Sviluppo di una applicazione intranet con tecnologia ASP e interfaccia web

This work is made up of an introduction and 2 parts.
The intro briefly explains the role and authority of the “Ufficio per il controllo interno”. It also underlines that the office carries out some extremely important tasks like the strategic evaluation and control, in order to verify that the targets set by the Presidenza’s political-administrative policies and acts have been fulfilled.
Among the mentioned activities, the office, in accordance with provisions and contracts, also supervises the management evaluation. Then, there’s a detailed description of how to perform the management evaluation, whose main principles and processes are:
• the research of valuable performances and behaviours, system’s transparency, the subject’s presence in the evaluation process, the evaluation of the quality of performance.
• The evaluation of three macroareas subject to supervision and measuring, attribution of an initial score, results testing and final evaluation, the assignment of a resulting allowance in proportion to the percentage of the outcome.
The evaluation process is carried out by the “VALDIR” intranet application, which is accessibile through the office intranet website.
The first part of the thesis includes a description of the user interface of the application.
User interfaces contain some windows (Userform) and the objects inside (such as buttons and text boxes).
Windows are shown through images following an order defined by the application, that starts with the application access form.
The second part has a more technical nature and concerns the application structure. This part describes the review of the user accounts placed in the database, called “VALDIR”, and lists the user profiles with their related rights and authorizations.
That database is a relational one: it records the tables list and a scheme illustrating the relationship between the tables. Special attention has been given to the database creation, that’s generated by a selection of data originated by another database.
The following step consists of the construction of the ASP pages and the code typing. A flow chart explains the logic sequence of the application controls. Some code sequences related to some ASP pages particularly interesting for the adopted solutions are shown as examples. Particularly important is the part of the code that “builds” and handles the evaluators/evaluated hierarchy, which is essential for the application.
In the final remarks, there’s an analysis of the work.
A special effort has been made both in the design and in the development phases in order to shape the application to the administration’s particular preferences.
At last, security and data protection issues regarding the latest hacking techniques are examined. From this point of view, the application is in such a low critical situation level that maybe it does not guarantee the data manipulation. On the other hand, the database is sufficiently shielded from destructive attacks.
Anyway, a more suitable way of dealing with security issues is also illustrated to supply information.
