Library Management System
Developed in PHP & MySQL
Abstract
Library management system is a project which aims in
developing a computerized system to maintain all the daily
work of library .This project has many features which are
generally not available in normal library management
systems like facility of user login and a facility of admin
login .It also has a facility of admin login through which
the admin can monitor the whole system . It has also a
facility where student after logging in their accounts can
see list of books issued and its issue date and return date.
Overall, this project of ours is being developed to help the
students as well as staff of library to maintain the library in
the best way possible and also reduce the human efforts.
Background of the Project
Library Management System is an application which refers to library systems
which are generally small or medium in size. It is used by librarian to manage
the library using a computerized system where he/she can record various
transactions like issue of books, return of books, addition of new books, addition
of new students etc.
Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system which
would keep track of the students using the library and also a detailed description
about the books a library contains. With this computerized system there will be
no loss of book record or member record which generally happens when a non-
computerized system is used.
All these modules are able to help librarian to manage the library with more
convenience and in a more efficient way as compared to library systems which
are not computerized.

System Testing
The goal of the system testing process was to determine all faults
in our project .The program was subjected to a set of test inputs
and many explanations were made and based on these
explanations it will be decided whether the program behaves as
expected or not. Our Project went through two levels of testing
Unit testing
Integration testing
