3.4. Design Flow

Design flow is a process that outlines the steps involved in designing and developing
a software application, such as a Netflix clone web application built using React.js,
HTML, and CSS. The design flow involves a series of stages that are followed in a
sequential order, from the initial conception of the project to the final deployment.
The design flow includes various stages such as gathering the requirements, designing
the architecture, creating wireframes and mockups, developing the software, testing,
and deployment. The goal of the design flow is to ensure that the final product meets
the needs of the end-users and is delivered on time and within the budget.

Here are two alternative designs/processes/flows to complete the project:

Design Flow 1:

1. Requirements Gathering: In this stage, the requirements for the Netflix clone web
application are collected and documented. This stage includes analyzing the
business goals, identifying user needs, and defining the features and functionalities.

2. Design and Wireframing: In this stage, the UI/UX designers create a wireframe
design of the application that includes the layout, content, and navigation.

3. Front-end Development: In this stage, the developers use React.js, HTML, and
CSS to create the front-end of the application. This includes implementing the UI
design, integrating APIs, and adding functionalities.

4. Back-end Development: In this stage, the developers create the back-end of the
application using technologies like Node.js and MongoDB. This includes creating
the database schema, implementing the server-side logic, and adding security
features.

5. Testing: In this stage, the application is tested to ensure that it meets the
requirements, is user-friendly, and operates correctly. This includes testing the
functionality, usability, performance, and security of the application.

6. Deployment: In this stage, the application is deployed on the chosen hosting

platform, and any necessary configurations are made.
Design Flow 2:

1) Rapid Prototyping: In this stage, a basic prototype of the Netflix clone web
application is created to test the feasibility of the project. This includes creating a
simple UI design and adding basic functionalities.

2) Continuous Feedback and Iteration: In this stage, the prototype is tested with
users, and feedback is collected to improve the application's design and
functionality. The development team continuously iterates on the design and
functionality based on the feedback received.

3) Agile Development: In this stage, the development team uses Agile methodology
to create and develop the application in sprints. The development team works
closely with the project stakeholders to ensure that the application meets the
requirements and is delivered on time.

4) Continuous Integration and Delivery: In this stage, the development team uses

deployment of the application. This helps to speed up the development process and
ensures that the application is tested and deployed in a timely and efficient manner.

5) Final Testing and Deployment: In this stage, the final version of the application
is tested thoroughly, and any necessary changes are made. Once the application is
deemed ready for production, it is deployed on the chosen hosting platform.

Design Flow 3 (Unorthodox way):

 Agile methodology is an alternative approach to the traditional design flow, which

emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and adaptability.
 Agile methodology involves breaking the development process into small,
manageable chunks called sprints.
 In an Agile approach to designing a Netflix clone web application, the
development team would work closely with the client or stakeholders to define
the initial requirements.
 The team would then prioritize features based on their importance and feasibility,
and work on them in short sprints.
 After each sprint, the team would assess the progress made and refine the project
goals and requirements as necessary.
 This approach allows for more flexibility and adaptability throughout the design
process, as the team can quickly pivot if requirements change or unexpected
issues arise.
 Agile methodology is also useful in promoting collaboration and communication
within the development team, as well as with clients or stakeholders.
 However, Agile methodology may not be suitable for all projects, as it requires a
high level of involvement and participation from all team members and
stakeholders.
 It is important to carefully evaluate the project requirements and constraints
before deciding on an approach to the design flow.

Overall, there are multiple design flows that can be used to complete a Netflix clone
web application project. By carefully considering the requirements and constraints of
the project, developers can select the most appropriate design flow that best suits
their needs.

Software Testing

Once source code has been generated, software must be tested to uncover as many
errors as possible before delivery. It is very important to work the system successfully
and achieve high quality of software. Testing include designing a series of test cases
that have a high likelihood of finding errors by applying software-testing techniques.
System testing makes logical assumptions that if all the parts of the system are correct,
the goal will be successfully achieved. The system should be checked logically.
Validations and cross checks should be there. Avoid duplications of record that cause
redundancy of data. In other Words, Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its
component(s) with the intent to find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or
not. It is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing
requirements in contrary to the actual requirements.

The preliminary goal of implementation is to write source code and internal

documentation so that conformance of the code to its specifications can be easily
verified, and so that debugging, testing and modifications are eased. This goal can be
achieved by making the source code as clear and straightforward as possible.
Simplicity, clarity and elegance are the hallmark of good programs, obscurity,
cleverness, and complexity are indications of inadequate design and misdirected
thinking. Source code clarity is enhanced by structured coding techniques, by good
coding style, by, appropriate supporting documents, by good internal comments,and
by feature provided in modern programming languages.

The implementation team should be provided with a well-defined set of software

requirement, an architectural design specification, and a detailed design description.
Each team member must understand the objectives of implementation.
TYPES OF TESTING

a. Unit Testing The term unit testing comprises the sets of tests performed by an
individual programmer prior to integration of the unit into a larger system. program
unit is usually small enough that the programmer who developed it can test it in great
detail, and certainly in greater detail than will be possible when the unit is integrated
into an evolving software product. In the unit testing the programs are tested
separately, independent of each other. Since the check is done at the program level, it
is also called program teasing.

b. Module Testing A module and encapsulates related component. So can be tested

without other system module.

c. Subsystem Testing Subsystem testing may be independently design and

implemented common problems are sub-system interface mistake in this checking we
concenton it. There are four categories of tests that a programmer will typically
perform on a program unit.
i Functional test
ii Performance test
iii Stress test
iv Structure test Functional Test

i Functional test cases involve exercising the code with Nominal input values for
which expected results are known; as well as boundary values (minimum values,
maximum values and values on and just outside the functional boundaries) and
special values.

ii Performance Test Performance testing determines the amount of execution time

spent in various parts of the unit, program throughput, response time, and device
utilization by the program unit. A certain amount of avoid expending too much
effort on fine-tuning of a program unit that contributes little to the overall
performance of the entire system. Performance testing is most productive at the
subsystem and system levels.
iii Stress Test Stress test are those designed to intentionally break the unit. A great
deal can be learned about the strengths and limitations of a program by examining
the manner in which a program unit breaks.

iv Structure Test Structure tests are concerned with exercising the internal logic of a
program and traversing particular execution paths. Some authors refer collectively
to functional performance and stress testing as “black box” testing. While structure
testing is referred to as “white box” or “glass box” testing. The major activities in
structural testing are deciding which path to exercise, deriving test date to exercise
those paths, determining the test coverage criterion to be used, executing the test,
and measuring the test coverage achieved when the test cases are exercised.
