7.4.1 UNIT TESTING 61

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic is
functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs. All decision
branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual
software units of the application .it is done after the completion of an individual
unit before integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its
construction and is invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and
test a specific business process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests
ensure that each unique path of a business process performs accurately to the
documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

The increasing use of technology in everyday life has ​increased efficiency and
productivity​. It is because of budding technologies like artificial intelligence, robotic
process automation, and machine learning etc. that the educators today are able to
provide a personalized learning environment to the students and easily monitor their
own performance.

The following are the 6 ways in which technology is influencing the education sector:

1. Smart Feedbacks
Feedback, whether it is for the educator or tech associate, is very important to improve the
learning process. The students’ feedback gives an opportunity for the educator or tech
associate to identify gaps in their teaching efforts and do better. The teachers’
feedback allows the students to identify the areas where they need to do some extra
work. For student’s feedback, the educational institutions generally use online to
printed forms.

But this process can become more engaging and authentic with technology
implementations.

2. Learning through Chatbot:

A popular application of artificial intelligence is intelligent tutoring systems that provide a

personalized learning environment to the students by analyzing their responses and
how they go through the learning content. Similarly, chat bots with artificial
intelligence technology can be used to teach the students by turning a lecture in a
series of messages to make it look like a standardized chat conversation. The bot may
repeatedly assess the level of understanding of the student and present the next part of
the lecture accordingly.
3. Enhanced Student Engagement
The students nowadays are already accustomed to the instant messaging platforms and
social media. Whether they want to communicate with each other, research topics or
find the best assignment help, they switch to these platforms or use a virtual assistant
to do so. This can be used to enhance the learning process and engagement of students
in a subject. Imagine messaging being used by teachers and students to connect to the
classroom, departments, alumni groups, and various activity clubs. It would become
so easy for the students to find information about the assignments, due dates or any
other important events.

4. Instant Help to Students

This is a generation of people who never stop. Technology has enabled the students
to get everything instantly. Whether it is sending an email, posting a picture, searching
a place or even finding online assignment help, everything can be done in just a few
clicks. Hence, the educational institutions also need to speed up their student
communication process to draw the attention of this fast-paced generation.

Every year a huge amount, of prospective students visit the college websites or
administrate offices to inquire about the admission process, scholarships or course
fees.

Since most questions are repetitive, chat bot’s can be used to convert this time-consuming
task of replying to each query personally into an automatic one.

This would not only save a great deal of time of the students but would also diminish the
burden of the institutions. Moreover, the students would not have to wait for getting
the reply and can participate in instant chats with these bots.

5. Better Support
The responsibility of an educational institution doesn’t end at providing a highly-qualified
faculty, well-equipped labs or better courses. It has been found that a poor student
support is one of the key reasons why students drop out of colleges. Hence, the higher
 education institutions should always pay attention in providing the complete
information to the students and in communicating with them time-to-time.

RPA can offer a huge value here. RPA that help the students during the admission
processes can further be used to provide them all the necessary information about
their courses, its modules, and faculties. The bots can also act as campus guides and
help the students as they arrive at the campus. They can help the students find out
more about the scholarships, hostel facilities, library memberships, and so on.

6. Up-to-date information for the Institutions

The institution can utilize this data to track the educator performance and then
identify the areas where they need to improve. For example, they can find if they need
to improve grammar or vocabulary or teaching skills or knowledge and confidence
regarding a separate topic. The institution can repeat this process at regular intervals
and then transform accordingly with the changing needs and preferences of the
students.

1.2 RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT

The relevance of the project is efficient performance analysis and representation. As the
educator and tech associate to student ratio is quite low, so an educator is responsible
for educating a huge number of students. If the educator isn’t doing a good job many
students suffer. One of the great benefits of performance analysis via feedback
generated from students is that an overall area of improvement is easily identified and
saves time. Once created you’ll probably save in the long run. Hence Save Money.
Another benefit of doing so is that quality of education would improve manifolds.

1.3 PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is efficient performance analysis of educator and tech associate
via Feedbacks from the students. Since, the feedback is generated and stored in excel
sheets which are quite boring and tedious to look at. So, the excel sheet data is thus
transformed to visual representation. This would not only save a great deal of time of
 the educators and their managers but would also diminish the burden of the
institutions. Moreover, the students would experience a better learning environment.

1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

Initially the educators would be informed of their performance by their managers,
whenever the manager got the time to do so. Now-a-days nobody really has time and the
managers who have to mentor multiple educators and tech associates might not get the
time to monitor each of them regularly and frequently. This lack of mentorship and not
knowing where they lack, can lead to bad teaching practices. When we say technology
have come a long way, we actually meant it. Availability of our application is 24/7 with
the immense knowledge it can hold is all set to outperform managers. With speed and
accuracy, they will offer great support to institutions and ETA department. It saves time
and in most of the cases offers them clear and concrete answers. They may not be perfect
but quite useful.

1.5 PROBLEM DEFINITION

In the absence of a guide, learning and improving has always been very tough and it
becomes problem in bringing out a relevant solution to any specific problem. So, while
dealing with studies and knowledge gathering we cannot be limited to any particular
thing.

● Everyone finds it difficult while we are learning under the absence of the mentor.

● The students may despise studying if the educator isn’t good enough.

● An all-time presence of performance analysis tool can be used to facilitate the

teaching process.

● They can help in reducing the workload of the administrative staff of the
educational institutions.
 ● As a result, we can expect an immense growth of the education sector, beneficiary
interactions between the students and the teachers and a superior classroom
environment. It would not only enhance the students’ learning, but would foster
vision, resilience, and inquisitiveness among educators and tech associates.

1.6 PROBLEM EXPLANATION

• The user can find easily the areas of improvement.

• The user is always free to learn new things with the help of this project as it
provides a connectivity to LEX.

• The assistant is accessible during the working and non-working hours or we

can say after 5 pm.

• The project enables users to have good and user-friendly experience with
simple UI.

• A graphical representation of performance would lead to an easy, effective and

time efficient analysis.

• The suggestion functionality helps in further improvement of the educator.

1.7 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective is to make the things easier and simpler, as the application uses data
generated from the feedback gathered from the students to provide clear and intelligent
suggestions. Such applications can automate routine improvements to provide a great
quality of education by making them feel they are working with someone which helps to
resolve their issue.

1.8 EXISTING SYSTEM

In the existing system there is absence of a guide​. Now-a-days nobody really has time
and the managers who have to mentor multiple educators and tech associates might not
get the time to monitor each of them regularly and frequently. This lack of mentorship
and not knowing where they lack, can lead to bad teaching practices. ​So, while dealing
with studies and knowledge gathering, we cannot be limited to any particular thing.

1.8.1 Limitations:
• Everyone finds it difficult while we are learning under the absence of the
guide.

• Many educators who are really interested to improve and learn new things
might get stuck in between and find difficult to proceed further.

• Many educators might lose interest and continue their average teaching
process because of not knowing where they lack.

1.9 PROPOSED SYSTEM

PERFORMAX renders graphs based on the performance of the educator and tech
associates assessed via feedback given by students. The proposed solution is to create an
application which provides suggestions and links to other ETA related activities to assist
educators and tech associates with their certain needs and to provide a more personal
experience.

1.9.1 Advantages:
● The proposed solution is an application which provides suggestions to
assist educators and tech associates for improving their teaching skills.

● PERFORMAX will query data from database, what the user is asking and
generate an appropriate response based on the queried data in the form of
graphical representation.

● Certain provided Links would facilitate navigation to different ETA related

activities.

● The graphical representation leads to better performance analysis of the

educator and tech associate.

● It saves time, easy to use and helps in self-monitoring.

 CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 PERFORMAX
​Literature survey is the most important step in software development process. Before
developing the tool, it is necessary to determine the time factor, economy and company
strength. Once these things are satisfied, the next step is to determine which language is to
be used for developing the tool. Once programmer starts coding, they need lots of external
support. This can be obtained by senior programmers. Before building the system, the
above consideration should be taken into account.

2.1.1 PERFORMAX WITH CHARTING COMPONENTS

PERFORMAX does performance analysis using graph rendering, ​enhances web
applications by adding interactive charting capability. Google Charts provides wide
variety of charts. For example, line charts, spline charts, area charts, bar charts, pie charts
and so on​.

Google Charts is a pure JavaScript based charting library meant to enhance web
applications by adding interactive charting capability. It supports a wide range of charts.
Charts are drawn using SVG in standard browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and
Internet Explorer (IE). In legacy IE 6, VML is used to draw the graphics.

Following are the salient features of Google Charts library.

3.5.5 Flask integration:

Flask is often referred to as a micro framework. It aims to keep the core of an

application simple yet extensible. Flask does not have built-in abstraction layer
for database handling, nor does it has form a validation support. Instead, Flask
supports the extensions to add such functionality to the application.
3.5.6 What is Web Framework?
Web Application Framework or simply Web Framework represents a collection
of libraries and modules that enables a web application developer to write
applications without having to bother about low-level details such as protocols,
thread management etc.

3.5.7 What is Flask?

Flask is a web application framework written in Python. It is developed by Armin
Ronacher, who leads an international group of Python enthusiasts named Pocco.
Flask is based on the Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Both
are Pocco projects.

Example :​The following code shows a simple web application that prints "Hello
World!":

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")

def hello():

return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__": app_run()

3.5.8 ASSIST EDGE

5.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULES

5.2.1 UI MODULE

Technologies used:

● HTML

● CSS

● BOOTSTRAP

● JAVASCRIPT

5.2.1.1 HTML

HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML stands
for ​H​yper​t​ext ​M​arkup ​L​anguage, and it is the most widely used language to write Web
Pages.

● Hypertext​ refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked
together. Thus, the link available on a webpage is called Hypertext.

● As its name suggests, HTML is a ​Markup Language​ which means you use
HTML to simply "mark-up" a text document with tags that tell a Web browser
how to structure it to display.
 Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents
like headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific
information between researchers.

Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags
available in HTML language.

● HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

● HTML describes the structure of Web pages using markup.
● HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages.
● HTML elements are represented by tags.
5.2.1.2 CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets ​C​ascading ​S​tyle ​S​heets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a
simple design language intended to simplify the process of making web pages
presentable.
CSS handles the look and feel part of a web page. Using CSS, you can control the color of the
text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid
out, what background images or colors are used, layout designs, variations in display for
different devices and screen sizes as well as a variety of other effects.

CSS is easy to learn and understand but it provides powerful control over the
presentation of an HTML document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup
languages HTML or XHTML.

Advantages of CSS
● CSS saves time​ − You can write CSS once and then reuse same sheet in multiple
HTML pages. You can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as
many Web pages as you want.

● Pages load faster​ − If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML tag
attributes every time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all the
occurrences of that tag. So less code means faster download times.
 ● Easy maintenance​ − To make a global change, simply change the style, and all
elements in all the web pages will be updated automatically.

● Superior styles to HTML​ − CSS has a much wider array of attributes than
HTML, so you can give a far better look to your HTML page in comparison to
HTML attributes.

● Multiple Device Compatibility​ − Style sheets allow content to be optimized for

more than one type of device. By using the same HTML document, different
versions of a website can be presented for handheld devices such as PDAs and
cell phones or for printing.

● Global web standards​ − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is
being recommended to use CSS. So, it’s a good idea to start using CSS in all the
HTML pages to make them compatible to future browsers.

5.2.1.3 JAVASCRIPT

Javascript is the programming language of HTML and the Web. ​Javascript​ (​JS​) is a
lightweight interpreted or just-in-time compiled programming language with ​first-class
functions​. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages.

Client-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. The script should be
included in or referenced by an HTML document for the code to be interpreted by the
browser.

It means that a web page need not be a static HTML, but can include programs that
interact with the user, control the browser, and dynamically create HTML content.

The JavaScript client-side mechanism provides many advantages over traditional CGI
server-side scripts. For example, you might use JavaScript to check if the user has
entered a valid e-mail address in a form field.

The JavaScript code is executed when the user submits the form, and only if all the
entries are valid, they would be submitted to the Web Server.
JavaScript can be used to trap user-initiated events such as button clicks, link navigation,
and other actions that the user initiates explicitly or implicitly.

Advantages of JavaScript

The merits of using JavaScript are −

● Less server interaction​ − You can validate user input before sending the page
off to the server. This saves server traffic, which means less load on your server.

● Immediate feedback to the visitors​ − They don't have to wait for a page reload
to see if they have forgotten to enter something.

● Increased interactivity​ − You can create interfaces that react when the user
hovers over them with a mouse or activates them via the keyboard.

● Richer interfaces​ − You can use JavaScript to include such items as

drag-and-drop components and sliders to give a Rich Interface to your site
visitors.

5.2.1.4 BOOTSTRAP

Bootstrap is the popular HTML, CSS and JavaScript framework for developing a
responsive and mobile friendly website.

Bootstrap includes all topics such as jumbotron, table, button, grid, form, image, alert,
wells, container, carousel, panels, glyphicon, badges, labels, progress bar, pagination,
pager, list group, dropdown, collapse,tabs, pills, navbar, inputs, modals, tooltip, popover
and scrollspy.

● Bootstrap is a free front-end framework for faster and easier web development.
● Bootstrap includes HTML and CSS based design templates for typography, forms,
buttons, tables, navigation, modals, image carousels and many other, as well as
optional JavaScript plugins.
● Bootstrap also gives you the ability to easily create responsive designs.

5.2.2 The middle layer module

Technologies used:
 ● Python Flask

Flask is a web application framework written in Python. Armin Ronacher, who leads an
international group of Python enthusiasts named Pocco, develops it. Flask is based on
Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Both are Pocco projects.

5.2.2.1 ​What is Web Framework?

Web Application Framework or simply Web Framework represents a collection of

libraries and modules that enables a web application developer to write applications
without having to bother about low-level details such as protocols, thread management
etc.

5.2.2.2 What is Flask?

Flask is a web application framework written in Python. It is developed by ​Armin
Ronacher​, who leads an international group of Python enthusiasts named Pocco. Flask is
based on the Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Both are Pocco
projects.

5.2.2.3 HTTP protocol

Http protocol is the foundation of data communication in world wide web. Different
methods of data retrieval from specified URL are defined in this protocol.

The following table summarizes different http methods –

Sr.No. Methods & Description

1 GET

Sends data in unencrypted form to the server. Most common method.

2 HEAD

Same as GET, but without response body

3 POST

Used to send HTML form data to server. Data received by POST method is not
cached by server.
4 PUT

Replaces all current representations of the target resource with the uploaded
content.

5 DELETE

Removes all current representations of the target resource given by a URL

Table 5.1 HTTP methods

By default, the Flask route responds to the ​GET​ requests. However, generating HTML
content from Python code is cumbersome, especially when variable data and Python
language elements like conditionals or loops need to be put. This would require frequent
escaping from HTML.

This is where one can take advantage of ​Jinja2​ template engine, on which Flask is based.
Instead of returning hardcode HTML from the function, a HTML file can be rendered by
the ​render_template()​ function.

5.2.2.3 Session
Unlike a Cookie, ​Session​ data is stored on server. Session is the time interval when a
client logs into a server and logs out of it. The data, which is needed to be held across
this session, is stored in a temporary directory on the server.

A session with each client is assigned a ​Session ID​. The Session data is stored on top of
cookies and the server signs them cryptographically. For this encryption, a Flask
application needs a defined ​SECRET_KEY​.

Session object is also a dictionary object containing key-value pairs of session variables
and associated values.

5.2.3 The database module

Technologies used:

● Oracle

● PL SQL
5.2.3.1 Oracle

The acronym ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. It refers to the systems and
software packages used by organizations to manage day-to-day business.

Oracle E-Business Suite is one of the most reputed ERP product which is currently
available in the market – developed by Oracle. In the world of enterprise resource
planning, very few software products have really made to the top ranks when it comes to
worldwide implementations. Based on market share – SAP, Microsoft Dynamics are the
close vendors who try to get the ERP share in almost all the regions.

What is Oracle E-Business Suite?

Oracle’s E-Business Suite (also known as Applications/Apps or EB-Suite/EBS) consists

of a collection of enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management

(CRM), and supply-chain management (SCM) computer applications either developed or

acquired by Oracle.

5.2.3.2 PL SQL

The PL/SQL programming language was developed by Oracle Corporation in the late
1980s as procedural extension language for SQL and the Oracle relational database.
Following are certain notable facts about PL/SQL −

● PL/SQL is a completely portable, high-performance transaction-processing

language.

● PL/SQL provides a built-in, interpreted and OS independent programming

environment.

● PL/SQL can also directly be called from the command-line ​SQL*Plus interface​.

● Direct call can also be made from external programming language calls to
database.

● PL/SQL's general syntax is based on that of ADA and Pascal programming

language.

● Apart from Oracle, PL/SQL is available in ​Times Ten in-memory

database​ and ​IBM DB2​.
 Features of PL/SQL

PL/SQL has the following features −

● PL/SQL is tightly integrated with SQL.

● It offers extensive error checking.

● It offers numerous data types.

● It offers a variety of programming structures.

● It supports structured programming through functions and procedures.

● It supports object-oriented programming.

5.2.5 Agile Methodology

AGILE methodology is a practice that promotes continuous iteration of development and
testing throughout the software development lifecycle of the project. Both
development and testing activities are concurrent unlike the Waterfall model.

The project is based on Agile methodology. Agile methodology is a type of project

management process, mainly used for software development, where demands and
solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and
cross-functional teams and their customers.

The agile software development emphasizes on four core values.

● Individual and team interactions over processes and tools

● Working software over comprehensive documentation

● Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

● Responding to change over following a plan

12 Principles of Agile

1. Customer satisfaction through early and continuous software delivery.

2. Accommodate changing requirements throughout the development process.

 3. Frequent delivery of working software.

4. Collaboration between the business stakeholders and developers throughout

the project.

5. Support, trust, and motivate the people involved.

6. Enable face-to-face interactions.

7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.

8. Agile processes to support a consistent development pace.

9. Attention to technical detail and design enhances agility.

10. Simplicity.

11. Self-organizing teams encourage great architectures, requirements, and

designs.

12. Regular reflections on how to become more effective.

5.2.6 Scrum
Scrum is an agile way to manage a project, usually software development. Agile software
development with Scrum is often perceived as a methodology; but rather than
viewing Scrum as methodology, think of it as a framework for managing a process.

The Scrum Values:

Although always considered to be a part of Scrum and often written about, in July 2016,
the Scrum Values were added to The Scrum Guide. These values include Courage,
Focus, Commitment, Respect, and Openness. Read the ​Scrum Guide​ to learn more about
these values, how they apply to Scrum and ​download​ this poster.

The Scrum Events:

Prescribed events are used in Scrum to create regularity and to minimize the need for
meetings not defined in Scrum. All events are time-boxed. Once a Sprint begins, its
duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events may end
whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is
spent without allowing waste in the process.

The Scrum Events are:

● Sprint
● Sprint Planning
● Daily Scrum
● Sprint Review
● Sprint Retrospective

7.2 TESTING LEVELS

7.2.1 FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Functional Testing is a type of software testing whereby the system is tested against the
functional requirements/specifications. Functions (or features) are tested by feeding them
input and examining the output. Functional testing ensures that the requirements are
properly satisfied by the application. This type of testing is not concerned with how
processing occurs, but rather, with the results of processing. It simulates actual system
usage but does not make any system structure assumptions. During functional
testing, ​Black Box Testing​ technique is used in which the internal logic of the system
being tested is not known to the tester. Functional testing is normally performed during
the levels of ​System Testing​ and ​Acceptance Testing​.

Typically, functional testing involves the following steps:

● Identify functions that the software is expected to perform.

● Create input data based on the function’s specifications.
● Determine the output based on the function’s specifications.
● Execute the ​test case​.
● Compare the actual and expected outputs.

7.2.2 NON-FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Non-functional testing is defined as a type of Software testing to check non-functional

aspects (performance, usability, reliability, etc) of a software application. It is designed to
test the readiness of a system as per nonfunctional parameters which are never addressed
by functional testing. An excellent example of non-functional test would be to check how
many people can simultaneously login into a software. Non-functional testing is equally
important as functional testing and affects client satisfaction.

7.2.2.1 Non-functional testing Parameters

1) Security: ​The parameter defines how a system is safeguarded against deliberate and
sudden attacks from internal and external sources. This is tested via Security Testing.

2) Reliability:

The extent to which any software system continuously performs the specified functions
without failure. This is tested by Reliability Testing

3) Survivability:

The parameter checks that the software system continues to function and recovers itself in
case of system failure. This is checked by Recovery Testing

4) Availability:

The parameter determines the degree to which user can depend on the system during its
operation. This is checked by Stability Testing.
5) Usability:

The ease with which the user can learn, operate, prepare inputs and outputs through
interaction with a system. This is checked by Usability Testing

6) Scalability:

The term refers to the degree in which any software application can expand its processing
capacity to meet an increase in demand. This is tested by Scalability Testing.

7) Interoperability:

This non-functional parameter checks a software system interfaces with other software
systems. This is checked by Interoperability Testing.

8) Efficiency:

The extent to which any software system can handles capacity, quantity and response
time.

9) Flexibility:

The term refers to the ease with which the application can work in different hardware and
software configurations. Like minimum RAM, CPU requirements.

10) Portability:

The flexibility of software to transfer from its current hardware or software environment.

11) Reusability:

It refers to a portion of the software system that can be converted for use in another
application.

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover
every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the
functionality of components, subassemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product it is the
process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the Software system meets
its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an unacceptable manner. There
are various types of test. Each test type addresses a specific testing requirement.
7.3 WHITEBOX TESTING

White Box Testing (also known as Clear Box Testing, Open Box Testing, Glass Box
Testing, Transparent Box Testing, Code-Based Testing or Structural Testing) is a
software testing method in which the internal structure/design/implementation of the item
being tested is known to the tester. The tester chooses inputs to exercise paths through the
code and determines the appropriate outputs. Programming know-how and the
implementation knowledge is essential. White box testing is testing beyond the user
interface and into the nitty-gritty of a system.

Types of White Box Testing

White box testing encompasses several testing types used to evaluate the usability of an
application, block of code or specific software package. There are listed below –

● Unit Testing: It is often the first type of testing done on an application. Unit
testing is performed on each unit or block of code as it is developed. Unit Testing
is essentially done by the programmer. As a software developer, you develop a
few lines of code, a single function or an object and test it to make sure it works
before continuing Unit Testing helps identify a majority of bugs, early in the
software development lifecycle. Bugs identified in this stage are cheaper and easy
to fix.

● Testing for Memory Leaks: Memory leaks are leading causes of slower running
applications. A QA specialist who is experienced at detecting memory leaks is
essential in cases where you have a slow running software application.

Apart from above, a few testing types are part of both black box and white box testing.
They are listed as below

● White Box Penetration Testing: In this testing, the tester/developer has full
information of the application's source code, detailed network information, IP
addresses involved and all server information the application runs on. The aim is
to attack the code from several angles to expose security threats
7.4 DIFFERENT STAGES OF TESTING

7.4.1 UNIT TESTING

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic
is functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs. All decision
branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual
software units of the application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit
before integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction
and is invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and test a specific
business process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that each
unique path of a business process performs accurately to the documented specifications
and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.
7.4.2 INTEGRATION TESTING
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine if they
actually run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned with the basic
outcome of screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components
were individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the combination of
components is correct and consistent. Integration testing is specifically aimed at
exposing the problems that arise from the combination of components.

7.4.3 SYSTEM TESTING

System testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete, integrated

system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System
testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and as such, should require no
knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic. As a rule, system testing takes, as its

input, all of the "integrated" software components that have successfully passed
integration testing and also the software system itself integrated with any applicable
hardware system(s).

System testing is a more limited type of testing; it seeks to detect defects both within the
"inter-assemblages" and also within the system as a whole. System testing is performed
on the entire system in the context of a Functional Requirement Specification(s) (FRS)
and/or a System Requirement Specification (SRS).

System testing tests not only the design, but also the behavior and even the believed
expectations of the customer. It is also intended to test up to and beyond the bounds
defined in the software/hardware requirements specification(s).

7.4.4 VALIDATION TESTING

An engineering validation test (EVT) is performed on first engineering prototypes, to

ensure that the basic unit performs to design goals and specifications. It is important in
identifying design problems, and solving them as early in the design cycle as possible, is
the key to keeping projects on time and within budget. The old adage holds true: It costs a
penny to make a change in engineering, a dime in production and a dollar after a product
is in the field. Verification is a Quality control process that is used to evaluate whether or
not a product, service, or system complies with regulations, specifications, or conditions
imposed at the start of a development phase.

The testing process overview is as follows:

Figure 7.1: The testing process

CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
8.1 CONCLUSION
In this application “Performax”, we have worked to facilitate performance analysis of
users such as educators or tech associates. The educator and tech associate to student ratio
is quite low, so an educator is responsible for educating a huge number of students. If the
educator isn’t doing a good job many students suffer .One of the great benefits of
performance analysis via feedback generated from students is that an overall area of
improvement is easily identified and saves time. User can also refer to the links and
suggestions for improving skills.

8.2 FUTURE SCOPE

PERFORMAX project can be enhanced by adding the following features:

● Using Assist edge to automate the process of data gathering.

● Facility for multi-language access.
● More interactive user interface.
● Accessing this project in mobile devices which can be more helpful to users.
● Adding a chatbot to help out the user with interactive communication.
● Integrating social media for example, educator can share his/her performance on
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn etc.
● User is able to download report in multiple forms like .pdf or docs..
● Creating it more interactive by adding various other modules of datasets.
● Different users can create chat rooms for helping out each other.
