INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM DESIGN ,ystem design is a solution4 a 5how to6 approach to the creation of the new system. This important phase is composed of the several steps. It provides the understandings and procedural details necessary for implementing the system recommended in feasibility study. Emphasis is on translating the performance re7uirements into design specification. &esign goes through logical and physical stages of development. +ogical designs reviews the present physical system4 prepares input and output specification4 make edit security and control specification4 details the implementation plan and prepares a logical design walkthrough. The physical design makes out the details of the physical system4 plans the system implementation devices a test and implementation plan and specifies any new hardware and software. Implementation4 planning4 system test preparation4 system interfaces specification and user documentation. 8. &ata 3ase &esign9 ! This activity deals with the design of the physical database. ) key is to determine how the access paths are to be implemented. ) physical path is derived from a logical path. :. Programs &esign9 ! In conjunction with the database design is a decision on the programming language to be used and the flowcharting and debugging procedure prior to conversion. ;. ,ystems and Programs Test Preparation9 ! Each aspect of the system has a separate test re7uirement. ,ystem testing is done after all programming and testing are completed the test cases cover every aspect of the candidate system actual operation4 user interface and so on. <. ,ystem Interface ,pecification9 ! This phase specifies for the user how information should enter and leave the system.

Pr(cess (f desi%n
The design phase focuses on the detail implementation of the system recommended in the feasibility study. Emphasis is on translating the performance specifications into design specifications. The design phase is a transition from a user!oriented document to a document oriented to the programmers or data base personnel.

Output Design: (omputer outputs are most important and direct source of information to the user. Efficient4 intelligible output design should improve the system?s relationship with the user and help in decision making. ) major form of output in a hard copy from the printer. Printout should be designed around the output re7uirement of the user.

:.

Form design:The data4 the forms carry come from people and the informational output the system goes to the people. The physical carrier of data of information. It also can constitute authority for action. Each from is a re7uest for an action. It provides information for making decision and improving operations. .anipulate4 describe and manage data.

e. Testin%&'

#o system design is ever perfect. ) system is tested for online response4 volume of transaction4 stress4 recovery from failure and usability. ,ystem testing re7uires a test plan that consists of several key activities and steps for programs4 string4 system and user acceptance testing. Testing is the process to check the system to find out any error that many cause the system some trouble or hamper the integrity of the data. PREPERATION OF T"E TEST PLAN ,oftware testing is the process of e=ecuting a program with the intent of finding an error. ) good test has a high probability of finding a yet undiscovered error. The test data was prepared keeping in mind the user re7uirement and e=pectation. MET"OD USED TO TEST DATA 8. Test data was keened in through the data entry screen in the database. :. Input@output was carried to ensure proper functioning of the system. It was confirmed that all the re7uired validation and check are performed by giving invalid data input. ;. Testing for suitable error message@messages was done in case of invalid data entry. <. Testing for proper report layout. TESTING MET"OD 8 UNIT TESTING :- This type of testing involve individual testing of programs with respect to the desired e=pected output proper care is taken when entering the data checks were made to see that the data entered is correct and not of the specified bondAsB4 proper error message are flashed when an error occurs.

: SYSTEM TESTING: - In this phase the system as a whole is tested. This testing phase will check the integrity of the data while it was transferred from one process to another. The interaction between the modules was checked to see whether a module procedure the re7uired output4 which would be needed as input of another one.

This is crucial phase of system development .It involves introduction of new system into operation. This involves creating computer awareness on to job4 training4 installation of hardware4 terminal if does not e=ist4 client communication e7uipment before the system is up and made operational. 'ser manuals are prepared and user is trained in its use. 3efore implementation system was working manually. Few people were developed to run the computeri>ed system. &ata was fed at regular interval and monitories on basis of report and output. )ll the possible errors were recorded rectify and rested. The system after proper security and satisfaction was stepped in to ne=t phase employees were given ade7uate training4 about how to handle the system.

f.

P(st'i*$+e*entati(n and Maintenance&'

)fter the installation phase is completed and the user staff is adjusted to the changes created by the candidate system4 the evaluation and maintenance begin. +ike any system4 there is an aging process that re7uires periodic maintenance of Hardware " ,oftware. If the new information is inconsistent with the designed specification then changes have to be incorporated in the ,oftware. Hardware also re7uires periodic maintenance to keep in tune with designed specification.

TO SOFT!ARE USED
A OUT OPERATING SYSTEM !INDO!S ,In order to understand the application development process4 it is helpful to understand some of the key concepts upon which 2isual 3asic is build because 2isual 3asic is a windows development language4 so some familiarity with the /indows environment is necessary.
) complete description of the inner working of /indows would re7uire an entire book. ) simplified working of the /indows involves three key concepts9!

. !ind(/s 0 E1ents 2 Messa%es

/indows can be thought of simply as a rectangular region with its own boundaries. There are several different types of /indows9 8 )n e=plorer window in /indows 01 : ) document window within our word processing program %$ ; ) dialog bo= that pops up of remind us of an appointment Icons4 Te=t bo=es4 %ption buttons and menu bar all /indows. The .icrosoft /indows % ., manages all of these many windows by assigning each one a uni7ue I& no. the system continually monitors each of these windows for sign of activity or events. Events can occur through user action such as a mouse click or a key press4 through programmatic control4 or events as a result of another window action.

VISUAL ASIC
The 5VISUAL part refers to the methods used to create the raphical 'ser Interface A 'IB. $ather than writing numerous lines of code we simply drag and drop pre!build objects into place on the screen. The 5BASI 6 part refers to the 3),I( A3eginners )ll Purpose ,ymbolic Instruction (odeB language4 a language used by more programmers. 23 has evolved from original 3),I( language and now contains several more than hundred statements4 functions and keywords4 many of which relate directly to /indows AGUIB. 3eginners can create useful application by learning just a few of the keywords. /hether our goal is to create a small utility for our workgroup or a large enterprise!wide system4 ourselves or even distributed applications spanning the globe via the Internet4 23 has the tool we need. 8 &ata access features allow us to create database " front!end application for most popular database formats. : )ctiveC technology allows us to use the functionality provided by other applications4 such as .icrosoft /ord word processor4 .icrosoft E=cel spreadsheet and other /indows application. ; Internet capabilities make it easy to provide access to documents and applications across the Internet from within our document. < %ur finished application is true .e=e file that uses a runtime &ynamic +ink +ibrary A&++B that we can freely distribute.

UNDERSTANDING T"E EVENT DRIVEN MODEL

In traditional or procedural applications the application itself controls which portion of the code to e=ecute and in which se7uence. In an event driven application4 the code does not follow a predetermined path it e=ecutes different code sections in response to events. Events can be triggered by user action4 by messages from the system or other

applications. The se7uence of these events determines the se7uence in which the code e=ecutes each time program runs. %ur code can also trigger events during e=ecution4 or it is important to understand to the event driven model.

INTERACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
The traditional application development process can be broken into three steps. /hich are as follows9! 8 /riting : (ompiling ; Testing the code unlike traditional language4 23 uses an interactive approach. /ith most languages4 if we make a mistake the error is caught by the compiler when we start compiling our application. /e must then find and fi= the errors and then start the compile cycle again4 repeating the process for each error. 23 interprets our code as we enter it4 catching and highlighting the errors. 23 also compiles the code as we enter. /hen we are ready to e=ecute the code there is no delay in compiling.

ELEMENTS OF IDE

23 is referred to as the ,*.,ntegrated *e%elopment -n%ironment/ because it integrates many

The working environment in functions such as design4 coding4 editing4 compiling4 and debugging the error and immediate windows for different purposes within a single environment.

FORMS AND CONTROLS The first step to creating an application using 23 is to create the interface i.e. the visual part of the application that the user interacts with forms and controls are the basic building block used to create the interface. . FORMS &' Forms are objects that process properties that define their appearance4 methods that define their behavior4 and events which define their interaction with the user. 3y setting the properties of the form and writing 23 code to respond to its events we can customi>e the objects to meet the re7uirements of our application.

0 CONTROLS &'
(ontrols are objects that are contained within form objects. Each type of control has it?s own properties4 methods and events that make it suitable for a particular purpose. ,ome of these controls we use in our application are best suited for entering or displaying te=t. %ther controls let us access other applications and process data as if the remote application was part of our code. PRO3ECT LIMATIONS ,ingle project can contain up to ;:4DDD identifiers which include forms4 controls4 modules4 variables4 constraints4 procedures4 functions and objects. 2ariables name no longer than :EE characters and the names of forms4 controls4 modules and classes cannot be longer than <D characters. The amount of code that can be loaded into a form is limited to FE4E;< lines. ) single line code can consist of 8D:; bytes.

ADO Data Control

The ADO Data control uses Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to quickly create connections between data bound controls and data !roviders" Data bound controls are any controls that feature a Data#ource !ro!erty" Data !roviders can be any source written to the O$% D& s!ecification" 'ou can also easily create your own data !rovider usin( )isual &asic*s class +odule" Althou(h you can use the ActiveX Data Objects directly in your a!!lications, the ADO Data control has the advanta(e of bein( a (ra!hic control (with &ack and -orward buttons) and an easy to use interface that allows you to create database a!!lications with a +ini+u+ of code" #i$ure %.& The ADO Data Control
