5.1 System Application Design:

In the system design phase, the focus is on designing the application that will
support the stock market analysis. This includes designing the methods and algorithms
used, as well as defining the structure and organization of the system. Here are some key
components of the system application design:

5.1.1 Method Pseudo code:

Pseudo code provides a high-level representation of the methods and algorithms

used in the system. It outlines the logic and steps involved in performing specific tasks or
calculations. Pseudo code serves as a blueprint for implementing the methods in a
programming language. For example, the pseudo code for a method to calculate a stock's
moving average could be:

This pseudo code outlines the steps to calculate the moving average of a stock's
closing prices using a given window size.

5.2.1 Table and Relationship:

Tables represent entities or objects in the system and define the fields (columns)
and data types associated with each entity. Relationships between tables establish
connections or associations between entities. For example, in a stock market analysis
system, you may have tables for stocks, historical prices, financial indicators, and user
information. Relationships between these tables could include one-to-many relationships,
such as a stock having multiple historical prices.

Page | 38
5.2.2 Logical Description of Data:

The logical description of data outlines the purpose and meaning of each field in
the database tables. It provides a clear understanding of the data stored in each field and
its relationship to other fields. For example, in a stock table, you may have fields like
ticker symbol, company name, industry, and exchange. The logical description would
explain the purpose and format of each field.

5.3 Input/Output and Interface Design:

The input/output and interface design focuses on defining how users interact with
the system and the presentation of information. This includes designing forms, reports,
and interfaces that facilitate data input, data visualization, and result presentation.

5.3.1 State Transition/UML Diagram:

State transition or UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams illustrate the

various states or conditions that a system can be in and the transitions between those

Page | 39
states. These diagrams are useful for understanding the flow of actions or events in the
system. For example, a state transition diagram could represent the different states of a
stock analysis process, such as data collection, data preprocessing, model training, and
result generation.

5.3.2 Samples of Forms, Reports, and Interfaces:

Forms, reports, and interfaces are the visual components that allow users to
interact with the system and view information. Samples of these components can be
designed using wireframes or mockups to demonstrate the layout, structure, and
functionality of the user interface. For example, a sample form can display fields for users
to enter stock symbols and select analysis parameters, while a sample report can present
the results of a stock price prediction model.

In the system design phase, attention is given to designing the application,

defining the data structure, and creating intuitive interfaces for users to interact with the
system. These design components form the basis for implementing and developing the
stock market analysis system.

Page | 43
 - Input: Request to train a stock price prediction model using a specific algorithm and
training parameters.

- Expected Result: The model is successfully trained, and the model's performance
metrics meet the defined criteria.

4. Test Case: User Interface Validation

- Preconditions: System is running, user is logged in.

- Input: Interacting with different user interface elements, entering values, selecting
options.

- Expected Result: The user interface behaves as intended, displays correct information,
