OVERVIEW OF ASSESSMENT
COURSE AIM:
The aim of this course is to provide students with the skills to publish a web application, and produce user documentation and training material.
INSTRUCTIONS:
For this assessment, you are required to select a web application. You can choose different web applications from the internet or any web-based project that you have already developed during earlier terms. The application you have chosen must also have software requirements specification (SRS) document. These web-based applications need to be approved from your lecturer. If you cannot find any on your own inform the lecturer, he /she will provide one.
Once you have finalised your web application, use any integrated development environment (IDE) like Xampp, Wampp, visual studio, net beans, aptana/ eclipse and phpstorm etc. to run the application.
ASSESSMENT 1: Test Environment Assignment (TOTAL 65 MARKS)
(THIS ASSIGNMENT CONTRIBUTES 30% TOWARDS TOTAL COURSE MARKS)
Learning outcome 1: Migrate a web solution from development to a testing environment.
Learning outcome 2: Create and use a test plan for a web solution.
Instructions: Install Katalon Studios (Testing tool for manual, scripted and automated testing) in your laptop/desktop. If you are unable to install it, take help from https://www.katalon.com/resources-center/tutorials/get-started/install-setup-katalon-studio/ .
Question 1: Migrate your web application from IDE to Katalan studios. This should bring all internal and external links of the application including databases.
(5 Marks)
Question 2:
Instructions: You can choose any of manual, scripted or automated testing tools, according to the requirements of test cases, from Katalan Studios for solving following problems. You need to keep track of every activities you perform during testing otherwise your work will not be eligible for evaluation and marking. You can do so by using web record utility available within software.

Question 2: Obtain client acceptance for the web application you have hosted. For this purpose, you can use software requirement specification (SRS) to ascertain that application has meet user requirements. Validate at least 10 user requirements from SRS. You are free to consider your lecturer as client and take acceptance. (20 Marks)
ASSESSMENT 3: Project (TOTAL 50 MARKS)

Learning outcome 1: Migrate a web solution from development to a testing environment.
Learning outcome 2: Create and use a test plan for a web solution.
Learning outcome 3: Move a solution from a test environment to a live platform.
Learning outcome 4: Configure applications to meet requirements and obtain client acceptances.
Learning outcome 5: Produce user-training material.
Question1: You are required to produce a user-training manual for the web application you have tested. (50 Marks)
To accomplish this task, you can follow following procedure:
•Begin with an introductory overview.
•Break up the main web application into different components and sections.
