ABSTRACT

Web-based Surveys: Changing the Survey Process by Holly Gunn Web based surveys are
having a profound influence on the survey process. Unlike other types of surveys, Web page
design skills and computer programming expertise play a significant role in the design of Web-
based surveys. Survey respondents face new and different challenges in completing a Web-based
survey. Web-based surveys are having a profound influence on survey methodology. "The Internet
has truly democratized the survey-taking process". Survey professionals and large organizations
are no longer the only people conducting surveys on the Web. Software, capable of producing
survey forms, is available to the public at an affordable cost, enabling anyone with a Web site to
conduct a survey without a lot of difficulty. For that reason, the range and the quality of Web-based
surveys vary considerably. Web-based surveys are everywhere on the Internet. Couper (2000)
stated that there is speculation Web surveys will replace traditional methods of data collection.
Data that had once been collected by other survey modes is now being collected with Web surveys
(Dillman and Bowker, 2001). An informal search for Web-based surveys on Yahoo! by Solomon
(2001) revealed over 2,000 Web-based surveys in 59 different categories. Not all of these were
serious surveys. Surveys on the Web run the gamut from entertainment questionnaires to those
with a probability-based design

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Design in Web surveys is of greater importance than in other modes of surveying because
of the visual emphasis of the Web and the way the survey appears in different browsers and on
different computer screens and the audience and the purpose of the survey should affect the design,
and that the design of a Web-based survey for teenagers and one for seniors might be designed
quite differently. "The notion of a one-size-fits-all approach to Web survey design is premature "
Pretest questions before they go online;
o Write an introduction for the survey which will bring cooperation from participants;
o Use filtering questions and have questionnaires appropriate for filtered groups;
o Divide long surveys into sections;
o Use open-ended questions sparingly; and,
o Use incentives to get people to respond.

The textual language of surveys includes the wording of the questions and the instructions
in the responses included font size, font type, color, layout, symbols, images, animation, and other
graphics as components of visual language. Although C language is intended to add meaning and
supplement the written language, observed that it could actually draw attention away from text and
alter the meaning of words.There are three different types of visual languages:
o Graphic language,

o Symbolic language,

o Numeric language.

These languages are the auxiliary languages of questionnaires. Graphic language,

consisting of fonts, font sizes and variations (bold, italics,) borders, and tables, helps respondents
move their eyes across the page and comprehend the questionnaire. Symbolic language is
sometimes used in questionnaires when arrows or other symbols are employed to help guide the
respondent through the survey questions. Numeric language is used in questionnaires in numbering
questions, and sometimes in numbering response items.

1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT

This paper examines the different types of Web-based surveys, the advantages and
challenges of using Web-based surveys, the design of Web-based surveys, and the issues of
validity, error, and non-response in this type of survey. The author also discusses the importance of
auxiliary languages (graphic, symbolic and numeric languages) in Web surveys, and concludes
with the unique aspects of Web-based surveys.

The skills required to produce a Web-based survey are different from those required to
construct other types of surveys. Web survey design focuses more on programming ability and
Web page design rather than traditional survey methodology. Because of the technology involved
in developing Web surveys, leadership has come from people with a background in technology, not
the survey methodology professionals. In fact, the use of Web surveys seems to have caught the
survey methodology community somewhat by surprise".

1.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION

Problems associated with Web page design computer programming can play a significant
role in Web-based surveys, and the computer code of the questionnaire can be a source of error
with Web-based surveys explained how inaccuracies in computer programming which produced
text boxes of different sizes affected survey results in a University of Michigan survey.

Various effects in surveys are questionnaires with frames; answer columns side by side;
different versions of the questionnaire for various respondents; randomizing question order; error
checking; removing character codes from text responses; and process tracing and timing.

REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

2.1. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

o Processor: Pentium IV
o Mother board: Intel 915E
o Cache memory: 256K
o Floppy disk drive:1.44MB
o RAM:256MB
o Hard disk Capacity:35 KB

2.2. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

o Front end: C++

o Back end:MS-Access
o Compiler:VC++
o Operating System:Windows 98

2.3. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

The user requirements for a system should describe the functional and non-functional
requirements so that they are understandable by system user without detailed technical knowledge.
They should only specify the external behaviour of the system and should avoid as for as possible,
system design characteristics.

However, various problems can arise when requirements are return in natural language
sentences in a text document:
i) Lack of clarity: It is sometimes difficult to use language in a precise and unambiguous way
without making the document wordy and difficult to read.

4 DEPT OF IT
 ONLINE SURVEY

ii) Requirements Confusion: Functional requirements, non-functional requirements, system goals

and design information may not be clearly distinguished.

iii) Requirement Amalgamation: Several different requirements may be expressed together as a

single requirement.

This requirement includes both conceptual and detailed information. It expresses the
concept that there should be an accounting system as an inherent part of LIBSYS.
However, it also includes the detail that the accounting system should support discounts for regular
LIBSYS user. The detail would have been better left to the system requirements specification.
The three kinds of requirements are:
i) A conceptual, functional requirements states that the editing system should provide a grid. It
presents the rationale for this.
ii) A non-functional requirement giving detailed information about the grid units (centimeters or
inches).
iii) A non-functional user interface requirement that defines how the grid is switched on and off by
the user.

CHAPTER 3
DESIGN CONCEPT

In this design stage, we are designing our project according to customer

satisfaction or user satisfaction. In this design phase, the user must
understand the whole project by seeing the design of the project. After the
completion of the analysis stage, the user must design the project according
to the collected requirements in the analysis stage. After the completion of the
analysis stage, the user must continue with the design stage. In this
project, the user must create the database to store the details of the total
population in India, based upon collection of table requirements collected in
the design stage.

After creation of tables, the user must design the project that is it can
also represent the design in the form of Data Flow Diagrams. it contains the
details about what we are going to survey. here we are surveying about the
population in India. it consists of states, union territories, languages and
religions.

The user must understand the project what are all the operations in the
project that was going to do or carrying out by seeing the DFD Diagrams. In
that format, the user must draw the DFD diagram. The DFD diagram that must
contain all the details of the project. The user must design or draw the DFD
diagrams based upon the project what it will do, what are the operations that
was carrying in the project it will represent the DFD diagrams in the one by
one operation that was carrying in the project.

CHAPTER 4
FUNCTION POINT ANALYSIS
Function points are derived using an empirical relationship between countable
measurement of software information domain and assessments of software complexity.

NUMBER OF USER INPUT

Each user input that provides distinct application oriented information to the use. Input
should be distinguishable from enquires, which are counted separately.

NUMBER OF USER OUTPUT

Each user output that provides distinct application oriented information to the user is
counted. In this content output refers to reports, screens, error message etc.

18 DEPT OF IT
 ONLINE SURVEY

NUMBER OF USER IN INQUIRES

An inquires, is defined as online input that results in the generation of some immediate
software response in the form of an online output. Each distinct inquires is counted.

NUMBER OF FILES
Each logical master file (i.e.) a logical grouping of data that may be one part of a large
database or a separate file is counted.

NUMBER OF EXTERNAL INTERFACE

All machine-readable interfaces that are used to transmit information to another system are
counted. Once these data have been collected, a complexity value is associated with each count.
organization that use function point method develop criteria for determining whether a particular
entry is simple, average, or complex, non theses, the determination of complexity some what
objective.
To compute function point, the following execution is used.
FP= count total x[0.65+0.01*I(Fi)]

CHAPTER 6

6. SOFTWARE TESTING AND REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

6.1 TESTING APPROACH

Implementation ends with format sets. The test data are very crucial to this process. They
must be realistic, extreme, and as well. Ideally, alternative path through the program should be
exercised atleast beyond the testing data.

6.1.1 BLACK BOX TESTING

Black box testing also called as behavioral testing, focuses on the Functional
requirements of the software. It enables the software engineer to drive sets of input conditions that

20 DEPT OF IT
 ONLINE SURVEY

will fully exercise all functional requirements for a program. Black Box testing deals with the
correctness of the entire program by checking whether the input is properly accepted, the output is
produced correctly and to check the integrity of the external inquiries.

Black box testing attempts to find errors in the following categories:

o Incorrect or missing functions
o Interface errors
o Errors in data structures or external database access
o Behavior or performance errors
o Initialization and termination errors.

Black box testing involves the following methods:

o Graph-based testing methods

o Equivalence partitioning
o Boundary value analysis
o Orthogonal array testing

6.1.2 UNIT TESTING

Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software design-the software
component or module. Unit testing involves the following:
o Interfaces
o Local data structure
o Boundary conditions
o Error handling paths
o Independent paths

21 DEPT OF IT
 ONLINE SURVEY

The most common errors that occur are (1) misunderstood or incorrect arithmetic
precedence, (2) mixed mode operation, (3) incorrect initialization, (4) precision inaccuracy, and (5)
incorrect symbolic representation of the project.

6.1.3 INTEGRATION TESTING

Integration testing is the systematic testing methodology for constructing the software
architecture while at the same time conducting test to check the interfaces as well. The objective is
to design a program structure with the unit-tested components that has been detected earlier. It
involves two type of approach namely Top-down approach and Bottom-up approach.

6.1.4 VALIDATION TESTING

The final series of software testing is validation testing. Validation can be defined in many
terms, but a simple definition is that validation succeeds when software functions in a manner that
can be reasonably expected by the customer.

6.1.5 SYSTEM TESTING

Software is incorporated with other system elements (e.g. hardware, people, and
information) and a series of system integration and validation tests are conducted. System testing is
actually a series of different tests whose primary purpose is to fully exercise the computer-based
system. There are many tests conducted to assure that it meets all its requirements.

6.2. ERROR CONDITIONS

1. File exits or not, involves in checking the presence of file.

2. File extension not supported, involves in the correctness of input assembly file.
3. Type failure, if it involves any data type other than the subset.
4. Optimization fails, if no instruction analyzed are optimized.
5. Code Fails, if the content of assembly file is empty.

7. CONCLUSION

Web-based surveys have had a profound influence on the survey process in a number of
ways. The survey taking process has become more democratized because of Web surveys. Since
the ability to gather data through Web surveys is quite widely available, ordinary citizens, as well
as government organizations, university researchers, and big businesses, are now conducting
surveys on the Web. Leadership in Web-based survey design is coming from people with a strong
technology background, not just the experts in survey methodology.

The visual aspect of surveys is even more important in Web-based surveys than with other
surveys. What was visible in a paper survey can be made invisible in a Web and vice versa. Web
surveys have reduced the cost of data collection and made data analysis more efficient. Although
there are concerns about Web-based surveys and many aspects of conducting surveys on the Web
have yet to studied, a number of researchers have produced a body of literature that is improving
the design and effectiveness of the Web-based survey process.

7.1 FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

The purpose of this project is to provide a survey system that can run from one location and
allow for multiple users each with multiple surveys. To make this system a true web based survey
tool will require several enhancements on the current version. Currently the system lacks web
based administrative functions. This covers several areas such as online survey creation, online
password additions and online review of results by the survey owners. First lets make some
distinctions on the types of users.

There are three types of users on this system. The 'survey takers' are the users who take the
survey using an assigned survey code. The 'survey owners' are the users who create surveys, set
passwords for the survey takers and review the results of their surveys.

29 DEPT OF IT
 ONLINE SURVEY

The survey administrator(s) is the person who administers the survey system software and
handles any problems that might arise. The survey administrator(s) should be able to add and
remove survey owner user ids from a web application. The survey owner user id's and password's
would be put into a password file that is parsed similar to the existing survey taker password file
along with two additional attributes (the persons full name and e-mail.) The user id is the key for
this record. There will need to be a check to make sure the user id is unique when a new id is
added.

The administrator will have to log on to a web-page with a password and user id to add the
survey owner user id's and password's however since there is probably only one survey
administrator it could be hard coded into the script rather then read in from another file.

One problem with this approach is that the password file for the survey owners is world
readable (just like the survey takers password file) and has to be world readable to work with a
web- based program. However, these user ids and password are more sensitive than the survey
takers password file and this could be a security issue. A more secure method might be needed.
