In developing a system that requires a high level sensitivity such as this one, a language that simplifies things was necessary for use. This was the reason for choosing PHP, with few elements `of CSS and Java script. MySQL was chosen for programming the database.
4.7    Testing and Integration
In the course of this design, the development was done in modules. Each module was implemented separately and tested. Every stage entails debugging, which was doneand all error fixed. The entire system was integrated by joining each module to work with the main system. At the end of the integration, the entire system was tested and confirmed Ok.
4.8    Software Testing and Integration
The Test Plan
The test activities were carried out in stages.   Each module was tested after and during Design using debug in browser debugger.
System Testing
The modules tested include the module discussed earlier in the previous chapters. Each of these modules was tested with some test data. After each debugging stage, the module would be integrated into the main system.
Main System Driver Testing
The main driver, being the Home Page of the Online News Portal was tested for proper connectivity to the database. Improper linkage to database was immediately corrected and assurance was made to see that data were adequately retrieved and presented without errors.
Database Testing
Database testing was tested basically for connectivity and storage. The test started with the design stage, where efforts were ensured that the correct data representation was made.
4.9    System Implementation
The system was implemented using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5. The implementation began with the site definition, which involves the following steps;
