2.1 Introduction Literature Review

Cheque Generator is an enterprise-level cheque printing software that provides a

multi-user

environment to print and manage your cheques. Cheque Generator provides a complete cheque printing which can print all the cheque elements; include Payee, Date, Amount, A/C Payee Only, Bearer, etc. You are no need to write any, just fill in the software and print the cheque. The cheque is ready to issue once sign. Cheque Generator supports different types of printers, Laser, Inkjet, and Dot-Matrix printers. All issued cheques are kept in records and listed in the cheque book. The cheques issued history can be tracked easily. You can also move to-and-fro to review your issued cheque. Payee report and account report give you every detail about the issued cheque. It is simple to manage the issue of cheques in accordance with banking procedures. ChequePrinting.Net allows you to create multiple users to access the software. There are two types of user: Administrator and General User . The multi-user environment allows different user to access the same set of data in a centralized database. It is very easy to use GUI interface. Once the formatting is done, you just have to provide basic information like client name, bank name, date and amount (numeric). Cheque Generator Software is compatible with any printer and is very fast in printing. Cheques are widely used in modern day financial transaction. Cheque generator software is a computer program that can easily create and print beautiful checks simply by entering the desired data into the blank fields in the computer program. It has a feature like password protection, check preview, security system that reduces user error. This software enables secure, flexible, and cost effective solutions for cheque printing.

2.2 Non-Financial:

The Admin (Head of the Organization) should be able to create the user profiles like

the login id and the password for the users and as well he alone has the right to declare and modify the information of the users and even he can issue the cheque to the users.user can oly view the details regarding issued cheque.

The user can only enter and check the details of the issued cheque and as well he can

change the password or even he can update his details. He can also see the details of the cheque issued ,date of issuing and further details of the cheque . But he cannot access the details of the other useres as he is not authorized for it.

This product is developed for better Business look. Especially for Personnel, Offices, Small Business, MLM Companies, Doctors, CA, Search for any cheque is possible.. Easy to use. Cheques history provides the cheque register to view. Unlimited Payee Records. Advanced search option is needed to be included so as to fetch the details of the cheque The details of the users, no of cheques issued and various other details are needed to be

Lawyers, Trusts, Clubs, Hotels, Hospitals etc

issued.

maintained with the help of the database.

2.3 Financial
The application software should charge on cartridge refilling of the printer including software deployment , maintenance and time to time updating cost by the developer.

2.4 Functional Requirements

Full payment during the deployment of the application software by the developer The admin has the right to access all the pages of the website The user will only be able to access the details of specific pages of the website like he can

only view the status of cheque issued and even update the status. Also the user has the password as the combination of his first name and fathers name for

logging in to his a/c and as well he can update his profile and the profile thus change can be altered only after the admin agrees for it.

or not.

A database to store all the details cheque issued as well as all the details of the user and

admin.using all the details one can check whether a particular cheque is issued to a specific person The project needs printer as a hardware requirement for printing the cheques. The User can change his or her password by using change password facility.

2.5 Non Functional Requirements

Shows all the reports of cheque issued to whom on which date. The GUI Interface is easy to understand and work on . For the preview of the report system will take some time but if we consider the overall performance it is good. System is reliable to a great extent and provide the admin with overall view of the cheque transactions. Confidentiality of each and every user is maintained to a great extent since this application s/w has different view for admin and users.

Financial constraint is fully satisfied according to the end user.

3.1 Problem Statement

This project is aimed at developing an application software that can be used in any large enterprise where it is difficult to maintain the no of cheque issued per day with all the details like whom cheque is paid to, all the details of the payee etc. The project is an application software that can be accessed by two set of users. This system can be used for maintaining all the details related to issued cheque by the organization which is using it. There are additional features like weekly report generators using the database to keep a hard copy of the record as well in case if backup of database is not present etc in this system.

3.1.1 Description of present situation The application software allows to edit cheque print text, e.g., Not Transferable. It has Simplified Registration Process. Printed cheque cannot be edited and deleted. Cheque number cannot be duplicated except VOID cheque. Print out quality is greatly enhanced which gives clear and precise printing. When a cheque is printed again, alert will be prompted. When a void cheque is printed, alert will be prompted . Date format is specific and during printing of cheque it will take the date from system. Compatible with Windows Xp ,Windows 7,Windows vista and Windows 98 but there will be speed problem with windows 98 software will take more time as compared to other to preview the cheque and reports.It provides with an upgraded run-time kernel. It gives performance Enhancement facilities on Loading and Parsing Documents. Fine tune database kernel to enhance performance and resolve database locking issue. Give the preview of cheque and record with great performance.

3.1.2 Brief description of goal Now we want an application software to be incorporated in the systems of large organizations to customize their work . It should be a convenient tool which allow to create the cheques and print a no of cheque with a great performance. It should provides a complete cheque printing which can print all the cheque elements; include Payee, Date, Amount, A/C Payee Only, Bearer, etc. One need not to write anything , just fill the details requied in the software and print the cheque. It should be a easy and powerful search tools enable to search and find a Cheque with full details .Payee list management should be done for any future correspondance .Before printing approval for every Cheque is required .Keeps record of all issued/non-issued, cleared/uncleared Cheques. Detailed reports shoule be a feature.It should update the cheque book status .If during the print event of any cheque the current supply is terminated or because of any other reason if the system is off then when the current supply is again started one can print that cheque.It should be user-friendly, fast , secure ,flexible, powerfull and relaible. Makes the work results more accurate than manual cheque making.

3.3 Description of users and their role

3.3.1 Admin The Admin (Head of the Organization) should be able to create the user profiles like the login id and the password for the employees and as well he alone has the right to declare and modify the charges. 3.3.2 User The employee can only enter or edit the details of the deliverables and as well he can change the password or even he can update his details. He can also see the details of the charges, contact information based on the location, and the pin codes of the location. But he cannot access the details of the other employees as he is not authorized for it.

4.1 Technical Aspects of the System

4.1.1 Auto-Increment Fields are Indispensable If you are designing a database, make sure that you add an auto-incriminating identity field to every table. Its a fastest, easiest and least error-prone way to assign a unique identification number to every record. If you create a table without a unique identification column, you will have trouble when you need to select that specific row for deletion or updates. 4.1.2 Accessing Data the Easy Way The easy way to access data is to perform all your database operations manually and Not worry about maintaining disconnected information. This model is closest to traditional ADO programming, and it allows you to side-step potential concurrency problems, which result when multiple users try to update information at once. The application should alone calculate the details of the charges based on the type of service, destination location, and as well based on the weight of the deliverable. If a customer chooses for the VPP service he need not pay at the time of dropping the deliverable at the organization as it will be charged at the time of delivering at the destination address

4.7 Testing
4.7.1 Introduction A project is incomplete without successful testing. A successful system design helps in efficient testing. Testing is vital to the success of a system. 4.7.2 Objective Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error. A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as-yet-undiscovered error. A successful test case is one that uncovers an as-yet-undiscovered error.

Testing is applicable to our project, in the form of the following techniques. Testing is done in each and every module so that the customer can by the models without any loop holes and security is maintained throughout the transaction.

4.7.3 Testing Techniques Different types of testing applicable to our project are: Unit Testing. Integrated Testing. Acceptance Testing.

16

4.7.3.1 Unit Testing In this testing each sub module was tested individually with the test data and then integrated in to the overall system. The modules dynamic loading and customer cart. These modules contain several sub modules that are necessary for unit testing. 4.7.3.2 Integrated Testing Integrated testing is carried systematically for constructing the program structure while at the same conducting tests to uncover errors associated with interfacing. The modules discussed here are interrelated i.e. One module can have effect on another module .So, in unit testing each sub modules are tested for accuracy and error free. Here all modules are combined and tested as a whole. 4.7.3.3 Acceptance testing: Acceptance testing is performed to do real life testing of the data to the client. The need for acceptance testing is the find overall system performance. The objective is to obtain customer satisfaction and build up customer loyalty and goodwill. 4.7.4 SDLC, Deployment & Debugging 4.7.4.1 Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The development processes specify the major development and quality assurance activities that need to be performed in the project, and hence form the core of the software development processes. The key activities that have to be part of any software development activity:
Requirements Definition: During the requirements definition activity or phase, a

requirements definition team prepares the requirements document and completes a draft of

17

the functional specifications for the system. This should identify the intended use performance expected from the system as visualized by the user. System Requirements Review (SRR) can be planned at the end of this activity to evaluate the requirements. An implementation plan can be prepared describing the plan to build the software.
Requirements Analysis: The next activity is requirement analysis, during which the

development team classifies each specification and performs functional or object-oriented analysis. Working with the requirements definition team, developers resolve ambiguities, discrepancies and to-be-determined (TBD) specifications, producing a final version of the functional specifications document and a requirements analysis report. This phase is concluded with a Software Specification Review (SSR), at which the results of the analysis are presented for evaluation. The base lined functional specifications forms a contract between the requirements definition team and the software development team, and are the starting point for preliminary design.
Preliminary Design: Members of the development team produce a Preliminary Design

Report (PDR) in which they define the software system architecture and specify the major subsystems, input/output (I/O) interface, and processing modes. The preliminary design review (PDR), conducted at the end of this activity provides an opportunity to evaluate the design presented by the development team.
Detailed Designed: The System architecture defined during the previous phase is

elaborated in greater detail, to the level of subroutines. The development team fully describes user input, system output; I/O files, and inter-module interfaces. The corresponding documentation, including complete baseline diagrams, makes up the detailed design document. At the critical Design Review (CDR), the detailed design is evaluated o determine if the levels of detail and completeness are sufficient for coding to begin.
Implementation: During implementation (code, unit testing, and integration) activity. the

development team codes the required modules using the detailed design document. The

18

system grows as new modules are coded, tested, and integrated. The developers also revise and test reused modules and integrate them into the evolving system. Implementation is complete when all code is integrated, and when supporting documents (system test plan and draft users guide) are written.
System Testing: This activity involves the functional testing of end-to end system

capabilities according to the system test plan. The development team validates the completely integrated system and produces a preliminary system description document. The end of this activity requires successful completion of tests.
Maintenance and operation: Maintenance and operation are the important and unavoidable

activities that begin when acceptance testing ends. The system becomes the responsibility of the maintenance and operation group. For some support software, the maintenance and operation phase may be very active due to changing user needs.

4.7.4.2 Deployment

All Software development organization will have to carry out these activities if they have to develop a product. The sequence and detailed level of these activities will depend on the nature of the project and application, the methods and tools to be used, and the controls and deliverables that are required. All the modules done in the Cheque Generator have been deployed successfully. Only minor changes have adapted after the deployment process which doesnt change the progress of the project in any way. All the modules have worked as per the description after deployment.

Debugging Need For Debugging: Before an application can be successfully deployed, all syntax errors and semantic errors need to be completely eliminated. Software should be tested before it is considered completely reliable. This process of testing software should an integral part of the software development process. However, while testing will help identify whether the output is correct or not, it will not help to identify where exactly the error occurred. This is where debugging comes in the picture. The fundamental principal of debugging is confirmation. Finding the bug is process of confirming many things that the developer believes are true until the developer finds one which is not true.

Types of Errors: Syntax Errors: Syntax errors are the most obvious types of errors that come across while coding. These arise when the programmer does not follow the rules of the language while writing code. Runtime Errors: Run time errors occur when the application attempts to perform an operation that is not possible to carry out. These types of errors happen at run-time. Procedure of Debugging:

20

Typically most programmers try to isolate a problem by calling output functions to print some message to indicate that the code up to that point is executing perfectly. These functions may also be used to track and display the value of a variable within the program. This is a valid debugging technique. However, the tedious part is that once the problem has been located and fixed, all these extra function calls need to be removed from the entire code. This becomes quite a tedious process. To simplify this, most programming languages and tools provide debuggers that enable programmer to observe the run-time behavior of a program, track values of variables and identify the location of semantic errors. The benefit of using a debugger is that values of variables can be inspected without inserting any output statements to display them, Visual Studio.NET provides a debugger that the programmer can use to debug code written in one of the .NET supported languages. It provides the programmer with means to evaluate and edit variables, suspend or pause program execution view contents of registers and view the memory space consumed by the application. The VS.NET debugger provides several windows to monitor program execution. Some of the windows which are useful while debugging are: Locals Window Watch Window Quick Watch dialog box Immediate window Each of these windows is explained in the sections that follow: Locals Window: The local Window displays the values present in the local variables. It lists only the variables that are within the current scope (that is, the method being executed) and tracks their values. Watch Window: The watch window is used to evaluate variables and expressions and track their values through the program. It can be also be used to edit the value of a variable.

21

Quick Watch Dialog Box: The Quick Watch Dialog Box can be used to quickly evaluate or expression. The value of a variable can also be modified via this dialog box. Immediate Window: The immediate mode of the Command Window can be used for checking the value of a variable, for assigning a value to a variable as well as to run a line of code.
