INTRODUCTION
Modernizing Democracy with Technology
Traditional Voting Process Overview:
• Traditional voting involves physical presence
at polling stations.
• Voters manually cast paper ballots.
• Counting and tallying of votes are done
manually.
• Challenges include long queues, 05
Importance of Modernization
• Modernizing the voting process enhances
accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.
• Technology enables remote voting,
overcoming geographical barriers.
• Automation reduces errors and speeds up
result tabulation.
• Ensures inclusivity by accommodating
individuals with disabilities 05
Objectives of the Online Voting System:
• Revolutionize the way elections are
conducted.
• Enhance accessibility and participation
opportunities.
• Ensure transparency, integrity, and security
in the electoral process.
• Address challenges of traditional voting
methods through technological innovation. 05
ABSTRACT

TESTING METHODOLOGIES AND RESULTS
Overview of Testing Methodologies Employed:

• Unit Testing: Testing individual components in

isolation.
• Integration Testing: Ensuring seamless interaction
between components.
• System Testing: Validating overall system
behavior in a simulated environment.
• Security Testing: Assessing vulnerabilities and
ensuring robust security measures.
• User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Evaluating
usability and compliance with user requirements.

08
 Test Cases and
Results:
• Unit Test Cases:
⚬ Example: Testing PHP script for voter authentication.
⚬ Result: Successful authentication with valid credentials, rejection of invalid credentials.
• Integration Test Cases:
⚬ Example: Testing communication between frontend and backend scripts.
⚬ Result: Proper communication and accurate data exchange observed.
• System Test Cases:
⚬ Example: Simulating user scenarios like registration, voting, and result viewing.
⚬ Result: System handles interactions accurately, maintains data integrity.
• Security Test Cases:
⚬ Example: Conducting SQL injection attempts and unauthorized access tests.
⚬ Result: Identified vulnerabilities addressed, system validated against common threats.
• User Acceptance Test Cases:
⚬ Example: Inviting users to interact with the system and provide feedback.
⚬ Result: Positive user feedback, minimal issues reported, satisfaction with performance and functional
