Developmental Framework
 The design model used in this project is the RUP model.
 RUP is a method of managing OO Software Development,
is probably the most widely used process for software
development
 It divides the development process into four distinct phases

10. Advantages of RUP Software Development
 Less time is required for integration as the process
of integration goes on throughout the software
development life cycle.
 This is a complete methodology in itself with an
emphasis on accurate documentation
 It is proactively able to resolve the project risks
associated with the client's evolving requirements
requiring careful change request management
 The development time required is less due to reuse
of components.
 5. There is online training and tutorial available for
this process.

11. Benefits of Rational Unified Process
 Easily resolves risks
 Control changes:
 Flexible patterns:
 Efficient delivery process:
 Supports iterative development

12. Chapter 4
System Analysis & Design
 This chapter will discuss the analysis of all data collected
from the pilot study and the interpretation of the results.
 The data analysis was obtained via the tools provided by
SurveyPlanet.com and the results are interpreted based on
this data.
Requirement Specification
 The system is aimed at reducing a lot of manual work
which is time consuming and tedious.
 The system can provide better security and control over
data by using password protected user profiles.
 Data redundancy can be avoided, information retrieval is
faster

Hardware and Software Requirements
The successful running of any project primarily depends
upon hardware and software used in its compilation.
Hardware Requirements
 Server Configuration, Machine: Intel Core i3 or above
 Clock Speed: 2.5GHz,
 Memory: Minimum 256 MB RAM
 Hard Disk Space: 8 GB
 Display: 14” LED Monitor

17. Software Requirements

MySQL as a Back-end
 Front-end: PHP scripting language, HTML, JavaScript
and CSS
 Web Server: Wamp Server 2.5, USBW Web server and
ooo web hosting
 Adobe Dreamweaver: CS3
 Notepads: Notepad++ and Notepad 2
 Web browser: Inter Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla
Firefox

18. Overview of PHP Technology
 PHP is a programming language for building dynamic,
interactive Web sites.
Overview of HTML Technology
 Is a language used to create hypertext documents that have
hyperlinks embedded in them.

 Is a general purpose prototype based, object oriented
scripting language It is designed to be embedded in
diverse application and systems
Overview of MySQL Technology

with no GUI tools to administer MySQL databases or
manage data

19. System Evaluation:
Software evaluation was conducted to find out the
acceptability of the software.
 Software evaluation was based on Functionality,
Portability, Reliability, Maintainability, Availability,
Performance, and Security
Testing
 Testing is the process of executing a program with the
intention of finding errors

20. Test Objectives
 To identify the features of the system that will be tested.
 To identify and define all the activities necessary to prepare for and
conduct the testing process on the Online Job Portal System.
 To define the pass/fail criteria for each item that will be tested.
 To identify the deliverables of the testing phase.
 To define any suspension criteria and resumption techniques.
 To discuss the test techniques being used to test the Online Job
Portal.
 To prevent defects.
 To make sure that the end result meets the business and user
requirements.

21. Testing Process
Testing is a process rather than a single activity. This process
starts from
 test planning then designing test cases, preparing for
execution and evaluating status till the test closure.
Testing Techniques
 These are the Validation activities. Unit Tests, Integration
Tests, System Tests and Acceptance Tests are few of the
Dynamic Testing methodologies
Software can be tested in two ways, in another words, one
can distinguish two different methods:
 White box testing
 Black box testing

22. Future Improvement
In terms of enhancement of the software, the resume
and job advertisements could have more fields so that
more details about the job could be added
 Multiple user interfaces

 Oracle for database
 Live chat messenger, where the employers and
candidates can communicate with each other
 Uploading profile picture

This project was intended to help tackle the unemployment
issues among the youth in Nigerian by means of providing an
Online Recruitment Portal. The findings from the pilot study
show that there is a demand for such a system to be
implemented in Nigerian.
