1.2.3 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
Front - End
HTML
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating
web pages and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript it forms
a triad of cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web.
Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and
render them into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page
semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs,
images and other objects, such as interactive forms, may be embedded into the rendered page.
It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text
such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. HTML elements are
delineated by tags, written using angle brackets. Tags such as <img /> and <input />
introduce content into the page directly. Others such as <p>...</p> surround and provide
information about document text and may include other tags as sub-elements. Browsers do
not display the HTML tags but use them to interpret the content of the page.
HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript which
affect the behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of
content. Designed to be usable by all Open Web developers, this reference page links to
numerous resources about HTML5 technologies, classified into several groups based on their
function.

CSS
CSS is the language for describing the presentation of Web pages, including colors,
layout, and fonts. It allows one to adapt the presentation to different types of devices, such as
large screens, small screens, or printers. The separation of HTML from CSS makes it easier
to maintain sites, share style sheets across pages, and tailor pages to different environments.
This is referred to as the separation of structure from presentation.
CSS is used to define styles for your web pages, including the design, layout and
variations in display for different devices and screen sizes. The style definitions are normally
saved in external .css files. With an external style sheet file, you can change the look of an
entire website by changing just one file.
A CSS rule-set consists of a selector and a declaration block: Syntax of css: h4 {color:
red; font-size: 22px}. The selector points to the HTML element you want to style. The
declaration block contains one or more declarations separated by semicolons. Each
declaration includes a CSS property name and a value, separated by a colon. A CSS
declaration always ends with a semicolon, and declaration blocks are surrounded by curly
braces.
Bootstrap Material Design (MDB)
Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end web framework for designing websites
and web applications. It contains HTML- and CSS-based design templates for typography,
forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript
extensions. Unlike many web frameworks, it concerns itself with front-end development
only.
Material Design is a design language, originated from Google, which is intensively

used in interface projects for the Android system. It is already a mature and organized tool
which corresponds to the usability and legibility. Moreover, it is developing and changing
dynamically. The result is a tool that may be a perfect match for screens, as well as the
starting point for inexperienced people in UI/UX designing.

MDB has a lot more features.
▪ Free for personal and commercial use.

▪ 500+ UI elements - an impressive collection of beautiful, flexible components
allows you to develop any kind of project.
▪ Fully responsive - It doesn't matter whether your project will be displayed on a
desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. It looks great on every type of screen.
▪ 77+ CSS animations - Neat and easy to use animations, which will increase the
interactivity of your project and delight your visitors.
▪ 9+ useful plug-ins - Data tables, Iframes, email templates, tree view and other useful
bootstrap add-ons that will help you save time & effort!
▪ Easy to use & customize - It is straightforward and pleasant. Our flexible
components allow deep customization. You will easily be able to adjust each
component to suit your needs.
▪ Cross-browser compatibility - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge - It
supports all modern browsers.
Server-side Scripting
PHP
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to server-side

web development, in which case PHP generally runs on a web server. Any PHP code in a
requested file is executed by the PHP runtime, usually to create dynamic web page content
or dynamic images used on websites or elsewhere.
PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 markup, or it can be used in
combination with various web template systems, web content management systems and
web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a
module in the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web
server software combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may
be any type of data, including images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be
executed with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone
graphical applications. PHP has been widely ported and can be deployed on most web
servers on almost every operating system and platform, free of charge.

▪ 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, and modify data in your database

SYSTEM STUDY

2. SYSTEM STUDY
2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM
In the realm of freelance work, platforms such as Fiverr and Upwork have long been the go-to
destinations for both freelancers and clients seeking services. These marketplaces serve as
centralized hubs where freelancers can showcase their skills and connect with potential clients,
streamlining the process of finding work and collaborating on projects.
Within these platforms, freelancers create profiles to showcase their expertise and services, while
clients post projects or browse listings to find suitable freelancers for their needs. Communication
and project management tools provided within the platforms facilitate smooth collaboration
between freelancers and clients, ensuring projects are completed efficiently and effectively.
Despite their popularity and usefulness, freelancer marketplaces also come with their own set of
challenges. Freelancers often face stiff competition from a vast pool of talent, making it
challenging to stand out and secure projects. Additionally, some freelancers may encounter issues
such as high platform fees and difficulties in establishing long-term relationships with clients.
Nevertheless, freelancer marketplaces have significantly democratized access to freelance

opportunities and provided valuable resources for freelancers to build their careers. These
platforms have played a pivotal role in connecting freelancers with work opportunities and
fostering collaboration within the freelance community.
2.1.1 DRAWBACKS
Fees: These sites charge fees for using their services, like taking a bit of the money
freelancers make. These fees can eat into what freelancers earn, making it harder to make
a living.
Less Control: Freelancers don't always get to decide how they work or when they get
paid. They have to follow strict rules set by the sites, which can be frustrating.
Fewer Repeat Jobs: It's hard for freelancers to find clients who keep hiring them for more
work. Most clients just need someone for one job, so freelancers have to keep looking for
new gigs.
Quality Can Vary: With so many freelancers to choose from, it's not always easy for
clients to find someone who does great work.

SYSTEM DESIGN

3. SYSTEM DESIGN
3.1 FILE DESIGN
System design is the phase that bridges the gap between the problem domain and the existing
system in a manageable way. This phase focuses on the solution domain, i.e. “how to
implement?”
It is the phase where the SRS document is converted into a format that can be implemented
and decides how the system will operate.
In this phase, the complex activity of system development is divided into several smaller sub-
activities, which coordinate with each other to achieve the main objective of system
development.
Inputs to System Design
● Statement of work
● Requirement determination plan
● Current situation analysis
● Proposed system requirements including a conceptual data model, modified DFDs,
and Metadata (data about data).

3.2 INPUT DESIGN
The input design is the link between the information system and the user. It comprises the
developing specification and procedures for data preparation and those steps are necessary to
put transaction data in to a usable form for processing can be achieved by inspecting the
computer to read data from a written or printed document or it can occur by having people
keying the data directly into the system. The design of input focuses on controlling the
amount of input required, controlling the errors, avoiding delay, avoiding extra steps and
keeping the process simple. The input is designed in such a way so that it provides security
and ease of use with retaining privacy. Input Design considered the following things:
⮚ What data should be given as input?

⮚ How should the data be arranged or coded?
⮚ The dialog to guide the operating personnel in providing input.
⮚ Methods for preparing input validations and steps to follow when errors occur.
Input Design is the process of converting a user-oriented description of the input into a
computer-based system. This design is important to avoid errors in the data input process and
show the correct direction to the management for getting correct information from the
computerized system.
It is achieved by creating user-friendly screens for the data entry to handle large volumes of
data. The goal of designing input is to make data entry easier and to be free from errors. The
data entry screen is designed in such a way that all the data can be performed. It also provides
record viewing facilities.

3.3 OUTPUT DESIGN
A quality output is one, which meets the requirements of the end user and presents the
information clearly. In any system results of processing are communicated to the users and to
other systems through outputs. In output design it is determined how the information is to be
displaced for immediate need and also the hard copy output. It is the most important and
direct source of information to the user. Efficient and intelligent output design improves the
system’s relationship to help user decision-making.
1. Designing computer output should proceed in an organized, well thought out manner; the
right output must be developed while ensuring that each output element is designed so that
people will find the system can use easily and effectively. When analysis design computer
output, they should Identify the specific output that is needed to meet the requirements.
2. Select methods for presenting information.
3. Create document, report, or other formats that contain information produced by the system.
The output form of an information system should accomplish one or more of the following
objectives.
⮚ Convey information about past activities, current status or projections of the

⮚ Future.
⮚ Signal important events, opportunities, problems, or warnings.
⮚ Trigger an action.
⮚ Confirm an action.

3.4 DATABASE DESIGN
Database design is the process of producing a detailed data model of database. This data
model contains all the needed logical and physical design choices and physical storage
parameters needed to generate a design in a data definition language, which can then be used
to create a database. A fully attributed data model contains detailed attributes for each entity.
The term database design can be used to describe many different parts of the design of an
overall database system. Principally, and most correctly, it can be thought of as the logical
design of the base data structures used to store the data. In the relational model these are
the tables and views. In an object database the entities and relationships map directly to
object classes and named relationships. However, the term database design could also be used
to apply to the overall process of designing, not just the base data structures, but also the
forms and queries used as part of the overall database application within the database
management system (DBMS).
The process of doing database design generally consists of a number of steps which will be
carried out by the database designer.

NORMALIZATION
A large database defined as a single relation may result in data duplication. This
repetition of data may result in:
 Making relations very large.

 It isn't easy to maintain and update data as it would involve searching many
records in relation.
 Wastage and poor utilization of disk space and resources.
 The likelihood of errors and inconsistencies increases.
So, to handle these problems, we should analyse and decompose the relations with
redundant data into smaller, simpler, and well-structured relations that are satisfy desirable
properties. Normalization is a process of decomposing the relations into relations with fewer
attributes.
Why do we need Normalization?
The main reason for normalizing the relations is removing these anomalies. Failure to
eliminate anomalies leads to data redundancy and can cause data integrity and other problems
as the database grows. Normalization consists of a series of guidelines that helps to guide you
in creating a good database structure.
Data modification anomalies can be categorized into three types:
 Insertion Anomaly: Insertion Anomaly refers to when one cannot insert a new tuple
into a relationship due to lack of data.
 Deletion Anomaly: The delete anomaly refers to the situation where the deletion of
data results in the unintended loss of some other important data.
 Updatation Anomaly: The update anomaly is when an update of a single data value
requires multiple rows of data to be updated.

3.5 SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
3.5.1 MODULE DESCRIPTION

User Management: GigBuddies ensures seamless user registration, login authentication, and
profile creation, while managing user roles and access permissions for security and
personalized interactions.

SYSTEM TESTING

4. SYSTEM TESTING
The purpose of system testing is to identify and correct errors in the candidate system.
Testing is done to achieve the system goal. Testing is vital to the parts of the system are
correct; the goal will be successfully achieved. Inadequate testing or non-testing leads to
errors that may not appear until months later. The various types of testing done on the system
are:
⮚ Unit Testing
⮚ Integration Testing
⮚ Validation Testing
⮚ Quality Assurance
UNIT TESTING
A program represents the logical elements of a system. For a program to run

satisfactorily, it must compile and test data correctly and tie in properly with other programs.
Achieving an error free program is the responsibility of the programmer. Program statement
that violates one or more rules of the language in which it is written. An improperly defined
field dimension or generated by the computer
INTEGRATION TESTING
Programs are invariably related to one another and interact in the total system. Each
program is tested to see whether it conforms to related programs in the system. Each portion
of the system is tested against the entire module with both the test data and the live data
before the entire system is tested as a whole.
VALIDATION TESTING
The validation testing is performed for all the data in the system. The data are
completely validated according to the companies request and requirement. The function or
performance characteristics confirming specification is uncovered and an efficiency list is
created.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
● The Project is tested completely and various errors found are rectified.
● Security is maintained by providing a separate login for the users.
● Duplication of records are not allowed.
● Various validations are performed to ensure that important data are not missed.
● Testing is performed with some sample inputs from the company and the output is verified
and found right.
WHITE BOX TESTING
This type of testing ensures that
● All independent paths have been exercised at least once.

● All logical decisions have been exercised on their true and false sides.
● All loops are executed at their boundaries and within their operational bounds
● All internal data structures have been exercised to assure their validity.
To follow the concept of white box testing we have tested each form. I have created
independently to verify that Data flow is correct, all conditions are exercised to check their
validity, all loops are executed on their boundaries.
BLACK BOX TESTING
Black box testing, concrete box or functional testing is used in computer

programming, software engineering and software testing to check that the outputs of a
program, given certain inputs, conform to the functional specification of the program.
The term black box indicates that the internal implementation of the program being executed
is not examined by the tester. Boundary value analysis is a technique of black box testing in
which input values at the boundaries of the input domain are tested. It has been widely
recognized that input values at the extreme ends of, and just outside of, input domains tend
to cause errors in system functionality.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

5. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned into a
working system. The most crucial stage is achieving a successful new system and giving a
user confidence that the new system will work efficiently and effectively in the
implementation stage. The stage consists of
1. Testing a developed program with sample data
2. Detection and correction of error
3. Creating whether the system meets a user requirement
4. making necessary changes as desired by users.
5. Training user personal
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES
The implementation phase is less creative than system design. A system

design may be dropped at any time prior to implementation, although it becomes more
difficult when it goes to the design phase. The final report of the implementation phase
includes procedural flowcharts, record layouts, and a workable plan for implementing the
candidate system design into an operational design.

processes and data named arrows, entering or leaving the bubbles, represent flows. A
rectangle represents a source or sinks and is a net originator or consumer of data. A source or
sink is typically outside the main system study. DFD can be hierarchically organized which
helps in partitioning and analysing the large system, such systems are called levelled DFD’s.
For the hierarchy to be consistent it is important that net input or output of a DFD for a
process are the same input and output of the process in the higher level DFD. The refinement
stops until each bubble is atomic.
The data flow diagram may be used to represent a system or software at any level of
abstraction. In fact, DFD may be partitioned into levels that represent increasing information
flow and functional detail. A level 0 DFD is called a Context Level DFD. This model
represents the entire software element as a single bubble with input and output data indicated
by incoming and outgoing arrows respectively.
DFD is a Graphical representation of the flow data through an information system, modeling
in DFD primary steps creates an overview of the system.
Types of DFD
1) Physical DFD
An information dependent view of the current system showing what the data’s are
carried out and how they are performed.
2) Logical DFD
An implementation independent view of the system focusing on the flow of data

between processes without specified devices storage locations or people in the system.

DFD Components
Entity
An Entity is the source of data the source in a DFD represents, these entities that are
outside the content of the system. Entities are representing rectangles.
Process
The process is the manipulation or work that transforms data, performing computation,
making decisions.
Data Store
A data store is a process that stores data between processors for lateral retrieval by the
same process.
DB
Data Flow
It’s a moment of data between the entity process and datastore. Data Flow is an interface
between the components of the DFD. It’s represented by an arrow.
