Our team, comprising of four members including myself, designed and implemented an online bookstore project for submission to the university. The project includes a central database that stores various books in stock, such as title, author, and price. It enables customers to browse, purchase, review, and retrieve information about books.

To ensure optimal performance, the application was hosted on two instances, which can be automatically scaled up to four instances to handle heavy traffic. Load balancing was implemented to distribute requests among instances.

We used Bootstrap v5.0 for the frontend and PHP for the backend. The cloud provider used was AWS, while the Amazon RDS was used as the database. We also utilized EC2 instances with Amazon Linux as servers. Additionally, Elastic Load Balancer and AWS Auto Scaling were used to ensure efficient load management.

Furthermore, we conducted manual testing to ensure the features were working correctly. In addition, we tested the APIs using Postman to ensure seamless integration. Show less

Our group of four members, including myself, developed a research project named "NeoApp" as our final year project for the university. The application consists of four primary components: automatic MCQ generation, emotion recognition, a domain-specific chatbot component, and a web-based game. Our target audience includes parents of Ordinary Level students in Sri Lanka, institutions, private teachers, and individual students who can afford the system. We conducted manual testing for the features, and additionally, we tested the APIs with Postman.

The NeoApp system aims to facilitate self-learning of mathematics for students by providing quiz hints and necessary support through the chatbot. It can detect distracted students through the background emotion detection mechanism and lock the portal when students leave the computer. Moreover, quiz questions are automatically generated based on the theories uploaded by the teacher, which saves time. The game component is part of the "play and learn" concept, which helps relieve students' stress.

To develop the system, we used various tools and technologies, such as Bootstrap v5.0 for the frontend, Python 3 for ML components, PHP for authentication functions, ArtyomJs for voice identification, TensorflowJs for emotion identification, NLTK and PKE Tools for quiz generation, and Wade game engine for the HTML5 game. For cloud deployment, we used Heroku and IBM Cloud for Watson Assistant. Show less

Our group project is focused on developing a desktop application that allows a university to efficiently manage timetables. Our team has incorporated a range of features into the application, including the ability to add lecturers, lecture halls, subjects, and student groups. Additionally, the application allows users to designate unavailable times for both lecturers and lecture halls.

To generate a semester timetable, the application considers the availability and unavailability of both lecturers and lecture halls. The application also takes into account the weekly slots required for lectures, tutorials, and lab sessions. Each of these sessions is assigned to the corresponding lecture hall, and the final timetable can be easily downloaded as a PDF document.

In order to ensure the high quality of our application, we performed manual testing on all of its features and automated the JUnit testing for the backend functions.

Overall, our project offers a comprehensive and efficient solution for universities to manage their timetables. Show less

Our group of five members has developed an innovative system called FedzStore, which caters to the real-world need for food inventory management for store owners. Our system assists store owners in managing their food inventory, generating reports, and streamlining the ordering and delivery process for their customers.

Customers can conveniently place their orders through our application, which automatically assigns available delivery drivers for efficient delivery. As our delivery system is cash on delivery, customers are required to pay upon receiving their orders. Additionally, our system allows suppliers to register and submit their offers directly to the store owner. Once the supply requests are accepted, the inventory is automatically updated upon the arrival of the supplies.

As part of our development process for FedzStore, we conducted manual testing on both the functionality and user interface levels of the system. This involved testing various features such as order placement, delivery management, and inventory updates, to ensure that they worked as intended and were user-friendly.

This project was developed as a group project for a real-world customer need, demonstrating our ability to design and implement a solution that addresses practical problems faced by businesses. Show less
