1. INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY

HTML:
HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create web
pages. It is a combination of Hypertext, and Markup language. The Hypertext defines the link
between web pages, and Markup is used to define the text document within tags to structure the
web pages. This language is used to annotate text so that machines can understand and
manipulateit accordingly. HTML is human-readable and uses tags to define what manipulation has
to be doneon the text. This guide will help you understand the workings of HTML and explain it
with examples. The language uses tags to define what manipulation has to be done on the text.
HTMLis a markup language used by the browser to manipulate text, images and other content, in
order to display it in the required format.

HTML is a markup language that loads fast and is also light weighted. Whenever you useyour
browser to contact a server, you will receive a response in the form of HTML and CSS. Manytags
are supported by HTML, making your web page more appealing and recognizable. HTML5 has
recently incorporated new tags and elements to aid in the development of professional-looking
web pages.

HTML is human-readable and uses tags to define what manipulation has to be done on thetext.
This guide will help you understand the workings of HTML and explain it with examples.

Applications of HTML

1. Web pages Development

HTML is famously used for creating web pages on the world wide web. Every web page
contains a set of HTML tags and hyperlinks which are used to connect other pages. Every
page on the internet is written using HTML.

2. Navigating the Internet

Navigating on the internet would have been quite a tedious task without HTML. The
anchor tags of HTML allows us to link pages and navigate easily. Imagine our life without
anchor tags, you would literally have to enter URL everytime. Using anchor tags,you can
also navigate within a webpage.
1
3. Embedding Images and Videos
HTML allows us to embed images and videos with ease and gives us features to adjust
height, position and even rendering type. You can adjust controls, thumbnails, timestamps
and much more for videos. Earlier this was done using Flash and HTML hasmade it easier
with the help of <video> tag.

4. Client-side storage
HTML5 has made client-side storage possible using local Storage and Index due to
whichwe no longer need to reply on Cookies. Both of these tactics have their own set of
rules and characteristics. String-based hash-table storage is provided by local Storage. Its
API isstraightforward, with set Item, get Item, and remove Item functions available to
developers.On the other hand, Index DB is a larger and more capable client-side data
store. With the user’s permission, the Index DB database can be enlarged.

5. Game development

1. Although you cannot create complex high-end video games with HTML
<canvas> element of HTML can be used to make 2D and 3D games using CSS and
JavaScript which can be run on browsers.

2. Data entry support

With the usage of new HTML5 standards in all the latest browsers, developers can simply
add the tags for required fields, text, data format, etc. and get the data. HTML5now has
several new attributes for data-entry and validation purposes.

3. Interacting with Native APIs

With the help of HTML, you can interact with your Operating system. With this feature,
you can easily drag files onto a web page to upload, full-screen a video, and much more.

2
Features OF HTML:
 The learning curve is very easy (easy to modify).
 Creating effective presentations.
 Adding Links wherein we can add references.
 Can display documents on platforms like Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.
 Adding videos, graphics, and audios making it more attractive.
 Case insensitive language.
 HTML is a markup language.
 Image, audio, video can be added to web page.
 It is a platform-independent.
 It is easy to learn and use.

HTML Editor:
 Simple editor: Notepad
 Notepad++
 Atom
 Best editor: Sublime Text

3
CSS:
CSS, or Cascading style sheet language used to describe the presentations of a document
in HTML or XML. It provides a way to control the layout, colors, fonts, and overall look of a
webpage.

CSS, which stands for Cascading style sheets, is a fundamental technology used in web
development to control the presentations and layout of HTML elements on a webpage. While
HTML provides the structure and content of a webpage, CSS is used to define how that should
look, including such as colors, fonts, spacing, and positioning.

What is CSS?

CSS is a stylesheet language that enables developers to apply styles to HTML documents. It allows
you to separate content from design, which can make web development more efficient and
maintainable.

Why Use CSS?

1. Separation of Content and Design: By separating the HTML content from the CSS design, you
can keep your HTML clean and focused on content. This separation allows for easier updates and
maintenance.
2. Consistency: CSS enables you to apply consistent styles across multiple pages or an entire
website, ensuring a unified look and feel.
3. Flexibility and Control: CSS offers a wide range of styling options and layout controls,
allowing you to design complex and responsive layouts.
4. Improved Load Times: By using external CSS files, you can reduce redundancy and improve
webpage load times.

Basic CSS Syntax

CSS syntax consists of selectors and declaration blocks:

Selector: Specifies which HTML elements the style applies to. For example, `p` selects all `<p>`
elements.

4
Declaration Block: Contains one or more declarations inside curly braces {}. Each declaration
consists of a property and a value separated by a colon, and declarations are separated by
semicolons.

Example:
css
selector {
property: value;
}
For instance:
css
h1 {
color: blue;
font-size: 24px;
}

In this example, h1 is the selector, and the declaration block contains two declarations: color: blue;
and font-size: 24 px;

How CSS is Applied

CSS can be applied to HTML in three primary ways:

1. Inline CSS: Styles are applied directly within an HTML element using the style attribute.
html
<p style="color: red; font-size: 20px;">This is a paragraph. </p>

2. Internal CSS: Styles are placed within a <style> element inside the <head> of an HTML
document.
html
<head>
<style>
p{
color: green;
font-size: 18px;
}
</style>

5
 </head>
</html>

3. External CSS: Styles are defined in an external CSS file, which is linked to the HTML document
using the <link> element.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
</html>

In `styles.css`:
css
p{
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
}

By learning CSS, you gain the ability to create well-designed, visually appealing websiteswith
consistent and flexible layouts. Understanding its basic concepts and syntax is the first step
towards mastering CSS and building modern web applications.

14. TESTING

INTRODUCTION
Testing is the major quality control measure used during software development. It is a basic
function to detect errors in the software. During the requirement analysis and design the output
of the document that is usually textual and non-executable after the coding phase the computer
programs are available that can be executed for testing purpose. This implies that testing not
only has to uncover errors introduce during the previous phase. The goal of testing is to uncover
requirement, design, coding errors in the program.
Testing determines whether the system appears to be working according to the specifications.
It is the phase where we try to break the system and we test the system with real case scenarios
at a point.

Level of Testing:

1. Unit Testing:
The unit testing of the source code has to be done for every individual unit of module that
wasdeveloping part of the system and some errors were found for every turn and rectified.
This form of testing was use to check for the behaviour signified the working of the system in
different environment as an independent functional unit.

2. Integration Testing:
From the individual parts to the cohesion of each part to make the system as a whole, there is
need to test the working between the assembled modules of the system. The modules are
integrated to makeup the entire system. The testing process is concerned with finding errors
that result from unanticipated interaction between the sub-system and system component. It is
also concerned with validating the system meets its functional and non-functional requirement.

3. System Testing:
The requirement specification document that is the entire system is to be tested to see
whetherit meets the requirement or not.
