Executive Summery
The internship report highlights the major works carried out by the author in terms
of academic and non-academic perspectives. The scope of this document is to
identify and describe the analysis carried out, projects completed, experience
gained and focuses on the achievements as an intern.
The author was sent to Step Up Solution Providers to complete his internship. The
author found himself rather lucky by getting the chance to work in such an
environment that Step-Up Software House provided and got introduced to some of
the new terms, new Technologies and new Languages. But the most amazing
experience was to work in a multicultural work environment.
The projects that the author worked in certainly helped him by increasing his
practical knowledge depth. The research and development projects were particularly
helpful in widening his views regarding different web application development
frameworks. Keeping the coding apart, there were also a few more challenges. Some
of them were technical and some were non-technical. Coming almost at the end of
his internship, the author discovered that, some of his communicative and
management skills have been improved to a great extent.
Besides there were some vital lessons which will obviously help him in his future
jobs.
After the internship, the author is more confident, more skilled and more
professional than he was before.

4. Overview of the Organization
4.1 Preamble
Internship is the process of on-the-job training, which particularly beneficial for students
with major in technical courses.
Department of Computer Sciences UAF provides that glorious opportunity to their students
of having an internship within their bachelor program.
Department always emphasize on industry orientation in academic study. For these purpose
industry people are invited to Cs Department to talk about their companies and experiences,
often some technical courses are entirely conducted by them. The six Week internship
program is another, possibly most effective, way of achieving industry orientation.
Internship helps the students to link-up their academic experience with industry practices.
I have tried my best to combine the both together. I hope I am successful, the future
semesters of my degree will prove the fact of success and failure.

5.3.7 OOP (Object Oriented Programming):
If you don’t know about classes and Objects how can you be a Professional Programmer,
encapsulation is a great way to learn about them. In theoretical way, you put your code in
a class and you’re done! It’s magic! The problem is that it’s hard to see the value of doing
that. Step up Solution Providers Always Suggest their new Comers Who don’t have much
knowledge of Programming to learn about OOP. In this section They Provide service which
includes introduction to C++, memory concept Arithmetic Decision making,
Functions/methods, Array, vectors, Gamming Project, Pointers Etc.

6.Plan of internship Program
6.1 Field I choose for internship:
The Field where I got training is the Web form Application Development. Although I have
had experience of Web Application for last 2 semesters. I started working with Miss
Juhinal Batool Senior Software Engineer at Step up in different Projects. She Assign me
Different tasks and also help me with the Problem(s) I faced. She also guide me how can I
keep patience to achieve my goals by working hard with honesty. Usually it takes me 10-
14 days to Complete a single workable web based Project. In the Last She Assign me with
a team where we work to-gather to make a fully functional website. We will launch this
project as sapphirsworld.com in the mid of august.
6.2 Starting Date of Internship: Monday, 4 June 2018
Ending Date of Internship: Monday, 16 July 2018
Field for internship : Asp.Net Web Form Application with C# Backend
Duration of Internship : 6 Weeks
As stated before, Step UP works in multiple platforms. But the team I had been assigned
works in windows platform. Therefore most of the things I learned are Microsoft and its
sister technologies.
In Pakistan the culture of pirated culture has been very popular. Most of us are used to use
pirated or limited versions of Microsoft software and technologies. Those are either virus
affecter or provide limited features. At Step, I have used most updated and registered
versions of Microsoft software
19. 18
6.3.1 Tools I used
Programing tools make development easier. In my intern at Step UP Software House I have used
the following tools in my daily works.
Visual Studio 2015
SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2017 Management Studio
6.3.2 Technologies I learned
6.3.2.1 ASP.NET
ASP.NET is a web application framework developed by Microsoft. ASP.NET is a
successor of Microsoft’s ASP technology.
C# had been always my favorite. However, the truth about software engineers is: the best
are not those who have mastered some technologies very well, best are those who can
learn new technologies faster. ASP.NET is the most notable technology I learned at Step
Up. ASP.NET is a huge framework. There are many subsections of this framework. One
single requirement can be fulfilled in many ways. I have learned a few of them.
6.3.2.2 Entity Framework
Entity framework is a popular ORM of the ASP.NET framework. Entity framework comes with
code-first approach which makes the database design really simple.[12]
6.3.2.3 Bootstrap
I used Bootstrap for front-end designing for my web form application. It help me a lot in
making my website responsive and attractive using HTML-CSS. I design buttons, forms,
navbar, & other interface components
6.3.2.4 SQL Server
As I know SQL Server is most easily compatible with ASP.NET. So, therefore I used this
Software for Database Design, Relational Database, Database Diagrams, and Store
Procedure; I have tried to learn as much I needed
20. 19
6.3.2.5 Microsoft Visual Studio
Visual Studio (VS in short) is the IDE for ASP.NET and many other Microsoft
technologies. VS is one of the most powerful IDEs ever built. I was provided by Microsoft
Visual Studio 2015 Professional. I hope I have made good use of it. [11]
6.3.2.6 Team Foundation Server
Team Foundation Server is a Microsoft product that provides source code
management(Check-in Checkout), reporting, requirements management, project
management, Teams , Admins, lab management, testing and release management
capabilities. I used it for our project name as sapphiresworld.[6]
6.3.2.7 Web API KEY
I also used Web API Key for My project for OTP request. I get this service from
textlocal.com. It give me 10 SMS free service for 30 Days. When you use Textlocal, you’re
not only buying into their first-class online platform, but you’re also tapping in to our
expertise and pedigree as well.

7.Training Program
7.1 Activities performed by the Asp.Net Department Where I
Worked:
7.1.1 Office Schedule
Office starts at 8:30 am and ends at 5:30 pm, from Monday to Friday. There is a 30 minutes
break from 1:00 pm for lunch and namaz.
7.1.2 Software Development
Step UP Software teams help the internee to build custom software - everything from
desktop to Web to enterprise to mobile responsive and beyond. Solution Providers have
worked with many technology platforms and have collaborated with many teams over these
years. Its clients get a team of their own – it is as simple as that. There is no red tape – the
team adapts to the working process of the client and are there as one of their own.
7.1.3 Development Technique, Pair Programming
In Step Up pair programming is done most of the time and it works as a real technique. In
the internship period I paired with some of my seniors in different times. As I was new to
the some technologies we were supposed to use, I always had a lot of questions. Therefore,
I could clear my confusions while working with them and learned the technologies quickly.
7.1.4 Professional Learning
Although technical learning is important, professional learning is the sole purpose of an
internship. Step Up is an excellent place to learn professionalism.
7.1.5 Negotiation
Negotiation is an important part of software engineering. At Step Up I have had practical
experience of negotiation. We, the developers here, negotiate with our project manager
quite often here. I also had such an experience and could create a win-win situation.
7.1.6 Software Quality Assurance
Effective design with development of that application is nothing without good quality. Its
integrated quality assurance approach incorporates all aspects of agile and lean
development with the stability and reliability of traditional SQA process. It believes
22. 21
software quality assurance is only possible with a mixed set of procedures which should
involve all members of the team collaborating with a dedicated team of SQA professionals.
Because of the involvement with all kinds of projects its SQA teams are exposed to a
variety of technology and business domains. This helps Step UP to provide unique
resources bringing in skills, experience and ideas from very different sectors.
7.1.7 Verification and Validation
Verification is done by QA team to ensure that the product, service is as per the
specification. Validation is carried out with the inclement of the testing team.
7.1.8 Attendance and Punctuality
Punctuality is another important issue in professional life. I have to go office at 9:00 to
attend scrum. But at every Friday I have to be there before 9 for attending Team meeting.
This practice helped me to increase my level of punctuality and I was present in
approximately 99% workdays.
7.1.9 Domestic Environment
Step Up is like one big family. All the current and ex-employees are members of this Step
Up family. Work is fun here. Employees consider the company to be their own
responsibility
7.1.10 Prayer Timing
Step Up also manage Prayer schedule and allow their student and other staff members to
stop work During Prayer Timing

9.Critical Analysis
9.1 Attitude:
Somewhat indifferent
Average diligence & interest
Very interested & industrious
Definitely not interested. I joined Step Up at an intern to learn and apply my knowledge.

myself and the company. So, from my point of view, I have always been enthusiastic in
my work.
9.2 Ability to learn
Average in understanding work
Learned work readily
Learned work exceptionally well
At Step Up, I have got very nice and friendly mentors and supervisor who taught me really

Step Up really well and I would like to thank my teammates for that.
9.3 Dependability
Unreliable
Sometimes neglectful or careless
Usually dependable
Above average dependability
After joining Step Up, I was first assigned to an internal project first, and when my Supervisor
Miss Juhinah found me sincere to my work, he assigned me to a large project School

10. SWOT Analysis
The following SWOT analysis concerns the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats associated with perpetual, transaction, and subscription licensing models from both
the vendor's and the client’s point of view.
10.1 Internal Factors
10.1.1 Strengths
Have many return Clients.
Low-cost leadership.
Produce app with high Quality assurance & 24/7 Support Service.
Proper Documentation work.
Step Up is Located in the heart of city.
Strong relationship with the Clients, Students, and Staff.
Under perpetual licensing, software is paid with a big lump sum upfront. Vendors can
realize the revenue immediately and take advantage of the time value it generates for other
investments. Since the total cost of ownership is pre-negotiated, customers on the other
hand have better control over software budget for the year. In addition, perpetual licensing
is the conventional method, which both vendors and customers are accustomed to. The
concept is easier for vendors to explain and for Client to accept.
10.1.2 Weaknesses
Step up know their weakness and they are working toward improving them .some
of their major Weakness according to my point of view are listed as:
Don't pay much attention to marketing as other Software houses dose.
High costs of doing business and limited cash flow are among common financial
weaknesses.

All walls are made of wood and no Fire extinguisher is placed in the organization.
10.2 External factors
10.2.1 Opportunities
Create a similar list for external opportunities. Include ways in which the firm can improve
Step UP performance and competitive advantage. Some examples are:
More customers shifting to Computer Based Management System in their
Organizations
New market segments and niches
Government’s support in emerging local markets
More efficient marketing tactics
New technologies to improve Client experience
10.2.2 Threats
Some threats can be categorized based on the Step Up: Solution Providers mentioned
below:

11. Conclusion
The internship program helped me to gain important knowledge on the software
industry, there culture, work environment and all about software development.
Participating in the weekly team meeting with CTO, Project manager and other team
members and discussing the threats of the projects helped me attain the faith to
develop a never give up attitude. At the same time, it helped me learn the software
life cycle (SDLC) used in the software industry and inspired me to be striver,
responsible and confident.
The internship program has increased my teamwork capabilities as well as respect
to the team mate’s ideas and suggestions. Team discussions like brainstorming
sessions helped me identify and solve numerous problem issues which would have
been impossible to solve otherwise.
I would like to convey my thanks to the Department of Computer Sciences, UAF for
providing me with an opportunity to gain an idea of the competitive environment in
the professional field. It has certainly lifted my software development skills in terms
of design and coding. I now look forward to facing the upcoming challenges of the
world
