The main objective of this project is to computerize various phases of

counseling, from form submission of an candidate till allotment of the

college. Various steps involved are:

Form Submission

Student Database

Acknowledgement and Reporting

Merit list and College Allotment Detail

This project is helpful in conducting exams and providing appropriate

results online.

This project makes the process of counseling less time consuming and

easy for those who are more or less dependent on technology for their

daily problems.

The main purpose of Online Counseling System is to provide a way for

easy and fruitful management of all the components included in

counseling.

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT:-

The main purpose of our project is to provide a way for easy and fruitful

management of all the components included in counseling.

As developers we have perceived the information as:-

To provide a counseling service for the students.

It manages the database of the students on the basis of secondary and

senior secondary.

To allot colleges according to merit list.

To maintain a final allotment list for the students.

FEATURES OF THE PROJECT:-

Reporting or Registering section:-

The student can register its data through a login id which is unique

for every student and a separate database is maintained for each user.

Examination section:-

All the students are allotted an examination centre along with their

respective details and exam is conducted with respect to the allotted

centre and further the result is declared.

Final allotment:-

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS AND LANGUAGES:-

Languages Used:

HTML

Javascript

PHP

Platform Used:

XAMPP

Database:

MySQL

INTRODUCTION TO PHP:-

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

language that was originally designed for web-development to produce

dynamic web-pages.

For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source documentand interpreted by a web-server with a php processor module, which

generates the web page document.

There are three main areas where PHP scripts are used:

Server-side scripting


5/24

Command line scripting

Writing desktop applications

PLATFORM USED:-

XAMPP is an open source cross-platform web server package, consisting

mainly of Apache HTTP server, MySQL database, and interpreters for

scripts written in PHP and Perl programming languages.

XAMPPs name is an acronym for:

X(meaning Cross-platform)

Apache HTTP server

MySQL

PHP

Perl

Input Design:-

The input design is a crucial part of any system errors. Inaccurate input

data are the most common cause of the errors in the processing. Data entry errors can be

controlled by input design. Input design is the process of converting user-oriented inputs

to computerbased formats .the goal of designing input data is to make data entry as

easy, logical and free from errors as possible.

Output Design : -

Computer output is the most important and direct source of information

to the users. Efficient intelligible output design should improve the systems relationship

with the user and help in decision making. A major form of output is a hard copy fromthe printer. In the system under consideration, the output is in two forms, hard copy from

the printer and output to the CRT screen in predefined format.

Prior to the actual implementation of the system it had to be tested comprehensively and everypossible error uncovered. Since it is not possible to test the system exhaustively,the black boxtesting method was used for system testing. The black box testing usually demonstrates that

software functions are operational; that the input is properly acceptedand the output iscorrectly produced; and that integrity of external information(databases) is maintained.

Table 1.1 outlines the tests that were performed on the system to ensure correctness and unearth

errors which were subsequently debugged.

Unit Testing: -Unit Testing will be done to test field validations, navigation, functionality of theprograms and its blocks. These tests are applied on various functions within each

program and other critical program blocks.

Table 1.2 outline sample test case for Unit Testing performed on the system.

Testing Phase Objectives

Unit

Testing

The various functions within each program and the

program blocks are tested for proper working.

ModuleTesting

A module is composed of various programs related tothat module. Module testing is done to check the

module functionality and interaction between units

within a module

Integration

Testing

Integration testing is done to test the functionality and

interfacing between the modules.

Acceptance

Testing

Acceptance testing is done after implementation to

check if the system runs successfully in the customerenvironment/site.

Table 1.2 Unit Testing- Test Case 1:

Module Testing: -

Module testing will be done to test the interaction between the various programs within

one module. It checks the functionality of each program with relation to other programs

within the same module. It then tests the overall functionality of each module.

Table 1.3 outline sample test case for Module Testing performed on the system

Table 1.3 Module Testing Test Case 1: -

Test Case Description: This test case deals with the creation of Student

information. The creation program takes many inputs. The test should check for

proper inputs and verify whether the creation function is called properly with thecorrect input parameters.

Expected Inputs:

Student details for reporting from the user (Counseling).

Expected Outputs:

Alert window for erroneous inputs.

Confirmation of Student Counseling.

Actual Test Results:

An alert window was shown whenever the user gave some erroneousdata, such as entering numbers in the name field, entering characters in

numeric fields.

Test Case Description:

This test case deals with the module creation in the Counseling module.

Expected Inputs:

Student details for Counseling.

Expected Outputs:

This new module should appear in the insertion /Registration

programs.


The new module appears in the insertion /Registration programs.


14/24

Integration Testing:

Integration testing is done to test the functionality and interfacing between the modules.

The system is built up of various modules which work together to automate the activities.

These modules should work together in a seamless way to achieve the desired results.

Integration testing will test for this property of the modules. The modules display a causeand effect relationship, if data in one module is changed, then it affects the data to change

in some other module also. Integration testing needs to check if the modifications do not

adversely affect some other modules.

Table 1.4 Integration TestingTest Case 1:

Test Case Description:

This test case deals with the Counseling module. After the Student

Reporting and final counseling.

Expected Inputs:

Student Roll No, Rank and category for confirmation.

Expected Outputs:

The student must be confirmation Counseling.


Once the details are registered Student and on seeing the details

the Counseling module, the student record details are displayed.


15/24

Acceptance Testing:

Acceptance testing was done after the implementation of the system. The acceptancetesting will check if the system works correctly in the user environment and if all the user

specified functionalities are present. It also tests if the system adheres to the company

policies and quality standard.

Conclusions:-

This was the first considerably large and important project undertaken by us during our B.Techcourse. It was an experience that changed the way we perceived project development. The

coding could not be started before the whole system was completely finalized. Even then therewere so many changes required and the coding needed to be changed. We attribute this to

inadequate information gathering from the user. Though there were many meetings with the

user and most of the requirements were gathered, a few misinterpretations of the requirementsstill crept in. It made us realize how important the systems analysis phase is. The project is a

classic example for the adage that learning of concepts needs to be supplemented with

application of that knowledge.

On the whole it was a wonderful experience developing this project and we would have

considered our education. incomplete without undertaking such a project which allowed us to

apply all that we have learnt.

Future Scope:-

Scope of the project can be stated as follows:

This software can be used by any college, school or any other educational institute forthe purpose of counseling of the students.

Using this project any educational organization can conduct entrance examinations ofother courses as well.

Changes can be made to this project as per user requirements.
