1.1 Project Definition
An online voting system is a platform that enables individuals to cast their votes
electronically via the internet, rather than using traditional paper ballots. This type of
system typically requires users to have a secure login, after which they can select their
preferred candidates or choices and submit their vote electronically.
1.2 Project Description
An online voting system is a software-based platform designed to enable people to cast

their votes electronically via the internet. This can be done from any device with an
internet connection, such as a computer, tablet or smartphone.
To use an online voting system, voters typically need to first register and create an
account on the platform. This involves providing personal information, such as their
name, address, and identification details, to verify their eligibility to vote. Once their
account is created, they can log in to the system and access the ballot.
The ballot is designed to replicate the traditional paper-based ballot, allowing voters to
select their preferred candidates or choices.
Online voting systems are designed with security and privacy in mind. Measures such
as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and digital signatures are often used to
ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process.

3.1 Use Case Scenarios
Online voting systems can be used in various contexts, including political elections,
organizational or association voting, and public opinion surveys. Here's an example
scenario for an online voting system:
Scenario: A local community organization is holding an election for a new board of

directors. The organization has members from different parts of the community, and
some members cannot attend the in-person voting due to scheduling conflicts or distance.
To ensure maximum participation, the organization decides to use an online voting
system.
The online voting system allows members to log in to a secure website, verify their

Testing 2022 - 2023
Chapter 5 - Testing
5.1 Test Strategy
The test strategy for an online voting system should ensure the system is secure, reliable, and
accurate. Here are some key considerations to guide the testing process:
Security Testing: Security is of utmost importance when it comes to an online voting system.
Testing should be carried out to identify any vulnerabilities in the system that could be exploited
by hackers or malicious actors. Testing should include penetration testing, vulnerability
scanning, and network security testing.
Usability Testing: Usability testing should be carried out to ensure that the system is easy to use
and understand for voters. The testing should be carried out on a representative sample of users
to get an accurate idea of how the system performs in real-world situations.
Performance Testing: Performance testing should be carried out to ensure that the system can
handle the expected load. Testing should include load testing, stress testing, and scalability
testing to ensure that the system can handle a large number of users without crashing.
Functionality Testing: Functionality testing should be carried out to ensure that the system
functions as expected. Testing should include verifying that voters can register, cast their vote,
and view their results. Testing should also ensure that the system is accessible to all users,
including those with disabilities.
Compatibility Testing: Compatibility testing should be carried out to ensure that the system
works correctly across different platforms, browsers, and devices. Testing should include
verifying that the system works on both desktop and mobile devices.
Reliability Testing: Reliability testing should be carried out to ensure that the system operates

vote from their mobile devices. This can increase voter turnout and make the process
more convenient.
 Improved Security Features: The system's security features can be improved to ensure
that the system is secure from cyber threats and other types of fraud.
 Voter Education: Voter education can be provided through the online voting system to
help voters understand the process better and reduce the likelihood of errors or confusion.
 Accessibility Features: Additional accessibility features can be added to the system,
such as text-to-speech and high contrast modes, to make the system more accessible to
users with disabilities.
 Feedback Mechanisms: Feedback mechanisms can be added to the system to allow
users to report any issues or provide feedback to improve the system.
These enhancements can help improve the security, accessibility, and usability of the online
