4.3 Problem and Weaknesses of Current System

Delayed Updates: One of the primary issues users encounter is delayed or inconsistent updates in
live cricket scores. This can be due to technical issues, slow data retrieval processes, or reliance on
unreliable data sources.

Limited Features: Some platforms may offer limited features beyond basic live score updates,
such as lacking comprehensive player statistics, match analysis, or interactive features like
ball-by-ball commentary or video highlights.

Poor User Experience: Complex navigation, cluttered interfaces, and slow loading times can

16
 CHAPTER 4. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

contribute to a poor user experience. Users may find it difficult to locate desired information
quickly or navigate between different sections of the platform.

Data Accuracy and Reliability: Inaccurate or outdated information, including scores, player
statistics, or match schedules, can erode user trust and credibility. Dependence on unreliable data
sources or manual data entry processes may lead to inconsistencies and errors.

Limited Accessibility: Some platforms may not be optimized for accessibility across various
devices and screen sizes, leading to usability issues on mobile devices or tablets. Lack of offline
access or support for low-bandwidth connections can further restrict accessibility.

Monetization Challenges: Monetizing live cricket score platforms can be challenging,

especially when relying solely on advertising revenue or premium subscriptions. Finding a balance
between user experience and revenue generation without alienating users with intrusive ads or high
subscription fees is crucial.

Competition and Market Saturation: The live cricket score space is highly competitive, with
numerous established platforms vying for user attention. Breaking through the clutter and
differentiating from competitors can be difficult, especially for new entrants or smaller players.

Scalability and Performance: Scalability issues may arise during peak traffic periods, such as
major tournaments or high-profile matches, leading to slow loading times or service disruptions.
Inadequate server infrastructure or inefficient data retrieval processes can exacerbate performance
issues.

Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to regulatory requirements and licensing agreements for

accessing and distributing cricket-related data can be challenging. Non-compliance with copyright
laws or data protection regulations may result in legal issues or restrictions on data access.

Lack of Innovation: Some platforms may lack innovation in terms of features, content
presentation, or user engagement strategies, leading to stagnation and reduced user interest over
time.

Testing

7.1 Testing Plan

The testing plan for a Live Cricket Score web-based project encompasses various

aspects to ensure the platform’s functionality, performance, usability, and reliability

meet user expectations. The testing plan involves several stages, including unit

testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

In unit testing, individual components and modules are tested in isolation to

verify their correctness and functionality. This involves testing functions, methods,

and classes to ensure they perform as expected and handle edge cases appropriately.

Integration testing follows, where different modules are combined and tested

together to validate their interactions and interoperability. This ensures that data

flows smoothly between components and that integration points are functioning

correctly.

System testing focuses on testing the entire system as a whole, including its user

interface, backend logic, and external integrations. This involves testing end-to-

end scenarios to simulate user interactions and workflows, such as searching for

matches, viewing live scores, and receiving notifications. Performance testing is

also conducted during this stage to evaluate the system’s response times, scalability,

and resource usage under various load conditions.

Once the system testing phase is complete, user acceptance testing (UAT)

is performed to validate the system’s compliance with user requirements and

expectations. This involves engaging real users or stakeholders to test the platform’s

usability, accessibility, and overall user experience. Feedback gathered during UAT

is used to identify any remaining issues or improvements needed before the project

is released to production.

Additionally, regression testing is conducted throughout the testing process to

ensure that new changes or enhancements do not introduce regressions or break

existing functionality. Automated testing frameworks and tools may be utilized to

streamline the testing process and ensure consistent test coverage across different

components and scenarios.

Overall, the testing plan for the Live Cricket Score web-based project aims to

validate the platform’s functionality, performance, and user experience across

various stages of development, ensuring a high-quality and reliable product for end

users.

1. Unit Testing:

• Objective: Validate the functionality of individual components, modules,

and functions.
