Since The Application Is Developed As A Fat-client Application Where The ...


Since the application is developed as a Fat-Client application where the tiers 1 and 2 are present at the client node within the Web form further justifies the efficient management of the information in the database.

Since the application logic is apparently simple due to the fact that only data transfer is involved in the system, testing of the application is not extensive in nature and hence not discussed as a separate section.
11. Results and Discussion
The main results for the proposed system include the effective deployment of the web form as part of a web page connected to a web server, the completion of the connection between the web services and the SQL Server 2005 Express and finally the effective data transfer from the client page to the database and storage of the information in the table.

The web server is configured as a local host of the computer on which the application was developed. This is done so in order to increase the speed of the development and testing effectiveness of the system. Alongside, the same IP address is used to access the application from other nodes in a network of over 25 computers in order to test the capability of the application to load quickly without any errors. This phase of the testing was completed successfully and hence the front-end web service creation to capture information is completed.
The connection to the database server is verified once the web page is loaded without any errors on the desktop accessed. Hence a separate connection testing is not conducted since the data transfer will justify the establishment of the connection between the database server and the web host.
The data transfer is verified when the send button on the web page is disabled and a message acknowledging the transfer of information appears on the front-end screen. As a final check the information is checked in the table once the data transfer completion is acknowledged in order to verify the consistency and integrity of data transferred.
12. Conclusions and Recommendations for Further Work.
Review of Objectives
Objective 1: To capture the quality related aspects of a website and standardise the mode of capturing the customer opinion on the identified aspects.
The review presented on the critical aspects of website effectiveness in section 9 of the report reveals that the quality related aspects of a website are essential for effective performance. Furthermore a standardised way of capturing the information is also presented in the overview within the section.
Objective 2: To design a client/server application to transfer information from the client computer node that accesses a website to the database server on the rating
related information on the quality aspects identified above.
The client/server application was designed and deployed using Microsoft .Net framework. The discussions presented in Section 10 of the report justify the aforementioned.
