place , Season wise Tourist place , Traveler Details , Path Details
, necessary information regarding place , language , food culture
,currency , security, medical , banks etc.
Specific Objective of the site:
Objective of doing this project is to enhance my knowledge in
the field of on line web portal using C#, ASP.NET, AJAX as a
Technology. Some of the client requirement and objectives of this
site is as under:- To increase the business of Client.
To make it Global.
To facilitate travelers search.
To help travelers to get right deals.
To act as a middle men connecting Traveler and Service
Provider
User can search for different options available.
User can do on-line requirement posting etc.
User can use search engine to look for different options,
facilities available etc.
User can do apply for new offer.
User can download different forms etc.
So these are some of the objectives which we have to
accomplish.
Chapter 1
THE THEME
The TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL: A System of Systems
A System is simply a set of components that interact to
accomplish some purpose Systems are all around us.
A TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL is also a system. Its components
are: Admin, service, finance, Travel Agency, Traveler, and Hotel
Information, Booking information, Journey Information etc.All work
together to create a profit that benefits the Travel Agency &
Customers. Each of these components is itself a system.
A Travel Agency receives inputs, processes them & converts
them into outputs. A key objective of a TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL
is to identify what managerial information is useful & to
generate this information for facilitate both. Often raw-data can
be transformed into useful information.
Providing the right information to the right person at the right
time in a cost-effective manner typically means choosing the right
system to meet informational needs. Since different managerial
levels within an organization are involved in different types of
decisions, their informational requirements often differ as
well.
TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL Information:This WEB PORTAL actually
comprises three categories of systems. Filter System assists in
carrying out the day to day activities of the Travel Agency.
Standard operating procedures, which can facilitate handling of
transactions, are often embedded in computer programs that control
the entry of data, processing of details and storage and
presentation of data & information. Management Information
Systems are decision-oriented and utilize transaction data, as well
as other information that is developed internally and outside the
firm. Because the issues requiring the decisions often recur, it is
possible to study the decision factors and variables and develop
reports that will be useful in formulating future decision.
Decision support systems are aimed at existing customers who are
faced with unique (nonrecurring) decision problems. Decision
support systems must be flexible enough to meet but do not replace
the good judgments only the customers can take. Strategic planning
systems are used by the senior management to evaluate and analyze
the mission of the Travel Agency.
Hierarchy of Information Systems:
TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL Working Procedure:
Information needed to manage the TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL
:
1. Task
: The Travel Agency, the Customers

Representing a model of the
Travel Agency, the focus of planning and control. 4.Level
: Three levels representing the
Hierarchy of planning and control in
The Travel Agency Strategic Planning,
Management Control & Operational
Control.
5.Environment: The environment in which the Travel Agency
operates, including information
Needed to set and goals and objectives, information concerning
other external environment (Customer, Government, etc] concerning
external planning premises.

PROBLEM RECOGNITION & IDENTIFICATION
Major Function
:To establish that a problem
Exists.
Output
:Authorization to conduct a. Feasibility study
Principal Tools
:NonePersonnel & Tasks:A user & System Manager
Notifies that a problem exists.
The birth of a new system occurs when Managers or Users realize
either that an information system is needed for a new business or
that the information system for an existing business is no longer
reflective of the organizations proper function.
Problem Definition
Problems undoubtedly exist in any dynamic business. Therefore
management must take the first step while designing the system by
formulating the problems to be solved. A true system must have a
purpose that unifies its parts. For a business system this purpose
is to accomplish meaningful goals & objectives. A goal is
broadly stated purpose of the business. The task of deciding the
goals of business as a whole, leads to objectives for the general
business. From the objectives we derive plans. Associated with each
business objectives & business plan are information needs.
These information needs are problems to be solved by the System
Analyzer/ Manager. The general statements of needs are seldom clear
enough or sufficient for starting the design process. Therefore
interactive process of:
stating the information needs
asking questions about that need
suggesting in FINANCE rotations of that need
detailing the original statements
reviewing the more detailed statement of need with
management
need of information system study are very important
For system study of an organization- Programmers generally share
the following objectives:
to serve user needs
to reduce the time and money needed to develop and implement
programs
- To produce programs with minimal errors
to produce programs that are easy to implement and
Maintain.
2.2 NEED OF THIS PROJECT:This Project manages all of a Travel
Agencys activity and resources including such basic application as
general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, Travel Agency
Activity, Customers, time table, Hotel info, offers of Travel
Agency day by day etc.

Feasibility Study
Feasibility Study
Major Function
: To define the problem and
Determine whether or not A New system is feasible.
Output
:Feasibility study.
Principal Tools :Fact gathering techniques
& requirement estimationPersonnel & Tasks:1. The Analyst
collects
Information about the problem.2. The analyst develops rough
estimates for possible solutions.
3. The Analyst develops more precise estimates requirements for
the analysis phase to follow.4. Management decides whether or not
to continue the project.
By Feasibility study we mean study of current operational
systems & brief consideration of alternative ways of
computerization of these tasks. This is undertaken in the context
of economic, technical & operational issues, culminating in a
Feasibility Report, which recommends a possible solution &
comments on whether detailed analysis should commence.
The purpose of the Feasibility Study is to investigate the
present system, evaluate the possible application of computer based
methods (and also non-computer methods), select a tentative system,
evaluate the cost and effectiveness of the proposed system,
evaluate the impact of the proposed system on existing personnel,
and ascertain the need for new personnel.
Identification of need? Desired function and performance?
Reliability and quality issues?
Overall system goals?
Cost/schedule constraints?
Facilities/Training (Computer Educational) requirements?
Available technology?
Future extensions?
Development risk & resource availability?
A three dimensional approach is taken while evaluating
feasibility
Technical Feasibility
Economic Feasibility
Operational Feasibility
Technical Feasibility:
This evaluation determines whether the Technology needed for the
proposed system is available and how this Technology can be
integrated within the Organization. It consist of
1. Hardware Configuration
2. Software Specification
3. Technical Viability & Adaptability with IT Compatible
components & Equipments.
Once the Technical Feasibility is verified, the Economic
Feasibility is examined by developing cost estimates. The purpose
of this Feasibility study is to determine weather the cost of a
Computer Solution is in the right range.
Economic Feasibility:
This evaluation looks at the financial aspects of the project.
It determines weather the investment needed to implement the system
will be recovered. Basically the main aim is cost benefit analysis
which follows the fund and resource allocation along with budgetary
control.
The third dimension of the feasibility is operational
feasibility. Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be
turned into information systems that will meet the organizations
operating requirements.
Operational Feasibility:
It covers two aspects. One is a Technical Performance aspect.
The other is acceptance within the organization. Technical
performance includes issues such as determining weather system can
provide the right information for the organizations personnel and
delivers this information at the right place in time. Operational
feasibility must determine hoe the proposed system will fit in the
current operations and what, if any, job restructuring and
retraining may be needed to implement the system. The evaluation
must determine acceptance of the system by the personnel and the
general attitudes and skills of existing personnel and weather any
change is there must accept by the current users.
Feasibility Report
It consists of
General specifications for the new system describing what it is
do, how it will do it, and the resources required.

Note :
The similar types of Interview Session are used for
different
Departments & related questions help to find out the fact
which
gathered for to develop my s system.
Document Search Method
Organization uses a considerable amount of documentary evidence
and this evidence can provide the analyst with an important
in-sight into current organizational norms.
Company information can be available in the form of:
Organization Charts
Administrative Procedure Manuals
Job descriptions & specifications.
Training manuals and memoranda
Sales & promotional literature
The strategic plan & its associated Corporate appraisal will
also be significant Sources of relevant information. Information
sources are :
1. Forms & Documents - are useful sources of information for
system data flows & transactions.
2. Computer programs - can be used to determine the details of
data structures or processes.
3. System users are usually the first information source
investigated by analyst.
4. Procedure Manuals - specify what people do in an
organization
5. Reports
- source indicates the kinds of outputs needed by users.
Direct Observation Method
The data collection procedure, consist of quiet observation of
the present manual system. The information analysis will include
preparation, movement, use and storage of documents, reports,
files, records & data items. The result are found through
Direct Observation which will be :
Description of events which lead to data processing and the
response time and accuracy needed by the system user
Samples of all input, output and file documents.
Description of use of information and the processing performed
by each person receiving or issuing documents i.e. working
procedure.
Information & document flow within the organization.
Description of all files including the rate of growth, the
enquiry rate (why & whom ) and the frequency of updating (if a
master file)
From Direct Observation Method document of events, documents,
information flow and files, description of the existing system can
be organized and new system sketched out.
Idea Generation Method
Through this session establishment of new goals are done
Like information oriented flowcharts, input/output analysis
sheet and Data flow diagrams produced in the initial
investigation.
The conclusion is that :
The current manual system is inefficient
A new integrated system for production planning would be the
solution
Search Procedure for an Existing System
Activities in the System Study Cycle
1. Preliminary investigation & outcome
2. System study charter:
A detailed statement outlining the scope & objectives of the
study.
A list of personnel assigned to the study team.
Written authority for the team to perform its assigned
duties.
Permission to use the Travel Agency time for the purpose of
gathering information
A target date for the completion of all tasks & the
formal
submission of a final report.
3. Documenting Existing System
Each document will have its own cycle of creation amendment, use
& deletion. In the Idea Generation session I asked the
questions like
What event initially triggers the generation of the
document?
Who generates the document?
How it is prepared?
Where is the data derived from
Who uses the document?
For what purpose it is used?
How it is stored?
How long is kept for?
Identifying current deficiencies
Identifying Alternative Solution
The specifications include:
Output Requirements
The form, content and Frequency of output is needed
Input Requirements
The necessary new input data should be identified along with the
stored file data that are required
File & Storage Requirements
The size, contents, storage media, record formats, access
restrictions & degree of permanency of any
affected files should be known.
Processing Specifications
The procedures needed for the computer to convert input data
into desired output results should be ndicated. Manual processing
procedures should also be noted.
Control Provisions
The steps required to achieve system control should be specified
and the later system testing and implementation procedures should
be outlined
Cost estimates
Preliminary estimates of the cost of different alternatives
should be made.
Evaluation of alternative Solution
This is concerned with specifying equipment & software that
will successfully support the tasks required.
The technical needs of system will vary considerably, but
include
1.Technical Feasibility
The facility to produce outputs in a given time scale The
ability to provide certain response times under certain conditions.
The facility to input large number of documents in a limited time
scale2. Operational Feasibility
It is concerned with human, organizational & political
aspects. General impressions of these factors may be gained from
the corporate appraisal and through considerations of the system
trigger.
What job changes will the system bring ?
- through job enrichment.
What organizational structures are disturbed?
- through organizational relationship & the status of
individuals & their promotional expectations.
What new skills will be required ? Do the current Travel Agency
possess these skills ? If not, can they learn them ? How will they
take to learning ?
3.Legal Feasibility
It should be recognized that the computer brings significant
alterations to an organization. The way that an organization
manages & implements changes in other areas should be
considered when computer related changes are planned. Agreed
procedures for discussing proposals, staff consultative committee
of Hitachi KK (Unit-III) & agreement with Staff Forum are
identified and followed.
4.Hardware SolutionsIn designing the hardware system I
survey
Who are the users ?
How simple can I make the system ?
How easy is it to obtain the information needed to feed the
system ?
How many different tasks can I carry out without making the
system too complex ?
Software Solutions
Software programs, which will meet the needs of the new Model
Should be based on the following considerations:
Find the package that closely fits the needs.
Decide whether to live with the package as is ,by adapting the
business functions to the softwares specific capabilities.
Plans to have it modified as needed.
Limitation & System Development Constraint
All systems, including business, are affected by the limitations
within which they must function. Constraints are factors that limit
the solution of the problem. Some constraints are identified during
the initial investigation and are discussed with the user. The
constraints are:
Administrative Constraints
1. Management have limited knowledge of computer, do not like
the operation, so has the mental blockade to use computer,
therefore, not obliged to Information Technology & not willing
to use latest technology for processing the available
information.
2. Effect of traditionally reluctant top management authority,
dont like to give approval for using computers.
3. A Senior/Top Manager is worried that the proposed system may
require transferring of personnel from his area to some other
area.
Technical Constraints
1. As the production process is not fully automated, in certain
special cases the system may require human interference / guidance
for optimum output. Skilled personnel are best judge in certain
complex situations where he can take special decision depending
upon the situation.
2. The system may sometimes deviate from desired results due to
improper communication / synchronization between human being and
the system
3. The proposed system must be compatible with the latest
advanced /modified available technology.
4. The spares of the proposed system must be indigenously
available.
5. Lack of tele-communication facilities
6. Depending on the Operating System so cross platform
independency will be unavailable.
Design Constraint
1. Budget-High cost may not be approved by the organization.
2. Time
- Long delays may increase the cost of the project.
3.Integration-No acceptable feature is available. with other
system
4. Skills
- Limitations in knowledge.
Other Constraint
Control- Limited control of management on the Workers,
non-professional working environment, intentional harm to the
elements of the system will result in erroneous output, even
failure of the system.
Training
- Lack of proper training of the
personnel attached with the system
Material- Low quality of the material will result in erroneous
output.

SYSTEM DESIGN
INTRODUCTION:
System design phase is a transition from user-oriented document
(system proposal) to a document oriented to programmers or database
personnel. This is the pivotal point in system development life
cycle. The design is a solution, a How to approach, compared to
analysis, a What is orientation.
The design phase focuses on the detailed implementation of the
system recommended in the feasibility study. Emphasis is on
translating performance specifications into design specifications.
System design is carried out mainly in two phases Logical and
Physical design.
1. LOGICAL DESIGN:For a candidate system Data Flow Diagram
describes the inputs (source), outputs (destination), database
(data stores), and procedures (data flows) all in a format which
meets the user requirements. The Logical system design mainly
concentrates on the user needs on various levels of detail that
determines the information flow and the required data resources.
The design covers the following:
REVIEWS THE CURRENT PHYSICAL SYSTEM:
This consists of specifying Data Flows, File Content, Volumes,
Frequencies, etc.
PREPARES THE OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS:
This process determines the format, content, and frequency of
reports, including terminal specifications and locations.
PREPARES INPUT SPECIFICATIONS:
By this process the input format, content and most of the input
functions are specified. This includes the flow of the documents
from the input data source to the actual input location
PREPARES EDIT, SECURITY, AND CONTROL SPECIFICATIONS:
This includes specifying the rules for edit correction, backup
procedures, and the controls that ensure processing and file
integrity.
SPECIFIES THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND BENEFITS:
This includes cost evaluation process, target dates, benefits
from the system, and system constraints
2. PHYSICAL DESIGN:
This phase produces the working system by defining the design
specifications that tell programmers exactly what the system must
do, performs the necessary calculations through the existing file
or database, produces the report on hard copy or displays it on a
screen. Physical design consists of the following:
> Design the physical system
1. Specifying Input Output media.
2. Design the database and specify backup procedures.
3. Design Physical Information flow through the system.
>Plan system implementation:
1. Prepare a conversion schedule and a target date.
2. Determine training procedure, courses, and timetable.
>Devise a test and implementation plan and specify any new
hardware and software.
>Update benefits, costs, conversion date, and system
constraints (legal, financial, hardware, etc).
3. OBJECTIVES OF THE DESIGN:
Whenever an old system fails or dont work up to its
specification a new set of objectives has to be achieved and new
procedures have to be selected and implemented. The following
points were kept in mind while designing the new system.
1. The system should be user friendly.
2. Data security should be taken care of.
3. Reduce the redundancy of data.
4. Maintaining and updating the database easily.
5. Should be menu driven package with one entry at a time.
6. Data entry & on-line data editing through well laid out
screen format
7. Data validation whenever necessary to ensure correctness of
input data.
6.1 GRAPHICAL TOOLS:
6.1.1 CONTEXT DIAGRAM
The Top-level diagram is often called a Context Analysis
Diagram. It contains a single process, but it plays a very
important role in studying the current system. This gives just an
overview of the proposed system. The Context Analysis Diagram
defines the environment of the system that will be studied in the
sense that it determines the boundaries between the different
modules. Anything that is not inside the process identified in the
context diagram will not be part of the system study.

6.1.2 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM
This is the graphical tool in the hands of the System Analyst
being a pictorial representation of fact regarding the flow of
information or transformation.
A data flow diagram (DFD) shows the flow of data through a
system. The system may be an organization, a manual procedure, a
software system, a mechanical system, a hardware system, or any
combination of these. A data flow diagram shows the movement of
data through the different transactions or processes in the
system.
A data flow diagram might represent data flow between individual
statements or blocks of statements in a routine. Unlike flow
charts, data flow diagrams do not indicate decision logic or
condition under which various processing nodes in the diagram might
be activated. It provides an overview of major decomposition of the
system. The Graphical representation called Bubble Chart can be
expanded to a hierarchy of diagrams giving more and more
details.

6.2 DATA DICTIONARY
Data dictionary is a structured repository of date called
Metadata, a list of terms and their definition for all data items
and data stored in a system. During the physical design of the
conceptual model of data, it is necessary to group data items into
number of tables. Tables are designed to:
1. Reduce duplication of data.
2. Simplify updating of data.
3. Easy retrieval of data.
During database design, normalization is used to minimize the
data redundancy. Normalization is the process of simplifying the
relation so that the criteria of the bad database are reduced.
Data structure is refined through normalization. Data are
grouped in the simplest way possible so that the later changes can
be made within a minimum of impact in the data structure.
The database and the table that were designed for the
EntFINANCErise Asset Management System is as follows:

SYSTEM TESTING AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION
INTRODUCTION:
System testing is a very much essential before actual
implementation of the system. All kinds of errors and
incompatibility must be removed before it is ready for user
acceptance testing. If all parts of the system is correct, then
only the system objectives is successfully achieved.
First test of the system is to see whether it produces correct
output or not. No other test can be more crucial than this. Some of
the tests, which have been performed, are given below.
1.VOLUME TESTING:
In this test, we create as many records as would normally be
required to verify the proper functioning of the hardware and
software. The user is asked to provide test data for volume
testing. In the system, a huge amount of records were being tested
and the test output shows that the system can hold an amount of
data required by the firm.
2.STRESS TESTING:
The stress testing is to provide that the system does not
malfunction under peak loads.
3.RECOVERY TESTING:
A forced system failure is induced to test back-up recovery
procedure for the integrating files. Inaccurate data are entered to
see the system responses in terms of error deduction and
production, related to file integrity.
4.UNIT TESTING:
Unit testing focuses on verification efforts on the smallest
unit of software designed i.e. the modules. Using the detail design
description as a guide, important control paths are tested to
uncover the error within the scope of the modules. The relative
complexity of the test and uncovered error is limited by the
constraint scope established for unit testing. The user tested each
data entry screen by entering test data. Few errors and faults that
were found at the time of data entry were removed.
5. INTEGRATION TESTING:
Integration testing is technique for constructing the program
structure while at the same time conducting the test error
associated with it. The objective is to take unit-tested module and
build a program structure that has been dictated by design.
In this phase the user enters series of test data and tests the
entire software module. As there is some relation between module
the user tests the software to see whether all the relations were
satisfied or not.
6. USABILITY DOCUMENTATION AND PROCEDURE:
The usability test verifies the friendly nature of the system.
It also tests whether an unknown user can handle the system failure
or not. The crucial phase of the system life cycle is the
successful implementation of the new system design into operation.
This involves creating computer compatible files, training of the
staff that will operate the system and installing hardware before
the system is set up for running.
7. TESTING OF INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS:
Each programs completed during the programming development stage
were tested at the time of coding, and necessary changes were made
to make sure that the program is working properly. For example the
procedure developed in the authorization module for testing user is
as follows which is fired as soon as the user enter his password in
the opening screen of TOUR AND TRAVEL WEB PORTAL
CREATING TEST DATA
Though some test data created during individual program
development were not sufficient for testing the system as a whole,
during the time of system testing all types of checking has been
done depending upon situation by considering different sets of
data.
After successful completion of the individual forms the whole
system was run through a series of test, to ensure the proper
working of the system as a whole. The effects of testing the entire
program is to verify that the programs are working properly and
according to the users need and specification that were made during
the system study.
USER TRAINING:
No need of training.Chapter 8CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPES
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPES:
The efficiency and performance of any organization can be
improved by streamlining the information and by quick decision
making at all levels. This helps in improving the overall
performance of the organization.
This system is made in such a way that any Travel Agency can use
it according to their requirements and changes can be made without
any difficulty.
The database files and their format can be more generalized to
include information. with slight modifications in the forms and
code to make it a full-fledged information system tracking each and
every asset of an organization.
