EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

This project is aimed at developing a web-based Leave Management System, which is of


importance to either an organization or a college. The Leave Management system is an
Intranet based application that can be accessed throughout the organization or a specified
group/dept. This system can be used to automate the workflow of leave applications and their
approvals. The periodic crediting of leave is also automated. There are features like
notifications, cancellation of leave, automatic approval of leave, report generators etc.
system.

Functional components of the project:

In this project, people should be get registered into the system. So that, Admin can able
to approve the requests given by the requestor. In an organization, the hierarchy could be
Engineers/Managers/Business Managers/Managing Director etc.

Following is a list of functionalities of the system (A person can able to):

 login to the system through the first page of the application

 change the password after logging into the system

 see his/her eligibility details (like how many days of leave he/she is eligible for etc)

 query the leave balance

 see his/her leave history since the time he/she joined the company/college

 apply for leave, specifying the from and to dates, reason for taking leave, address for
communication while on leave and his/her superior’s email id

 see his/her current leave applications and the leave applications that are submitted to
him/her for approval or cancellation

 approve/reject the leave applications that are submitted to him/her

 withdraw his/her leave application (which has not been approved yet)

 Cancel his/her leave (which has been already approved). This will need to be
approved by his/her Superior

2
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 get help about the leave system on how to use the different features of the system

As soon as a leave application /cancellation request /withdrawal /approval /rejection


/password-change is made by the person, an automatic email should be sent to the person and
his superior giving details about the action.

The number of days of leave (as per the assumed leave policy) should be automatically
credited to everybody and a notification regarding the same be sent to them automatically.

An automatic leave-approval facility for leave applications which are older than 2 weeks
should be there. Notification about the automatic leave approval should be sent to the person
as well as his superior

EXISTING SYSTEM:

 All Work are done Manually.

 Cannot Upload and Download the latest updates.

  No use of Web Services and Remoting.

 Risk of mismanagement and of data when the project is under development.

 Less Security.

 No proper coordination between different Applications and Users.

 Fewer Users - Friendly.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The development of the new system contains the following activities, which try to
automate the entire process keeping in view of the database integration approach.

 User friendliness is provided in the application with various controls.

 The system makes the overall project management much easier and flexible.

 Readily upload the latest updates, allows user to download the alerts by clicking the
URL.

EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project development is
under process.

SYSTEM ANLAYSIS

STUDY OF THE SYSTEM

To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible
through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as

1. Administrative user interface


2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is


practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the
data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like
data insertion, data deletion and data updation along with the extensive data search
capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in
transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface
also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as
per the included flexibilities

INPUT & OUTPOUT REPRESENTETATION

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.

INPUT STAGES:

The main input stages can be listed as below:

 Data recording
 Data transcription

4
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Data conversion
 Data verification
 Data control
 Data transmission
 Data validation
 Data correction
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.
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

5
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

directly keyed in by the user, the keyboard can be considered to be the most suitable input
device.

OUTPUT DESIGN:

In general, the output design is depicted as:

 External Outputs whose destination is outside the organization.


 Internal Outputs whose destination is within organization and they are the User’s
main interface with the computer. 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
 Operational outputs whose use is purely with in the computer department.
 Interface outputs, which involve the user in communicating directly with the system.
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.

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.

6
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 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 hard 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.

PROCESS MODEL USED WITH JUSTIFICATION

SDLC (Spiral Model):

Fig

SDLC is nothing but Software Development Life Cycle. It is a standard which is used by
software industry to develop good software.

Stages in SDLC:

 Requirement Gathering

7
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Analysis
 Designing
 Coding
 Testing
 Maintenance
Requirements Gathering stage:

The requirements gathering process takes as its input the goals identified in the high-
level requirements section of the project plan. Each goal will be refined into a set of one or
more requirements. These requirements define the major functions of the intended
application, define operational data areas and reference data areas, and define the initial data
entities. Major functions include critical processes to be managed, as well as mission critical
inputs, outputs and reports. A user class hierarchy is developed and associated with these
major functions, data areas, and data entities. Each of these definitions is termed a
Requirement. Requirements are identified by unique requirement identifiers and, at
minimum, contain a requirement title and textual description.

These requirements are fully described in the primary deliverables for this stage: The
Requirements Document and the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). The requirements
document contains complete descriptions of each requirement, including diagrams and
references to external documents as necessary. Note that detailed listings of database tables
and fields are not included in the requirements document.

8
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The title of each requirement is also placed into the first version of the RTM, along with
the title of each goal from the project plan. The purpose of the RTM is to show that the
product components developed during each stage of the software development lifecycle are
formally connected to the components developed in prior stages.

In the requirements stage, the RTM consists of a list of high-level requirements, or goals,
by title, with a listing of associated requirements for each goal, listed by requirement title. In
this hierarchical listing, the RTM shows that each requirement developed during this stage is
formally linked to a specific product goal. In this format, each requirement can be traced to a
specific product goal, hence the term requirements traceability.

The outputs of the requirements definition stage include the requirements document, the
RTM, and an updated project plan.

 Feasibility study is all about identification of problems in a project.


 No. of staff required to handle a project is represented as Team Formation, in this
case only modules are individual tasks will be assigned to employees who are
working for that project.
 Project Specifications are all about representing of various possible inputs submitting
to the server and corresponding outputs along with reports maintained by
administrator
Analysis Stage:

The planning stage establishes a bird's eye view of the intended software product, and
uses this to establish the basic project structure, evaluate feasibility and risks associated with
the project, and describe appropriate management and technical approaches.

9
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The most critical section of the project plan is a listing of high-level product
requirements, also referred to as goals. All of the software product requirements to be
developed during the requirements definition stage flow from one or more of these goals. The
minimum information for each goal consists of a title and textual description, although
additional information and references to external documents may be included. The outputs of
the project planning stage are the configuration management plan, the quality assurance plan,
and the project plan and schedule, with a detailed listing of scheduled activities for the
upcoming Requirements stage, and high-level estimates of effort for the out stages.

Designing Stage:

The design stage takes as its initial input the requirements identified in the approved
requirements document. For each requirement, a set of one or more design elements will be
produced as a result of interviews, workshops, and/or prototype efforts. Design elements
describe the desired software features in detail, and generally include functional hierarchy
diagrams, screen layout diagrams, tables of business rules, business process diagrams, pseudo
code, and a complete entity-relationship diagram with a full data dictionary. These design
elements are intended to describe the software in sufficient detail that skilled programmers
may develop the software with minimal additional input.

10
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

When the design document is finalized and accepted, the RTM is updated to show that
each design element is formally associated with a specific requirement. The outputs of the
design stage are the design document, an updated RTM, and an updated project plan.

Development (Coding) Stage:

The development stage takes as its primary input the design elements described in the
approved design document. For each design element, a set of one or more software artifacts
will be produced. Software artifacts include but are not limited to menus, dialogs, data
management forms, data reporting formats, and specialized procedures and functions.
Appropriate test cases will be developed for each set of functionally related software artifacts,
and an online help system will be developed to guide users in their interactions with the
software.

11
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The RTM will be updated to show that each developed artifact is linked to a specific
design element, and that each developed artifact has one or more corresponding test case
items. At this point, the RTM is in its final configuration. The outputs of the development
stage include a fully functional set of software that satisfies the requirements and design
elements previously documented, an online help system that describes the operation of the
software, an implementation map that identifies the primary code entry points for all major
system functions, a test plan that describes the test cases to be used to validate the correctness
and completeness of the software, an updated RTM, and an updated project plan.

Integration & Test Stage:

During the integration and test stage, the software artifacts, online help, and test data are
migrated from the development environment to a separate test environment. At this point, all
test cases are run to verify the correctness and completeness of the software. Successful
execution of the test suite confirms a robust and complete migration capability. During this
stage, reference data is finalized for production use and production users are identified and
linked to their appropriate roles. The final reference data (or links to reference data source
files) and production user list are compiled into the Production Initiation Plan.

12
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The outputs of the integration and test stage include an integrated set of software, an
online help system, an implementation map, a production initiation plan that describes
reference data and production users, an acceptance plan which contains the final suite of test
cases, and an updated project plan.

 Installation & Acceptance Test:


During the installation and acceptance stage, the software artifacts, online help, and
initial production data are loaded onto the production server. At this point, all test cases are
run to verify the correctness and completeness of the software. Successful execution of the
test suite is a prerequisite to acceptance of the software by the customer.

13
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

After customer personnel have verified that the initial production data load is correct
and the test suite has been executed with satisfactory results, the customer formally accepts
the delivery of the software.

The primary outputs of the installation and acceptance stage include a production
application, a completed acceptance test suite, and a memorandum of customer acceptance of
the software. Finally, the PDR enters the last of the actual labor data into the project schedule
and locks the project as a permanent project record. At this point the PDR "locks" the project
by archiving all software items, the implementation map, the source code, and the
documentation for future reference.

Maintenance:

Outer rectangle represents maintenance of a project, Maintenance team will start with
requirement study, understanding of documentation later employees will be assigned work
and they will undergo training on that particular assigned category.

For this life cycle there is no end, it will be continued so on like an umbrella (no ending
point to umbrella sticks).

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Architecture flow:

Below architecture diagram represents mainly flow of requests from users to database
through servers. In this scenario overall system is designed in three tires separately using
three layers called presentation layer, business logic layer and data link layer. This project
was developed using 3-tier architecture.

14
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Preliminary investigation examines 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 systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There
are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:

 Technical Feasibility
 Operation Feasibility
 Economic Feasibility

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?

15
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data
security?

OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY

User-friendly

Customer will use the forms for their various transactions i.e. for adding new routes,
viewing the routes details. Also, the Customer wants the reports to view the various
transactions based on the constraints. These forms and reports are generated as user-friendly
to the Client.

Reliability

The package wills pick-up current transactions on line. Regarding the old transactions,
User will enter them in to the system.

Security

The web server and database server should be protected from hacking, virus etc

Portability

The application will be developed using standard open source software (Except Oracle)
like Java, tomcat web server, Internet Explorer Browser etc. This software will work both on
Windows and Linux o/s. Hence portability problems will not arise.

Availability

This software will be available always.

Maintainability

The system called the ewheelz uses the 2-tier architecture. The 1st tier is the GUI, which
is said to be front-end and the 2nd tier is the database, which uses MySQL, which is the back-
end. The front-end can be run on different systems (clients). The database will be running at
the server. Users access these forms by using the user-ids and the passwords.

ECONOMIC FEASILITY

The computerized system takes care of the present existing system’s data flow and
procedures completely and should generate all the reports of the manual system besides a
host of other management reports.

16
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

It should be built as a web-based application with separate web server and database
server. This is required as the activities are spread throughout the organization customer
wants a centralized database. Further some of the linked transactions take place in different
locations.

Open source software like TOMCAT, JAVA, MySQL and Linux is used to minimize the
cost for the Customer.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

18
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

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 with 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.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:

One of the most difficult tasks is that, the selection of the software, once system requirement
is known is determining whether a particular software package fits the requirements. After
initial selection further security is needed to determine the desirability of particular software
compared with other candidates. This section first summarizes the application requirement
question and then suggests more detailed comparisons.

 Operating System -------- Windows 95/98/NT/2000

 Browser -------- IE

 Web/Application Server -------- apache web server

 Database Server -------- MySQL

 Database Connectivity -------- JDBC

 Other Tools & Technologies -------- PHP, HTML

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

19
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The selection of hardware is very important in the existence and proper working of any
software. In the selection of hardware, the size and the capacity requirements are also
important.

The Web Based Manufacturing System can be efficiently run on Pentium system with at
least 128 MB RAM and Hard disk drive having 20 GB. Floppy disk drive of 1.44 MB and 14
inch Samsung color monitor suits the information system operation.(A Printer is required for
hard copy output).

 Pentium processor -------- 233 MHZ or above


 RAM Capacity -------- 128MB
 Hard Disk -------- 20GB
 Floppy disk -------- 1.44 MB
 CD-ROM Drive -------- 32 HZ
 KEYBOARD -------- 108 Standard
INTRODUCTION TO PHP

PHP

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that


was originally designed for web development, to produce dynamic web pages. It can be
embedded into HTML and generally runs on a web server, which needs to be configured to
process PHP code and create web page content from it. It can be deployed on most web
servers and on almost every operating system and platform free of charge.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 and has been in continuous
development ever since. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP
Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification.PHP is
free software released under the PHP License, which is incompatible with the GNU General
Public License (GPL) because of restrictions on the use of the term PHP. PHP has evolved to
include a command line interface capability and can also be used in standalone graphical
applications.

USAGE

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web


development. PHP generally runs on a web server. Any PHP code in a requested file is

20
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

executed by the PHP runtime, usually to create dynamic web page content. It can also be used
for command-line scripting and client-side GUI applications. PHP can be deployed on most
web servers, many operating systems and platforms, and can be used with many relational
database management systems. It is available free of charge, and the PHP Group provides the
complete source code for users to build, customize and extend for their own use.

PHP primarily acts as a filter, taking input from a file or stream containing text and/or
PHP instructions and outputs another stream of data; most commonly the output will be
HTML. Since PHP 4, the PHP parser compiles input to produce byte code for processing by
the Zend Engine, giving improved performance over its interpreter predecessor

Originally designed to create dynamic web pages, PHP now focuses mainly on server-
side scripting, and it is similar to other server-side scripting languages that provide dynamic
content from a web server to a client, such as Microsoft's Active Server Pages, Sun
Microsystems' Java Server Pages and mod_perl. PHP has also attracted the development of
many frameworks that provide building blocks and a design structure to promote rapid
application development (RAD). Some of these include CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter,
and Zend Framework, offering features similar to other web application frameworks.

HTML

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup
language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting
structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links,
quotes, and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to
create interactive forms. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of "tags"
surrounded by angle brackets within the web page content. It can include or can load scripts
in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML processors like Web
browsers; and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and
other material. The W3C, maintainer of both HTML and CSS standards, encourages the use
of CSS over explicit presentational markup.

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the encoding scheme used to create and
format a web document. A user need not be an expert programmer to make use of HTML for
creating hypertext documents that can be put on the internet.

21
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Most graphical e-mail clients allow the use of a subset of HTML (often ill-defined) to
provide formatting and semantic markup not available with plain text. This may include
typographic information like colored headings, emphasized and quoted text, inline images
and diagrams. Many such clients include both a GUI editor for composing HTML e-mail
messages and a rendering engine for displaying them. Use of HTML in e-mail is
controversial because of compatibility issues, because it can help disguise phishing attacks,
because it can confuse spam filters and because the message size is larger than plain text.

The most common filename extension for files containing HTML is .html. A common
abbreviation of this is .htm, which originated because some early operating systems and file
systems, such as DOS and FAT, limited file extensions to three letters.

An HTML Application is a Microsoft Windows application that uses HTML and


Dynamic HTML in a browser to provide the application's graphical interface. A regular
HTML file is confined to the security model of the web browser, communicating only to web
servers and manipulating only webpage objects and site cookies. An HTA runs as a fully
trusted application and therefore has more privileges, like creation/editing/removal of files
and Windows Registry entries. Because they operate outside the browser's security model,
HTAs cannot be executed via HTTP, but must be downloaded (just like an EXE file) and
executed from local file system

JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language used to enable programmatic access


to objects within both the client application and other applications. It is primarily used in the
form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as an integrated component of the web browser,
allowing the development of enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites. JavaScript is a
dialect of the ECMAScript standard and is characterized as a dynamic, weakly typed,
prototype-based language with first-class functions. JavaScript was influenced by many
languages and was designed to look like Java, but to be easier for non-programmers to work
with.

JavaScript uses prototypes instead of classes for inheritance. It is possible to simulate


many class-based features with prototypes in JavaScript. Functions double as object
constructors along with their typical role. Prefixing a function call with new creates a new
object and calls that function with its local this keyword bound to that object for that

22
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

invocation. The constructor's prototype property determines the object used for the new
object's internal prototype. JavaScript's built-in constructors, such as Array, also have
prototypes that can be modified.

Unlike many object-oriented languages, there is no distinction between a function


definition and a method definition. Rather, the distinction occurs during function calling; a
function can be called as a method. When a function is called as a method of an object, the
function's local this keyword is bound to that object for that invocation.

USAGE

The primary use of JavaScript is to write functions that are embedded in or included
from HTML pages and interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page.
Because JavaScript code can run locally in a user's browser (rather than on a remote server) it
can respond to user actions quickly, making an application feel more responsive.
Furthermore, JavaScript code can detect user actions which HTML alone cannot, such as
individual keystrokes. Applications such as Gmail take advantage of this: much of the user-
interface logic is written in JavaScript, and JavaScript dispatches requests for information
(such as the content of an e-mail message) to the server. The wider trend of Ajax
programming similarly exploits this strength.

A JavaScript engine (also known as JavaScript interpreter or JavaScript implementation)


is an interpreter that interprets JavaScript source code and executes the script accordingly.
The first JavaScript engine was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape Communications
Corporation, for the Netscape Navigator web browser. A web browser is by far the most
common host environment for JavaScript. Web browsers typically use the public API to
create "host objects" responsible for reflecting the DOM into JavaScript.

4.3 MySQL:
MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database management system, is
developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation.

 MySQL is a database management system.


A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping
list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To add,
access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management
system such as MySQL Server. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of

23
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

data, database management systems play a central role in computing, as standalone utilities,
or as parts of other applications.

 MySQL databases are relational


A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one
big storeroom. The database structures are organized into physical files optimized for speed.
The logical model, with objects such as databases, tables, views, rows, and columns, offers a
flexible programming environment. You set up rules governing the relationships between
different data fields, such as one-to-one, one-to-many, unique, required or optional,
and “pointers” between different tables. The database enforces these rules, so that with a
well-designed database, your application never sees inconsistent, duplicate, orphan, out-of-
date, or missing data.

The SQL part of “MySQL” stands for “Structured Query Language”. SQL is the most
common standardized language used to access databases. Depending on your programming
environment, you might enter SQL directly (for example, to generate reports), embed SQL
statements into code written in another language, or use a language-specific API that hides
the SQL syntax.

SQL is defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard. The SQL standard has been evolving
since 1986 and several versions exist. In this manual, “SQL-92” refers to the standard
released in 1992, “SQL:1999” refers to the standard released in 1999, and “SQL:2003” refers
to the current version of the standard. We use the phrase “the SQL standard” to mean the
current version of the SQL Standard at any time.

 MySQL software is Open Source.


Open Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and modify the software.
Anybody can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it without paying
anything. If you wish, you may study the source code and change it to suit your needs. The
MySQL software uses the GPL (GNU General Public License),http://www.fsf.org/licenses/,
to define what you may and may not do with the software in different situations. If you feel
uncomfortable with the GPL or need to embed MySQL code into a commercial application,
you can buy a commercially licensed version from us.

 The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, scalable, and easy to use.

24
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL Server can run
comfortably on a desktop or laptop, alongside your other applications, web servers, and so
on, requiring little or no attention. If you dedicate an entire machine to MySQL, you can
adjust the settings to take advantage of all the memory, CPU power, and I/O capacity
available. MySQL can also scale up to clusters of machines, networked together.

You can find a performance comparison of MySQL Server with other database managers
on our benchmark page. MySQL Server was originally developed to handle large databases
much faster than existing solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding
production environments for several years. Although under constant development, MySQL
Server today offers a rich and useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security
make MySQL Server highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet.

 MySQL Server works in client/server or embedded systems.


The MySQL Database Software is a client/server system that consists of a multi-threaded
SQL server that supports different backends, several different client programs and libraries,
administrative tools, and a wide range of application programming interfaces (APIs). We also
provide MySQL Server as an embedded multi-threaded library that you can link into your
application to get a smaller, faster, easier-to-manage standalone product.

 A large amount of contributed MySQL software is available.


MySQL Server has a practical set of features developed in close cooperation with our
users. It is very likely that your favorite application or language supports the MySQL
Database Server.

Implements SQL functions using a highly optimized class library that should be as fast as
possible. Usually there is no memory allocation at all after query initialization. Provides the
server as a separate program for use in a client/server networked environment, and as a
library that can be embedded (linked) into standalone applications. Such applications can be
used in isolation or in environments where no network is available.

Data Types

Many data types: signed/unsigned integers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 bytes


long, FLOAT, DOUBLE, CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY,VARBINARY, TEXT, BLOB, DA
TE, TIME, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, YEAR, SET, ENUM, and OpenGIS spatial types..

25

Statements and Functions


Full operator and function support in the SELECT list and WHERE clause of queries.

For example:

SELECT CONCAT (first_name, ' ', last_name)

FROM citizen

WHERE income/dependents > 10000 AND age > 30;

 Full support for SQL GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses. Support for group


functions(COUNT(), AVG(), STD(),SUM(), MAX(), MIN(), and GROUP_CONCAT()).
 Support for LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN with both standard SQL and
ODBC syntax.
 Support for aliases on tables and columns as required by standard SQL.
 Support for DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, and UPDATE to return the number of rows
that were changed (affected), or to return the number of rows matched instead by setting a
flag when connecting to the server.
 Support for MySQL-specific SHOW statements that retrieve information about databases,
storage engines, tables, and indexes. MySQL 5.0 adds support for
the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database, implemented according to standard SQL.
An EXPLAIN statement to show how the optimizer resolves a query.
 Independence of function names from table or column names. For example, ABS is a
valid column name. The only restriction is that for a function call, no spaces are permitted
between the function name and the “(” that follows it.

Security
 A privilege and password system that is very flexible and secure, and that enables host-
based verification.
 Password security by encryption of all password traffic when you connect to a server.

Scalability and Limits


 Support for large databases. We use MySQL Server with databases that contain 50
million records. We also know of users who use MySQL Server with 200,000 tables and
about 5,000,000,000 rows.

26
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Support for up to 64 indexes per table (32 before MySQL 4.1.2). Each index may consist
of 1 to 16 columns or parts of columns. The maximum index width is 767 bytes
for InnoDB tables, or 1000 for MyISAM; before MySQL 4.1.2, the limit is 500 bytes. An
index may use a prefix of a column for CHAR, VARCHAR, BLOB, or TEXT column
types.

Connectivity

 Clients can connect to MySQL Server using several protocols:


 Clients can connect using TCP/IP sockets on any platform.
 On Windows systems in the NT family (NT, 2000, XP, 2003, or Vista), clients can
connect using named pipes if the server is started with the --enable-named-pipe option. In
MySQL 4.1 and higher, Windows servers also support shared-memory connections if
started with the --shared-memory option. Clients can connect through shared memory by
using the --protocol=memory option.
 On Unix systems, clients can connect using Unix domain socket files.
 MySQL client programs can be written in many languages. A client library written in C is
available for clients written in C or C++, or for any language that provides C bindings.
 APIs for C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl are available, enabling
MySQL clients to be written in many languages.
 The Connector/ODBC (MyODBC) interface provides MySQL support for client
programs that use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connections. For example, you
can use MS Access to connect to your MySQL server. Clients can be run on Windows or
Unix. Connector/ODBC source is available. All ODBC 2.5 functions are supported, as are
many others.
 The Connector/J interface provides MySQL support for Java client programs that use
JDBC connections. Clients can be run on Windows or Unix. Connector/J source is
available.
 MySQL Connector/Net enables developers to easily create .NET applications that require
secure, high-performance data connectivity with MySQL. It implements the required
ADO.NET interfaces and integrates into ADO.NET aware tools. Developers can build
applications using their choice of .NET languages. MySQL Connector/Net is a fully
managed ADO.NET driver written in 100% pure C#.

27
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Localization
 The server can provide error messages to clients in many languages. Full support for
several different character sets, including latin1 (cp1252), german, big5, ujis, and more.
For example, the Scandinavian characters “å”, “ä” and “ö” are permitted in table and
column names. Unicode support is available as of MySQL 4.1.
 All data is saved in the chosen character set.
 Sorting and comparisons are done according to the chosen character set and collation
(using latin1 and Swedish collation by default). It is possible to change this when the
MySQL server is started. To see an example of very advanced sorting, look at the Czech
sorting code. MySQL Server supports many different character sets that can be specified
at compile time and runtime.
 As of MySQL 4.1, the server time zone can be changed dynamically, and individual
clients can specify their own time zone.

Clients and Tools

 MySQL includes several client and utility programs. These include both command-line
programs such as mysqldump and mysqladmin, and graphical programs such
as MySQL Workbench.
 MySQL Server has built-in support for SQL statements to check, optimize, and repair
tables. These statements are available from the command line through
the mysqlcheck client. MySQL also includes myisamchk, a very fast command-line
utility for performing these operations on MyISAM tables.
 MySQL programs can be invoked with the --help or -? option to obtain online assistance.

SYSTEM DESIGN

Systems design is the process or art of defining the architecture, components, modules,
interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. One could see it as the
application of systems theory to product development. There is some overlap and synergy
with the disciplines of systems analysis, systems architecture and systems engineering.

NORMALIZATION

A Database is a collection of interrelated data stored with a minimum of redundancy to


serve many applications. The database design is used to group data into a number of tables
and minimizes the artificiality embedded in using separate files. The tables are organized to:

 Reduced duplication of data.


 Simplify functions like adding, deleting, modifying data etc.,

31
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Retrieving data
 Clarity and ease of use
 More information at low cost
Normalization
Normalization is built around the concept of normal forms. A relation is said to be in a
particular normal form if it satisfies a certain specified set of constraints on the kind of
functional dependencies that could be associated with the relation. The normal forms are used
to ensure that various types of anomalies and inconsistencies are not introduced into the
database.
First Normal Form:

A relation R is in first normal form if and only if all underlying domains contained atomic
values only.

Second Normal Form:

A relation R is said to be in second normal form if and only if it is in first normal form
and every non-key attribute is fully dependent on the primary key.

Third Normal Form:

A relation R is said to be in third normal form if and only if it is in second normal form and
every non key attribute is non transitively depend on the primary key.

SYSTEM TESTING

INTRODUCTION TO TESTING

Testing is a process, which reveals errors in the program. It is the major quality
measure employed during software development. During software development. During
testing, the program is executed with a set of test cases and the output of the program for the
test cases is evaluated to determine if the program is performing as it is expected to perform.

TESTING IN STRATEGIES

In order to make sure that the system does not have errors, the different levels of testing
strategies that are applied at differing phases of software development are:

Unit Testing:

Unit Testing is done on individual modules as they are completed and become
executable. It is confined only to the designer's requirements. Each module can be tested
using the following two Strategies:

Black Box Testing:

In this strategy some test cases are generated as input conditions that fully execute all
functional requirements for the program. This testing has been uses to find errors in the
following categories:

 Incorrect or missing functions


 Interface errors
 Errors in data structure or external database access
 Performance errors
 Initialization and termination errors.
In this testing only the output is checked for correctness. The logical flow of the data is not
checked.

White Box testing:

In this the test cases are generated on the logic of each module by drawing flow graphs
of that module and logical decisions are tested on all the cases. It has been uses to generate
the test cases in the following cases:
51
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Guarantee that all independent paths have been Executed.


 Execute all logical decisions on their true and false Sides.
 Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational bounds
 Execute internal data structures to ensure their validity.
Integrating Testing:

Integration testing ensures that software and subsystems work together a whole. It tests
the interface of all the modules to make sure that the modules behave properly when
integrated together.

System Testing:

Involves in-house testing of the entire system before delivery to the user. It's aim is to
satisfy the user the system meets all requirements of the client's specifications.

Acceptance Testing:

It is a pre-delivery testing in which entire system is tested at client's site on real world
data to find errors. Testing can be done in two ways:

 Bottom up approach
 Top down approach
Bottom up Approach:

Testing can be performed starting from smallest and lowest level modules and
proceeding one at a time. For each module in bottom up testing a short program executes the
module and provides the needed data so that the module is asked to perform the way it will
when embedded within the larger system. When bottom level modules are tested attention
turns to those on the next level that use the lower level ones they are tested individually and
then linked with the previously examined lower level modules.

Top down approach:

This type of testing starts from upper level modules. Since the detailed activities usually
performed in the lower level routines are not provided stubs are written. A stub is a module
shell called by upper level module and that when reached properly will return a message to
the calling module indicating that proper interaction occurred. No attempt is made to verify
the correctness of the lower level module.

52
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Validation:

The system has been tested and implemented successfully and thus ensured that all the
requirements as listed in the software requirements specification are completely fulfilled. In
case of erroneous input corresponding error messages are displayed

53

SYSTEM SECURITY

System Security:

Setting Up Authentication for Web Applications

Introduction:
To configure authentication for a Web Application, use the <login-config> element of
the web.xml deployment descriptor. In this element you define the security realm containing
the user credentials, the method of authentication, and the location of resources for
authentication.

SECURITY IN SOFTWARE

To set up authentication for Web Applications: Open the web.xml deployment descriptor
in a text editor or use the Administration Console. Specify the authentication method using
the <auth-method> element. The available options are:

BASIC

Basic authentication uses the Web Browser to display a username/password dialog box.
This username and password are authenticated against the realm.

FORM

Form-based authentication requires that you return an HTML form containing the
username and password. The fields returned from the form elements must be: j_username and
j_password, and the action attribute must be j_security_check. Here is an example of the
HTML coding for using FORM authentication:

<form method="POST" action="j_security_check">

   <input type="text" name="j_username">


   <input type="password" name="j_password">

</form>

The resource used to generate the HTML form may be an HTML page, a JSP, or a
servlet. You define this resource with the <form-login-page> element.

54
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The HTTP session object is created when the login page is served. Therefore, the
session.isNew() method returns FALSE when called from pages served after successful
authentication.

55
EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

CONCLUSION

In this report, an information system’s development has been presented. It was emphasized
on the basic steps, consequently taken during the project’s development course as particular
attention was turned to the basic operative functions performed upon the data into the
database.

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 apay-
roll 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. 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 employee means giving the appropriate financial award-ness and all kind
of benefits as such as they have 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 of the operations that will be performed upon it.
