I. Introduction:
An IETLS center have many difficulties in managing students, but they are choosing storing information of students in the papers, as a
result, a small amount of student data has been lost because of the papers’ length of life, or when they want to transfer the data to
another storage place, they need to copy it by handwriting, or even when searching the information of student, this make time-wasted.
Therefore, they hired me to design the student management application in order to support them in managing their students’
information. The application must have many important criteria, such as having the graphical user interface, reading, and writing
student data from file, having ability to work with the collection of data (searching for item). In addition, having application tested
before deploying it to ensure the crash must not happen at end user side.

II. User requirements:

After listening their requirements, I noted and analyzed their requirements. I concluded and wrote them down clearly. They want the
software:

- Can manage student:

 ID: this is unique,
 Name
 Gender
 Birthday
 Email
 Phone number
- Have four main functions:
 Create: To save information of student.
 Read: To display all or found students.
 Update: To update information of student.
 Delete: To delete information of student.

4
 - And have more sub-functions, such as:
 Sorting ascending, descending information of students by their ID
 Find student by id and/or name

III. UI Design
- Wireframing is a way to design a website service at the structural level. A wireframe is a layout of a web page that
demonstrates what interface elements will exist on key pages. It is a critical part of the interaction design process. Because the
aim of a wireframe is to provide a visual understanding of a page early in a project to get stakeholder and project team
approval before the creative phase gets underway, I decided to place it in this report to support my work become easy, and also
customer can understand my application which I designed for them. This is a wireframe of student management software:

5
- These are the fields for user to type and choose students’ information, including:
 Text fields with rectangle shape which is the place to type student information, such as ID, Name, Birthday, Email,
Phone number.
 Two radio buttons for choosing student gender.

6
- These are the place for user to choose which function they want to implement through 3 radio buttons, ‘Add Function’,
‘Update Function’, and ‘Delete Function’; and corresponding to those three radio buttons if they are turned on, are three
buttons for implementation of saving, updating, delete student information.

- This is the place for user to find the student information by searching ID and/or Name of them.

7
 - This is the two radio buttons to choosing for sorting ascending and descending students’ information by their ID

- This is the table for display the information of students for all or found students.

IV. Implementation

1. Link github:
https://github.com/Sagit612/ProjectJava

2. Classes:
There are 4 classes in my program, including:

 ‘StudentController’ class: contains CRUD functions, check information functions, read/write file functions, sorting student information
functions. Those functions have the mission to handle the data and then pass it to the class ‘MainFrame’ which is the view.

9
 ‘Student’ class: contains field (id, name, gender, birthday, email, phone number), contructors, functions getter and setter.

10
 ‘MainFrame’ class: contain button, table,…, return student information, getting from ‘StudentController’ class, to table functions. This
class also handle the button events.

 ‘App’ is the class main which help running the program.

11
3. Program structure:

12
13
This is structure of my program, including 4 class, ‘Student’ class, ‘StudentController’ class, ‘MainFrame’ class. Whenever the program starts, the
view appears and the ‘ReadDataFromFile’ function is called with its function passing the data from file to list and the data will be passed into the
‘ArrayList’, then the data from the ‘Database’ file are passed into the ‘ReadFile’ function. The view contain:

 Text field of id, name , birthday, email, phone number, and search id and name: to get text for handling.
 Radio button of choosing genders, add/delete/update functions, and sorting function.
 Button: Save, Delete, Update, Search
 Table to display the information of students

14
Whenever user add interact with view, the view will receive user actions such as adding, deleting, updating, the view has the mission to receive
data through text field such as id, name text field, the data will be passed into view, followed by controller, and given to a certain function to
handle, then the handled data will be passed into the ‘ArrayList’ and continuedly transferred to ‘WriteToFile’ function in order to write or override
them into the ‘Database’ file. The ‘Database’ file, then, will be read by ‘ReadFile’ function, and after that data corresponding with user need will
be returned to the view.

4. Important algorithms:

A. Adding student:
This is a flowchart of adding new student to ‘database.txt’ file

15
- Explanation:
 ‘studentInformation’ represents for id, name, gender, birthday, email, and phone number of student
 ‘studentInformation.isEmpty()’ is to check if user entered student’s information.
 ‘CheckStudentInformation(studentInformation)’ is a function from ‘StudentController’ class to check if student information is
duplicated.

16
  ‘CheckStudentInformationValid(studentInformation)’ is a function from ‘StudentController’ class to check if student
information is valid or not.
When user want to add new student, they need to enter information of that student, if information is null the program will alert and force
user to enter information. Then the program receives that information to check it first if it is unique (except for name and birthday) or
valid, if not, program will force user to enter again until that information is unique and valid, after everything is correct, the program will
process it by add it to array list and write that array list to file.

B. Delete student:
This is the flowchart of deleting student by id

17
- Explanation:
 ‘id.isEmpty()’ is to check if user entered id.
 ‘_students.size()’ is the size of the array list.
18
  ‘_student.get(i).getId()’ is to get the student ‘i’ with their information
 ‘_student.get(i).getId().equal(id)’ is to compare whether the student id is equal entered id or not.
- When user want to delete student, they need to enter the id of that student, then the program receives that id to check it first if it is null or
not if yes, program will force user to enter, after everything is correct, the program will process it by finding student with that entered id
and delete it from array list, after that the array list will be written into file.

5. Errors handled:
Everything happened normally when I add student into table, it was successful.

When I try to enter the string into the table, it still accepted the data and pass it into the table.
19
20
Then I create the function ‘checkbirthday’ to check the birthday is valid or not, but the when I tried to add birthday with the remaining student
information, it appeared the error.

21
Then I handled that error by catching that DateTimeParseException.
22
And if the birthday format that user enter into table is wrong, the catch will not handle that and the function return false, and then handling it at the
‘if… else’ statement

 Name text field will be opened
 Gender radio buttons will be opened:
 Birthday text field will be opened.

57
 Email text field will be opened.
 Phone number text field will be opened.

58
- Then I typed student information into those text field and chose their gender

59
- After that, I clicked save and the panel would appear and announce that I added student information successfully

60
- And this is a result of adding function

61
2. Updating function:
- I used the result of adding function to continue the updating function.

- When turning on the updating function:

62
 Name text field will be opened
 Gender radio buttons will be opened:
 Birthday text field will be opened.
 Email text field will be opened.
 Phone number text field will be opened.

63
- Then I chose which information would be updated by clicking on it, the student information appeared on the text field, except for Id would
not be updated.

64
- After that I changed the student information, clicked update button, and the panel would appear and announce that I updated student
information successfully

65
66
- This is the result of updating student information:

67
3. Deleting function:
- I used the result of updating function information continue the deleting function.

68
- Then I chose which information would be deleted by clicking on it, the student information appeared on the text field without changing it.

VII. Conclusion:

1. What I leant:
After implementing this project, I

- Learnt how to apply the MVC model into this project to keep the program maintained and scaled easily.
- Learnt how to handle the event happening through clicking buttons and make it more logical in order to avoid many errors.
- Acknowledged that using test plan, test case, test log is indispensable, it helps me find the errors and handle it to avoid the crashing
happening when running the program.
- Learnt how to read/write data from file in order to save the data, and load data whenever user runs the program.
- Learn how to validate input to avoid user enter the wrong information by mistakes.

2. What I need to improve

- In terms of the GUI which is interface of program, I found that my application was not well-designed, user-friendly, and it also has some
illogical flow of actions.
- In terms of the program, I found that my program has some errors that I cannot handle, although they do not make my program crashed
when running, they are validated, and my test covered them as many as possible.

So, in the future, I will learn and invest myself more into it for improve my future program.
