Designing the application and of Railway Reservation System for the purpose of reserving railway tickets and database maintenance about train and passenger details by the railway department only. This database helps railways to retrieve data as and when required in future.
The scope of project included evaluation of the application and was primarily concerned with the transactions related to booking of tickets online by various commuters from their place of comfort.
Application controls and simulation were used to evaluate data validation and program logic. The selected data, as made available, for substantive checking of the completeness, integrity and consistency of data using computer assisted applications such as PHP and MYSQL.
The records maintained in the database of the railway seat reservation website were also reviewed. Discussions were held with the database users to gain understanding regarding the various functional aspects of the system.
The booking database has passenger’s details like Name, Gender, Departure date and GSM numbers.
