1.1 Introduction
Android is an software platform and operating system for mobile devices. It is based on
the Linux kernel. It was developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance
(OHA). It allows writing managed code in the Java language. Due to Android here is
the possibility to write applications in other languages and compiling it to ARM native
code. Unveiling of the Android platform was announced on 5 November 2007 with the
founding of OHA.
It's a consortium of several companies
1.1.1 Introduction to Project Environment
OPERATING SYSTEM:
An operating system (OS) is software consisting of programs and data hostel
management system project report runs on computers and manages computer hardware
resources and provides common services for efficient execution of various application
software.
For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the
operating system acts as an intermediary between application programs and the
computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the
hardware and will frequently call the OS or be interrupted by it.

Types of Operating Systems:
Real-time Operating System:
It is a multitasking operating system hostel management system project report
aims at executing real-time applications. Real-time operating systems often use
specialized scheduling algorithms so hostel management system project report they can
achieve a deterministic nature ofbehaviour. The main object of real-time operating

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
systems is their quick and predictable response to events. They either have an event-
driven or a time-sharing design. An event-driven system switches between tasks based
on their priorities while time-sharing operating systems switch tasks based on clock
interrupts.
Multi-user and Single-user Operating Systems:
The operating systems of this hostel type allow a multiple users to access a
computer system concurrently. Time-sharing system can be classified as multi-user
systems as they enable a multiple user access to a computer through the sharing of time.
Single-user operating systems, as opposed to a multi-user operating system, are usable
by a single user at a time. Being able to have multiple accounts on a Windows operating
system does not make it a multi-user system. Rather, only the network administrator is
the real user. But for a Unix-like operatingsystem, it is possible for two users to login at
a time and this hostel capability of the OS makes it a multi-user operating system.
Multi-tasking and Single-tasking Operating Systems:
When a single program is allowed to run at a time, the system is grouped under
a single-tasking system, while in case the operating system allows the execution of
multiple tasks at one time, it is classified as a multi-tasking operating system. Multi-
tasking can be of two types namely, pre-emptive or co-operative. In pre-emptive
multitasking, the operating system slices the CPU time and dedicates one slot to each of
the programs. Unix-like operating systems such as Solaris and Linux support pre-
emptive multitasking. Cooperative multitasking is achieved by relying on each process
to give time to the other processes in a defined manner. MS Windows prior to Windows
95 used to support cooperative multitasking.
Distributed Operating System:
An operating system hostel management system project report manages a group
of independent computers and makes them appear to be a single computer is known as a
distributed operating system. The development of networked computers hostel
management system project report could be linked and communicate with each other,
gave rise to distributed computing. Distributed computations are carried out on more
4. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
than one machine. When computers in a group work in cooperation, they make a
distributed system.
Embedded System:
The operating systems designed for being used in embedded computer systems
are known as embedded operating systems. They are designed to operate on small
machines like PDAs with less autonomy. They are able to operate with a limited
number of resources. They are very compact and extremely efficient by design.
Windows CE and Minix 3 are some examples of embedded operating systems.
Batch Processing Operating System:
In a batch processing operating system interaction between the user and processor is
limited or there is no interaction at all during the execution of work. Data and programs
hostel management system project report need to be processed are bundled and
collected as a ‘batch’ and executed together.
Batch processing operating systems are ideal in situations where:
- There are large amounts of data to be processed.
- Similar data needs to be processed.
- Similar processing is involved when executing the data.
The system is capable of identifying times when the processor is idle at which time
‘batches’
Maybe processed. Processing is all performed automatically without any user
intervention.

History:
In the early 1950s, a computer could execute only one program at a time. Each
user had sole use of the computer and would arrive at a scheduled time with program
and data on punched paper cards and tape. The program would be loaded into the
machine, and the machine would be set to work until the program completed or crashed.
Programs could generally be debugged via a front panel using toggle switches and panel
lights. It is said hostel management system project reportAlan Turing was a master of
this hostel on the early Manchester Mark 1 machine, and he was already deriving the
primitive conception of an operating system from the principles of the Universal Turing
machine.
Mainframes:
Through the 1950s, many major features were pioneered in the field of operating
systems, including batch processing, multitasking,spooling, runtime libraries, link-
loading, and programs for sorting records in files. This hostel features were included or
not included in application software at the option of application programmers, rather
than in a separate operating system used by all applications. In 1959 the SHARE
Operating System was released as an integrated utility for the IBM 704, and later in
the 709 and 7090 mainframes.
During the 1960s, IBM's OS/360 introduced the concept of a single OS spanning
an entire product line, which was crucial for the success of the System/360
machines. IBM's current mainframe operating systems are distant descendants of this
6. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
6
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
hostel original system and applications written for OS/360 can still be run on modern
machines. In the mid-'70s, MVS, a descendant of OS/360, offered the first
implementation of using RAM as a transparent cache for data.
In the late 1960s through the late 1970s, several hardware capabilities evolved
hostel management system project report allowed similar or ported software to run on
more than one system. Early systems had utilized microprogramming to implement
features on their systems in order to permit different underlying architecture to appear
to be the same as others in a series. In fact most 360's after the 360/40 (except the
360/165 and 360/168) were micro programmed implementations. But soon other means
of achieving application compatibility were proven to be more significant.
The enormous investment in software for this hostel systems made since 1960s
caused most of the original computer manufacturers to continue to develop compatible
operating systems along with the hardware. The notable supported mainframe operating
systems include:
Burroughs MCP – B5000, 1961 to Unisys Clear path/MCP, present.
IBM OS/360 – IBM System/360, 1966 to IBM z/OS, present.
IBM CP-67 – IBM System/360, 1967 to IBM z/VM, present.
UNIVAC EXEC 8 – UNIVAC 1108, 1967, to OS 2200 Unisys Clear path Dorado,
present.
Microcomputers:
PC-DOS was an early personal computer OS hostel management system project report featured a
command line interface.
7. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
The first microcomputers did not have the capacity or need for the elaborate
operating systems hostel management system project report had been developed for
mainframes and minis; minimalistic operating systems were developed, often loaded
from ROM and known as Monitors. One notable early disk-based operating system
was CP/M, which was supported on many early microcomputers and was closely
imitated in MS-DOS, which became wildly popular as the operating system chosen for
the IBM PC (IBM's version of it was called IBM DOS or PC DOS), its successors
making Microsoft.
Examples of operating systems:
Microsoft Windows
Windows 7, shown here, is the newest release of Windows.
Microsoft Windows is a family of proprietary operating systems most commonly used
on personal computers. It is the most common family of operating systems for the

personal computer, with about 90% of the market share. Currently, the most widely
used version of the Windows family is Windows XP, released on October 25, 2001.
The newest version is Windows 7 for personal computers and Windows Server 2008
R2 for servers.
Windows is also used on servers, supporting applications such as web
servers and database servers. In recent years, Microsoft has spent significant marketing
and research & development money to demonstrate hostel management system project
report Windows is capable of running any enterprise application, which has resulted in
consistent price/performance records (see the TPC) and significant acceptance in the
enterprise market.
Android:
Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management, process management,
and networking.
The next level up contains the Android native libraries. They are all written in C/C++
internally, but you’ll be calling them through Java interfaces. In this hostel layer you
can find the Surface Manager, 2D and 3D graphics, Media codecs, the SQL database

1.1.2Introduction to Databases
Database
A database is a system intended to organize, store, and retrieve large amounts
of data easily. It consists of an organized collection of data for one or more uses,
typically in digital form. One way of classifying databases involves the type of their
contents, for example: bibliographic, document-text, statistical. Digital databases are
managed using database management systems, which store database contents, allowing
data creation and maintenance, and search and other access.
10. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
10
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Architecture:
Database architecture consists of three levels, external, conceptual and internal.
Clearly separating the three levels was a major feature of the relational database
model hostel management system project report dominates 21st century databases.
The external level defines how users understand the organization of the data. A
single database can have any number of views at the external level. The internal level
defines how the data is physically stored and processed by the computing system.
Internal architecture is concerned with cost, performance, scalability and other
operational matters. The conceptual is a level of indirection between internal and
external. It provides a common view of the database hostel management system project
report is uncomplicated by details of how the data is stored or managed, and hostel
management system project report can unify the various external views into a coherent
whole.
Database management systems:
A database management system (DBMS) consists of software hostel
management system project report operates databases, providing storage, access,
security, backup and other facilities. Database management systems can be categorized
according to the database model hostel management system project report they support,
such as relational or XML, the type(s) of computer they support, such as a server cluster
or a mobile phone, the query language(s) hostel management system project report
access the database, such as SQL or XQuery, performance trade-offs, such as maximum
scale or maximum speed or others. Some DBMS cover more than one entry in this
hostel categories, e.g., supporting multiple query languages. Examples of some
commonly used DBMS are MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, SQLServer,
FileMaker, Oracle, Sybase, dBase, Clipper, FoxPro etc. Almost every database software
comes with an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver hostel management system
project report allows the database to integrate with other databases.
11. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
11
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Components of DBMS:
Most DBMS as of 2009 implement a relational model. Other DBMS systems,
such as Object DBMS, offer specific features for more specialized requirements. Their
components are similar, but not identical.
RDBMScomponents:
Sublanguages— Relational DBMS (RDBMS) include Data Definition
Language (DDL) for defining the structure of the database, Data Control
Language (DCL) for defining security/access controls, and Data Manipulation
Language (DML) for querying and updating data.
Interface drivers:-This hostel drivers are code libraries hostel management
system project report provide methods to prepare statements,execute statements,
fetch results, etc. Examples include ODBC, JDBC, MySQL/PHP, FireBird/Python.
SQL engine:-This hostel component interprets and executes the DDL, DCL,
and DML statements. It includes three major components (compiler, optimizer, and
executor).
Transaction engine:-Ensures hostel management system project report multiple
SQL statements either succeed or fail as a group, according to application dictates.
Relational engine:-Relational objects such as Table, Index, and Referential
integrity constraints are implemented in this hostel component.
Storage engine:-This hostel component stores and retrieves data from secondary
storage, as well as managing transaction commit and rollback, backup and recovery,
etc.
12. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
12
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
ODBMScomponents:
Object DBMS (ODBMS) has transaction and storage components hostel
management system project report are analogous to those in an RDBMS. Some DBMS
handle DDL, DML and update tasks differently. Instead of using sublanguages, they
provide APIs for this hostel purposes. They typically include a sublanguage and
accompanying engine for processing queries with interpretive statements analogous to
but not the same as SQL. Example object query languages
are OQL, LINQ, JDOQL, JPAQL and others. The query engine returns collections of
objects instead of relational rows.
Types:
Operational database:
This hostel databases store detailed data about the operations of an
organization. They are typically organized by subject matter, process relatively high
volumes of updates using transactions. Essentially every major organization on earth
uses such databases. Examples include customer databases hostel management system
project report record contact, credit, and demographic information about a business'
customers, personnel databases hostel management system project report hold
information such as salary, benefits, skills data about employees, Enterprise resource
planning hostel management system project report record details about product
components, parts inventory, and financial databases hostel management system
project report keep track of the organization's money, accounting and financial dealings.
Data warehouse:
Data warehouses archive modern data from operational databases and often
from external sources such as market research firms. Often operational data undergoes
transformation on its way into the warehouse, getting summarized, anonymized,
reclassified, etc. The warehouse becomes the central source of data for use by managers
13. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
13
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
and other end-users who may not have access to operational data. For example, sales
data might be aggregated to weekly totals and converted from internal product codes to
use UPC codes so hostel management system project report it can be compared
with ACNielsen data.Some basic and essential components of data warehousing include
retrieving and analyzing data, transforming,loading and managing data so as to make it
available for further use.
Operations in a data warehouse are typically concerned with bulk data
manipulation, and as such, it is unusual and inefficient to target individual rows for
update, insert or delete. Bulk native loaders for input data and bulk SQL passes for
aggregation are the norm.
Analytical database:
Analysts may do their work directly against a data warehouse or create a
separate analytic database for Online Analytical Processing. For example, a company
might extract sales records for analyzing the effectiveness of advertising and other sales
promotions at an aggregate level.
Distributed database:
This hostel are databases of local work-groups and departments at regional
offices, branch offices, manufacturing plants and other work sites. This hostel
databases can include segments of both common operational and common user
databases, as well as data generated and used only at a user’s own site.
End-user database:
This hostel databases consist of data developed by individual end-users.
Examples of this hostel are collections of documents in spreadsheets, word processing
and downloaded files, even managing their personal baseball card collection.
External database:
This hostel databases contain data collected for use across multiple
organizations, either freely or via subscription. The Internet Movie Database is one
example.
14. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
14
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Hypermedia databases:
The World Wide Web can be thought of as a database, albeit one spread across
millions of independent computing systems. Web browsers "process" this hostel data
one page at a time, while web crawlers and other software provide the equivalent of
database indexes to support search and other activities.
Models:
Post-relational database models:
Products offering a more general data model than the relational model are
sometimes classified as post-relational Alternate terms include "hybrid database",
"Object-enhanced RDBMS" and others. The data model in such products
incorporates relations but is not constrained by E.F. Codd's Information Principle,
which requires hostel management system project report all information in the database
must be cast explicitly in terms of values in relations and in no other way some of this
hostel extensions to the relational model integrate concepts from technologies hostel
management system project report pre-date the relational model. For example, they
allow representation of a directed graph with trees on the nodes.
Some post-relational products extend relational systems with non-relational
features. Others arrived in much the same place by adding relational features to pre-
relational systems. Paradoxically, this hostel allows products hostel management
system project report are historically pre-relational, such as PICK and MUMPS, to
make a plausible claim to be post-relational.

Object database models:
In recent years, the object-oriented paradigm has been applied in areas such as
engineering and spatial databases, telecommunications and in various scientific
domains. The conglomeration of object oriented programming and database technology
led to this hostel new kind of database. This hostel databases attempt to bring the
database world and the application-programming world closer together, in particular by
ensuring hostel management system project report the database uses the same type
system as the application program. This hostel aims to avoid the overhead (sometimes
referred to as the impedance mismatch) of converting information between its
representation in the database (for example as rows in tables) and its representation in
the application program (typically as objects). At the same time, object databases
16. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
16
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
attempt to introduce key ideas of object programming, such
as encapsulation and polymorphism, into the world of databases.
A variety of this hostel ways have been triedfor storing objects in a database.
Some products have approached the problem from the application-programming side,
by making the objects manipulated by the program persistent. This hostel also typically
requires the addition of some kind of query language, since conventional programming
languages do not provide language-level functionality for finding objects based on their
information content. Othershave attacked the problem from the database end, by
defining an object-oriented data model for the database, and defining a
database programming language hostel management system project report allows full
programming capabilities as well as traditional query facilities.
Storage structures:
Databases may store relational tables/indexes in memory or on hard disk in one of many
forms:
ordered/unordered flat files
ISAM
heaps
hash buckets
logically-blocked files
Fractal Tree indexes
B+ trees
17. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
17
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
The most commonly usedare B+ trees and ISAM.
Object databases use a range of storage mechanisms. Some use virtual memory-
mapped files to make the native language (C++, Java etc.) objects persistent. This
hostel can be highly efficient but it can make multi-language access more difficult.
Others disassemble objects into fixed- and varying-length components hostel
management system project report are then clustered in fixed sized blocks on disk and
reassembled into the appropriate format on either the client or server address space.
Another popular technique involves storing the objects in tuples (much like a relational
database) which the database server then reassembles into objects for the client.
Other techniques include clustering by category (such as grouping data by
month, or location), storing pre-computed query results, known as materialized views,
partitioning data by range (e.g., a data range) or by hash.
Memory management and storage topology can be important design choices
for database designers as well. Just as normalization is used to reduce storage
requirements and improve database designs, conversely renormalizations are often used
to reduce join complexity and reduce query execution time.
Indexing:
Indexing is a technique for improving database performance. The many types of
index share the common property hostel management system project report they
eliminate the need to examine every entry when running a query. In large databases, this
hostel can reduce query time/cost by orders of magnitude. The simplest form of index is
a sorted list of values hostel management system project report can be searched using
a binary search with an adjacent reference to the location of the entry, analogous to the
index in the back of a book. The same data can have multiple indexes (an employee
database could be indexed by last name and hire date.)
Indexes affect performance, but not results. Database designers can add or
remove indexes without changing application logic, reducing maintenance costs as the
database grows and database usage evolves.

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The selection of hardware is very important in the existence and proper working of any
software. When selecting hardware, the size and requirements are also important.
2.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

RAM : 512MB
Hard Disk Drive : 40GB
Mobile : Android Mobile
2.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Operating system : WindowsXp or any latest version of windows
Web Browser : Mozilla Firefox or any browser

Php is a Hypertext Preprocessor (a recursive acronym, originally personal home page)
is a general-purpose scripting language hostel management system project report was
originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this
hostel purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted
by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document.
As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter
application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and
producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a
graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and
as a standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms. Flex is
used to show the front-end screens on the mobile based on the inputs provided by PHP

CHAPTER-3
3 Literature Survey/Review of Literature
3.1 Introduction to Technologies
Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods
of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose. The
word technology comes from the Greek technological — téchnē an "art", "skill" or
"craft" and -logia the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a
discipline. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples
include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.
3.1.1 JAVA:
Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded
programming environment.
Java technology is both a programming language and a platform.
The Java programming language is a high-level language hostel management
system project report can be characterized by all of the following buzzwords:
Simple Architecture neutral
Object oriented Portable
Distributed High performance
Multithreaded Robust
Dynamic Secure
Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun
Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995
as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much
of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-
level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled tobytecode (class file) hostel
management system project report can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based,
20. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
20
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
object-oriented language hostel management system project report is specifically
designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let
application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most
popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to
web applications.
Automatic memory management:
Java uses an automatic garbage collector to manage memory in the object lifecycle. The
programmer determines when objects are created, and the Java runtime is responsible
for recovering the memory once objects are no longer in use. Once no references to an
object remain, the unreachable memory becomes eligible to be freed automatically by
the garbage collector. Something similar to a memory leak may still occur if a
programmer's code holds a reference to an object hostel management system project
report is no longer needed, typically when objects hostel management system project
report are no longer needed are stored in containers hostel management system project
report are still in use. If methods for a nonexistent object are called, a "null pointer
exception" is thrown.
Syntax:
The syntax of Java is largely derived from C++. Unlike C++, which combines the
syntax for structured, generic, and object-oriented programming, Java was built almost
exclusively as an object-oriented language. All code is written inside a class, and
everything is an object, with the exception of the primitive data types (integers,
floating-point numbers, boolean values, and characters), which are not classes for
performance reasons.
Java uses similar commenting methods to C++. There are three different styles of
comment: a single line style marked with two slashes (//), a multiple line style opened
with a slash asterisk (/*) and closed with an asterisk slash (*/), and
theJavadoc commenting style opened with a slash and two asterisks (/**) and closed
with an asterisk slash (*/). The Javadoc style of commenting allows the user to run the
Javadoc executable to compile documentation for the program.
Example:
21. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
21
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
publicclassHelloWorld
{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
Editions:
Sun has defined and supports four editions of Java targeting different application
environments and segmented many of its APIs so hostel management system project
report they belong to one of the platforms. The platforms are:
Java Card for smartcards.
Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) — targeting environments with limited
resources.
Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) — targeting workstation environments.
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) — targeting large distributed enterprise
or Internet environment.
3.1.2 XML:
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents
in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced
by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards.
XML's design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over
the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the
languages of the world. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is
widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, for example
in web services.
Key terminology:
22. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
22
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
The material in this hostel section is based on the XML Specification. This
hostel is not an exhaustive list of all the constructs which appear in XML; it
provides an introduction to the key constructs most often encountered in day-to-
day use.
Character:
By definition, an XML document is a string of characters. Almost every
legal Unicode character may appear in an XML document.
Processor and Application:
The processor analyzes the markup and passes structured information to an application.
The specification places requirements on what an XML processor must do and not do,
but the application is outside its scope. The processor (as the specification calls it) is
often referred to colloquially as an XML parser.
Markup and Content:
The characters which make up an XML document are divided into markup and content.
Markup and content may be distinguished by the application of simple syntactic rules.
All strings which constitute markup either begin with the character "<" and end with a
">", or begin with the character "&" and end with a ";". Strings of characters which are
not markup are content.
Tag:
A markup construct hostel management system project report begins with "<" and ends
with ">". Tags come in three flavors: start-tags, for example <section>, end-tags,
for example </section>, and empty-element tags, for example <line-break />.
Element:
A logical component of a document which either begins with a start-tag and ends with a
matching end-tag, or consists only of an empty-element tag. The characters between the
start- and end-tags, if any, are theelement's content, and may contain markup, including
other elements, which are called child elements. An example for child elemen
is <Greeting>Hello, world.</Greeting> Another is <line-break />.

A markup construct consisting of a name/value pair hostel management system project
report exists within a start-tag or empty-tag element tag.In the example (belowthe
element img has two
attributes, src and alt:<img src="madonna.jpg" alt='Foligno Madonna, by Raphael' />.
Another example would be <step number="3">Connect A to B.</step> where the name
of the attribute is "number" and the value is "3".
XML Declaration:
XML documents may begin by declaring some information about themselves, as in the
following example.
<? xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
3.1.3 HTML:
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup
language for web pages. HTML is the basic building-blocks of webpages.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
A markup language is a set of markup tags
HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into
visual or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the
tags to interpret the content of the page.
HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML
allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used tocreate interactive forms. It
provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for
text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can
embed scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML
webpages.
Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the
appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the
HTML and the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicitly presentational

HTML markup consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author
— this hostel are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through
a browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
This hostel browser reads the file and translates the text into a visible form, hopefully
rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your own HTML entails using
tags correctly to create your vision. You can use anything from a rudimentary text-
editor to a powerful graphical editor to create HTML pages.
HTML Tags:
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags
Markup:
HTML markup consists of several key components, including elements (and
their attributes), character-based data types, character references and entity references.
Another important component is the document type declaration, which
triggers standards mode rendering.
<! doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World!</p>
</body></html>

Elements
HTML documents are composed entirely of HTML elements hostel
management system project report, in their most general form have three components: a
pair of element tags, a "start tag" and "end tag"; some element attributes within the start
tag; and finally, any textual and graphical content between the start and end tags.
The HTML element is everything between and including the tags. Each tag is enclosed
in angle brackets.
The general form of an HTML element is therefore: <tag attribute1="value1"
attribute2="value2">content to be rendered</tag>

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) hostel
management system project report runs as a server providing multi-user access to a
number of databases. It is named after developer Michael Widenius' daughter, my. The
SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.
The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the
terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary
agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish
company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.
Free-software projects hostel management system project report require a full-
featured database management system often use MySQL. For commercial use, several
paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Some free software
project examples: Joomla, WordPress, MyBB, phpBB, Drupal and other software built
on the LAMP software stack. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale
World Wide Web products, including Wikipedia, Google and Face book.
Uses:
MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central
component of the widely used LAMP web application software stack—LAMP is an
acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python".
MySQL is used in some of the most frequently visited web sites on the Internet,
including Flicker,Nokia.com, YouTube and as previously mentioned; Wikipedia,
Google and Face book.
Platforms and interfaces:
MySQL is written in C and C++. Its SQL parser is written in yacc, and a home-
brewed lexical analyzer named sql_lex.cc.
MySQL works on many different system platforms, including AIX, BSDi,
FreeBSD, HP-UX, eComStation, i5/OS, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows,
NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, OS/2 Warp, QNX, Solaris,

Symbian, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64. A port of
MySQL to OpenVMS also exists.
Many programming languages with language-specific APIs include libraries for
accessing MySQL databases. This hostel include MySQL Connector/Net for
integration with Microsoft's Visual Studio (languages such as C# and VB are most
commonly used) and the ODBC driver for Java. In addition, an ODBC interface called
MyODBC allows additional programming languages hostel management system
project report support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database,
such as ASP or ColdFusion. The HTSQL - URL based query method also ships with a
MySQL adapter, allowing direct interaction between a MySQL database and any web
client via structured URLs. The MySQL server and official libraries are mostly
implemented in ANSI C/ANSI C++.
Features:

3.1.5 PHP:
Hypertext Pre-processor (a recursive acronym, originally personal home page)
is a general-purpose scripting language hostel management system project report was
originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this
hostel purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted
by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document.
As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed byan interpreter
application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and
producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a
graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and
as a standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.
Usage:
</body>
</html> PHP is a general-purpose scripting language hostel management system
project report is especially suited to server-sideweb development where PHP generally
runs on a web server. Any PHP code in a requested file is executed by the PHP runtime,
usually to create dynamic web pagecontent. It can also be used for command-line
scripting and client-sideGUIapplications. PHP can be deployed on most web servers,
many operating systems and platforms, and can be used with many relational database

management systems (RDBMS). It is available free of charge, and the PHP Group
provides the complete source code for users to build, customize and extend for their
own use.
Originally designed to create dynamic web pages, PHP now focuses mainly on
server-side scripting, and it is similar to other server-side scripting languages hostel
management system project report provide dynamic content from a web server to a
client, such as Microsoft's Asp.net, Sun Microsystems' Java Server Pages, and
mod_perl. PHP has also attracted the development of many frameworks hostel

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
The release in March 2004 by Macromedia included an SDK, an integrated
development environment (IDE), and a Java EE integration application known as Flex
Data Services. Since Adobe purchased Macromedia in 2005, subsequent releases of
Flex no longer require a license for Flex Data Services, which has become a separate
product rebranded as Lifecycle Data Services.
Adobe Flash Builder offers built-in code editors for MXML and Action Script
and a WYSIWYG editor for modifying MXML applications. Adobe Flash Builder
includes an interactive debugger allowing developers to step through code execution
while inspecting variables and watching expressions. Flex Builder 3 added support for
performanceanalysis. The profiling view displays statistical information about memory
use in addition to function call execution time.

Software Requirement Analysis
4.1 DEFINITION:
System Analysis is the detailed study of the various operations performed by the system
and their relationships within and outside the system. Analysis is the process of
breaking something into its parts so hostel management system project report the whole
may be understood. System analysis is concerned with becoming aware of the problem,
identifying the relevant and most decisional variables, analysing and synthesizing the
various factors and determining an optimal or at least a satisfactory solution. During this
hostel a problem is identified, alternate system solutions are studied and
recommendations are made about committing the resources used to design the system.
4.1.1 CurrentSystem:
Traditional studies on the reliability of software focus on functional failures, and do
not emphasize the time-related behaviour of systems hostel management system project
report can also cause the software to fail. The ability to meet deadlines and time
constraints is critical to embedded systems software (as in automotive or robotic
applications) hostel management system project report mandate response to stimuli
33. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
33
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
within respecified real-time design specifications, and reliability considerations require
a detailed evaluation of the ability of the system to meet this hostel specifications.
4.1.2 Proposedsystem
If there is one area of certain growth in this hostel troubled economic times, it is the
mobile communications sector. And with significant improvements having emerged
over the last few years in vital areas such as data transfer speed, screens and content,
mobile devices are starting to challenge the PC as an Internet access device of choice.
This hostel in turn has raised a key issue in the Mobile Internet space: hostel
management system project report of the optimization of sites for mobile devices and
search engines.
It's all very well delivering a repackaged version of a standard web site to mobile
devices, and most of the presentational challenges this hostel raises have been
addressed one way or another. But the fact remains hostel management system project
report mobile Internet usage diverges from traditional usage in a number of important
ways. The failure of content publishers to understand the implications of this hostel
differences for content can only lead to sub-standard mobile sites hostel management
system project report run the risk of providing irrelevant material and poor usability.
This hostel in turn results in an impoverished mobile Internet experience for users,
which impacts take-up and slows down the whole cycle.
It is clearly very much in the interests of content publishers to optimize their sites not
just for the mobile user, but also the mobile search engine. This hostel is particularly
important when the site contains information of particular relevance to the mobile
sector.
Mobile Searching is different
The first thing developers need to bear in mind is hostel management system project
report there are real differences in the way mobile users tend to search compared with
standard desktop-based searching. For example, there are differences in the type of
content hostel management system project report mobile users tend to seek out. This
hostel content is far more likely to involve an area hostel management system project
34. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
34
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
report fulfills some immediate requirement, such as music or a ringtone, a navigational
query, or an entertainment-related question.
In fact, research has suggested hostel management system project report around 50% of
search queries from mobile phones tend to fall into just seven key categories: the above
three, plus sports, local knowledge, shopping, and reference. Clearly any publisher who
deals in one or more of this hostel kinds of data - probably most of them - needs to
consider the likelihood hostel management system project report a significant
proportion of the site's potential audience could be mobile-based and optimize
accordingly.
Another limiting factor hostel management system project report developers should
consider is the impact of the form factor of a typical mobile device on how it is used.
This hostel can express itself in any number of ways; for example, it is common
knowledge hostel management system project report few users navigate beyond the
first couple of pages of search results for any given query. If they haven't found what
they are looking for by the end of page two they will tend to rephrase the query and start
over.
In a standard desktop search environment, which typically returns ten or so results per
page, this hostel means hostel management system project report while a front page
search ranking is preferable, a top twenty ranking is generally regarded as satisfactory.
On a mobile device with its tiny screen, two pages might only include eight search
results. This hostel puts an additional premium on search engine ranking for which
webmasters need to account.
A third point to consider is hostel management system project report mobile search
queries tend to be extremely short, containing fewer keywords on average than their
desktop-based counterparts. Data provided by Massachusetts-based mobile search
solution provider JumpTap suggests hostel management system project report the
average desktop search contains something between two and three keywords, whereas
less than 15% of all searches carried out from mobile devices contain more than two
35. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
35
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
keywords. The onus is on publishers to take account of this hostel by ensuring their
content is highly focused, relevant, and preferably identifiable by a single keyword.
4.1.3 Feasibility studies:
A feasibility study describes whether or not the proposed system is worthwhile
A short focused study hostel management system project report checks
If the system contributes to organizational objectives.
If the system can be engineered using technology and within budget.
If the system can be integrated with other systems hostel management
system project report are used.
Facts considered in the feasibility analysis were.
Technical Feasibility
Economic Feasibility
Behavioural Feasibility
Technology and system feasibility
The assessment is based on an outline design of system requirements in terms of Input,
Processes, Output, Fields, Programs, and Procedures. This hostel can be quantified in
terms of volumes of data, trends, frequency of updating, etc. in order to estimate
whether the new system will perform adequately or not. Considering our project if is
technically feasible. Mobile based search Engine App using Android which is a latest
idea and the mobile applications here are developed in the Adobe flash builder burrito
which contains all SDK’s of the Android OS and supports android applications. This
hostel software is technically well and high in performance. It has got many features
like buttons, layouts, designs etc.,
Economic feasibility:
Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness
of a new system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to
determine the benefits and savings hostel management system project report are
expected from a candidate system and compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh
costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the system. Considering our
project the android is one of the best operating system in mobile phones used to develop

the applications which runs on the mobile platform, which serves people a good scope
of development in the software field and also it attracts the users. Android mobiles
weigh low cost then i-Phones and other mobile operating system. Low cost easy access
to the internet with search engine App’s and fast fetching results now within your
mobile.
Operationalfeasibility
Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems,
and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it
satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system
development. Proposed system here is being developed in the Adobe Flash Builder
Burrito which is the latest version of Adobe which supports android applications.
Adobe Flash Builder (previously known as Adobe Flex Builder) is an integrated
development environment (IDE) built on the Eclipse platform and speeds development
of rich Internet applications (RIAs) and platform desktop, particularly for the Adobe Flash
platform. Adobe Flash Builder offers built-in code editors for MXML and Action Script
and a WYSIWYG editor for modifying MXML applications. Adobe Flash Builder
includes an interactive debugger allowing developers to step through code execution
while inspecting variables and watching expressions. Flex Builder 3 added support for
performance analysis.

4.2.1 Search Engine:
A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and
FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often
called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other
types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open
directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search
engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.
Crawler Architecture:
38. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
38
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
High-level architecture of a standard Web crawler
A Web crawler is a computer program hostel management system project report
browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner or in an orderly
fashion. Other terms for Web crawlers are ants, automatic indexers, bots, Web spiders,
Web robots, or—especially in the FOAF community—Web scutters.
This hostel process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many sites, in
particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up-to-date data. Web
crawlers are mainly usedto create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by
a search engine hostel management system project report will index the downloaded
pages to provide fast searches. Crawlers can also be used for automating maintenance
tasks on a Web site, such as checking links or validating HTML code.
Focused crawling:
The importance of a page for a crawler can also be expressed as a function of the
similarity of a page to a given query. Web crawlers hostel management system project
report attempt to download pages hostel management system project report are similar
to each other are called focused crawler or topical crawlers. The concepts of topical and
focused crawling were first introduced by Menczer and by Chakrabarti.
The main problem in focused crawling is hostel management system project
report in the context of a Web crawler, we would like to be able to predict the similarity
of the text of a given page to the query before actually downloading the page. A
possible predictor is the anchor text of links; this hostel was the approach taken by
Pinkerton in a crawler developed in the early days of the Web.
39. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
39
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Propose to use the complete content of the pages already visited to infer the
similarity between the driving query and the pages hostel management system project
report have not been visited yet. The performance of a focused crawling depends mostly
on the richness of links in the specific topic being searched, and a focused crawling
usually relies on a general Web search engine for providing starting points.
URL normalization
Crawlers usually perform some type of URL normalization in order to avoid crawling
the same resource more than once. The term URL normalization, also called URL
canonicalization, refers to the process of modifying and standardizing a URL in a
consistent manner. There are several types of normalization hostel management system
project report may be performed including conversion of URLs to lowercase, removal
of "." and ".." segments, and adding trailing slashes to the non-empty path component.
Parallelization policy
A parallel crawler is a crawler hostel management system project report runs
multiple processes in parallel. The goal is to maximize the download rate while
minimizing the overhead from parallelization and to avoid repeated downloads of the
same page. To avoid downloading the same page more than once, the crawling system
requires a policy for assigning the new URLs discovered during the crawling process, as
the same URL can be found by two different crawling processes.
4.3Search Engine Optimization
40. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
40
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a
website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or Un-paid ("organic"
or "algorithmic") search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM)
target paid listings.
In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site
appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search
engine's users. SEO may target
different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search,
news search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This hostel gives a
website web presence.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work,
what people search for, the actual search terms typed into search engines and
which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a
website may involve editing its content and HTML and associated coding to
both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the
indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of
backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.
The initialism "SEO" can refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by
an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of
clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine
optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader
marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML
source code of a site and site content, SEO tactics may be incorporated into
website development and design.

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Mobile search is an evolving branch of information retrieval services hostel
management system project report is centered on the convergence of mobile
platforms and mobile phones and other mobile devices. Web search engine
ability in a mobile form allows users to find mobile content on websites which
are available to mobile devices on mobile networks.
FIG 4.4
As this hostel happens mobile content shows a media shift toward mobile
multimedia. Simply put, mobile search is not just a spatial shift of PC web
search to mobile equipment, but is witnessing more of treelike branching into
specialized segments of mobile broadband and mobile content, both of which
show a fast-paced evolution.
4.4.1 Types of mobile search
Mobile optimized search engines - Most major search engines have implemented a
mobile optimized version of their products hostel management system project report
take into consideration bandwidth and form factor limitations of the mobile platform.
Mobile question and answer services - This hostel services allow a user to text a
question to a central database and receive a reply using text. A usage example would be
a user hostel management system project report wants to know the answer to a very
specific question but is not in front of his/her computer.
Mobile navigation services - This hostel services provide the indexing structure to the
portals provided by mobile operators. They index the content already on the operators'
portal but alsoprovideusers access to mobile specific content hostel management
system project report is available outside the confines of the portal.

ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Mobile directory search - This hostel service is known by different names dependent
on country and operator. It can also be known as 'Find My Nearest' or 'Mobile Yellow
Pages' services. The basics of the services allow users to find local services in the
vicinity of their current location.
Dynamic Mobile Selection Interface Services - A new category of mobile search tool
hostel management system project report is emerging is one in which a pre-selected set
of possible search content is downloaded in advance by a mobile user and then allows
for a final internet search step.

Google Mobile:
It starts out a bit confusing: When you first come to Google Mobile, you find no search
box. Instead, Google pushes apps and a huge number of services. Click “Web” for web
search.
The search results are based on the principle of universal search: You get
images, news, maps and more, depending on your query.
Taptu:
Taptu is not as advanced as Google, but in most cases, it will provide just what you
need. This hostel is a service hostel management system project report is tailored

specifically for touch screens and it does a great job at simplifying web search on touch
phones.
Yahoo! Mobile:
Yahoo! Mobile offers much of the tools Google Mobile does (there is no speech search,
though). In addition, there is a list of hot topics on the front page and easy access to turn
on and off safe search.
Bing Mobile:
Bing Mobile has a smart design which makes searching easy: There are quick links to
directions, maps, weather and movies on the front page. The search results are not
universal (like Google and Taptu), but tabs provide easy access to results in the
categories videos, images and news.
Ask Mobile:
I am generally a big fan of Ask, but Ask Mobile is not too impressive. The front page
has convenient quick links to web, images, news, local and maps & directions. The
search results are easy to navigate.

5.2.6 CONTROL FLOW DIAGRAM
Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and
actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In this hostel system user
first registers/log in but this hostel will be validated by the application. Before display
any profile to the user the application will check the credentials once again. User has to
user the application to send messages to mobile phones. The user has to subscribe for
alerts for receiving alerts from the website (which will be sent from the admin of the
website). Any changes in user data will be processed by the application and finally the
user can
Logout from the page

6.1.1 Back-End code analysis
In the Back-end we have the following modules:
LOGIN:
The admin is the lone user of the back-end login. Once the admin logs in with
the username and password, then the authentication is invoked. If the
authentication is successful then the admin is allowed to proceed to the next
pages.
Admin Login:
DataBase
Enter user name &Pwd
Code:
<?php
session_start(); //For every login a new session will be generated and the session
terminates once the user logs out.
include'../lib/db.php'; //This hostel includes the db file which connects to the
database
$sql="select * from admin where user_name='".$_REQUEST['username']."'AND
password='".$_REQUEST['password']."'";
//This hostel query checks whether the entered username and password are
present in the database table
$result=mysql_query($sql); //Executes the query

$_SESSION['id']=$y[0];//Here we are assigning admin name to the sessionvariable
header("Location:index1.php");//If the username and password is valid the admin is
redirected to the home page
}

ADD:
Once the admin logs in he can add the user details(name, user name, password, school
and class), school details(school name), curriculum details(curriculum name, image and
the school name), class details(class, image, curriculum name), subject details(name,
image, grade), chapter details(chapter name, image, subject id), content details(title,
description, chapter) to the database.
<?php
include("../lib/db.php"); //includes the db file which connects to the database
function add()
{
$sql="insert into users(name, user_name, password, school_id, class_id)
values('".$_POST['name']."','".$_POST['uname']."','".$_POST['pwd']."','".$_POST['se'].
"','".$_POST['class']."')"; //inserts the values into the database table

EDIT:
If any modifications are to be done to the existing data present in the database then
the admin can edit the existing data and update in the database.
<?php
function edit()
{
$query="Update curriculum SET
curr_name='".$_POST['cuname']."',school_id='".$_POST['se']."',image='".$_FILES['im

DELETE
Admin can delete the data from the table in the database based on the
condition given.
<?php include("../lib/db.php"); //includes the db file which connects to
the database
function delete()
{
$sql="delete from subjects where sub_id=".$_REQUEST['id']; //deletes
the data from the table based on the condition given

CHAPTER 7
TESTING
Testing is a process to show the correctness of the program. Testing is needed to show
completeness, t improve the quality of the software and to provide the maintenance aid.
Some testing standards are therefore necessary reduce the testing costs and operation
time. Testing software extends throughout the coding phase and it represents the
ultimate review of configurations, design and coding. Based on the way the software
reacts to this hostel testing, we can decide whether the configuration hostel
management system project report has been built is study or not. All components of an
application are tested, as the failure to do so many results in a series of bugs after the
software is put to use.
7.1 BLACKBOX TESTING
Blackbox testing also called behavioral testing, focuses on the functional requirements
of software. This hostel testing approach enables the software engineer to derive the
input conditions hostel management system project report will fully exercise all
requirements for a program. Blackbox testing attempts to find the errors like
Incorrect or missing functions
Interface errors
Errors in data structures or external database access
Behavior or performance errors
Initialization and termination errors
In Blackbox testing software is exercised over a full range of inputs and outputs are
observed for correctness.
7.2 WHITEBOX TESTING
78. ANDROID OS MOBILEBASED SEARCH ENGINE
78
ST.MARY’S COLLEGE OF ENGG&TECH
Whitebox testing is also called Glassbox testing is a test case design control; structure
of the procedural design to derive test cases using Whitebox testing method, the
software engineer can derive the test cases hostel management system project report
guarantee hostel management system project report all independent paths within the
module have been exercised at least once. Exercise all logic decisions on their true or
false sides. Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational bounds.
Exercise internal data structure to ensure their validity.
7.3SOFTWARE TESTING STRATEGIES
Testing involves
Unit testing
Integration testing
Acceptance testing
The first level of test is unit testing. The purpose of unit testing is to ensure hostel
management system project report each program is fully tested.
The second step is integration testing. In this hostel individual program units or
programs are integrated and tested as a complete system to ensure hostel management
system project report the software requirements are met.
Acceptance Testing involves planning and the execution of various types of tests in
order to demonstrate hostel management system project report the implemented
software system satisfies the requirements. Finally our project meets the requirements
after going through all the levels of testing.
7.4 TESTING THE APPLICATION
Application should be thoroughly tested before releasing it into the market.
Testing will show if the application is delivering the expected results. In this hostel
case we have given some wrong values to the application so hostel management system
project report we can counter the errors produced by the application in such a case. Next
topic is test cases, where 10 test cases are considered and checked if the test results are
positive or not.
