySQL DATABASE:
MySQL is a fast, easy-to-use RDBMS being used for many small and big
businesses. MySQL is developed, marketed, and supported by MySQL AB, which is
a Swedish company.MySQL is becoming so popular because of many good reasons:
MySQL is released under an open-source license. So you have nothing to pay to use
it.MySQL is a very powerful program in its own right. It handles a large subset of the
Functionality of the most expensive and powerful database packages.
MySQL uses a standard form of the well-known SQL data language.
MySQL works on many operating systems and with many languages
including PHP,PERL, C, C++, JAVA, etc.
MySQL is customizable. The open-source GPL license allows programmers
to modifyThe MySQL software to fit their own specific environments.
MySQL works very quickly and works well even with large data sets.
MySQL is very friendly to PHP, the most appreciated language for web development.

 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
thesoftware lifecycle, although 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.

32
  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.

33
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 fulfills 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

34
Required Field Validator

It checks the mandatory fields. All entries or necessary fields must be filled.

Regular Expression Validator

It checks for data in a particular expression, like e-mail, data type.

Range Field Validator

It checks the range of user input. For example, mobile number should not exceed ten
digits.

CONCLUSION

Alumni portal for any college website is very important. It has been setup to
increase interaction, Knowledge sharing and networking among the alumni students and
also focuses on bringing together all alumni students of the college. And the primary
goal of this report is to connect the alumni students with the college. The existing
college students with the help of alumni web portal can easily communicate with alumni
students to get more job opportunity .Through this system all students of college can
easily be connected with the college alumni website.

45
 CHAPTER 9

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

 Android applications may be created in the future.

 In the future, an app will automatically deliver information or notifications
regarding college to their mobile phone.
 Alumni students can take part in seminars via video conferencing
 Alumni who were financially secure can assist the less fortunate student
financially.
