5.1.3 SOFTWARE METHODOLOGY:

 Application System Development – A Life Cycle Approach

Although there are a growing number of applications (such as decision support systems)
that should be developed using an experimental process strategy such as prototyping, a
significant amount of new development work continues to involve major operational
applications of broad scope. The application systems are large highly structured. User task
comprehension and developer task proficiency is usually high. These factors suggest a linear
or iterative assurance strategy. The most common method for this stage class of problems is a
system development life cycle modal in which each stage of development is well defined and
has straightforward requirements for deliverables, feedback and sign off. The system
development life cycle is described in detail since it continues to be an appropriate
methodology for a significant part of new development work.
The basic idea of the system development life cycle is that there is a well-defined
process by which an application is conceived and developed and implemented. The life cycle
gives structure to a creative process. In order to manage and control the development effort, it
is necessary to know what should have been done, what has been done, and what has yet to
be accomplished. The phrases in the system development life cycle provide a basis for
management and control because they define segments of the flow of work, which can be
identified for managerial purposes and specifies the documents or other deliverables to be
produced in each phase.
The software methodology adopted for this project encompasses both the object-oriented
methodology and the application system development methodologies. Here's a detailed
description of these methodologies:

22
Department Of Computer Technology
 Object-Oriented Methodology:
Object-oriented methodology is a software development approach that focuses on modeling
software systems as collections of objects that interact with each other. This methodology
emphasizes the use of encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to create modular,
reusable, and maintainable software components. Object-oriented analysis and design
(OOAD) techniques, such as use case modeling, class diagrams, and sequence diagrams, are
employed to visualize and define the system's requirements and design. By modeling
software systems in terms of objects and their interactions, this methodology promotes code
reusability, flexibility, and scalability.
 Application System Development – A Life Cycle Approach:
This methodology involves a structured approach to software development, particularly
suited for large-scale, operational applications with well-defined requirements and
deliverables. It follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) model, which consists of
sequential phases, each with defined objectives, activities, and deliverables. The SDLC
phases typically include requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing,
deployment, and maintenance. This approach provides a systematic framework for managing
and controlling the development process, ensuring that all necessary tasks are completed, and
deliverables are produced according to schedule and quality standards. The system
development life cycle provides a structured framework for conceiving, developing, and
implementing software applications. It defines a well-defined process that guides the
development effort and ensures that all aspects of the project are managed and controlled
effectively. By breaking down the development process into distinct phases, the SDLC
facilitates project management, resource allocation, and risk mitigation. Additionally, it
defines clear requirements for deliverables, feedback, and sign-off, enabling stakeholders to
monitor progress and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

Overall, the combination of object-oriented methodology and application system

development methodologies provides a comprehensive approach to software development,
balancing the benefits of object-oriented design principles with the structured framework of
the SDLC. This approach ensures that the project follows best practices, meets stakeholder
expectations, and delivers a high-quality software solution that aligns with the project's
objectives and requirements.

23
Department Of Computer Technology
 The phases in the life cycle for information system development are described
differently by different writers, but the differences are primarily in the amount of necessity
and manner of categorization. There is a general agreement on the flow of development steps
and the necessity for control procedures at each stage.
The information system development cycle for an application consists of four major stages.
1) Definition.
2) Design.
3) Development.
4) Installation and Operation.
The first stage of the process, which defines the information requirements for a feasible cost
effective system. The requirements are then translated into a physical system of forms,
procedures, programs etc., by the system design, computer programming and procedure
development. The resulting system is test and put into operation. No system is perfect so
there is always a need for maintenance changes. To complete the cycle, there should be a post
audit of the system to evaluate how well it performs and how well it meets the cost and
performance specifications. The stages of definition, development and installation and
operation can therefore be divided into smaller steps or phrases as follows.

 DEFINITION: -
Proposed definition: Preparation of request for proposed applications.
Feasibility assessment: Evaluation of feasibility and cost benefit of proposed system.
24
Department Of Computer Technology
Information requirement
analysis: Determination of information needed.

 DESIGN: -

Operation and Maintenance: Month to month operation and maintenance
Post Audit: Evaluation of development process, application system and
results of use at the completion of each phase, formal approval
sign-off is required from the users as well as from the manager
of the project development.

The activity diagram illustrates the flow of activities within the "Resume and Certificate
Builder" Android app project. Here's a breakdown of the theory behind the diagram:

User Interaction with UI: The process begins with the user interacting with the User
Interface (UI) of the application. This includes actions such as selecting templates,
customizing documents, and submitting the customization.

User Authentication: Before proceeding with customization and document generation, the
app verifies the user's authentication status. If the user is authenticated (i.e., logged in), they
can proceed with the document creation process. If not, they are prompted to log in or
register.

Template Selection and Customization: Once authenticated, the user can select a template
from the Template Repository and customize it according to their preferences. This may
involve entering personal details, educational background, professional experience, etc.

Document Generation: After customization, the app generates the resume or certificate
based on the selected template and user input. This step involves processing the data and
formatting it into a cohesive document.

Document Storage: If the document is successfully generated, it is then stored in the

database for future access. This ensures that users can retrieve their resumes and certificates
whenever needed.

Error Handling: Throughout the process, error handling mechanisms are in place to handle
various scenarios such as authentication failures, template selection errors, customization
issues, and document generation errors. If any step encounters an error, the process stops,
and the user is informed accordingly.

Overall, the activity diagram provides a visual representation of the sequential flow of
activities within the app, guiding users through the document creation process while
ensuring a seamless and error-free experience.

application to input their personal, educational, and professional data. This data is then passed
on to various modules for further processing.
The Authentication Module handles user authentication data, including login credentials and
authentication status. When a user attempts to log in or register, their authentication data is
verified against the stored credentials in the system. If successful, the user gains access to the
application's features; otherwise, access is denied.
The Template Repository module manages a collection of resume and certificate templates
available to users. When a user selects a template from the repository, the template data is
retrieved and provided to the User Interface for display and customization.
The Database Access Module acts as an intermediary between the application and the
Firebase database. It handles database queries to retrieve user data, template information, and
finalized documents from the database. Additionally, it facilitates the storage of newly created
documents back into the database for future access.

7.4.1 TESTING OBJECTIVES:

 Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error
 A good test case is one that has a probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error.
 A successful test is one that uncovers an undiscovered error

 Validation of Requirements:
49
Department Of Computer Technology
Testing aims to validate that the software meets the specified requirements outlined in the
project documentation. By executing test cases designed to cover each requirement, testers
ensure that the software behaves as expected and fulfills its intended purpose.

 Verification of Functionality:
Testing verifies that all functionalities of the software perform as intended. This includes
testing individual features, user interactions, and system behaviors to ensure they meet the
user's needs and expectations.

 Identification of Defects:
Testing aims to identify defects or bugs present in the software. Testers systematically
execute test cases to uncover errors, inconsistencies, or unexpected behaviors, allowing
developers to address them before release.

 Assessment of Quality:
Testing evaluates the overall quality of the software, including factors such as reliability,
usability, performance, and security. By assessing these quality attributes, testers ensure that
the software meets the desired standards and provides a satisfactory user experience.

 To be most effective testing should be conducted by an independent third party

50
Department Of Computer Technology
 The primary objective for test case design is to derive a set of tests that has the highest
livelihood for uncovering defects in software. To accomplish this objective two different
categories of test case design techniques are used. They are
 White Box Testing
 Black Box Testing
 White Box Testing: -
White box testing focus on the program control structure. Test cases are derived to ensure that
all statements in the program have been executed at least once during testing and that all
logical conditions have been executed. White box testing, also known as structural or glass
box testing, is a software testing technique that focuses on the internal logic and structure of
the software being tested. Unlike black box testing, which only examines the external
behavior of the software, white box testing involves inspecting the code and testing the
program's control flow, branches, loops, and internal data structures.

The primary objective of white box testing is to ensure that the software functions correctly at
the code level, by verifying that all statements, branches, and conditions within the code are
executed and behave as expected. This helps identify errors or flaws in the code logic, such as
missing or unreachable code, incorrect conditional statements, or logic errors.

 White box testing techniques include:

Statement Coverage: This technique aims to ensure that every statement in the code is
executed at least once during testing. Test cases are designed to traverse through each line of
code, verifying its functionality. Branch Coverage: Branch coverage focuses on testing all
possible outcomes of decision points (such as if-else statements or switch cases) within the
code. Test cases are designed to exercise both true and false branches of conditional
statements, ensuring comprehensive testing of decision logic. Path Coverage: Path coverage
aims to test every possible path through the code, including all possible combinations of
branches and loops. Test cases are designed to traverse through each unique path, ensuring
that all code paths are exercised.

 Condition Coverage:
This technique focuses on testing all logical conditions within the code, ensuring that each
condition evaluates to both true and false during testing. Test cases are designed to cover all
possible combinations of conditions within conditional statements.
 Loop Coverage:

51
Department Of Computer Technology
Loop coverage aims to test the behavior of loops within the code, including the execution of
loop iterations and termination conditions. Test cases are designed to exercise different loop
scenarios, such as zero iterations, single iterations, and multiple iterations.

 Black Box Testing: -

Black box testing is designed to validate functional requirements without regard to the
internal workings of a program. Black box testing mainly focuses on the information domain
of the software, deriving test cases by partitioning input and output in a manner that provides
through test coverage. Incorrect and missing functions, interface errors, errors in data
structures, error in functional logic are the errors falling in this category. Black box testing,
also known as behavioural, functional, or specification-based testing, is a software testing
technique that focuses on validating the functionality of a software application without
examining its internal code structure. In black box testing, testers are only concerned with the
inputs to the software, the expected outputs, and how the software behaves in response to
those inputs.

The key characteristics of black box testing include:

 Focus on Functional Requirements:

Black box testing is designed to verify that the software meets its functional requirements as
specified in the requirements documentation. Test cases are derived based on the expected
behaviour of the software, without considering how the software is implemented internally.

 Independence from Internal Implementation:

Testers do not have access to the internal code or design of the software being tested. Instead,
they interact with the software through its user interface or external interfaces, treating the
software as a "black box" whose internal workings are not visible.

 Test Case Derivation from Specifications:

Test cases in black box testing are derived based on the software's specifications,
requirements, and functional design. Testers analyze the software's inputs, outputs, and
behaviour to identify test scenarios that cover a range of possible inputs and usage scenarios.

 Partitioning Input and Output:

Test cases are designed to partition the input space of the software into equivalence classes or
boundary values, ensuring thorough test coverage. Similarly, output values are categorized to
verify that the software produces the expected outputs under different conditions.

 Error Detection:
Black box testing aims to detect errors or defects in the software's functionality, including
incorrect or missing functions, interface errors, errors in data structures, and errors in
functional logic. Testers systematically execute test cases to identify deviations from
expected behavior and report any discrepancies as defects.

52
Department Of Computer Technology
 Test Case Prioritization:
Test cases may be prioritized based on risk, complexity, or other factors to ensure efficient
testing. High-priority test cases cover critical functionalities or scenarios that are most likely
to result in defects if they fail.

 Black box testing:

This techniques include equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table
testing, state transition testing, and use case testing, among others. These techniques help
ensure thorough test coverage while focusing on validating the software's functionality from
an external perspective.

 Testing Strategies:
A strategy for software testing must accommodate low-level tests that are necessary to
verify that all small source code segment has been correctly implemented as well as high-
level tests that validate major system functions against customer requirements. In addition
to accommodating low-level tests for verifying small source code segments, a
comprehensive testing strategy should include high-level tests that validate major system
functions against customer requirements. This entails defining a hierarchy of testing levels,
including unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing.

 Unit Testing:
At the lowest level, unit tests are performed to verify individual components or modules of
the software in isolation. This ensures that each unit functions correctly according to its
design and specifications.

 Integration Testing:
Integration tests focus on verifying the interaction and interoperability between different
units or modules of the software. This ensures that components work together seamlessly
when integrated into larger subsystems or the overall system.

 System Testing:
System tests validate the entire software system as a whole, verifying that all components
and subsystems function together as expected and meet the specified requirements. This
involves testing various scenarios and use cases to assess the system's behavior under
different conditions.

 Acceptance Testing:
Acceptance tests are performed to validate that the software meets the requirements and
expectations of end-users or stakeholders. This often involves executing predefined test
cases or scenarios that simulate real-world usage to ensure that the software fulfills its
intended purpose. In addition to these testing levels, various testing techniques and
methodologies can be employed, such as black box testing, white box testing, regression

53
Department Of Computer Technology
testing, and exploratory testing. The choice of testing techniques depends on factors such as
the nature of the software, project requirements, and available resources.
Furthermore, the testing strategy should incorporate automation wherever possible to
improve efficiency and effectiveness. Automated testing tools and frameworks can be used to
streamline the testing process, reduce manual effort, and facilitate continuous integration and
delivery practices.
