5.1 Deployment plan

Rapid application development is a software development methodology, which involves
iterative development and the construction of prototypes. It is a merger of various
structured techniques, especially the data driven Information Engineering with
prototyping techniques to accelerate software systems development. We use RAD Model
when Requirements are clear.

Fig 5.1 Rapid Application Development Model (RAD)

Advantages of the RAD methodology

There are following advantages of RAD

Flexible and adaptable to changes.

RAD generally incorporates short development cycles - users see the

RAD product quickly.

RAD involves user participation thereby increasing chances of early

user community acceptance.
74

Chapter No.5
Deployment

RAD realizes an overall reduction in project risk.

Pareto's 80 - 20 Rule usually results in reducing the costs to create a

custom system.

A system
A collection of components that work together to realize some objective forms a system.
Basically there are three major components in every system, namely input, processing and
output.

Fig 5.2 system

In a system the different
components

are

connected with each other and they are interdependent. For example, Human body
represents a complete natural system. We are also bound by many national systems such
as political system, economic system, educational system and so forth. The objective of
the system demands that some output is produced as a result of processing the suitable
inputs.
System life cycle
System life cycle is an organizational process of developing and maintaining systems. It
helps in establishing a system project plan, because it gives overall list of processes and
sub-processes required developing a system. System development life cycle means
combination of various activities. In other words we can say that various activities put
together are referred as system development life cycle. In the System Analysis and Design
terminology, the system development life cycle means software development life cycle.

Following are the different phases of software development cycle:

System study
Feasibility study
System analysis
System design
Coding
Testing
Implementation

Model of Testing
Following are key points of Model testing:
Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding

an error.
A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as yet

undiscovered error.
A successful test s one that uncovered error.

Principal #1:- All tests should be traceable to student requirements.

Principal #2:- Tested should be planned long before testing begins.
Principal #3:- The pare to principal applied to website testing.
Principal #4:- Testing should begin in the small and progress toward
testing in large.

There are different Modules of testing. On the basis of testing methods there are two types
of testing:
1.
2.

White-box testing.
Black-box testing.

1). WHITE-BOX TESTING

White-box testing sometimes called Glass-Box Testing, is a test case design methods that
users the control structure of the procedural design to drive the test case.
77

Chapter No.5
Deployment

Logical errors and incorrect assumption are inversely proportional to

the probability that a program will be executed. Errors tend to creep into
our work we design and implement function; condition that is out of the

mainstream tends to be well understood.

We often believe that a logical path is not likely to be executed when in
fact it may be executed on a regular basis. The logical flow of a
program times counter intuitive.

2).BLACK-BOX TESTING:
For our system periodically we have tested our website using black-box testing. Thinking
as a client we have evaluated the website for its easy going and convenience.
Unit testing:
During the programming stages each and every form, modules and class treated unit
has been put into the test data. Every module is tested independently. The steps are
follows.
1.
2.

Manually code is tested like spelling checks, logics and errors.

Once the manual checking is over the complication has been done.
Syntactical errors if any have to be corrected.

3.

After the clean completion the program, some dummy data, as

specification, has been used for testing of the module to see if it works as specified.

Integration testing:
After the individuals modules were tested out we go the integrated to create a
complete system. This integration process involves building the system and
testing the resultant system for problems that arise from component interaction.
Performance testing
Performance testing is designed to test the runtime performance of the system
within the system context of the system. These tests were performed as module
level as well as system level. Individual modules were tested for required
performance.
Condition testing:
Performance testing is the test case design method that exercises the logical
conditions.
Interface testing:
78

Chapter No.5
Deployment
Interface sting is integral part of integration. We examined the code to be tested
and explicitly list each call to an external component. Performance testing is the
test case design method that exercises the logical conditions. int the system
standards tests for GUIs have been performed, which are as follows:
The position and related for all controls were checked.
Validations for all inputs were done.
Pull down controls was verified for proper functionality.
Whether the non-editable text controls disabling and it was also verified
that it doesnt exceed the maximum allowed length
Testing Strategy
Unit Testing:
Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design the
software component or module. Using the component level design description as a guide,
important control paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. The
unit test focuses on the internal processing logic and data structures within the boundaries
of the component.

Integration testing:
Integration testing is a systematic technique for constructing the website architecture while
at the same conducting test to uncover errors associated with interfacing. During the
programming stages each and every form, modules and class treated unit has been put into
the test data. The objective is to take unit tested components and a program structure that
has been dictated by design.
Test Cases
A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester
will determine whether an application or software system is working correctly or not. The
mechanism for determining whether a software program or system has passed or failed
such a test is known as a test oracle. In some settings, an oracle could be a requirement or

79

Chapter No.5
Deployment
use case, while in others it could a heuristic. It may take many test cases to determine that
a software program or system is considered sufficiently scrutinized to be released. Test
cases are often referred to as test scripts, particularly when written. Written test cases are
usually collected into test studies.
After deployment there is a important phase to test some of the important use cases these
are known as test cases these all are given from next page.
