Users rely on the Websites to complete many tasks online, e.g., business travel, product research and even planning an entertainment activity. Usually users need to interact with various services and software, such as browsing, search, and social networks, to access different kinds of information, to make comparisons and to have conversations with friends.
The most difficult task while visiting a particular website is "to find the data or information of the interest or relevance". For example; if a website visitor wants to search phone numbers from the whole website then it need all the website pages to be well visited and well read. This requires a lot of time, effort and energy and even then there will be 70-80% chances of mistake in writing down a number correctly.
Now-a-days in the era of SMS-Advertising and Marketing, all the marketing and advertising companies require a complete and cheap solution to improve their businesses. This project will provide a complete solution for their domain in searching numbers from the whole website and saving them in a text file.
The system is developed in.Net Framework and is successfully tested for the test cases generated to check the effectiveness of the system. Testing is done by using the test cases designed for checking the modules of the application for unit testing.
