Acknowledgment
This project report is the result of sincere efforts in developing a project by
using all the knowledge that I got during these 6 months. This would have never
been possible without the support, inspiration and guidance from people who are
directly or indirectly involved in this project.
Writing is a lonely process, revising is social one. We would especially like

to thank our guide and mentor Mr. Sujeet Kumar sir, who guided me through this
project. This simulated many valuable thoughts and motivated us to constantly
revise and reshape the report.
I grateful to many technical and non technical staff members who

contributed their suggestion. I would also like to thank our colleagues who
encouraged me to develop this project. Finally, what kept us going during the last
month of our course was the constant support and help provided by our Course
Coordinator Mr. Nitin Kudhale Sir.

2.2.2: Finalizing the data input and output interfaces.
MODULE 1: GENERAL USER.
As shown in the Figure 2.3, the first screen that appears when a customer visits the
codesystems online certification engine after the flash object intro is finished. Web site is
the home page. Figure 2.3 displays the home page of the online certification engine. The
home page contains options for registered user as well as new user. The home page also
contains links that provide information for contacting Codesystem Pvt .Ltd. services, about
us etc.
Fig 2.3: Home page of application
Notice that the home page contains links to information like “About us”, “Contact us”
and “Services” etc. When a customer clicks on the “Contact us” link, a new window opens
and displays contact information about Codesystem Pvt. Ltd. Figure 2-4 shows the “Contact
us” window.
11
Fig 2.4: Contac Us
Users who are not registered with the System. Web site cannot allow taking
certification. Therefore, users need to first register themselves with the online certification
system. When a user clicks on the link for sign up in the online certification system, a user
registration form appears, as shown in Figure 2-5.
Fig 2.5: Sign Up Form
MODULE 2: REGISTERED USER.
Once user’s registration succeeds, he/she can login to the system and start new
test, edit personal details etc. All details entered by a user are stored in the database. We
will discuss database later under section “2.2.3: Designing the database.” Figure 2-6 shows
user control panel. Using personal details, a user can check his personal details as well as
edit his details Figure 2-7 shows an interface for the same. Figure 2-8 shows an interface
for changing password of users.

When a user clicks on the link Start New Test in the online certification system, an
interface as shown in figure 2.9 asking user to select certification is displayed.
Figure 2-9 Asking user to select certification.
14
As soon as user selects particular certification from list of available certifications a
unique certification_id is generated and notice to note down the certification_id is
displayed to user with a proceed button. When user press precede button a test is started,
showing one by one question to the user (figure 2.10) along with the link to end
examination.
Figure 2-10: New test
Because of any technical problem like power failure the state of certification is
paused and when ever user need the same certification test he need to enter
certification_id and on verifying the certification_id system resumes the certification.
When user clicks end examination, an interface as shown in figure 2.11 is displayed
showing submitted answers by user and the right answers stored in database. Whenever
user wants to check his certification, it is displayed as shown in Figure 2.12.

2.3: LOW LEVEL DESIGN ►
This phase involves preparing a comprehensive design of the various modules based
on the high-level design. In addition, it involves specifying standards, laying down
processes, and documenting all the standards. Documenting the standards helps to
maintain consistency across the various modules of an application. Our team has also
documented the various standards that they will be using in the construction phase. Some
of these standards include naming conventions for variables, controls, and different file
names.
2.2.1 Coding Standards Implemented
Comments:
• Use end-line Comment only on variable declaration lines. End line comments
are comments that follow code on single line.
• Separate comments from delimiters.
• Begin the comment with upper case letter.
• End comment with a period.
• Explain code but do not repeat it.
User Interface objects and controls
Control Prefix Example

TextBox Txt Txtname
Button Btn Bntupdate
Form F1 F1
2.4: CONSTRUCTION►
The construction phase involves coding for various components of the application.
This phase makes use of the various standards and specifications that are decided in the
low-level design phase.
2.5: INTEREGRATION & TESTING ►
The integration and testing phase, as is evident from the name itself, involves
validating the code for each component. After all code has been validated and tested, the
various components are integrated. Finally, after the complete integration of all the
components, a check is run to look for any malfunctions or discrepancies from the planned
application.
