From UML Design to Implementation of a Reliable Student Information System

Abstract

When applying to undergraduate and graduate studies, adjusting to the new formats can be quite difficult. The Student Information System (SIS) is an intelligent and user-friendly Java-based system that allows the student and the professors to interact with various components within the system. The reliability of SIS is critical for the school system in order to maintain the correct information about academic records. Therefore, our project was established on the object-oriented software development cycle and UML based design concepts. With the object-oriented software development cycle of the requirement analysis, specification, design, implementation, and testing, we applied the UML design model on the programming of a middle size student information system. The use of an object-oriented approach based on UML specification can offer an understandable system representation, reduce the system's complexity, and improve the reliability and maintainability. We show the developed Java program is associated with the designed static and dynamic diagrams in the UML specification with the expected reliabilities.
