teams, encourage openness, responsibility, and efficiency. Our software adjusts to your needs
whether you're a professional balancing several projects, a student handling schoolwork, or a team
leader organizing responsibilities.

1.1 PREREQUISITES

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language):- The framework of web pages is defined by HTML
(Hypertext Markup Language), which uses a set of elements and tags to define its content and
structure. These components consist of, among other things, forms, headings, paragraphs, and
graphics. Web browsers can render material on HTML markup, which makes it possible to create
unified and interactive online experiences

CSS- Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, enhance HTML by controlling how web documents are
presented and look. It gives developers control over the appearance of HTML elements, including
layout, color, and font selection. CSS improves the look and feel of web pages on different screens
and devices by applying styles to HTML elements.

BOOTSTRAP: A front-end framework called Bootstrap uses pre-made HTML and CSS
components to make web creation easier. These flexible and configurable elements—button, form,
1
navigation bar, and grid—make it easier to create designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and
consistent. With the help of Bootstrap, developers can create mobile-first and responsive websites
and online applications more quickly.

VISUAL STUDIO-Microsoft's Visual Studio is a well-known integrated development environment

(IDE) that offers a wide range of tools and capabilities to meet various software development
requirements. It is crucial to the creation of software for a variety of platforms, such as the web,
desktop, mobile, cloud, and gaming apps.

Fundamentally, Visual Studio provides a powerful code editor with cutting-edge features. This
includes code formatting, code completion, and syntax highlighting, which greatly increase
developers' productivity by giving them immediate feedback and recommendations while they write
code. One particularly potent feature is IntelliSense, which helps developers write code more quickly
and error-free by providing context-aware code completion, parameter information, and fast
documentation.

MY SQL -For the purpose of storing, managing, and retrieving structured data, MySQL is an open-
source relational database management system (RDBMS). It uses SQL (Structured Query Language)
to carry out database operations like inserting, updating, removing, and querying. MySQL is a
dependable and scalable solution that is frequently combined with server-side programming
languages like PHP. It makes web application data management more efficient, enabling developers
to design scalable and reliable information storage and retrieval systems

XAMPP: XAMPP is a cross-platform software package that enables developers to set up a local
web server environment on their personal computer. It includes Apache for handling HTTP requests,
MariaDB (formerly MySQL) for database management, PHP for server-side scripting, and Perl for
additional scripting capabilities. XAMPP simplifies the process of creating a local web server by
providing a pre-configured package with all necessary components. This allows developers to
develop, test, and debug web applications offline before deploying them to a production server.
XAMPP is lightweight, easy to install, and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it an
ideal choice for local web development.
2
AJAX: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a web development technique used to build
dynamic and interactive web applications. It enables web pages to make requests to the server,
retrieve data, and update specific parts of the page without needing to reload the entire page. AJAX
operates asynchronously, allowing tasks to be performed in the background while users interact with
the page. JavaScript is the primary language used for AJAX functionality, utilizing XML
HttpRequest (XHR) objects to handle HTTP requests and responses. AJAX requests can
communicate with the server to fetch or submit data using HTTP methods like GET and POST. The
retrieved data is often in JSON format, which can be easily manipulated with JavaScript to update
the Document Object Model (DOM) of the web page dynamically. Overall, AJAX enhances the
responsiveness and user experience of web applications by facilitating seamless communication
between the client and server.

1.2INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

TESTING

5.1 SOFTWARE TESTING

Assignment Coordination Platform (ACP), software testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the
platform's functionality, reliability, and security. Here's how software testing applies within an ACP:

FUNCTIONAL TESTING:-

This entails testing the various functions of the ACP to confirm compliance with specified
requirements. Test cases are crafted to validate actions like assignment creation, submission,
deadline setting, course management, and user communication. Functional testing assures that all
features operate as intended, delivering a seamless user experience.

PPERFORMANCE TESTING:-

CPs must handle multiple users, large datasets, and concurrent activities without performance
degradation. Performance testing assesses responsiveness, scalability, and stability under varied
loads to ensure smooth operation.

INTEGRATION TESTING:-

It is a systematic technique for constructing different program module in to an integrated software

structure. This test uncovers the errors during integration process. The integration aspect is tested
after integrating all the modules and validated.For the sake of software testing both black box testing
methodology as well as white box testing is implemented because there was a need to carry out tests
to both sides of the application, the internal and the functional one. Black box testing includes wrong
input of key, incomplete key and empty message scenario testing. The application does respond to
these tests efficiently. White box testing helped to improve the code and removal of errors and bugs.
USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING:-

37
UAT involves real users testing the ACP to validate its usability, accessibility, and overall user
experience. Users perform tasks and provide feedback, identifying usability issues, confusing
interfaces, or workflow inefficiencies..
