Software Engineering Workshop: Railway Time Table Application Report

This report details the development of a railway timetable application as part of a Software Engineering Workshop. The project encompasses team and project management, including team effectiveness and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases: analysis, design, implementation, quality assurance, deployment, and support/maintenance. The analysis phase defines functional and non-functional requirements, including user interface requirements and use cases. The design phase includes a class diagram, basic UI designs for menu, origin/destination filtering, journey duration calculation, and real-time LDBS, along with a sequence diagram. The implementation section mentions the source code. The evaluation, testing, and profiling section covers test-driven development (TDD) with a storyboard, and test evaluation. The application was successfully developed using Java, providing information on railway timetables. The report concludes with reflections on the project's success and references.

1 Project and Team Management
1.1 Team Effectiveness
The evaluation of team effectiveness is used to provide the three dimensions of performance
such as,
 Productive Output
 Enhanced Capability of Interdependence
 Contribution to personal well-being
1.2 SDLC Effectiveness
The Software development life cycle is the one of the project management technique
which is divided the complex projects into smaller and it easily managed the phases or
segments on the project development. The software development life cycle include the
following phases.
 Analysis
o User needs to analysis the technical and business requirements on the end
product.
o It identify and validate the opportunity to improve the business
accomplishments of the organizations.
o It also identify the constraints and assumptions on the solutions to that need.
 Design
o It can be simple prototype which is display the outline of the system in general
and user can proceed to create the low fidelity wireframes.
o It helps to create the overall system architecture and also determined the
project development programming language and technologies.
o It determine the interface functional requirements.
o It provide the initial idea begins to develop the software functioning system.
 Implementation
o It approving the project requirements and design.
o It is the functional end for project development.
o Basically, developer can use various approached to implementation based on
the project size and resource availability (Schildt, 2014).
 Quality Assurance
2

o The quality assurance stage is used to detect and document the bugs made at
the design phase because, the developer use the bug report to eliminate the
bugs.
o And, also eliminate the bugs.
o The developer are performs the all the tests to check the project compliance
with all the functional and non-functional requirements.
 Deployment
o The deployment phase is used to tested the recognized the system and ii
determined the project scope.
o It can be realized as either a step by step launch or one time release.
 Support and Maintenance.
o The support and maintenance phase is used to utilizing the finished project and
needs to be dealt with in order to maintain the system performance and its
relevance.
o It minimize the security threats.
2 Analysis

Use case: Login
First, user needs to create an account to login on the railway website. After view the railway
station timetable. To login an account to enter the user name and password. Once login successfully,
after view the railway time table.
Use case: Menu
Once user login successfully, after user view the menu to view the railway time table. The menu items
contains the below information.
o Origin and destination Filtering
o Journey Duration Calculation
o Real time LDBS
o Exit

3.1 Class Diagram
The Railway time table class diagram is shown below.
In class diagram, it has four classes such as user class, railway time table class, LDBs
class and Menu class. The User class has following objects such as user name and password.
The railway timetable has following objects such as station/ stop and time of the day. The
Menu class contains the following objects such as Login, Origin and destination Filtering,
Journey Duration Calculation and Real time LDBS.

Real time LDBS
User

First, user needs to create an account. After, login the railway website to view the
railway time table. Once login successfully completed, after view the railway station menu
which is contain the following information.
o Origin and destination Filtering
o Journey Duration Calculation
o Real time LDBS
o Exit
If user choose the Origin and destination Filtering, it requires origin and destination
station information to provide the filtering the origin and destination stations. If users choose
the Journey Duration Calculation, it requires the origin and destination station information to
provide the journey calculation. If user choose the Real time LDBS, it requires the origin and
destination station information to provide the live departure board for origin station. If user
choose the exit to exit the railway information wizard.

4 Implementation
4.1 Source Code
Source Code is attached here (Waldo, 2010).
5 Evaluation, Testing and Profiling
5.1 Test Driven Development
The test driven development is used to produce the high quality of applications in less
time. It uses the proper implementation of Test driven development which is requires the
testers and developers to accurately anticipate the how the application and it is features will
be used in the real life. It creates the regression test as side effect which can be minimize the
11

human manual testing and it determine the error and quickly fixes the errors and bugs. It
ensures the first time quality and high coverage than classic phased like code>test>fix>retest
cycles.
5.1.1 Storyboard
Storyboard is illustrated as below.
5.2 Test Evaluation
In Test Evaluation, user use the white box testing method because it can be used to
evaluate the completeness of the test suite that was created with the black box testing
methods. This test is used to allow the software team to examine the system parts that are
rarely tested and ensured that most important function points which are needs to be tested.
In our project, the testing are successfully completed. The created railway application is
successfully running. The application output is demonstrated as below.
