CHAPTER 1
Gathering & Analyzing Info

Scope of Project:
10 | P a g e

In today's competitive job market, finding suitable employment can be a daunting

task for jobseekers. Job seekers often spend a considerable amount of time
searching for job openings and applying for positions, while employers spend
time and resources advertising job openings and screening applicants.

A job portal website can provide a centralized platform for job seekers to search for
job openings and for employers to post job openings. This simplifies the
recruitment process for both jobseekers and employers, saving them time and
resources. This project aims to create a job portal website that allows job seekers to
find employment opportunities and employers to post job openings.

Functional Requirements:

The website will have three main modules:

 Job seeker module
 Employer module
 Admin module

In the job seeker module, job seekers can:

1. Register and log in to the system.

11 | P a g e

2. Create and manage their profiles, including adding their education,

skills, and work experience.
3. Search and apply for job openings.
4. Receive job alerts and notifications.
5. Save job openings for later review.

In the employer module, employers can:

1. Register and log in to the system.

2. Create and manage their company profiles, including adding job
postings and company information.
3. Search and view job seeker profiles.
4. Receive job application notifications.
5. Contact job seekers via email or the website's messaging system.

In the admin module, website administrator can:

1. Manage the entire website including the job seeker and employer
modules.
2. Manage user accounts.
3. View user profiles.
4. Moderate job postings and applications.
5. Manage website content.

Non Functional Requirements:

1. Performance: System should perform with respective to its Operating System

environments. All functions should perform excellently and effectively without
any inconvenience
2. Usability: Usability point of view, the system will be user friendly.
3. Portability: The application can portable from one desktop application to
another easily.
4. Security: Every user should have his/her own password. Password
complexity should be very strong so that passwords cannot easily break
5. Reliability: The system should be created that the system is reliable in its
operations and for securing the sensitive detail.
6. Safety: Information transmission ought to be firmly transmitted to server
with none changes in data

Adopted Methodology

In this project we will adopt the VU Process model. It focuses more on

testing the system. V model has two branches looks like V. Left branch
contains all Phases and right branch all Tests those are relevant to each
individual Phase.
Like linear model V model also starts with analysis and identification of
requirements then move to design and implementation phases.
19 | P a g e

The left branch forms analysis and design related activities on the other
hand the right branch forms different types of testing like Unit Testing,
Integration Testing, System Testing, Acceptance Testing etc. Each testing
activity right branch verifies corresponding analysis and design related
activities of left branch.

Benefits and Drawbacks

Benefits are-
Straightforward so easy to understand
Allow to verify product at multiple level by executing different types of
testing
Drawbacks are-
Doesn’t accommodate any changes

CHAPTER 2
Designing the Project
22 | P a g e
23 | P a g e

1. Introduction of Design Document

The Software Design document gives information about the

structure of software, components or software, its interfaces and
data mandatory for the implementation phase where coding is
done. Every requirement made in the SRS must be evident and
traceable to one or more design entities in the design document.

Purpose of design document:

The purpose of the Design Phase is to change or translate the

requirements into perfect or complete and specifications of
detailed system design. When design of the application under
consideration is accepted, after that the programmer starts
working on coding process which is known as the Development
Phase of application.

The Design Phase is considered complete and successful if it

consists of:
• Complete transformation of all requirements specified in early
phase into detailed specifications covering all aspects and pros
and cons of the system.
• Planning, making strategy and Evaluation, for security risks and
then finding precautions.
• Approval to progress to the Development Phase Goals.
