Here are the features of leave management software: 9|P ag e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya 1. Information shared only among authorized employees and managers leads to more effective communication and improved teamwork. 2. Provides accurate information about employees’ scheduled absences, shifts, performance, and reason for leaves, wherever they might be located. It helps an organization to meet its objectives in time, whether internal or external customer services are the issue. Meeting those objectives depends on timely feedback on employee absences from the leave management software. 3. Controls the use of paid leave and helps you to understand who is available and why. This information allows you to better plan for increases in absences. It enables you to plan their work based on accurate information, e.g., arranging pay and break schedules accordingly. 4. Workflow tools like rescheduling an employee’s shift, approving an absence, and requesting time off can be completed from a single point using a single login by users with individual permission levels, thus making it easier to manage the employees and leaves more effectively. 5. It gives continuous feedback so that future notifications of absences can be prepared and scheduled in advance to help manage absences in an organization, thus helping to improve effectiveness. 10 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya PROCESS MODELS USED WITH JUSTIFICATION ACCESS CONTROL FOR DATA WHICH REQUIRE USER AUTHENTICATION The following commands specify access control identifiers and they are typically used to authorize and authenticate the user (command codes are shown in parentheses) USER NAME (USER) The user identification is that which is required by the server for access to its file system. This command will normally be the first command transmitted by the user after the control connections are made (some servers may require this). PASSWORD (PASS) This command must be immediately preceded by the user name command, and, for some sites, completes the user's identification for access control. Since password information is quite sensitive, it is desirable in general to "mask" it or suppress type out. 11 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya INPUT AND OUTPUT The main inputs, outputs and major functions of the system are as follows Inputs: • Admin enters his or her user id and password. • Employee enter his or her user id and password. • Employee send request for Leave. • Employee can check for status for Leave. • Admin can edit the employee details and so on.. Outputs: • Admin gets his homepage. • Employee get his homepage. • Employee leave request data will be stored in database.. • Displays leave Status. • Admin view employee details. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT OUTPUT DESIGN 12 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Outputs from computer systems are required primarily to communicate the results of processing to users. They are also used to provides a permanent copy of the results for later consultation. The various types of outputs in general are: • External Outputs, whose destination is outside the organization. • Internal Outputs whose destination is with in organization and they are the • User’s main interface with the computer. • Operational outputs whose use is purely with in the computer department. • Interface outputs, which involve the user in communicating directly with 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. For Example 13 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Will decimal points need to be inserted Should leading zeros be suppressed. 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. • 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 hot 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. INPUT DESIGN 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. 14 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya • To achive 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 • 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. 15 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya 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 directly keyed in by the user, the keyboard can be considered to be the most suitable input device. ERROR AVOIDANCE 16 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya At this stage care is to be taken to ensure that input data remains accurate form the stage at which it is recorded upto the stage in which the data is accepted by the system. This can be achieved only by means of careful control each time the data is handled. ERROR DETECTION Even though every effort is make to avoid the occurrence of errors, still a small proportion of errors is always likely to occur, these types of errors can be discovered by using validations to check the input data. DATA VALIDATION Procedures are designed to detect errors in data at a lower level of detail. Data validations have been included in the system in almost every area where there is a possibility for the user to commit errors. The system will not accept invalid data. Whenever an invalid data is keyed in, the system immediately prompts the user and the user has to again key in the data and the system will accept the data only if the data is correct. Validations have been included where necessary. The system is designed to be a user friendly one. In other words the system has been designed to communicate effectively with the user. The system has been designed with pop up menus. USER INTERFACE DESIGN It is essential to consult the system users and discuss their needs while designing the user interface: USER INTERFACE SYSTEMS CAN BE BROADLY CLASIFIED AS: 1. User initiated interface the user is in charge, controlling the progress of the user/computer dialogue. In the computer-initiated interface, the computer selects the next stage in the interaction. 2. Computer initiated interfaces 17 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya In the computer initiated interfaces the computer guides the progress of the user/computer dialogue. Information is displayed and the user response of the computer takes action or displays further information. USER_INITIATED INTERGFACES User initiated interfaces fall into tow approximate classes: 1. Command driven interfaces: In this type of interface the user inputs commands or queries which are interpreted by the computer. 2. Forms oriented interface: The user calls up an image of the form to his/her screen and fills in the form. The forms oriented interface is chosen because it is the best choice. COMPUTER-INITIATED INTERFACES The following computer – initiated interfaces were used: 1. The menu system for the user is presented with a list of alternatives and the user chooses one; of alternatives. 2. Questions – answer type dialog system where the computer asks question and takes action based on the basis of the users reply. Right from the start the system is going to be menu driven, the opening menu displays the available options. Choosing one option gives another popup menu with more options. In this way every option leads the users to data entry form where the user can key in the data. ERROR MESSAGE DESIGN: 18 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya The design of error messages is an important part of the user interface design. As user is bound to commit some errors or other while designing a system the system should be designed to be helpful by providing the user with information regarding the error he/she has committed. This application must be able to produce output at different modules for different inputs. 19 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya STRATEGIC APPROACH TO SOFTWARE TESTING The software engineering process can be viewed as a spiral. Initially system engineering defines the role of software and leads to software requirement analysis where the information domain, functions, behavior, performance, constraints and validation criteria for software are established. Moving inward along the spiral, we come to design and finally to coding. To develop computer software we spiral in along streamlines that decrease the level of abstraction on each turn. A strategy for software testing may also be viewed in the context of the spiral. Unit testing begins at the vertex of the spiral and concentrates on each unit of the software as implemented in source code. Testing progress by moving outward along the spiral to integration testing, where the focus is on the design and the construction of the software architecture. Talking another turn on outward on the spiral we encounter validation testing where requirements established as part of software requirements analysis are validated against the software that has been constructed. Finally we arrive at system testing, where the software and other system elements are tested as a whole. UNIT TESTING Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design, the module. The unit testing we have is white box oriented and some modules the steps are conducted in parallel. WHITE BOX TESTING This type of testing ensures that  All independent paths have been exercised at least once  All logical decisions have been exercised on their true and false sides  All loops are executed at their boundaries and within their operational bounds  All internal data structures have been exercised to assure their validity. To follow the concept of white box testing we have tested each form .we have created independently to verify that Data flow is correct, All conditions are exercised to check their validity, All loops are executed on their boundaries. BASIC PATH TESTING 20 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Established technique of flow graph with Cyclomatic complexity was used to derive test cases for all the functions. The main steps in deriving test cases were: Use the design of the code and draw correspondent flow graph. Determine the Cyclomatic complexity of resultant flow graph, using formula: V(G)=E-N+2 or V(G)=P+1 or V(G)=Number Of Regions Where V(G) is Cyclomatic complexity, E is the number of edges, N is the number of flow graph nodes, P is the number of predicate nodes. Determine the basis of set of linearly independent paths. CONDITIONAL TESTING In this part of the testing each of the conditions were tested to both true and false aspects. And all the resulting paths were tested. So that each path that may be generate on particular condition is traced to uncover any possible errors. DATA FLOW TESTING This type of testing selects the path of the program according to the location of definition and use of variables. This kind of testing was used only when some local variable were declared. The definition-use chain method was used in this type of testing. These were particularly useful in nested statements. LOOP TESTING 21 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya In this type of testing all the loops are tested to all the limits possible. The following exercise was adopted for all loops:  All the loops were tested at their limits, just above them and just below them.  All the loops were skipped at least once.  For nested loops test the inner most loop first and then work outwards.  For concatenated loops the values of dependent loops were set with the help of connected loop.  Unstructured loops were resolved into nested loops or concatenated loops and tested as above. Each unit has been separately tested by the development team itself and all the input have been validated. 22 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya System Security - EMPLOYEE LEAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT 9.1. Introduction The protection of computer based resources that includes hardware, software, data, procedures and people against unauthorized use or natural Disaster is known as System Security. System Security can be divided into four related issues: • Security • Integrity • Privacy • Confidentiality SYSTEM SECURITY refers to the technical innovations and procedures applied to the hardware and operation systems to protect against deliberate or accidental damage from a defined threat. DATA SECURITY is the protection of data from loss, disclosure, modification and destruction. SYSTEM INTEGRITY refers to the power functioning of hardware and programs, appropriate physical security and safety against external threats such as eavesdropping and wiretapping. 23 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya PRIVACY defines the rights of the user or organizations to determine what information they are willing to share with or accept from others and how the organization can be protected against unwelcome, unfair or excessive dissemination of information about it. CONFIDENTIALITY is a special status given to sensitive information in a database to minimize the possible invasion of privacy. It is an attribute of information that characterizes its need for protection. 24 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Conclusion of the Project Employee Leave Management System: Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs to manage their project work. Several user friendly coding have also adopted. This package shall prove to be a powerful package in satisfying all the requirements of the school. The objective of software planning is to provide a frame work that enables the manger to make reasonable estimates made within a limited time frame at the beginning of the software project and should be updated regularly as the project progresses. 25 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Future Scope of the Project: In a nutshell, it can be summarized that the future scope of the project circles around maintaining information regarding:  We can add printer in future.  We can give more advance software for Employee Leave Management System including more facilities  We will host the platform on online servers to make it accessible worldwide  Integrate multiple load balancers to distribute the loads of the system  Create the master and slave database structure to reduce the overload of the database queries  Implement the backup mechanism for taking backup of codebase and database on regular basis on different servers The above mentioned points are the enhancements which can be done to increase the applicability and usage of this project. Here we can maintain the records of Employee and Leave. Also, as it can be seen that now-a-days the players are versatile, i.e. so there is a scope for introducing a method to maintain the Employee Leave Management System. Enhancements can be done to maintain all the Employee, Leave, Company, Payroll, Salary. We have left all the options open so that if there is any other future requirement in the system by the user for the enhancement of the system then it is possible to implement them.In the last we would like to thanks all the persons involved in the development of the system directly or indirectly. We hope that the project will serve its purpose for which it is develop there by underlining success of process. 26 | P a g e Employee Leave Management System | Kamal Acharya Reference Acharya, Kamal.
