Database Setup

Before running the Vehicle Rental Management System, it is important to configure the database connection properly.

The project uses an MS Access database located in your system. You need to update the path of the database file in the connection string to match the location where you have saved the database on your computer.

In the project, the connection string is defined in connectionStr.vb:

Public Class connectionStr
    Public Shared Function con_str()
        ' Update this path to the location of your vehicle_database.mdb file
        Dim conn_str As String = "E:\jadwinder\Tech\Project\Vehicle_Rental\Final\WindowsApplication1\vehicle_database.mdb"
        Return conn_str
    End Function
End Class

Steps to update the path:

• Locate the vehicle_database.mdb file on your system.
• Open connectionStr.vb .
• Replace the existing path with the full path to your database file.
• Save the file and rebuild the project.

Testing

Testing ensures the system works reliably, securely, and efficiently:

1. Functional Testing:
   Ensures all features like adding vehicles, booking, billing, and updating records work correctly.

2. Performance Testing:
   Checks system responsiveness under heavy usage (multiple bookings at the same time).

3. Security Testing:
   Protects customer and vehicle data using authentication, access control, and validation checks.

4. User Acceptance Testing (UAT):
   End-users test the system to ensure usability, accuracy, and overall satisfaction.

Importance of Testing:

• Ensures accurate operations, prevents errors in bookings or billing.
• Protects sensitive customer and vehicle data.
• Improves system efficiency and user satisfaction.
