Development of Student Information System using Unified Modelling Language

Abstract

The manual approach to student data management has a number of drawbacks, including lost student information, inaccurate results calculations, delayed report release, and insecure records. Therefore, an automated platform that is adaptable for managing student data is presented in this study. A Unified Modelling Language (UML) and Java NetBeans IDE were used to design and create the system's front end, while MySQL was utilized to implement the model's back end. The Department of Computer Sciences at Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijagun, Ogun State, provided the datasets used to test the system. The main features of the system were explained by the logical progression of the system and its functional modules. Additionally, the use-case diagram displays the much functionality offered by the system as well as the various kinds of system actors. The system's adequacy, appropriateness, scalability, security, usability, interoperability, and flexibility were demonstrated in integration tests on its practicability, indicating that it is extendable and adaptable to various information management domains. Adopting this new information system will assist tertiary institutions in managing the institutions in making decisions quickly and accurately while completing high-speed activities, both of which will improve student performance.
