2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY
The feasibility study is one of the most important steps at early stage of the project
development. This stage requires the large amount of effort. To understand the main
aspects of the system answer to the question “Is the project feasible?” In this stage the
possibilities of project development is identified by conducting technical, economical and
operational feasibility of the proposed system.
We gave presentation of proposed system to Project Manager, Project Leader and other
senior authorities with purpose of getting feedback and suggestions that helped us in
refining the requirements for different modules.
2.1.1 Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility corresponds to determination of whether it is technically feasible to
develop the software. It refers to the ability of the process to take advantage of the current
state of the technology in pursuing further improvement. The technical capability of the
available technology should be considered.
The following technical feasibility areas were probed during the feasibility study phase:
 The necessary technology i.e. front-end development tools, back-end database
technology for developing the system are already available within the organization.
 The front-end tool proposed in easily compatible with the current hardware
configuration in the organization.
 The back-end tool proposed has the capacity to hold the data required for using the
new system.
 The System is expandable in many dimensions with respect to addition of more
functionality, featured, etc.
 The front-end and back-end technologies provide a way to preserve the accuracy,
reliability and ease of access and data security.

2.1.2 Time Scheduling Feasibility
Each task to be scheduled must be allocated some number of work units. In our system, e
noted start date and completion date in activity charts as well as we also noted the working
days in our chart. Project Guide is also having Knowledge of both tools as well as GIS so
technically it is feasible to complete project within time.
2.1.3 Operational Feasibility
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned into information system that will meet
the organization’s operating requirements. The following areas declare the proposed project as
operationally feasible.
 There is sufficient support from the management and from the intended users of the
system.
 As it backbone developing for all the modules it was necessary that all other people
developing other modules agree and due to their support it is operationally feasible.
2.2 LIMITATIONS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEMS
There are current chat application is available in text base, audio base, and video base
chatting. And there have an following limitation shown in bellow.
 It is only text base chatting.
 Only use to send and receive text.
 It is only one to one chatting are available and some case group chat are available.
 User can show only other user basic information.
 User can communicate and share information but not set it personal
environment.
2.3 SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS
Virtual place Chat is a browser based 'Virtual World' where users can design their own

2.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS
 User must need internet connection.
 User cannot allow more than 25 people in their personal room.
 Users can not audio and video chat.
2.5 USE CASES
The Use Case diagram models the user’s expectation for using the system. The people and
systems that interact with the target system are called actors. The features of the system
that the actors use are called use cases. Some use cases interact with other use cases, a
relationship modeled using dependency arrows. The goal of the Use Case diagram is to
identify all the features that the clients expect the system to support, but it does not reveal
any details about the implementation of these features. Use Case diagrams are valuable
because they
 Identify the clients' expectations for the system.
 Identify specific features of the system.
 Identify shared behavior among system features.
 Provide a simple and easily understood way for clients to view their requirements.

3. DESIGN
3.1. ACTIVITY DIAGRAM
The Activity diagram models logic-any logic-from work flow to use cases to methods. It
borrows most of its notation from flowcharts, but has added the concept of concurrency to
support many modern applications. Activity diagrams are valuable because they
 Represent the logic required to implement system.
 Behaviors
 Represent logic at any level the design needs, from system
 Workflow to individual method implementations.
 Are simple enough to learn quickly
 Are relatively familiar to users since they are often used in
 Business training and procedures manuals

3.2. SEQUENCE DIAGRAM
The sequence diagram is used primarily to show the interactions between objects in the
sequential order that those interactions occur. Much like the class diagram, developers
typically think sequence diagrams were meant exclusively for them. However, an
organization's business staff can find sequence diagrams useful to communicate how the
business currently works by showing how various business objects interact. Besides
documenting an organization's current affairs, a business-level sequence diagram can be
used as a requirements document to communicate requirements for a future system
implementation. During the requirements phase of a project, analysts can take use cases to
the next level by providing a more formal level of refinement. When that occurs, use cases
are often refined into one or more sequence diagrams.
An organization's technical staff can find sequence diagrams useful in documenting how a
future system should behave. During the design phase, architects and developers can use
the diagram to force out the system's object interactions, thus fleshing out overall system
design. One of the primary uses of sequence diagrams is in the transition from
requirements expressed as use cases to the next and more formal level of refinement. Use
cases are often refined into one or more sequence diagrams. In addition to their use in
designing new systems, sequence diagrams can be used to document how objects in an
existing (call it "legacy") system currently interact. This documentation is very useful when
transitioning a system to another person or organization.

3.3. DATA DICTIONARY (RELATIONAL MODEL)
In database management systems a file that defines the basic organization of a database. A
data dictionary contains a list of all files in the database, the number of records in each file,
and the names and types of each field. Most database management systems keep the data
dictionary hidden from users to prevent them from accidentally destroying its contents.
Data dictionaries do not contain any actual data from the database, only book keeping
information for managing it. Without a data dictionary, however, a database management
system cannot access data from the database.
Following are the database tables with the fieldnames, data types, length, key field, and
description.

4.2. TEST CASES
4.2.1 Testing Plan
“Errors are more common, more pervasive and more troublesome in software than with
other technologies”
Software testing is the process used to help identify the correctness, completeness, security
and quality of developed computer software. With that in mind, testing can never
completely establish the correctness of arbitrary computer software. In computability
theory, a field of computer science, an elegant mathematical proof concludes that it is
impossible to solve the halting problem, the question of whether an arbitrary computer
program will enter an infinite loop, or halt and procedure output. In other words, testing is
criticism or comparison that is comparing the actual value with an expected one.
There are many approaches to software testing, but effective testing of complex products is
essentially a process of investigation, not merely a matter of investigation, not merely a
matter of creating and following rote procedure. One definition of testing is “The process of
questioning a product in order to evaluate it”, where the "questions" are things the tester
tries to do with the product, and the product answers with its behaviour in reaction to the
probing of the tester. Although most of the intellectual processes of testing are nearly
identical to that of review or inspection, the word testing is connoted to mean the dynamic
analysis of the product—putting the product through its paces.
Analyze and check system representations such as the requirements document, design
diagrams and the program source code. They may be applied at all stages of the process.

Virtual Place Chat
56
Figure 27 Testing
4.2.1 Testing Strategy
There are three types of testing that we implement. They are as follows:
 Unit Testing
- Software products are normally tested first at the individual component
(unit) level. Unit testing (or module testing) is the testing of different units
(or modules) of a system in isolation.
 Integration Testing
- After testing all the components individually the components are slowly
integrated and tested at each level of integration. That is called integration
testing.
 System Testing
- Finally the fully integrated system is tested that is called system testing.
4.2.2 Testing Methods
Software Testing involves executing an implementation of the software with test data and
examining the outputs of the software and its operational 56ehavior to check that it is
performing as required.

4.2.2.1 Statistical Testing
Statistical Testing is used to test the program’s performance and reliability and to check
how it works under operational conditions. Tests are designed to reflect the actual user
inputs and their frequency.
The stages involved in the static analysis for this system are follows.
 Control flow analysis
- Unreachable code
- Unconditional branches into loops
 Data use analysis
- Variable used before initialization
- Variables declared but never used
- Variables assigned twice but never used between assignments
- Possible array bound violations
- Declared variables
 Interface analysis
- Parameter type mismatches
- Parameter number mismatches
- Non-usage of the results of functions
- Uncalled functions and procedures
4.2.2.2 Defect Testing
Defect Testing is intended to find inconsistencies between a program and its specification.
These inconsistencies are usually due to the program faults or defects.
Black-box Testing
In Black-Box Testing or Functional Testing, Developer are concerned about the output of
the module and software, i.e. whether the software gives proper output as per the
requirements or not. In another words , these testing aims to test a program's behavior
against it specification without making any reference to the internal structure of the
program or the algorithms used. Therefore the source code is not needed, and so even

Virtual Place Chat
58
purchased modules can be tested. The program just gets a certain input and its
functionality is examined by observing the output. This can be done in the following way:
 Input Interface
 Processing
 Output Interface
The tested program gets certain inputs. Then the program does its job and generates a
certain output, which is collected by a second interface. This result is then compared to the
expected output, which has been determined before the test.
White Box Testing
White Box testing is used as an important primary testing approach. Here code is inspected
to see what it does , tests are designed to exercise the code. Code is tested using code
scripts, driver, etc which are employed to directly interface with and drive the code. The
tester can analyze the code and use the knowledge about the structure of a component to
derive the test data.
4.2.2.3 Structural Testing
Developer has done path testing to exercise every independent execution path through a
component or program. If every independent path is executed then all statements in the
components must have been executed at least once. The structure of our program is also
checked.
4.3. PROPOSED EXTENSIONS (FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS)
Virtual place chat is browser base chatting system. In the feature we want to add audio and
video chat. Add some new product in shop like mobile and computer.

5. CONCLUSION
No project can be termed as ‘perfect’ in real sense and there always remains scope for
future improvement and so that helps to develop a new version of the software. We are
always eager to know some new points and validation related to projects which give us
more knowledge and help us to create new version.
The “Virtual place chat” website has been developed by me and also done enhancement in
application through applying our knowledge gained in class room, referring to certain
books, browsing some sites and through the help of external and internal faculties and
using our knowledge related to subject it.
I am very thankful to the project guide and organization staffs that extended all their
support and helped us complete this project successfully.
5.2 DISCUSSION
5.2.1 Self analysis of project viabilities
Given project “Virtual place chat” is mainly developed for only chatting purpose. Now
after developing this system it provide new way of chatting.
5.2.2 Problem encountered and possible solutions
The main problem occurred when we tried to run this project on system containing any
other browser other than Internet Explorer.
The possible solution is to make this system browser compatible.
The another problem which we faced was that work all the features without refresh.
5.2.3 Summary of project work
At the end of this report we would like to conclude that we have successfully implemented
“Virtual place chat” which have many new functionalities and which overcome come the
difficulties of keeping the records in book manually.

ABOUT THE TOOL
INTRODUCTION OF PHP
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language originally designed for web development to
produce dynamic web pages. For this 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.
It can be used in standalone graphical applications. PHP can be deployed on most web
servers and as a standalone interpreter, on almost every operating system and platform
free of charge.
A competitor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine and similar
languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.
Why use PHP?
The software development industry has sustained an unrelenting growth since its initiation
and now in this age of cut-throat competition among web developing firms, sustaining the
usability of a single application developing language had become an easier said than done.
The market is experiencing an inundation of newer technologies and programming
languages. If one looks from this perspective, the survival and popularity of Hypertext Pre-
processor (PHP), is a matter worth looking into.
PHP is widely used widely for developing websites due to certain advantages it offers.
Easily handle Dynamic Websites
Gone are the days when static websites were used where a web page exhibited fixed
brochure-style data that could be edited only by the webmaster. But PHP could offer
dynamic websites in which a user could access content from a database through an HTML

Virtual Place Chat
61
page that is generated in real time. So PHP can develop sites that meet the requirements of
large business establishments.
Complexity is reduced
Complexity in developing an application with PHP is comparatively less because it does not
need a framework to develop an application and the required codes is also less in number.
That is why it is more user-friendly than ASP.NET, C++ or Python.
Supported by most
PHP has high integrative power too. It is user friendly with most servers and windows.
Operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Mac are fine with PHP. Also a number of
databases like Oracle, MySql and MS Access can be well managed by PHP enabled websites.
Cost Effective
Its cost effectiveness has made it beginners’ choicer, because on the one hand it is open
source language anyone can obtain it from Internet for free and learn it irrespective of
whatever background he hails from. It is so easy that even a web developing firm can train
their new recruits on this language.
INTRODUCTION OF JAVA SCRIPT
JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as
part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the
user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content
that is displayed. It is also being used in server-side programming, game development and
the creation of desktop and mobile applications.
JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and has first-class
functions. Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many names and naming
conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very
different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the self and

Virtual Place Chat
62
Scheme programming languages. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-
oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
The application of JavaScript in use outside of web pages for example, in PDF documents,
site-specific browsers, and desktop widgets is also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript
VMs and platforms built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of
JavaScript for server-side web applications. On the client side, JavaScript was traditionally
implemented as an interpreted language but just-in-time compilation is now performed by
recent (post-2012) browsers.
JavaScript was formalized in the ECMA Script language standard and is primarily used as
part of a web browser (client-side JavaScript). This enables programmatic access to
computational objects within a host environment.
INTRODUCTION OF CSS
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and
formatting of a document written in a markup language. While most often used to style
web pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any
kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a cornerstone
specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style sheets to describe their
presentation.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and
formatting of a document written in a mark up language. While most often used to style
web pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any
kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a cornerstone
specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style sheets to describe their
presentation.

Virtual Place Chat
63
CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document
presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can
improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of
presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce
complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for table less web
design).
CSS can also allow the same mark up page to be presented in different styles for different
rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based
browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow
the web page to display differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is
being viewed. While the author of a document typically links that document to a CSS file,
readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the
one the author has specified. However if the author or the reader did not link the document
to a specific style sheet the default style of the browser will be applied.
CSS specifies a priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule
matches against a particular element. In this so-called cascade, priorities or weights are
calculated and assigned to rules, so that the results are predictable.
The CSS specifications are maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Internet
media type (MIME type) text/css is registered for use with CSS by RFC 2318 (March 1998),
and they also operate a free CSS validation service.

INTRODUCTION OF AJAX
Ajax (also AJAX an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of
interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous
Web applications. With Ajax, Web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a
server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and
behavior of the existing page. Data can be retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object.
Despite the name, the use of XML is not required; JSON is often used instead (see AJAJ), and
the requests do not need to be asynchronous.
Ajax is not a single technology, but a group of technologies. HTML and CSS can be used in
combination to mark up and style information. The DOM is accessed with JavaScript to
dynamically display, and allow the user to interact with, the information presented.
JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data
asynchronously between browser and server to avoid full page reloads.
INTRODUCTION OF HTML
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create
web pages.
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets
(like <html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although
some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag
in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags
and closing tags).
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visible
or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to
interpret the content of the page. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically

Virtual Place Chat
65
along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language rather than a programming
language.
HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects
to be embedded and can be used to create 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 written in languages
such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web pages.
Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the look and layout
of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards,
encourages the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML.
HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content for the World
Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML
standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML 4 as of 1997) and, as of December
2012, is a candidate recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Its core
aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while
keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and
devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but
also XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML.
Following its immediate predecessors HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a response to
the fact that the HTML and XHTML in common use on the World Wide Web are a mixture of
features introduced by various specifications, along with those introduced by software
products such as web browsers, those established by common practice, and the many
syntax errors in existing web documents. It is also an attempt to define a single markup
language that can be written in either HTML or XHTML syntax. It includes detailed
processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends, improves
and rationalizes the mark up available for documents, and introduces mark up and
application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web applications. For the same

Virtual Place Chat
66
reasons, HTML5 is also a potential candidate for cross-platform mobile applications. Many
features of HTML5 have been built with the consideration of being able to run on low-
powered devices such as smart phones and tablets. In December 2011, research firm
Strategy Analytics forecast sales of HTML5 compatible phones would top 1 billion in 2013.
In particular, HTML5 adds many new syntactic features. These include the new <video>,
<audio> and <canvas> elements, as well as the integration of scalable vector graphics (SVG)
content (that replaces the uses of generic <object> tags) and MathML for mathematical
formulas. These features are designed to make it easy to include and handle multimedia
and graphical content on the web without having to resort to proprietary plugging and
APIs. Other new elements, such as <section>, <article>, <header> and <nav>, are designed
to enrich the semantic content of documents. New attributes have been introduced for the
same purpose, while some elements and attributes have been removed. Some elements,
such as <a>, <cite> and <menu> have been changed, redefined or standardized. The APIs
and Document Object Model (DOM) are no longer afterthoughts, but are fundamental parts
of the HTML5 specification. HTML5 also defines in some detail the required processing for
invalid documents so that syntax errors will be treated uniformly by all conforming
browsers and other user agents.

APPENDIX A
PROJECT PLANNING
Project Planning includes project plan activities and project development approach
followed during the making of project. It also entails the details of different milestones
achieved and roles and responsibilities assigned to us.
Project Plan
Planning before any activity is very much important. And if it is planned nicely, then
success is guaranteed. Community Forum has 3 major modules of Administration,
Moderation and User Interaction. We analyzed the overall complexity of each of these
modules and it was found that the project would require approximately 16 weeks to
complete, so we planned accordingly.
We decided to follow the SDLC i.e. Software Development Life Cycle while planning various
phases of our project. This method consists of following activities:
1. Preliminary Investigation
2. Determination of system requirements
3. System Analysis
4. Design of system
5. Development of software
6. Systems Testing
7. Implementation and Evaluation
The first we have done analysis of the system what are the requirement of the market and
what is the market value for this system and how it will be help full to the user. First three
weeks we have learn PHP concepts. Mean while primary investigation is going on. Then for
requirement gathering and system analysis process we gave around two week. For
designing of system, we gave two weeks. Then coding was a more time-consuming process,

Virtual Place Chat
68
so I gave around eight weeks for coding part. For testing we gave around two weeks, which
was sufficient for our system. More or less, during our project work we followed this
planning.
MILESTONES AND DELIVERABLES
Management needs information. As software is intangible, this information can only be
provided as documents that describe the state of the software being developed. When
planning a project series of milestones are established.
Milestones
 Milestone is an end-point of the software process activity.
 At each milestone there should be formal output that can be represented to the
management.
 Milestone output need not be large document; they are the short output of
achievements in software project activity.
Deliverables
 Deliverable is a project report that is delivered to the customer.
 Deliverables are delivered to the customer at the end of some major project phase
such as specification, design, etc.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is a central part of any organization’s strategic management. It is the
process whereby organizations methodically address the risks attaching to their activities
with the goal of achieving sustained benefit within each activity.
Project Risk Management involves conducting risk management planning, engaging in risk
identification, completing risk analysis, creating a risk response action plan, and
monitoring and controlling risk on a project.
Project Risk Management is a continuous process to be engaged in throughout the entire
project. A key point to remember is that risk is not always bad. There are opportunities and
there are threats. The opportunities are the good risks. The threats are the bad risks.

Virtual Place Chat
69
The purpose of project risk management is to increase the likelihood and impact of positive
events and to decrease the probability and impact of negative events.
Risk Identification
Risk Identification is a systematic attempt to specify threats to the project plan. By
identifying the known and predictable risks, the project manager takes a first step towards
avoiding them when possible and controlling them when necessary.
One method of identifying risks is to create a risk item checklist. The checklist can be used
for risk identification and focuses on some subset of known and predictable risks in the
following subcategories.
Risk Analysis
Regardless of the prevention techniques employed, possible threats that could arise inside
or outside the organization need to be assessed.
Although the exact nature of potential disasters or their resulting consequences are
difficult to determine, it is beneficial to perform a comprehensive risk assessment of all
threats that can realistically occur to the organization.
ESTIMATION
The estimation of various project parameters is a basic project planning activity. The
important project parameters that are estimated include: project size, effort required to
develop the software, project duration and cost. The estimates not only help in quoting the
