Chapters of a BCA project report
After the front matter (cover page, certificate, declaration, acknowledgement, abstract, table of contents), a typical BCA report has these chapters. Your department’s guidelines come first where they differ.
Chapter 1: Introduction
Background, objectives, purpose, scope and applicability, achievements and how the report is organised.
Chapter 2: Survey of Technologies
Each technology or tool you used: what it is, why you chose it and the alternatives.
Chapter 3: Requirements and Analysis
Problem definition, functional and non-functional requirements, Gantt chart, hardware and software requirements, use case diagram.
Chapter 4: System Design
Modules, database schema and ER diagram, class, activity and sequence diagrams, algorithms, UI design and security.
Chapter 5: Implementation and Testing
Implementation approach, key code, unit, integration and user testing, and a test case table.
Chapter 6: Results and Discussion
Test reports and results, and a step-by-step user guide.
Chapter 7: Conclusion
Conclusion and significance, limitations and future scope.
