INTRODUCTION:

CASE tools known as Computer-aided software engineering tools is a kind of


componentbased development which allows its users to rapidly develop information systems. The
main goal of as technology is the automation of the entire information systems development life
cycle process using a set of integrated software tools, such as modeling, methodology and
automatic code generation. Component based manufacturing has several advantages over custom
development. The main advantages are the availability of high quality, defect free products at low
cost and at a faster time. The prefabricated components are customized as per the requirements of
the customers. The components used are pre-built, ready- tested and add value and differentiation
by rapid customization to the targeted customers. However the products we get from case tools are
only a skeleton of the final product required and a lot of programming must be done by hand to
get a fully finished, good product.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CASE:

Some of the characteristics of case tools that make it better than customized development
are;

 It is a graphic oriented tool.


 It supports decomposition of process.

Some typical CASE tools are:

 Unified Modeling Language


 Data modeling tools, and
 Source code generation tools

INTRODUCTION TO UML (UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE):

The UML is a language for specifying, constructing, visualizing, and documenting the
software system and its components. The UML is a graphical language with sets of rules and
semantics. The rules and semantics of a model are expressed in English in a form known as OCL
(Object Constraint Language). OCL uses simple logic for specifying the properties of a system.
The UML is not intended to be a visual programming language. However it has a much closer
mapping to object-oriented programming languages, so that the best of both can be obtained. The
UML is much simpler than other methods preceding it. UML is appropriate for modeling systems,
ranging from enterprise information system to distributed web based application and even to real
time embedded system. It is a very expensive language addressing all views needed to develop and
then to display system even though understand to use. Learning to apply UML effectively starts
forming a conceptual mode of languages which requires learning.
Three major language elements:

• UML basic building blocks


• Rules that dictate how this building blocks put together
• Some common mechanism that apply throughout the language

The primary goals in the design of UML are:

1. Provides users ready to use, expressive visual modeling language as well so they can
develop and exchange meaningful models.

2. Provide extensibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.

3. Be independent of particular programming languages and development processes.

4. Provide formal basis for understanding the modeling language.

5. Encourage the growth of the OO tools market.

6. Support higher-level development concepts.

7. Integrate best practices and methodologies.


Every complex system is best approached through a small set of nearly independent views of a
model. Every model can be expressed at different levels of fidelity. The best models are connected
to reality.

The UML defines nine graphical diagrams:

1. Class diagram
2. Use-Case diagram
3. Behavior diagram
3.1. Interaction diagram
3.1.1.1. Sequence diagram

3.1.1.2. Collaboration diagram

3.2. State Chart diagram


3.3. Activity diagram

4. Implementation diagram
4.1. Component diagram
4.2. Deployment diagram

1. UML class diagram:


The UML class diagram is also known as object modeling. It is a static analysis diagram.
These diagrams show the static structure of the model. A class diagram is a connection of static
model elements, such as classes and their relationships, connected as a graph to each other and
to their contents.

2. Use-case diagram:
The functionality of a system can be described in a number of different use-cases, each of
which represents a specific flow of events in a system. It is a graph of actors, a set of use- cases
enclosed in a boundary, communication, associations between the actors and the use- cases, and
generalization among the use-cases.

3. Behavior diagram:
It is a dynamic model unlike all the others mentioned before. The objects of an object
oriented system are not static and are not easily understood by static diagrams. The behavior of
the class’s instance (an object) is represented in this diagram. Every use-case of the system has
an associated behavior diagram that indicates the behavior of the object. In conjunction with the
use-case diagram we may provide a script or interaction diagram to show a time line of events.
It consists of sequence and collaboration diagrams.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

4. Interaction diagram:
It is the combination of sequence and collaboration diagram. It is used to depict the flow of
events in the system over a timeline. The interaction diagram is a dynamic model which shows
how the system behaves during dynamic execution.

5. State chart diagram:


It consists of state, events and activities. State diagrams are a familiar technique to describe
the behavior of a system. They describe all of the possible states that a particular object can get
into and how the object's state changes as a result of events that reach the object. In most OO
techniques, state diagrams are drawn for a single class to show the lifetime behavior of a single
object.

6. Activity diagram:
It shows organization and their dependence among the set of components. These diagrams
are particularly useful in connection with workflow and in describing behavior that has a lot of
parallel processing. An activity is a state of doing something: either a real-world process, or the
execution of a software routine.

7. Implementation diagram:
It shows the implementation phase of the systems development, such as the source code
structure and the run-time implementation structure. These are relatively simple high-level
diagrams compared to the others seen so far. They are of two sub-diagrams, the component
diagram and the deployment diagram.

8. Component diagram:
These are organizational parts of a UML model. These are boxes to which a model can be
decomposed. They show the structure of the code itself. They model the physical components
such as source code, user interface in a design. It is similar to the concept of packages.

9. Deployment diagram:
The deployment diagram shows the structure of the runtime system. It shows the
configuration of runtime processing elements and the software components that live in them.
They are usually used in conjunction with deployment diagrams to show how physical modules
of code are distributed on the system.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology

NOTATION ELEMENTS:
These are explanatory parts of UML model. They are boxes which may apply to describe
and remark about any element in the model. They provide the information for understanding the
necessary details of the diagrams.

Relations in the UML:


These are four kinds of relationships used in an UML diagram, they are:
• Dependency
• Association
• Generalization
• Realization Dependency:
It is a semantic relationship between two things in which a change one thing affects the
semantics of other things. Graphically a dependency is represented by a non-continuous line.

Association:
It is a structural relationship that describes asset of links. A link is being connected among
objects. Graphically association is represented as a solid line possibly including label.

Generalization:
It is a specialized relationship in which the specialized elements are substitutable for object
of the generalized element. Graphically it is a solid line with hollow arrow head parent.

Realization:
It is a semantic relation between classifiers. Graphically it is represented as a cross between
generalization and dependency relationship.

Where UML can be used:


UML is not limited to modeling software. In fact, it is expressive to model non-software such
as to show in structure and behavior of health case system and to design the hardware of the system.

Conceptual model be UML:


UML you need to form the conceptual model of UML. This requires three major elements:

1. UML basic building blocks.

2. Rules that dictate how this building blocks are put together.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

3. Some common mechanism that apply throughout the language.


Once you have grasped these ideas, you may be able to read. UML create some basic ones. As
you gain more experience in applying conceptual model using more advanced features of this
language.

Building blocks of the UML:


The vocabulary of UML encompasses these kinds of building blocks.

Use CASE definition:


Description:

A use case is a set of scenarios tied together by a common user goal. A use case is a behavioral
diagram that shows a set of use case actions and their relationships.

Purpose:
The purpose of use case is login and exchange messages between sender and receiver (Email
client).

Main flow:
First, the sender gives his id and enters his login. Now, he enters the message to the receiver
id.

Alternate flow:
If the username and id by the sender or receiver is not valid, the administrator will not allow
entering and “Invalid password” message is displayed.

Pre-condition:
A person has to register himself to obtain a login ID.

Post-condition:
The user is not allowed to enter if the password or user name is not valid.
Class diagram:
Description:

• A class diagram describes the type of objects in system and various kinds of relationships
that exists among them.
• Class diagrams and collaboration diagrams are alternate representations of object models.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology

During analysis, we use class diagram to show roles and responsibilities of entities that provide
email client system behaviors design. We use to capture the structure of classes that form the email
client system architecture.
A class diagram is represented as:
<<Class name>>
<<Attribute 1>>
<<Attribute n>>
<<Operation ()>>

Relationship used:
A change in one element affects the other

Generalization:
It is a kind of relationship

State chart:
Description:

• The state chart diagram made the dynamic behavior of individual classes.

• State chart shows the sequences of states that an object goes through events and state
transitions.
• A state chart contains one state ‘start’ and multiple ‘end’ states.
The important objectives are:

Decision:
It represents a specific location state chart diagram where the work flow may branch based
upon guard conditions.

Synchronization:
It gives a simultaneous workflow in a state chart diagram. They visually define forks and
joints representing parallel workflow.

Forks and joins:


• A fork construct is used to model a single flow of control.

• Every work must be followed by a corresponding join.


• Joints have two or more flow that unit into a single flow.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

State:
A state is a condition or situation during a life of an object in which it satisfies condition or
waits for some events.

Transition:
It is a relationship between two activities and between states and activities.

Start state:
A start state shows the beginning of a workflow or beginning of a state machine on a state
chart diagram.

End state:
It is a final or terminal state.

Activity diagram

Description:
Activity diagram provides a way to model the workflow of a development process. We can
also model this code specific information such as class operation using activity diagram. Activity
diagrams can model different types of diagrams. There are various tools involved in the activity
diagram.

Activity:
An activity represents the performance of a task on duty. It may also represent the execution
of a statement in a procedure.

Decision:
A decision represents a condition on situation during the life of an object, which it satisfies
some condition or waits for an event.

Start state:
It represents the condition explicitly the beginning of a workflow on an activity.

Object flow:
An object on an activity diagram represents the relationship between activity and object that
creates or uses it.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

Synchronization:
It enables us to see a simultaneous workflow in an activity.

End state:
An end state represents a final or terminal state on an activity diagram or state chart diagram.

Sequence diagram:
Description:

A sequence diagram is a graphical view of scenario that shows object interaction in a time
based sequence what happens first what happens next. Sequence diagrams are closely related to
collaboration diagram.

The main difference between sequence and collaboration diagram is that sequence diagram show
time based interaction while collaboration diagram shows objects associated with each other.

The sequence diagram for the e-mail client system consists of the following objectives:

Object:
An object has state, behavior and identity. An object is not based is referred to as an instance.

The various objects in e-mail client system are:


• User

• Website

• Login

• Groups
Message icon:
A message icon represents the communication between objects indicating that an action will
follow. The message icon is the horizontal solid arrow connecting lifelines together.

Collaboration diagram:
Description:

Collaboration diagram and sequence diagrams are alternate representations of an interaction.


A collaboration diagram is an interaction diagram that shows the order of messages that implement

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology

an operation or a transaction. Collaboration diagram is an interaction diagram that shows the order
of messages that implement an operation or a transaction. Collaboration diagram shows object s,
their links and their messages. They can also contain simple class instances and class utility
instances. During, analysis indicates the semantics of the primary and secondary interactions.
Design, shows the semantics of mechanisms in the logical design of system. Toggling between the
sequence and collaboration diagrams When we work in either a sequence or collaboration diagram,
it is possible to view the corresponding diagram by pressing F5 key.

PROBLEM IDENTIFIED:

Malicious websites are a major security threat, facilitating various cybercrimes such
as phishing, malware distribution, and identity theft. Many users fall victim to these threats
due to the deceptive nature of such websites. Existing methods, such as blacklists, are
ineffective against zero-hour attacks and newly generated malicious URLs, as attackers use
obfuscation and algorithmic techniques to bypass detection.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

The detection of malicious websites is a crucial task in cybersecurity to protect users


from phishing attacks and other online threats. The existing detection mechanisms primarily
rely on blacklists, which fail to identify newly created malicious URLs. To address this issue,
the proposed system implements both Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)
models for enhanced accuracy in malicious URL detection. ML models such as Decision
Trees, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Adaptive Boost will be used for
feature classification, while a Hybrid Deep Learning Model utilizing an autoencoder
mechanism will optimize detection performance. This approach aims to improve the accuracy
and efficiency of identifying malicious websites while reducing false positives.

Software paradigm is a theoretical framework that serves as a guide for the development and
structure of a software system. There are several software paradigms, including:

• Imperative paradigm: This is the most common paradigm and is based on the idea that a
program is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do. It is often used in
languages such as C and C++.
• Object-oriented paradigm: This paradigm is based on the idea of objects, which are self-
contained units that contain both data and behavior. It is often used in languages such as
Java, C#, and Python.
• Functional paradigm: This paradigm is based on the idea that a program is a set of
mathematical functions that transform inputs into outputs. It is often used in languages
such as Haskell, Lisp, and ML.
• Logic paradigm: This paradigm is based on the idea that a program is a set of logical
statements that can be used to infer new information. It is often used in languages such as
Prolog and Mercury.

phase start with gathering requirement from the user. Engineer communicates with the
client and end users to know their Idea and which features they want the software to
include.
• Stage-2:
Software design: It is a process to transform user requirements into a suitable form. It
helps programmers in software coding. There is a need for more specific and detailed
requirements in software. The output of the process can directly be used in
implementation in a programming language.
There are three design levels as follows:
1. Architectural design – It is the highest abstract version of the system. In a software
system, many components interact with each other.
2. High-level design – It focuses on how the system along with all its components
can be implemented in form of modules.
3. Detailed design – It defines the logical structure of each module and its interface to
communicate with each module.
• Stage-3:

DATA MODELLING FOR MALICIOUS WEBSITE DETECTION:

Data modeling in malicious website detection involves creating structured representations of data
to identify and predict malicious activities. This process applies formal techniques to map data
from different sources and ensure a consistent and accurate approach to detecting potential
threats. It plays a crucial role in understanding relationships between various features and
optimizing the classification of websites as benign or malicious.

Overview:

Data modeling in malicious website detection involves defining and analyzing data requirements
to support the threat analysis and detection processes. It involves collaboration between
cybersecurity experts, data scientists, and machine learning engineers to create a robust model.
Three types of data models are generated during the process of transitioning from requirements to
the implementation of the malicious detection system:

• Conceptual Data Model: This initial model defines technology-independent


specifications for features and threat indicators. It facilitates discussions with stakeholders
on potential malicious patterns and threat vectors.
• Logical Data Model: This translates the conceptual data model into structures that can be
implemented in machine learning models and databases. It identifies specific features such
as URL length, domain age, and HTTPS status.
• Physical Data Model: The logical model is further transformed into a physical model that
organizes data in databases, accounts for storage, and ensures optimal performance for
real-time detection.

Data modeling ensures that data elements, structures, and relationships are consistently defined to
facilitate efficient and accurate detection. Properly modeled data enhances the overall
effectiveness of malicious website detection systems by enabling seamless integration with
classification models and maintaining high accuracy.

Objectives of Data Modeling in Malicious Detection:

• To assist cybersecurity experts, data scientists, and developers in understanding and


using a standardized data model that captures threat indicators.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

• To manage threat data as a resource for real-time monitoring and proactive threat
identification.
• To integrate threat intelligence systems and improve collaborative security protocols.
• To design and maintain databases/data warehouses that house information on known
and potential threats.

Types of Data Modelling:

Data modeling in malicious website detection evolves as threats change, requiring constant
adaptation. Models should be dynamic and capable of adapting to new attack vectors and changes
in malicious behavior.

• Strategic Data Modeling: Defines an overall vision for integrating malicious detection
systems within an organization’s security infrastructure.
• Data Modeling during Systems Analysis: Creates logical data models that are part of the
development of machine learning models and security systems.

DATA MODELS:

Data models for malicious detection provide a framework for managing threat-related data in an
organized, consistent manner. Consistent models ensure the compatibility of data and enable
seamless integration of different threat detection systems. Poorly designed models can lead to
errors in classification and increased maintenance costs.

Common Problems in Malicious Detection Data Models:

• Rigid business rules: Models that hard-code business rules may lead to difficulties in
adapting to emerging threats. Business rules should be implemented flexibly to handle
evolving attack patterns.
• Incorrect entity identification: Misidentification of key indicators may lead to data
duplication and errors in threat classification. Entity definitions should be explicit and
aligned with threat models.
• Arbitrary differences in models: Inconsistencies between models can result in complex
interfaces between systems, increasing costs. Interfaces should be considered while
designing data models.
• Lack of standardized data: The absence of standard definitions and structures prevents
seamless data sharing across threat intelligence platforms. Consistency in modeling
standards is crucial for collaboration and information exchange.

Types of Data Schemas in Malicious Detection:

• Conceptual Schema: Defines the domain of malicious website detection, including


entities like URLs, domain age, SSL certificates, and phishing patterns.
• Logical Schema: Structures the information into identifiable features for machine
learning models, such as IP reputation, DNS records, and WHOIS data.
• Physical Schema: Defines the actual storage of data in databases, ensuring efficient
access and processing for real-time threat detection.

ER MODEL FOR MALICIOUS DETECTION:

Entity-relationship (ER) models for malicious detection represent structured data to identify
relationships between threat indicators and classification results. An ER model helps in
visualizing relationships between features such as:

• Entity Types: URLs, IP addresses, DNS records, certificates, and user interactions.
• Relationships: Associations between entities that capture threat indicators and
classification results.

Techniques for Designing Data Models in Malicious Detection:

Several techniques can be used to create effective data models for malicious website detection,
including:

• Bachman Diagrams
• Chen’s Notation
• IDEF1X
• Relational Models
• Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)
• Data Vault Modeling
• Extended Backus–Naur Form (EBNF)
• Fully Communication-Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM)

DESIGN PATTERNS

A design pattern provides a general reusable solution for common problems that occur in
software design. The pattern typically shows relationships and interactions between classes or
objects.
• The idea is to speed up the development process by providing well-tested, proven
development/design paradigms.
• Design patterns are programming language-independent strategies for solving common
problems.
• That means a design pattern represents an idea, not a particular implementation. By using
design patterns, you can make your code more flexible, reusable, and maintainable.
• It’s not mandatory to always implement design patterns in your project. Design patterns are not
meant for project development. Design patterns are meant for common problem-solving.
Whenever there is a need, you have to implement a suitable pattern to avoid such problems in the
future.
• To find out which pattern to use, you just have to try to understand the design patterns and their
purposes. Only by doing that, you will be able to pick the right one.

TYPES OF DESIGN PATTERNS

Several types of design patterns are commonly used in software development. These patterns can
be categorized into three main groups:

Creational Design Patterns

Creational design patterns abstract the instantiation process. They help make a system
independent of how its objects are created, composed, and represented. A class creational pattern
uses inheritance to vary the class that’s instantiated, whereas an object creational pattern will
delegate instantiation to another object. Creational patterns give a lot of flexibility in what gets
created, who creates it, how it gets created, and when.

There are two recurring themes in these patterns:


• They all encapsulate knowledge about which concrete class the system uses.
• They hide how instances of these classes are created and put together.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology

TYPES OF CREATIONAL DESIGN PATTERNS

• Factory Method Design Pattern: Used to create different classifiers dynamically (e.g., URL
classifier, IP address classifier, content classifier).
• Abstract Factory Method Design Pattern: Creates related objects like feature extractors,
prediction engines, and logging mechanisms without specifying their concrete classes.
• Singleton Method Design Pattern: Ensures that the feature extraction engine is a single
instance across the entire system.
• Prototype Method Design Pattern: Enables cloning of existing classifier configurations to
modify them without affecting the original.
• Builder Method Design Pattern: Helps construct complex analysis pipelines step by step
(e.g., feature extraction, classification, and result logging).

Structural Design Patterns

Structural Design Patterns are concerned with how classes and objects are composed to form
larger structures. Structural class patterns use inheritance to compose interfaces or
implementations. The result is a class that combines the properties of its parent classes.

There are two recurring themes in these patterns:


• This pattern is particularly useful for making independently developed class libraries work
together.
• Structural Design Patterns describe ways to compose objects to realize new functionality.
• The added flexibility of object composition comes from the ability to change the composition
at runtime, which is impossible with static class composition.

TYPES OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN PATTERNS

• Adapter Method Design Pattern: Allows different ML and DL models to be plugged into the
system easily.
• Bridge Method Design Pattern: Separates feature extraction from classification, allowing
independent modifications.
• Composite Method Design Pattern: Groups multiple feature sets together into one entity
(e.g., domain features, content features, and network features).
• Decorator Method Design Pattern: Adds extra functionality to classifiers dynamically, such
as logging or alert mechanisms.
• Facade Method Design Pattern: Provides a simplified interface for performing complex
malicious website detection tasks.
• Flyweight Method Design Pattern: Reduces memory usage by reusing feature extraction
models and templates.
• Proxy Method Design Pattern: Controls access to advanced classification algorithms for
different user roles.

Behavioral Design Patterns

Behavioral Patterns are concerned with algorithms and the assignment of responsibilities
between objects. Behavioral patterns describe not just patterns of objects or classes but also the
patterns of communication between them. These patterns characterize complex control flow
that’s difficult to follow at runtime.

There are three recurring themes in these patterns:


• Behavioral class patterns use inheritance to distribute behavior between classes.
• Behavioral object patterns use object composition rather than inheritance.
• Behavioral object patterns are concerned with encapsulating behavior in an object and
delegating requests to it.

TYPES OF BEHAVIORAL DESIGN PATTERNS

• Chain Of Responsibility Method Design Pattern: Passes the request through multiple
validation and classification stages.
• Command Method Design Pattern: Allows the system to apply, undo, or redo feature
classification steps efficiently.
• Interpreter Method Design Pattern: Parses rule-based inputs for dynamic classifier
configuration.
• Mediator Method Design Pattern: Coordinates communication between classification
modules and reporting systems.
• Memento Method Design Pattern: Stores snapshots of classification results for future audit
purposes.
• Observer Method Design Pattern: Notifies administrators about suspicious patterns and
anomalies in real time.
• State Method Design Pattern: Modifies classification behavior based on incoming website
traffic patterns.
• Strategy Method Design Pattern: Provides different machine learning or deep learning
models for classification.
• Template Method Design Pattern: Defines a common workflow for classification pipelines
while allowing custom feature integration.
• Visitor Method Design Pattern: Analyzes different types of incoming URLs and provides
tailored classification reports.

TEST PLANNING

Test planning is one of the critical steps in ensuring the success of malicious website detection
software. The goal of test planning is to address key aspects of testing strategy, resource
utilization, responsibilities, risks, and priorities. Test planning is an integral part of overall project
planning.

The test planning activity marks the transition from one phase of software development to
another. It estimates the number of test cases and their duration, defines the test completion
criteria, identifies areas of risks, and allocates resources. Identification of the best methodologies,
techniques, and tools is part of test planning, which depends on:
• The nature and complexity of malicious website detection
• The test budget and risk assessment
• The skill level of available staff
• The time available for different testing phases

The output of the test planning process is the Test Plan Document. Test plans are developed for
each level of testing. Each test plan corresponds to the phase of software developed in that stage.

• During the requirements phase, the deliverable is the Software Requirements Specification
(SRS), which leads to developing system and validation test plans.
• The design phase produces the System Design Document, which guides the creation of
component and integration test plans.

TEST PLAN GENERATORS:

TEST CASE

Test case design involves selecting appropriate techniques, preparing test data, developing test
procedures, setting up the test environment, and integrating necessary supporting tools.

In the context of malicious website detection, designing effective test cases ensures that the
system performs as expected under different conditions, including various website inputs, URLs,
and file types. The main test objectives include:
• Validating URL classification and prediction accuracy
• Checking feature extraction from URLs and web pages
• Evaluating the performance of machine learning and deep learning models
• Verifying the handling of false positives and false negatives
• Testing response time and system robustness

To create test objectives:

1. Gather reference materials such as the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and
design documentation for the malicious detection system.
2. Collaborate with domain experts (e.g., security analysts, test engineers, and data scientists)
in brainstorming sessions to compile a list of test objectives.

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology

Example:

For system testing, possible test objectives may include:


• Verifying URL input validation
• Ensuring feature extraction accuracy
• Confirming correct classification by machine learning models
• Validating integration with external security APIs
• Assessing system response to malicious and non-malicious websites

TEST OBJECTIVE TRANSFORMATION

After defining test objectives:


• Transform the objectives into a list of items to be tested under each objective. For example,
while testing feature extraction, the list may include:

• Extracting URL length, domain age, and IP address


• Detecting phishing patterns and abnormal behavior
• Handling missing or malformed data

• Create a mapping matrix between the list of items and any existing test cases to facilitate
reusability. This mapping helps in identifying gaps and avoiding redundant test cases.

Each item in the list should be evaluated for adequacy of coverage, ensuring that no critical
aspect of the malicious detection system is left untested.

TEST COVERAGE

During test planning, decisions related to test coverage need to be made. Test coverage provides
insights into how much of the system's requirements, design, and code are effectively tested.

For malicious website detection, different forms of test coverage include:


• Requirements Coverage: Verifying that all functional and non-functional requirements are
tested

SMVEC - Department of Information Technology


Page No

• Design Coverage: Ensuring that all modules, APIs, and interfaces are tested
• Code Coverage: Evaluating if all lines of code, branches, and conditions are executed
• Interface Coverage: Validating integration with external APIs and databases

SOFTWARE METRICS AND TEST COVERAGE

Software metrics play an important role in measuring attributes that are critical to the success of
the malicious website detection system. Measurement of these attributes helps clarify
relationships between them, thereby facilitating informed decision-making.

In the context of malicious website detection, relevant software testing metrics include:
• Defect Density: The number of defects per module or component
• Test Effectiveness: The percentage of defects detected by test cases
• Code Coverage Percentage: The extent of code executed during testing
• False Positive/False Negative Rates: Accuracy of classification results
