Abstract

This project report presents the design, development, and implementation of a simple yet effective

To-Do List Application aimed at improving personal productivity and task management.

The application allows users to create, manage, and track their daily tasks through a user-friendly

interface. It provides features such as adding new tasks, marking tasks as completed,

editing existing tasks, and deleting tasks.

The system is developed using modern web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript for the

frontend and a backend powered by Node.js and MongoDB. The project follows standard software

engineering practices including requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing.

This report details each phase of the project lifecycle, from conception to execution, and discusses

the challenges faced and the solutions implemented. It also explores the future enhancements that

can be made to improve the system's functionality and user experience.

Chapter 6: Testing

6.1 Introduction to Testing

Testing is a crucial phase in the software development life cycle to ensure the quality, reliability, and
 To-Do List Application Project Report

functionality of the application. The purpose of testing is to identify and rectify bugs and to validate

that the application meets its specified requirements.

6.2 Types of Testing Performed

- Unit Testing:

Individual functions and modules were tested to verify that they work as intended. For example,

task creation and status updates were tested for valid and invalid inputs.

- Integration Testing:

The interaction between the frontend, backend, and database was tested to ensure smooth

communication and data flow.

- System Testing:

The application was tested as a whole to verify that it performs all required tasks correctly in the

intended environment.

- User Acceptance Testing (UAT):

Feedback was gathered from a group of users who tested the application and reported on usability,

functionality, and responsiveness.

6.3 Test Cases

Test Case ID | Test Description | Input | Expected Output | Status

------------|-------------------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------------|---------
 To-Do List Application Project Report

TC01 | Add a new task | Title: "Finish report" | Task added to the list |

Passed

TC02 | Delete a task | Click "Delete" on task ID 3 | Task removed from database

| Passed

TC03 | Update a task title | Change "Buy Milk" to "Buy Eggs" | Task title updated |

Passed

TC04 | Mark task as completed | Click checkbox | Task marked with

"completed" | Passed

TC05 | Add empty task | No title entered | Error message displayed |

Passed

TC06 | Access tasks without backend | Stop backend server | Error/failure message

shown | Passed

6.4 Bug Tracking and Resolution

Bugs were tracked using a shared spreadsheet during testing. Each bug was logged with details

including the description, steps to reproduce, severity, and status. All critical and major bugs were

resolved before the final deployment.

6.5 Tools Used

- Postman: For API testing and request validation.

- Browser Dev Tools: For frontend error tracking and console logs.

- MongoDB Compass: For monitoring database operations.

- Manual Logging: Console logging used during development for debugging logic.

6.6 Summary

The To-Do List application passed all major test cases, and user feedback was positive. The system

performed well under normal usage conditions, and no critical bugs remained unresolved. The

application is now ready for deployment and further enhancements based on user feedback.

Chapter 7: Conclusion and Future Work

7.1 Conclusion

The To-Do List Application project successfully demonstrates the design and development of a task

management tool that is both efficient and user-friendly. Through this project, various aspects of

web development were explored, including frontend interface creation, backend service

implementation, database management, and system integration.

The application fulfills all the outlined objectives such as creating, updating, and deleting tasks, and

allows users to effectively manage their daily activities. Testing confirmed the functionality and

reliability of the application.

Overall, the project enhanced the understanding of full-stack development and software engineering

practices, and provided hands-on experience with modern web technologies.

7.2 Limitations
 To-Do List Application Project Report

- The application does not support collaborative or multi-user task sharing.

- User authentication and authorization are either basic or absent.

- Notifications and reminders for tasks are not implemented.

- Offline functionality is limited.

7.3 Future Enhancements

Future work can focus on expanding the features and improving the user experience:

- Implement user authentication (login/signup) with role-based access.

- Add push notifications or email reminders for tasks.

- Enable task sharing and team collaboration.

- Provide analytics on task completion and productivity tracking.

- Integrate with calendar apps like Google Calendar or Outlook.

- Develop a mobile app version using frameworks like React Native or Flutter.

With these improvements, the application can evolve into a robust task management system

suitable for both personal and professional use.
