ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It was a great experience working on the project of “System Development Methods”. We
express our heartiest gratitude towards those who were constantly involved with us during
our project. APIIT SD India, Panipat, will always occupy a special place in our heart,
throughout our career, for both personal and professional reasons.

The phenomenon remains same that no project ever can be executed proficiently and
efficiently without sharing the meticulous ideas, technical expertise and innovative thoughts
put forwarded by the technical and non-technical veterans.

Whenever a technical project is developed, eventually it requires conductive technical
environment and technical guidance to get involved in the assigned project enthusiastically.
We are also grateful to all the APIITIAN lecturers for being extremely friendly and co-
operative during the entire course of our project. Their continuous help and support made the
project much easy.

There are no exact words to express our regards and legitimate gratitude to one of our
esteemed techno personality, without him this project could not get an entrance towards the
execution. Mr. Ankur Singla is the pioneer who availed this magnificent option to us to
move ahead. He has always inspired and guided us for the right track to be followed for all
the system analysis section of this project. We are indebted to him for giving us this great
opportunity to pursue our 6th semester project.

Lastly, we would like to thank all those whose names may not have appeared here but whose
contribution has not gone unnoticed. We would like to thank all of them, for their help in
various ways.

INTRODUCTION
Technology is constantly changing. Society as we know it depends on this fact. That which
we take for granted today would have been the stuff of science fiction as little as fifty years
ago. In fifty years time, we will doubtless be excited, perturbed and baffled by yet more new
developments. In the early years of the twenty first century, it is computers and the Internet
that have captured the public imagination, and found their way into not just the working
environments, but increasingly into the domestic spaces.

In this modern society, if we are not capable to cope up with these changes than we are not
going to stand or survive anywhere in this technical world. Today there is no place for errors,
so as to make a system more effective and efficient we need such technology where error
prone chances must be least.

In the scenario of the assignment, we are required to develop a web-based application on Job
Portal Management System. In this time of recession where everyone, is either experienced
or fresher, is in search for a job. This job portal can prove to be very helpful since it allows
users of different profile to upload their CVs, search job on the basis of their qualification.
Every user can access through user id and apply for multiple jobs at a time.

Currently, we are working on a manual system where data is stored in the form of registers.
Viewing available jobs, or applying for the job at the agency can be done for which job
seekers has to go to the agency and check the available jobs at the agency. Job seekers check
the list of jobs available and apply the job. Then the agency will show available jobs for the
job seeker for his qualifications and then updates the jobs database. The developed Job Portal
management system is web-based which Requires Employee Registration & Profiles, Job
Search, Employer Registration & Profiles, and Subscription Option for both Employee and
Employer etc. Employer can add Own Profile and post jobs and Job Seeker can Search Jobs
based on Geographical Area (Country, State, and City), Qualification, and Company wise or
on the Basis of Experience and Expertise wise.



Purpose
The purpose of designing the online job portal is to give the job seekers a platform for finding
a right and a satisfactory job according to their qualification. It also connects the job seekers
with the major agencies.
It also provides Jobs portal for Job Seekers to submit their CV and apply for job posting and
Employer can select best Employees from Available CV based on their payment option
selection. This is basically a Job portal where job Seeker applies for jobs and employer post
jobs and select prospective applicant.
Job portal is prepared for provide all categories of job and help to get various type of job. The
main purpose of job portal is to provide the facility to job seekers for getting the quick job.
So, it enables applicants to search for jobs in a convenient manner and to enable employers to
find suitable candidates.

Objective
The objective of the application is to develop a system using which job applicants and
recruiters can communicate with each other. An Online Job Portal is an application where the
job seekers can register themselves at the website and search jobs which are suitable for them
where as the employers register with the website and put up jobs which are vacant at their
company.
The Online Job Portal System is a package to be used by agencies to improve the efficiency
of business. The Online Job Portal System to be developed benefits greatly the members. The
system provides jobs catalogue and information to members and helps them decide on the
jobs to apply. The Admin and employers can keep the jobs catalogue updated all the time so
that the Job seekers get the updated information all the time.

Scope
The Scope for the system can be as follows:-
Maintain Job Seeker and Employer records
Maintain uploaded Resumes
Provide Customized Job Postings
Maintain Job Posting details and generate various reports



Modules
The application comprises the following major modules:

Job Seeker Module
This module provides functionalities for job seekers. Applicants can post their resumes with
personal and professional details. They can also update the resume as frequently as required.
The applicant can also browse through the present vacancies available. Job seekers can also
get mail alerts when their resumes are selected by employers.

Employer Module
This module provides functionalities related to employers. Employers can post vacancy
details and update the details as and when necessary. Employers can search through applicant
resumes based on different criteria.

Administration Module:
This module provides administrator related functionalities. Administrator manages entire
application and maintains the profiles of applicants and employers.

Deliverable
A Deliverable is a term used in project management to describe a tangible or intangible
object produced as a result of the project that is intended to be delivered to
a customer (either internal or external). A deliverable could be a report, a document or any
other building block of an overall project. (Final Output)

Milestone
A deliverable differs from a project milestone in that a milestone is a measurement of
progress toward an outcome whereas the deliverable is the result of the process. For a
typical project, a milestone might be the completion of a product design while the
deliverable might be the technical diagram of the product. (Intermediate Output)

WORKLOAD MATRIX



SELECTION OF METHODOLOGY
System development methodologies are promoted as a means of improving the
management and control of the software development process, structuring and
simplifying the process, and standardizing the development process and product by
specifying activities to be done and techniques to be used. Hence for the development of
Project Management System, “Web Information System Development” methodology
has been selected, because the system is web-based.

Website building is more complicated than a simple software building and WISDM includes
almost each phase (that contains certain activities) that is required to build a website.

STRUCTURE

WISDM Multiview framework

SCOPE
WISDM cover almost each and every step required for website development that includes
from organizational analysis to work design and technical design. It ensures that we will be
going through HCI process which is beneficial and recommended for website design.



DESCRIPTION
A system development methodology refers to the framework that is used to structure,
plan, and control the process of developing an information system. A wide variety of
such frameworks have evolved over the years, each with its own recognized strengths
and weaknesses. One system development methodology is not necessarily suitable for
use by all projects. Each of the available methodologies is best suited to specific kinds of
projects, based on various technical, organizational, project and team considerations.

Receiving the project, allotment of the projects to the right expertise, to conduct the
meeting at regular intervals to track their progress and document management for project
is being performed as a web based so that the manually done entire difficult task will be
minimized. So as per our requirement for web based approach we have selected WISDM
Methodology Web information system development methodology (WISDM) Web-based
Information Systems Development methodology has derived a concept from hypermedia
development methodology. Usually, hypermedia is a combination of rich texts, graphics,
audio, video, and so forth by using the concept of a hyperlink in order to provide a cross
reference and navigation to other pages or sections of the application. Any hypermedia
design and development methodology should be able to adopt the development of a
Web-based Information Systems.

PURPOSE
Firstly, the original purpose of Web-based development is to build an alternative type of
medium that extends a channel of communication to online publishing purpose for
internal and external stakeholders. In addition, the purpose of the Information Systems
development is to facilitate business transactions and operation of an organization.
Secondly, the development life cycle of a general Information System is a long term
cycle, while a short term life-cycle of web-based development is quite common for many
web-based projects.
Thirdly, the web is content intensive, and composed of unstructured information use;
while structured information and its flow are the major focus of traditional Information
Systems.
Finally, web-based development is a rich graphical approach, although it may be
optional to most Information Systems development projects. Consequently, the



methodology to development needs to be discussed separately from the traditional
Information System development.

Justification for using WISDM
It is best methodology for web based project management system as the resource
required to implement this model is minimal.
It follows the WISDM technique.
User can find the site easy to learn to operate and understandable
Provides accurate, timely, relevant information
Provides information at the right level of detail
Creates a sense of personalization
Makes it easy to communicate with the users



Organizational analysis
Organizational analysis represents value creation. It stresses strategy as relationship
building and maintaining with broad range of stakeholders that includes customers,
employees, government, and suppliers and so on. There are four types of stakeholders
that are listed below:

Primary stakeholder
Primary stakeholders are those who are directly interacted with the system. According to
our system the primary stakeholders are administrator, job seeker, and employer.

Secondary stakeholder
Secondary stakeholders are those who are not directly interacted with the system but
receive output. According to our system the secondary stakeholders are Management
who are not directly interacted with the system.

Tertiary Stakeholders
These are those stakeholders that are not involved in the system. These are not primary
as well as secondary but they are the one who are affected by the success and failure of
the system. These are the investors and competitors, developer whose profit depends on
the success and failure of the system.

Facilitating Stakeholders
This is the main stakeholder as this is responsible for the developing, designing and
maintaining the system. The developing team is the facilitator for this system.



Information analysis
Information analysis deals with requirement gathering techniques
Traditionally addressed as requirements specification
Formalized specification of the information and process requirements of the
organization
To document use graphical notation (use UML) or software prototype
Use to create structural behavioral model of the problem situation
o Use case
o Class model
o Activity diagram



Human computer interaction
Human–computer interaction (HCI) is the study of interaction between people (users)
and computers. Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface,
which includes
both software and hardware; for example, characters or objects displayed by software on
a computer’s monitor, input received from users via hardware peripherals such as
keyboards and mice, and other user interactions with large-scale computerized systems
such as aircraft and power plants. It is defined as the discipline concerned with the
design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use
and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them. There are six design
principles as follows: -
Visibility – Visibility means by looking to an icon or some interactive buttons the
user can come to know the use of it. It is achieved by putting control is a visible
place.
Feedback – It is a response to a users input. Whenever a user gives any input
proper feedback must be given that is under process.
Constrains – These are the properties of an object that limits the ways it can be
used. These are used to reduce the possibility of user making errors. Constraints
are generally used while filling up the information while creating or editing their
profile such that no wrong information is entered by the user. There are basically
three types of constrains – Physical, Logical and cultural.
Mapping – Mapping is the relationship between controls and their action or effect
in the world.
Consistency – Consistency means design icons should do similar task every time.
It is easier to use and learn. Consistency is of two types – Internal and External
Affordances – It is the properties of an object that indicates how it can be used.
The Scroll down toolbar itself indicates that it is used to scroll down or up



WORK DESIGN
Work design emphasizes on the user satisfaction. Knowing who your users are and what they
want is the first, vital step in meeting their needs. It’s very important for a system to match
the user’s task with the requirements.
Web Qual survey is used to assess the quality of the system. Web Qual uses following
parameters to ensure quality of web systems:
Usability - Usability is the study of the ease with which people can employ a
particular tool or other human-made object in order to achieve a particular goal. It
should be usable for all users and stakeholders (Administrator, Job Seeker,
Employer).
Information – The information that the system is providing should be relevant. Users
must get all the information in proper manner for which they have come to use the
system.

Interaction - Interaction plays a vital role. Users will use the system only if it is
interactive enough to engage the users. In the system is not interactive users will
easily get frustrated and will stop using the system.
Convergence - The web site should be easily converging.



Current System
The present system requires applicants to search through print and visual media for job
opportunities. Applicants need to apply for jobs using conventional methods and appear for
interview on a specified date at a specified location. . In the current manual system job
seekers had to send resumes and cover letters by mail, deliver them in person or fax them,
and then wait for an interview request. Employers need to advertise the vacancies and sort all
applicant details, conduct selection procedures and complete the formalities. The job
application process took quite some time. This approach is tedious and requires much effort
and resources. This process was equally frustrating for recruiters, as it often took some time
to fill positions with qualified candidates. Online recruitment speeds up and makes the
process much more efficient.

Non availability of data when required.
Resume sent manually, it is a waste of papers and consumes a lot of time
No database/system to keep track of resume of candidate
Difficulty to search for required job vacancy. It takes a long time for job seeker.
Inviting applications through post takes a lot of time.

Proposed System
The proposed system is a web based application which allows applicants and employers to
register their details. Applicants can browse through the vacancy details that are posted and
can apply for the jobs online. Employers can browse through the posted resumes and select
suitable candidates.

Filter, Search facility for job seekers according to their required vacancy.
Daily updates via notifications and other communication media.
Sending resume saves effort, time and cost of job seeker
All vacancies are available on a single interface
Job seeker can set privacy level for different companies
Job seeker can save jobs according to their needs
Most recent jobs are displayed on the home page
Counting the number of times the resume of a job seeker is accessed by the company


Ease of posting job vacancy by employer
Ease of filtering applications that fit into eligibility criteria by scanning the resumes
Ease of communication between job seeker and employer by internal messaging
Easy generated reports

Constraints
The Interface is provided only in English. So, the user should know English..
Login and password is used for identification of user and there is no facility for guest
user.
Registered users only have the rights to access the facilities provided by the system.
The user can access Online Job Portal Management System from any computer that
has internet connection and internet browsing capabilities.

Assumptions
The application is developed by the developers by assuming the:

The user have intermittent knowledge of computers and it interface.
The computer has internet connection and internet browsing capabilities.
The user knows English as GUI has been provided in English.
Jobseeker should be from any fields. (We are using incremental model, So first
we are making it only for jobseekers from IT fields.)

PROCESS MODEL
Introduction to Process Modelling:
Process modelling aims to graphically represent the processes which capture, manipulate,
store and distribute data.

• Data flow diagrams

• Structured English

• Decision tables and decision trees

Data Flow Diagrams:
Data flow diagrams model the flow of data into, through, and out of an information
system:

• show the processes that change or transform data

• show the movement of data between processes

• represent a system as a network of processes which transform data flowing between them

Context Diagram:
The highest level data flow diagram is the context diagram.

• The context diagram shows the interaction of the system with its environment in terms of
data flows

• The context diagram defines the boundary of the system (the scope of the system)

• Only the data flows which leave the system and the data flows which come from outside
the system are shown.

DATA MODEL
Introduction to Data Modelling:
Data modelling is the formalization and documentation of existing processes and events
that occur during application software design and development. Data modelling
techniques and tools capture and translate complex system designs into easily understood
representations of the data flows and processes, creating a blueprint for construction
and/or re-engineering.

A data model can be thought of as a diagram or flowchart that illustrates the relationships
between data. Although capturing all the possible relationships in a data model can be
very time-intensive, it's an important step and shouldn't be rushed. Well-documented
models allow stake-holders to identify errors and make changes before any
programming code has been written.

Entity-relationship diagram:
An entity-relationship diagram is a data modelling technique that creates a graphical
representation of the entities, and the relationships between entities, within an
information system.

The three main components of an ERD are:

The entity is a person, object, place or event for which data is collected. The entity
is represented by a rectangle and labelled with a singular noun.
The relationship is the interaction between the entities.. A relationship may be
represented by a diamond shape, or more simply, by the line connecting the
entities.
The cardinality defines the relationship between the entities in terms of numbers.
The three main cardinal relationships are: one-to-one, expressed as 1:1; one-to-
many, expressed as 1: M; and many-to-many, expressed as M: N.

EVENT MODEL
ENTITY LIFE HISTORY
An entity life history is the behaviour of an object, or a class of objects that share the
same behaviour. The stream of events affecting a persistent object is describable as an
entity life history.

Entity life histories (ELHs) describe:

Events that bring instances of an entity type into being; an instance of Member is
created.
Events that cause instances of an entity type to be modified; an instance of
Member is modified.
Events that cause instances to be deleted; an instance of Member is deleted.

@UG_Qualification) OR ([PG_Qualification] = @PG_Qualification))



PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT
FRONT-END
ASP.Net

Development Tool
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

Reason for selecting ASP.Net as Front End
It provides better performance by taking advantage of early binding, just-in-time
compilation, native optimization, and caching services right out of the box.
The ASP.NET framework is complemented by a rich toolbox and designer in the
Visual Studio integrated development environment. WYSIWYG editing, drag-and-
drop server controls, and automatic deployment are just a few of the features this
powerful tool provides.
It is purely server-side technology so, ASP.NET code executes on the server before it
is sent to the browser.



BACK-END
SQL SERVER

Development Tool
Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Reason for selecting Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as Back End
It does support Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS).

It has been enhanced in such a way that developers program more powerful and error
resistant SQL code with structured exception handling. Performance of query
execution is much faster as compared to SQL Server 2000.

It supports Integration of the .NET common language runtime (CLR). By default it is
off, we explicitly need to start from configuration setting. It has a new XML data type
as well as new varbinary (max) data type.



CONCLUSION
At last it can be concluded that the Job Portal System was a real learning experience. The
principles of software production were well implemented throughout the system. The whole
project undergoes with full of enthusiasm and with full of joyous moments. The project has
been made as per as the given specification. The system has been made as user friendly as
possible by the use of HCIU principals. That is why Management holds an important place in
the software production.

Working on the Project was really a learning experience and we have come a long way in
building our concepts of Software engineering. The “Job Portal System“developed by us is
purely based on ASP.net platform. The overall purpose of this system is to computerized the
whole process and thus prevent the intervening errors. We also tried to follow the holistic
design principle so that the interface of the system is simple.

During the course of this assignment we have gone through many obstacles which made us to
research and though increased our knowledge. After applying all the data modelling, object
modelling and process modelling techniques now we are very well clear with all these
concepts and fundamentals which will be going to help us in the future.
