LDRP-ITR 4
 2.1 Technologies

Collegebot embraces a cutting-edge technology stack, ensuring a robust, scalable, and

efficient platform for users.

2.1.1 Frontend Development

 HTML: In the context of a chatbot, HTML is typically used for creating the frontend
or user interface that users interact with. While chatbots often involve more dynamic
and interactive elements handled by backend technologies, HTML remains essential
for structuring the layout and content of the chatbot interface.

2.1.2 Backend Development

 Python; Python's natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, supported by

libraries like NLTK or spaCy, enhance the chatbot's ability to understand and respond
to user inputs intelligently.Python plays a central role in the backend of a chatbot,
providing the necessary tools for processing user inputs, managing conversations, and
delivering meaningful responses.

2.2 Literature Review

A literature review on chatbots in a college context reveals a growing body of

research and applications aimed at enhancing student experiences and administrative
processes. Scholars have explored the integration of chatbots in higher education to
provide personalized assistance, streamline information retrieval, and improve
communication. Studies highlight the potential of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) techniques within chatbots to better understand and respond to student queries
effectively.

  Web Development Best Practices: Aligning with established best practices in web
development, we prioritized security, scalability, and user experience. This included
implementing secure authentication mechanisms, optimizing frontend performance,
and ensuring data integrity.

 Draw.io: Utilizing Draw.io, a versatile diagramming tool, facilitated the creation of

detailed architecture diagrams. This visual aid enhanced our team's communication
and understanding of the system's structure.

This technology and literature review guided the strategic choices and implementation details
of this platform, ensuring a modern, secure, and user-friendly experience .

3.3.1 Assumptions

• Database transactions are assumed to be secure and reliable.

• User is the person having enough knowledge for the traversing operation.
• We will provide a user friendly interface so that any user can easily navigate through
the system, but he/she should be capable of providing valid credentials for successful
login.
• The server used for data storing is always secured.

3.3.2 Dependencies

• The system is dependent upon the user’s valid credentials. If user inputs wrong
username or password, he/she will not be allowed to login to the system.
• This application depends on the server and internet as all the information is collected
and then stored in the server through secure internet connection.
• All the users of the system will be assigned a specific role. According to these roles
each and every user will be allowed to access predefined set of features.
