Figure 1.1: Software Development Methodologies

Following are the sequential steps in Waterfall model −

• Requirement analysis − Once all the requirements are collected, they are
analyzed and validated to ensure that they are accurate, complete, and feasible.
Any inconsistencies or gaps are identified and resolved at this stage..
• System Design − After analyzing the requirements, a design is created based
on those requirements. The design includes the architecture of the software
product, the system specifications, and the user interface design.
• Implementation − The implementation phase involves writing the code for
the software product based on the design. This step contains coding, testing,
and debugging the software.
• Testing − Once the software product is implemented, it is tested to ensure that
it meets the requirements and is free from defects. This includes testing the
software product's functionality, usability, performance, and security.

2
 • Deployment of system − The deployment phase is the final phase of the
waterfall model, which involves delivering the completed software product to
the end-users and making it available for use.
• Maintenance − The maintenance phase involves maintaining and updating
the software product after it has been released. This includes fixing any bugs
or errors that are discovered, as well as adding new features or functionality

4.4 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

System analysis is the process of studying and understanding a system to
identify its components, functions, and processes, and to evaluate its
performance, efficiency, and effectiveness. It involves a systematic and
structured approach to identify problems, define requirements, and
recommend solutions for improvement.

In the context of an online examination system, system analysis involves

studying the system's architecture, software, hardware, and databases to
understand how it works. It also involves identifying the system's
requirements, such as security, scalability, performance, and usability.

During system analysis, various techniques such as brainstorming, interviews,

surveys, and focus groups can be used to gather information from
stakeholders, including end-users, administrators, and developers. This
information is then analyzed and used to identify areas of improvement and to
recommend solutions that will improve the system's performance, efficiency,
and effectiveness.

4.5 SYSTEM DESIGN

System design is the process of defining the architecture of the system. It
involves components, modules, interfaces, and data of system for identified
during the system analysis phase.

• Database scheme
• Sequence Diagram
• Flow Chart

20
4.6 IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation refers to the process of building the system based on the detailed
design specification developed in the system design phase. During the
implementation phase, developers write the code and create the database schema
and the user interface based on the design specification.

4.7 TEST GENERATION

Test generation refers to the process of developing test cases to verify that the
system functions correctly. During this phase, testers create test cases based on
the design specification and identify expected outputs for each input. The test
cases should cover different scenarios and edge cases to ensure the system's
correctness and robustness.
