Software Development and Testing Methodologies
System Testing
System testing is a type of software testing where the entire integrated system is tested to evaluate its compliance with the specified requirements. It involves verifying both the functional and non-functional aspects of the system. The goal of system testing is to ensure that the software works as intended in a complete environment. The two key phases of system testing are:
Functional Testing Phase
This phase focuses on testing the functional aspects of the system, ensuring that the

Structured Systems Design Model
It is the process of deciding which components, and interconnection between them, are needed to solve a well-specified problem.
Data Design
Transforms the information field model, created during analysis, into data structures that will be required to implement the software.
Structural Design
Defines the relationships between the main structural elements of the program. The main objective of structural design is to develop a modular program structure and represent the control

Strengths of Java for Network Programming
- Platform Independence: Runs on any OS without modification.
- Rich Libraries: java.net supports networking tasks easily.
- Multithreading: Handles multiple clients efficiently.
- Security: Inbuilt features like SSL/TLS for secure communication.
- Automatic Memory Management: Reduces memory leak risks.
Weaknesses of Java
- Performance: Slower due to JVM overhead.
- Low-Level Control: Less flexibility for low-level network tasks.
- Memory Usage: High

Database Management Systems
Introduction
Data storage requires defining two key features: Logical Design (user-level design, how users view and manage data) and Physical Design (implementation-level design, how data is stored on disks). Two primary types of physical design exist: data files and databases.
Database Concepts
Database (DB)
A collection or integrated data warehouse stored on secondary storage with controlled redundancy. Data should remain independent of applications and support a data model

Password Security and Data Breaches
Yes. Recall that some passwords are much more popular than others. For example, the password “123456” is used by at least 0.1% of all accounts. Thus, if you hash such passwords and they appear disproportionately in the list then you might infer that the list is not hashed. Similarly, even without doing a hash, if you sort the hashes by frequency, in an unsalted list you will expect that there is some hash that occurs with frequency ~ 0.1%, whereas in a salted list
