Software Template to Improve Quality of Database Design on basis of Error Identification from Software Project Documentation

Software development projects are an indispensable constituent of computer science courses. They offer the prospects for students to apply theoretical material and to expand valuable knowledge in an environment typical of the workplace. This paper deals with a vital and noteworthy concern in the development of computer software-its quality. The software systems which students as well as professional software engineers design are increasing in complexity, and it is often away from human ability to confirm their correctness. These benefits, however, are difficult to realise. In particular, we provide a software template for software engineering projects through which quality of students software project can be improved. The software template been designed can find out various errors committed by the students while developing their software projects in any of the following areas-database, designing, reports, testing, exceptions handling and so on. Software template also further provides necessary assistance in order to get rid of these errors and thus improving the quality of the software project. We consider our template will be a useful tool in indentifying errors in student's software project and to eliminate these errors and hence improving the quality. The paper presents and discusses about software template that has been developed and how it can be incorporated to access the quality of software projects developed by the students.
