STAS, Pathanamthitta Page | 1

1.1ABOUT THE PROJECT
The E-Certificate is a new concept to issue certificate to qualified candidates’ electronic

certificate is secure document as it is embedded with latest available technologies and
management tools. For each institution, it contains unique E-Certificate number, design,
online verification system. Fast delivery is one of specialty of the E-Certificate.
There are two ways to deliver the E-Certificate to a qualified candidate
 Through email.
 Through log-in area on institution’s website or portal.
Certificates or e-certificates could be important document for candidates/ participants for

future use. Therefore, each certificate should have special security feature and have system/
process by which other person/ institution can check genuineness and authenticity of
certificate.
E-certificate is secured document as it is embedded with latest available technologies and

management tools, for each institution, it contains unique e-certificate number, photo of
concerned qualified candidate, online verification system
Verification of e-certificate is very simple process and safe.
There is two ways to get verified the e-certificate the employer can get replay containing
information about genuine / non genuine through website by online replay system which may
be mentored by dealing authority concerned institution.
It provide Multi-stage security for the verification of authenticity and validity. your secure
web portal is accessible using QR code, URL or unique identification number and our secure
electronic signature system prevent fraud and document tampering
The programming has been accomplished in PHP. The administrator and the user can login
using the username and password which they can select according to their choice. Only
restriction is that multiple persons will not be permitted to accept the same username. The
project has been developed in PHP as front end and MY SQL as back end which develop to
help powerful software.

This website is developed in such a way that it makes use of the current hardware as far as
possible in care of up gradation that it should be done. This software is easy to use and has a
good graphical user interface.

2. SYSTEM STUDY

2.1 INTRODUCTION
System Study is a general term that refers to an orderly, structured

process for identifying and solving problems. We call system Study process lifecycle
methodology, since it relates to four significant phases in the lifecycle of all business
information system. The system is studied to the minute details and analyzed. Analysis
implies the process of breaking something into parts so that the whole may be understood.
The definition of the system analysis includes not only the process of analysis but also that of
synthesis, which implies the process of putting together to form a new whole.
All activities associated with each life cycle phase must be performed, managed and
documented. Hence, we define system analysis as the performance, management,
documentation of the activities related to the life cycle phases of a computer-based business
system. In the study phase a detailed study of the project is made and clear picture of the
project is in mind. In the design phase the designing of the input, output and table designs are
made. Development phase is where the physical designing of the input-output screens and
coding of the system is done. System implementation actually implements the system by
making necessary testing.
2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM
In this system, e-certificate printing system is done manually and

the data is stored into the system. Manual E-certificate creation is a time consuming and
complex process.
 Lack of security of data.

 More man power.
 Time consuming.
 No direct role for the higher officials

2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system allows the user to manage data efficiently

and it help to make E-Certificate easily. E-Certificate provide more secure than paper
certificates, eliminating the risk of misplaced documentation or late-delivery. This System
Reduce administration time and cost by providing quick certificate delivery.
 Security of data.
 Ensure data accuracy’s
 Proper control of the higher officials.
 Minimum time needed for the various processing.
 Minimize manual data entry.
 Greater efficiency.
 Minimum requirement.
 User friendliness and interactive.

3. PROBLEM ANALYSIS

3.1 SYSTEM DEFENITION

The project ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTINGis developed
using PHP. The new user can register and only the registered user can go further. The
administrator can control all the operations in the website. He can also modify and upload
data to the website. The registered user can see all information about the products, searching
and viewing product details. The website is designed in such a way that the future plans of
expansion can be implementing easily without affecting the existing features. The website
and its operations should be safe and unauthorized access should not be allowed. The user is
able to view the product details only if he is logged in and active user.
3.2 FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
A feasibility study is a test of system proposal according to its

workability, impact on the organization, ability to meet user needs, and effective use of
resources. The objective of feasibility study is acquiring a sense of the scope of the system.
The feasibility of a project can be ascertained in terms of technical

factors, economic factors, or both. A feasibility study is documented with a report showing
all the ramifications of the project. It is very important to evaluate the feasibility study and
risk analysis is related in many ways. If the project study is great, the feasibility of producing
quality software is reduced.
The key factors considered during the feasibility study are:
1. Economic Feasibility
2. Behavioral Feasibility
3. Technical Feasibility
4. Operational Feasibility
5. Legal Feasibility

3.2.1 ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
Economic analysis is the most commonly used method for evaluating

effectiveness of a system. Cost-benefit analysis is the most important assessment of economic
justification of the project. Cost –benefit analysis delineates the cost for project development
and weighs them against tangible and intangible benefits of a system. This type of analysis
varies with the characteristics of the system to be developed, the relative site of the project,
and the expected return on investment. Benefits of a new system are always determined
relative to the existing mode of operation.
Economic feasibility deals about the economic impact faced by the

organization to implement the new system. Not only cost of hardware, software etc. is
considered but also the form of reduced costs. The project, installed certainly be beneficial
since there will be a reduction in manual wok, increase in speed of work. The analysis raises
financial and economic questions during the preliminary investigation to estimate the
following:
 The cost to conduct a full systems investigation.

 The cost of hardware and software for the class of application of the project being
considered.
To be judged feasible, a proposal for the specific project must pass all these tests, otherwise it
is not considered as a feasible project. I gathered the details regarding the financial aspects
incorporated in the system to make it cost efficient.
3.2.2 BEHAVIORAL FEASIBILITY
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned into

information systems that will meet the operating requirements of the organization. This test
of feasibility asks if the system will work when it is developed satisfies all the operational
conditions. It was the most difficult task for me, but met efficiently.

As this package is found to be feasible technically, economically and

functionally, the system is judged feasible. Viewing the collected information,
recommendation and justification, conclusions is made of the proposed system. Hence
decision is taken to go on with the project.
3.2.3 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
There are a number of technical issues, which are generally raised during
the feasibility stage of the investigation. A study of function, performance and constraints
gave me the ability to achieve acceptable system. The software required for this system is:
 PHP
 MySQL
3.2.4 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
Suppose for a moment that technical and economic resources are both
judged adequate. The systems analyst must still consider the operational feasibility of the
requested project. Operational feasibility is dependent on human resources available for the
project and involves projecting whether the system will operate and be used once it is
installed. If users are virtually wed to the present system, see no problems with it, and
generally are not involved in requesting a new system, resistance to implementing the new
system will be strong. Chances for it ever becoming operational are low.
3.2.5 LEGAL FEASIBILITY
A determination of any infringement, violation, or liability that could

result from development of the system. Legal feasibility encompasses a broad range of
concerns that include contracts, liability, infringement, and myriad other traps frequently
unknown to technical staff.

3.3 PROJECT PLAN
Planning is very important in every aspect of development work. Good

managers carefully monitor developments at various phases. Improper planning leads to
failure of the project. Software project pan can be viewed as the following:
1. Within the organization: How the project is to be implemented? What are various
constraints? What is market strategy?
2. With respect to the customer: Weekly or timely meetings with the customer with
presentations on status reports. Customer feedback is also taken and further modifications
and developments are done. Project milestones and deliverables are also presented to the
customer. For a successful project the following steps can be followed:
Selection of project: Includes identifying project’s aims and objectives, understanding

requirements and specification, methods of analysis, design and implementation, testing
techniques and documentation.
 Project milestones and deliverables.

 Project estimates: including cost, time, size of code and duration.
 Resource allocation: including hardware, software, previous relevant project
information and digital library.
 Risk management: including risk avoidance, risk detection, risk control and risk
recovery.
 Scheduling techniques: including work breakdown structure, activity graph, critical
path method, Gantt chart and Program Evaluation Review Technique.
 People: including staff recruitment, team management and customer interaction.
 Quality control and standard.

4. REQUIREMENT ENGINEERING

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Requirement analysis involves studying the current system to find out how
it works and where improvements could be made. A clear idea about the existing system is a
must for making improvements where it is required. Proper planning and collection of data
serves the purpose. The popularity of this document is to describe all the requirements for the
popularity of the website for ‘ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING’. This website gives
all the information for a person. In our busy life, we cannot go to each department or offices.
This problem will manage this site. It will help to avoid in correction and missing data.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Introduction to PHP
PHP, stands for "Hypertext Preprocessor" is an extremely popular scripting
language that is used to create dynamic Web pages. Combining syntax from the C, Java

and Perl languages, PHP code is embedded within HTML pages for server-side
execution. PHP is used to develop Static websites or Dynamic websites or Web
applications. A scripting language is a language that interprets scripts at runtime. Scripts
are usually embedded into other software environments.
PHP is a powerful PHP framework designed for PHP coders who are looking for a simple
and elegant toolkit to form full-featured web applications. CodeIgniter can develop projects
much faster by providing a set of libraries for commonly desired tasks, and a simple interface
and logical structure to access these libraries. It has simple installation process with minimum
configuration, and avoids PHP version conflict. It can work well with most of the shared and
dedicated hosting platforms.
 PHP files can contain text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP code
 PHP code are executed on the server, and the result is returned to the browser as plain
HTML
 PHP files have extension ".php"
 PHP can generate dynamic page content
 PHP can create, open, read, write, delete, and close files on the server
 PHP can collect form data
 PHP can send and receive cookies
 PHP can add, delete, modify data in your database
 PHP can restrict users to access some pages on your website
 PHP can encrypt data
 PHP runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.)
 PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
 PHP supports a wide range of databases
 PHP is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server side

JavaScript
JavaScript is an object based, cross-platform, loosely typed multiuse programming
language that is used to add interactivity to the web pages. A JavaScript is a program that is
included on an HTML page. Because it is enclosed in the <SCRIPT> tag, the text of the
script doesn't appear on the user's screen, and the Web browser knows to run the JavaScript
program. The <SCRIPT> tag is most often found within the <HEAD> section of the
HTML page. Scripts that write text to the screen or that write HTML is best put in the body
section. JavaScript allows you create an active interface, giving the users feedback as they
navigate your pages. JavaScript can be used to make sure that your users enter valid
information in forms, which can save time and money. If the forms require calculations,
you can do them in JavaScript on the user's machine without needing to use a complex
server CGI.
With JavaScript, you have the ability to create custom HTML pages depending on
actions that the user takes. JavaScript controls the browser, because JavaScript has a set of
date and time features. Java script deals with commands called event handles. An action by
the user on the page triggers an event handler in your script. JavaScript is case sensitive.
Scripts can be put in either of two places on an HTML pages: between the <HEAD> and
</HEAD> tag or between the <BODY> and </BODY> tag. One of the main uses of
JavaScript is to provide feedback to people browsing your site. An alert window can be
created that pops up and gives the user the vitally important information that they need to

know about the page. Different languages versions can be have had on different scripts on
one page.
MySQL
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). A relational
database organizes data into one or more data tables in which data types may be related to
each other; these relations help structure the data. SQL is a language programmer use to
create, modify and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to
the database. In addition to relational databases and SQL, an RDBMS like MySQL works
with an operating system to implement a relational database in a computer's storage system,
manages users, allows for network access and facilitates testing database integrity and
creation of backups.
MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public
License, and is also available under a variety of proprietary licenses. MySQL has stand-alone
clients that allow users to interact directly with a MySQL database using SQL, but more often
MySQL is used with other programs to implement applications that need relational database
capability.
MySQL is used by many database-driven web applications, including Drupal, Joomla,

phpBB, and WordPress. MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including Facebook,
Flickr, MediaWiki, Twitter, and YouTube.
 MySQL is a database system used on the web.

 MySQL is a database system that runs on a server.
 MySQL is ideal for both small and large applications.
 MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use.
 MySQL supports standard SQL.
 MySQL compiles on a number of platforms.
 MySQL is free to download and use.
 MySQL is developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation.
 PHP combined with MySQL are cross-platform (you can develop in Windows and serve
on a Unix platform).

5. MODELING

5.1 INTRODUCTION
We create models to obtain a better understanding of the actual entity to be
built. The model focuses on what the system must do and not on how it does it. The second
and third operational analysis principles require that we build modules of function and
behavior. The written word is a wonderful vehicle for communication, but it isn't
necessarily the best way to represent the requirements for computer software. Analysis
modeling uses a combination of text and diagrammatic forms to depict requirements for
data, function, and behavior in a way that is relatively easy to understand, and more
important, straightforward to review for correctness, completeness and consistency. This
section presents resources for conventional and object-oriented analysis (OOA) methods as
well as resources for UML. Analysis modeling is an extremely robust subject.
5.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Requirement Modelling approaches are
1. Scenario-Based modeling
o Use Case Diagram
2. Data modeling
o ER Diagram
3. Class based modeling
o Class diagrams
4. Behavioral modeling
o State Diagram
5.2.1 Scenario-Based modeling

Scenario based modeling represents requirements from the point of
view of various system ‘actors’. Requirement modeling begins with the creation of
scenarios in the form of use case diagrams.

o Use Case Diagram

Use cases help to determine the functionality and features of the
software from user’s perspective. A use case describes how a user interacts with the system
by defining the steps required to accomplish a specific goal. Variations in the sequence of
steps describe various scenarios. In the diagram the stick figure represents an actor that is
associated with one category of user. In the use-case diagram the use cases are displayed as
ovals.
The actors are connected by lines to the use cases that they carry out. The use
cases are placed in a rectangle but the actors are not .This rectangle is a visual remainder of
the system boundaries and that the actors are outside the system.

Fig: Use Case Diagram
5.2.3 Data Modeling
If software requirements include the need to create, extend, or

interface with a database, the software team may choose to create a data model as part of
overall requirements modeling. It defines all data objects that are processed within the
system, the relationship between the data objects, and other information that is pertinent to
the relationships. The entity –relationship diagram (ERD) addresses these issues and
represents all data objects that are entered, stored, transformed, and produced within an
application. Data modeling tools provide a software engineer with the ability to represent data
object, their characteristics, and their relationships. Used primarily for large database
applications and other information systems projects, data modeling tools provide an
automated means for creating comprehensive entity relation diagrams, data object
dictionaries, and related models.
An E-R diagram may also indicate the cardinality of a

relationship. Cardinality is the number of instances of one entity that can, or must, be
associated with each instance of another entity. In general, we may speak of one-to-one, one-
to-many, or many-to-many relationships.
Rectangle which represents entity sets.
Diamond which represents relationship sets.
Ellipse which represents attributes.

Lines which link attributes to entity sets and entity sets to

relationship sets.
6. DESIGN

6.1 INTRODUCTION
Design for Web apps encompasses technical and non-technical activities
that include: establishing the look and feel of the Web app, creating the aesthetic layout of the
user interface, defining the overall architectural structure, developing the content and
functionality that reside within the architecture, and planning the navigation that occurs
within the Web app.
Design allows you to create a model that can be assessed for quality and
improved before content and code are generated, tests are conducted, and end users become
involved in large numbers. Design is the place where Web app quality is established.
In general, the following design objectives must be kept in mind;
 Practicality of the System

 Efficiency of the System
 Minimized cost of the System
 Flexibility of the System
 Security of the System
The system design involves first logical design and then physical
construction of the system. The logical design describes structure and characteristics of
features, like the outputs, inputs, databases and procedures. The physical construction which
follows the logical design produces actual program software files and the working system.
System design sits at the technical kernel of the software engineering and is applied
regardless of the software process model that is used. Beginning once software requirements
have been analyzed and specified, software design is the first technical activity that is used to
build and verify the software. Each activity (designing, coding and testing) transforms
information in a manner that ultimately results in validated computer software.

6.2 USER INTERFACE DESIGN

The interface describes how the software communicates with itself. The
user interface is the link between the users and the employers. A well-designed user interface
makes it very easy for users to learn software. The user interface portion of software is
responsible for all interaction with the user. Development of good user interface usually takes a
significant portion of the total system development effort. GUI can be defined as a program
interface that takes advantages of the computer’s graphic capabilities to make the program
easier to use.
The “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” is a web based one. Web
application use client/server architecture. The web application resides on a server and responds to
request from multiple clients over the Internet on the client side, a browser, such as Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, hosts the Web application. The application’s user interface takes
the form of HTML pages that are interpreted and displayed by the client’s browser. On the server
side, the Web application runs under Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). IIS manages
the application, passes requests from clients to the application, and returns the application’s
response to the client.
6.3 CONTENT DESIGN

Content design focuses on two different design tasks, each addressed by
individuals with different skill test sets. First, a design representation for content objects and
the mechanisms required to establish their relationship to one another is developed. In
addition, the information within a specific content object is created. The latter task may be

conducted by copywriters, graphic designers, and others who generate the content to be used
within a Web app.
In the “ ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” admin has the total
control to the website. Admin will manage all registration and report generation. Admin can
control every student who has attend the examination. Students can select different subject.
Each subject has multiple examinations.
6.4 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

It is tied to the goals established for a web App, the content to be
presented, the user who will visit and the navigation philosophy that has been established. As
an architectural designer, you must identify content architecture and WebApp Architecture.
Content architecture focuses on the manner in which content objects are structured for
presentation and navigation. WebApp Architecture addresses the manner in which the
application is structured to manage user interaction, handle internal processing tasks, effect
navigation and present content. Architectural design - creates a blueprint for the design with
the necessary specifications for the hardware, software, people and data resources. In this
project n-Tier architecture is used for development. It can use objects for handling business
rules and data access. It has multiple servers handling business services.
6.5 NAVIGATION DESIGN

Once the WebApp Architecture has been established and the component of
the architecture has been identified, you must define navigation path way that enable users to
access WebApp content and functions. To accomplish this, you should
(1) Identify the semantics of navigation for different users of the site.
(2) Define the mechanics of achieving the navigation.
The main pages used in the system are,

7.6 COMPONENT LEVEL DESIGN

Modern Webapp deliver increasingly sophisticated processing functions
that,
(1) Perform localized processing to generate content and navigation capability in a dynamic
fashion,
(2) Provide computation or data processing capability that is appropriate for the Webapp’s
business domain,
(3) Provide sophisticated database query and access,
(4) Establish data interface with external cooperate system.
6.7 DATABASE DESIGN

The most important aspect of building an application is the
design of database. The data they store must be organized according to the user requirement.
A well-designed database is essential for the good performance of the system. A database
table known as a relation provides information related to specific entity.
The basic functions involved in a database system related to the information required by the
user are:
 Defining the data
 Input the data
 Locating the data
 Communicating the data

6.8. DIAGRAMS
6.8.1 Data flow Diagram (DFD)
The data flow diagram (DFD) is one of the most important tools used
by system analysts. Data flow diagrams are made up of a number of symbols, which
represent system components. Most data flow modeling methods use four kinds of symbols.
These symbols are used to represent four kinds of system components. Possesses, data stores,
data flows and external entities are the components. Circles in DFD represent a process. Data
flow is represented by a thin line in DFD and square or rectangle represents external entities.
Unlike detailed flow chart, data flow diagrams do not

supply detailed description of the modules but graphically describes a system’s data and how
the data interact with the system.
Symbols used in DFD are:
Square, this defines source or destination of data
Arrow, which shows data flow
Circle, which represents a process that transforms

incoming data into outgoing flow

7. CODING

7.1 INTRODUCTION
The coding step is a process that transforms design into a programming
language. It translates a detail design representation of software into a programming language
realization. The translation process continues when a compiler accepts source code as input
and produces machine-dependent object code as output. Quality is an important goal during
coding. The quality of source code can be improved by the use of structured coding
techniques; good coding style and readable, consistent code format. During coding, some
coding standards are to be followed. This has two purposes; reducing the chance of making it
easier for some time to modify the code later on. Coding phase affects both testing and
maintenance profoundly. The “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” uses PHP as the
programming language for coding.

8. TESTING

8.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of system testing is to identify and correct errors in the candidate
system. Testing is an important element of the software quality assurance and represents the
ultimate review of specification, design and coding. The increasing visibility of the software
as a system element and the costs associated with a software failure are motivated forces for
well planned, through testing.
Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and

represents the ultimate quality review of specifications, design and code generation. Once the
source code has been generated, the program should be executed before the customer gets it
with the specific intend of fining and removing all errors, test must be designed using
disciplined techniques. Testing techniques provides the systematic guidance for designing
tests. To uncover the errors in the program behavior function and performance the following
steps to be done:
 Execute the integral logic of the software components.
 Execute the input and output domains of the program to uncover errors
During testing the system is used experimentally to ensure that the software
does not fail, i.e., it will run according to the specification and in the way the user expects.
Preparation of test data plays n vital role in the system testing. Different set of test data are
generated and the system under study is tested using that data. While testing using test data
errors are again uncovered and corrected using different testing techniques.

System testing was conducted in order to detect errors and for comparing then
the final system with the requirement specification report. That is, whether the system meets
requirements. During testing the software was executed with a set of test cases and the output
of the program for the test cases was evaluated to determine if the program is performing as it
was expected to.
Testing presents, an interesting challenge for the software engineer attends to

hold software from an abstract concept to an acceptable implementation. In testing engineer
creates a series of test cases that o c c u r s w h e n e r r o r s a r e uncovered. Testing is the
process of executing a program for finding errors. A good test is one that has high probability
of finding an uncovered error
The turn error is used to refer the difference between the actual output of the
software and the correct output. Fault is a condition that causes the software to fail to perform
its required function. Software reliability is defined as the required function.
Software reliability is defined as the probability that the software will not
undergo failure for a specified time under specified condition. Failure is the inability of a
system or a component to perform a required function according to its specification.
Different levels of testing were employed for software to make an error free, fault free and
reliable. Basically, in software testing four type of testing methods are adopted.
8.2 CONTENT TESTING

Content testing checks that users can easily understand all items that appear on
a site and, importantly, that they are able to correctly interpret the information they read.
Accordingly, it identifies any problem areas that may require simplification or rewriting. The
overall purpose of testing a content concept is to figure out what content strategy you should
follow throughout the project. This system was tested for successful acceptance and was
found to be working properly.
Content should be logical and easy to understand. Check for spelling errors.
Use of dark colors annoys users and should not be used in site theme. “ONLINE
CERTIFICATE PRINTING” follows some standards that are used for web page and

content building. These are common accepted standards like mentioned above about
annoying colors, fonts, frames, etc. Content should be meaningful. All the anchor text links
should be working properly. Images should be placed properly with proper sizes. These are
some basic standards that are followed in “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING”
8.3 USER INTERFACE TESTING
This tests the whole end to end scenario (which simulates

exactly what the user would be doing). This (for the most part) goes through all the mouse
clicks and keyboard presses the user goes through to get an action done. If we extend the
previous example this would be invoking the same action except that this time instead of
using any test hooks it would be using the keyboard shortcut and instead verify the actual
displayed results on the application. User Interface testing is a process to test “ONLINE
CERTIFICATE PRINTING” user interface and to detect if application is functionally
correct. User Interface testing involves carrying set of tasks and comparing the result of same
with the expected output and ability to repeat same set of tasks multiple times with different
data input and same level of accuracy. User Interface Testing includes how the “ONLINE
CERTIFICATE PRINTING” handles keyboard and mouse events, how different GUI
components like menu bars, toolbars, dialogs, buttons, edit fields, list controls, images etc.
reacts to user input and whether or not it performs in the desired manner. Implementing User
Interface testing for your application early in the software development cycle speeds up
development, improves quality and reduces risks towards the end of the cycle. User Interface
Testing can be performed both manually with a human tester or could be performed
automatically with use of a software program.
8.4 COMPONENT LEVEL TESTING

Component level testing similar to unit testing but with a higher level of
integration. The big difference here is that the testing is done in the context of the application
instead of just directly testing the method in question. While testing at the component level

you would have the application open and the document displayed but you would be testing
the method and evaluating its result.(without taking into account the shortcut or what get
displayed on the application afterwards). In “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING”, the
system consists of several modules. All modules are tested and were found to be working
properly.
8.5 NAVIGATION TESTING

Navigation testing confirms that all internal and external links of “ONLINE
CERTIFICATE PRINTING” are working properly. There is no any broken link or orphan
page in application. Once the first layers of the Software have been examined, it is time to
perform simple tests to probe the quality of the global Software navigation. Good Software
will provide consistent, well-executed navigation and should provide alternative navigation
schemes, such as Software maps, indexes, and search engines. First, look to make sure that
placement of navigation is consistent from page to page. Subtle shifting may occur, so try
browsing the site extremely fast and notice whether the menu items bounce or jump position
slightly from page to page. Even this minor variation can break the perceived stability of a
site. Next, look to see how robust the navigation is and whether multiple forms of Software
navigation are supported. Numerous navigation execution questions should be asked during
this phase. The current location clearly indicated with labels or link path indicators. The
Software has text links at the bottoms of pages. Alternative text used for graphical navigation
buttons. The Software requires excessive scrolling.
8.6 CONFIGURATION TESTING

The process of testing a system with each of the configuration of software and
hardware that are supported. Configuration testing is another variation on traditional
performance testing. Rather than testing for performance from the perspective of load you are
testing the effects of configuration changes in the application landscape on application

performance and behavior. “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” was tested for

successful acceptance and was found to be working properly.
8.7 SECUTITY TESTING

Security testing is the process to determine that an information system protects
data and maintain functionality as intended. During security testing, the tester plays roles of
the individual who desires to penetrate the system. The tester may attempt to acquire
passwords through external clerical means; may attack the system with custom software
designed to breakdown any defenses that have been constructed; may overwhelm the system,
thereby denying service to others; may cause system errors, hoping to find the key to system
entry.
“ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” was tested for successful
acceptance i.e., she/he have to enter username or password to enter to the system. If the
username and password is not correct the message invalid username or password is
displayed. So unauthorized user cannot access the system.
8.8 PERFORMANCE TESTING

Performance testing is designed to test the run time performance of software
within the context of an integrated system. Performance testing occurs throughout all steps in
the testing process. Even at the unit level, performance of individual module may be assessed
as white box tests are conducted, it is not until all system elements are fully integrated that
true performance of a system can be ascertained. This system was tested for successful
acceptance and was found to be working properly.

8.9 TEST CASES

A test case is a document that describes an input, action or event and an
expected response, to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly. A test case
should contain particulars such as test case identifier, test case name, test conditions, input
data requirements steps, and expected results.

9. IMPLEMENTATION

9.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT

The implementation is the final stage and it is an important phase. It
involves the individual programming; system testing, user training and the operational
running of developed proposed system that constitutes the application subsystems. One major
task of preparing for implementation is education of users, which should really have been
taken place much earlier in the project when they were being involved in the investigation
and the design.
The implementation phase of the software development is concerned with

translating design specifications into source code. The user tests the developed system and
changes are made according to their needs. Our system has been successfully implemented.
Before implementation several tests have been conducted to ensure that no errors are
encounter during the operation. The implementation phase ends with an evaluation of the
system after placing it into operation for a period of time. Implementation is the third phase
of the system process. In order to achieve the objectives and the expected performance the
system has been developed in a highly interactive and user-friendly manner.
9.2 POST-IMPLEMENTATION AND SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance involves the software industry captive, typing up system
resources. It means restoring something to its original condition. Maintenance involves a
wide range of activities including correcting, coding, and design errors, updating
documentation and test data, and upgrading user support. Maintenance was done after the
success implementation. Maintenance is continued till the product is reengineered or
deployed to another platform. Maintenance is also done based on fixing the problems
reported, changing the interface with other software or hardware enhancing the software.

10. PROJECT LEGACY

10.1 CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT

The project “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” computerizes all
the manual activities in the existing site. As the technology grows, we must adopt the
advantages of the technologies to our organization.
The project titled “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” has been
done successfully and satisfies all the requirements specified. This system helps in providing
live data to the authorities and help in decision making without wastage of time.
This website provides a user-friendly approach towards the system. This
system has been well developed and when implemented, is bound to satisfy all of the
requirements. Painstaking efforts have been taken to make the system impeccable and
upgradeable. There is a hope that this website will be utilized to its maximum and will do a
good job in the long run. With blessings of God, the exertions are hoped to bear fruit.
The program for carrying out various activities have been run and
successfully tested to ensure that the website developed meets the needs satisfactorily. Any
users can process this system without any experience in any software products. The newly
developed system consumes less processing time and all the details are updated and
processed immediately. Modules are designed to be highly flexible so that any failure
requirements can be easily added to the modules without facing many problems.
10.2 REMAINING AREAS OF CONCERN

The existing system is a manual one. Though the proposed system tries to
overcome the limitations of the existing system, we cannot say that the proposed system is
fully developed. So, the proposed system is developed with an insight that further
modifications can be applied.

Evolution in technology will give the customer more sophisticated

service. The “ONLINE CERTIFICATE PRINTING” system will give a small part of its
actual working. Introducing the distributed database concept can make further extension to
this system. Module related to the functions of Product Dealers will add in future. Trial test
may conduct in future.

12. CONCLUSION

Conclusion
In earlier the registration process was completely manual which involves a lot
of human work. A huge number of volunteers are required to complete registration and
certification process.
Unable to manage huge participants crowd as the process was completely offline.
Many participants were unable to collect their hardcopy of certificate.
In the world, were we are looking forward for things to happen in no time the only way that's
possible is through technologies, as well know the technology is evolving each day and
making life easy for us. ServiceNow as a cloud-based platform which is reliable for the users
to develop applications in less time and provide most effective output. Thus, using this
platform online registration and e-certification application has turned out to be most effective
and user understandable. This application can be used by any organization for their event
registration. The participant can register form their place using the link provided. The
participant can choose any event of his/her interest to take part on the day of event. No
ambiguity regarding the certificate, as we are going to generate an e-certificate to all
participants who come and take an active part in the event.
