1. INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND
In the digital era, the need to compare various types of content—such as code snippets,
documents, images, and datasets—has become critical across many fields. Whether it's a developer
seeking to track changes in code, a writer managing multiple drafts, or an analyst reviewing
datasets, efficiently identifying differences between files is a key productivity enhancer. Traditional
tools like diff, WinMerge, and platforms like GitHub offer text-based comparisons, while
specialized tools exist for other formats such as images and spreadsheets. However, most of these
tools are siloed in their functionalities and lack multi-format, cross-media support in one integrated
system.

DIFIFY is an emerging utility designed to bridge this gap by offering a unified interface for
comparing diverse data types—ranging from plain text and documents to folders and images. To
further enhance its utility, DIFIFY now introduces support for video and audio comparison, a
feature currently absent or rudimentary in most comparison tools.

• OBJECTIVE

System Objective

The primary goal of DIFIFY is to create a robust, user-friendly, and intelligent comparison tool
that:

• Accurately detects and highlights additions, deletions, and modifications across


various file types.

• Supports both traditional inputs (e.g., code files, images, documents) and advanced
media formats such as videos and audio clips.

• Uses visual aids like color-coding, waveform visualization, and video frame differencing
to present differences clearly and intuitively.

System Context

DIFIFY operates as a multi-modal file comparison system that can be used as a desktop
application or web-based tool. It sits at the intersection of content management, media analytics,
and developer tooling. It interacts with local and/or cloud-based storage systems to fetch user
inputs and deliver side-by-side comparisons. Advanced algorithms—including waveform

1
alignment (for audio) and frame differencing (for video)—are integrated to extend traditional
comparison methodologies to multimedia formats.

• PURPOSE & SCOPE

2. SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGY

• MERN:
The MERN stack is a popular web development framework that combines four
powerful technologies to build full-stack web applications:

• MongoDB – A NoSQL database for storing data in flexible, JSON-like documents.

• Express.js – A lightweight and flexible Node.js web application framework for handling
HTTP requests, APIs, and server-side logic.

• React.js – A front-end JavaScript library developed by Meta (Facebook) for building


dynamic and responsive user interfaces.

• Node.js – A JavaScript runtime environment that enables the execution of JavaScript


code on the server side.

This stack allows developers to use a single language (JavaScript) across the entire
application, from front-end to back-end, making it ideal for rapid development and
scalability.

• CONCEPTUAL MODELS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DESIGN:
Defining A System: Defining a system is a critical initial phase that sets the stage for the
entire development process. This phase involves conceptualizing, designing, and
describing the software solution that will address the identified problem or need. It serves
as a roadmap for the development team and stakeholders, guiding the subsequent stages
of the SDLC. Defining a system encompasses several key aspects, each crucial for the
success of the project. First and foremost, defining a system involves understanding and
articulating the problem or need that the software aims to address. This requires
collaboration among stakeholders, including clients, end users, project sponsors, and
domain experts. Through discussions, interviews, surveys, and other techniques,
stakeholders identify the pain points, challenges, and opportunities that the software
solution should target. This process of problem definition provides the context and
motivation for the development effort, ensuring that the resulting system meets the real-
world needs of its users. Once the problem is defined, the next step is to establish the
scope of the system. The scope defines the boundaries of what the software will and will

8
not do, outlining the 13 functionalities, features, and components that will be included in
the final product. Stakeholders prioritize requirements based on their importance, urgency,
and feasibility, helping to define a clear scope for the project. This ensures that the
development team stays focused on delivering value to the users while managing
expectations and avoiding scope creep. With the scope defined, attention turns to the
architecture of the system. System architecture outlines the high-level structure and design
of the software solution, including the arrangement of components, modules, and
subsystems, as well as the interactions and interfaces between them. It provides a blueprint
for developers to follow during the implementation phase, guiding decisions about
technology stack, frameworks, and design patterns. A well-designed architecture lays the
foundation for a scalable, maintainable, and extensible system, capable of evolving with
changing requirements and technologies. In parallel with defining the architecture, the
system's data model is designed. The data model describes the organization and structure
of the data that the system will manage, including data entities, attributes, relationships,
and constraints. Designing a data model ensures that the system can effectively store,
retrieve, and manipulate data to meet the requirements of the users. It lays the groundwork
for database design, data storage, and data access mechanisms, ensuring data integrity,
consistency, and security. Another crucial aspect of defining a system is designing the user
interface (UI). The UI design focuses on creating intuitive and visually appealing interfaces
that enable users to interact with the system. This involves designing screens, forms,
menus, and other elements to facilitate user input and feedback. Lastly, defining a system
involves specifying both functional and non-functional requirements. Functional
requirements describe the specific actions and behaviour that the system must perform to
fulfil its intended purpose. These requirements define the functionalities and feature that
users expect from the software, such as data processing, calculations, reporting, and
integration with other systems. Non-functional requirements address the quality attributes
of the system, such as performance, reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability.
These requirements define the criteria for evaluating the system's overall effectiveness and
usability beyond its functional capabilities.

System Development Life Cycle: The System development life cycle (SDLC), or Software
development processing systems engineering, information systems and software engineering, is a

9
process of creating or altering information systems, and the models and methodologies that
Processing 14 people use to develop these systems. In software engineering, the SDLC concept
underpins many kinds of software development methodologies. It provides a structured
framework for managing the entire software development process, from the initial conception of
an idea to the final delivery of a functional product. SDLC consists of several phases, each with its
specific objectives, activities, and deliverables, ensuring that the software meets quality standards,
user requirements, and business goals. These methodologies form the framework for planning and
controlling the creation of an information system the process. Broadly, following are the different
activities to be considered while defining the system development life cycle for the said project:

• Problem Definition

• System Analysis

• Study of existing system

• Drawback of the existing system

• Proposed system

• System Requirement study

• Data flow analysis

• Feasibility study

• System design

• Input Design (Database & Forms)

• Updating • Query /Report design

• Administration

• Testing

• Implementation

• Maintenance

System Analysis: System analysis is a critical phase in the software development life cycle (SDLC)
that involves studying, understanding, and defining the requirements of a proposed software
system or application. It is a systematic approach to investigating, identifying, and documenting
the needs, objectives, and constraints of the system to be developed. System analysis serves as the

10
foundation for the subsequent phases of software development, providing the necessary insights
and information for designing, implementing, and testing the system effectively. The process of
system analysis begins with gathering information from stakeholders, 15 including end-users,
clients, managers, and domain experts, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem
domain and the goals of the proposed system. This often involves conducting interviews, surveys,
workshops, and other techniques to elicit requirements and capture stakeholders' perspectives on
what the system should accomplish. Requirements gathering is a collaborative effort that aims to
identify both functional and non-functional requirements, as well as any constraints or
dependencies that may impact the design and implementation of the system. Once the
requirements have been collected, system analysts analyze and prioritize them to determine their
significance and feasibility. This involves evaluating the scope of the project, assessing the potential
risks and benefits, and identifying any conflicting or ambiguous requirements that may need
further clarification. Requirements analysis requires careful attention to detail and a deep
understanding of the domain in which the system will operate, as well as consideration of factors
such as cost, schedule, and available resources. During the analysis phase, system analysts also
work to develop a conceptual model of the system that captures its key components, processes,
and interactions. This may include creating diagrams, such as data flow diagrams, use case
diagrams, or entity-relationship diagrams, to represent the structure and behaviour of the system
from a high-level perspective. The conceptual model serves as a visual aid for stakeholders to
understand the proposed system and provides a basis for further refinement and elaboration
during the design phase. Throughout the analysis phase, system analysts collaborate closely with
stakeholders to validate requirements, gather feedback, and ensure that the proposed solution
aligns with the needs and expectations of its users. This may involve conducting reviews,
demonstrations, or prototypes to solicit input and verify that the system will meet its intended
objectives. Effective communication and collaboration are essential for building consensus and
ensuring that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the system requirements and design.
In summary, system analysis is a systematic and collaborative process of studying, understanding,
and defining the requirements of a software system or application. It involves gathering
information from stakeholders, analyzing and prioritizing requirements, developing a conceptual
model of the system, evaluating alternative solutions, and making recommendations for the best
course of action. By providing a clear understanding of the problem domain and the goals of the
proposed system, system analysis lays the groundwork for the successful development and
implementation of software solutions that meet the needs of their users.

11
System Design: System design is a comprehensive process that encompasses the creation of a
blueprint for the development and implementation of a software system or application. It involves
translating requirements gathered during the initial stages of software development into 16 a
detailed plan that outlines how the system will function, how its components will interact, and how
it will be built and deployed. System design is a crucial phase in the software development life cycle
(SDLC) as it sets the foundation for the construction and operation of the final product. At its
core, system design involves making a series of decisions about the architecture, components,
modules, interfaces, and data structures of the system. These decisions are guided by the functional
and non-functional requirements of the system, as well as considerations such as scalability,
reliability, performance, security, and maintainability. System designers must strike a balance
between meeting these requirements while also ensuring that the system is feasible to implement
within the constraints of time, budget, and available technology. The first step in system design is
to analyze and understand the requirements of the system. This involves gathering information
from stakeholders, including end-users, clients, and domain experts, to identify the goals,
objectives, and constraints of the system. Requirements analysis helps to define the scope of the
system and establish a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished. Once the
requirements are understood, system designers begin the process of conceptualizing the system
architecture. This involves defining the overall structure of the system, including its high-level
components, modules, and their interactions. Architecture design focuses on identifying the key
subsystems and their responsibilities, as well as defining the interfaces between them. At this stage,
designers may use techniques such as architectural patterns, such as client-server, layered, or
microservices architecture, to organize and structure the system effectively. With the architecture
in place, system designers move on to detailed design, where they flesh out the internal workings
of each component and module. This involves specifying the algorithms, data structures, and logic
necessary to implement the system's functionality. Design decisions at this level are guided by
principles of modularity, encapsulation, and information hiding, which aim to promote reusability,
maintainability, and flexibility. Once the design is complete, system designers document their
decisions and create detailed design specifications that serve as a guide for developers during the
implementation phase. These specifications may include architectural diagrams, data models,
interface definitions, algorithms, and other design artifacts. Clear and comprehensive
documentation is essential for ensuring that the system is implemented correctly and that all
stakeholders have a shared understanding of its design and functionality. Finally, system designers
may also conduct design reviews and evaluations to validate the design against the requirements
and identify any potential issues or improvements. Iterative refinement of the design may be

12
necessary as new information becomes available or as the project 17 progresses. Ultimately, the
goal of system design is to create a robust, scalable, and maintainable solution that meets the needs
of its users and stakeholders.

Entity Relation Diagram: The Entity Relation Model or Entity Relation Diagram (ERD) is a
data model or diagram for high-level description of conceptual data model, and it provides a
graphical notation for representing such data models in the form of entity relationship diagrams.
Such models are typically used in the first stage of Management information system design; they
are used for example, to describe information needs and/ or the type of information that is to be
stored in the Database during the requirement analysis. The data modeling technique, however,
can be used to describe any ontology (i.e. an overview and classification of used term and their
relationships) for a certain universe of discourse (i.e. area of interest). At the heart of an ER
diagram are entities, which are objects or concepts with independent existence and properties that
are relevant to the database. Entities can represent real-world objects like people, places, or things,
or they can be abstract concepts like accounts or transactions in a banking system. Each entity is
depicted as a rectangle in the ER diagram, labeled with its name. Attributes are the properties or
characteristics of entities that are stored in the database. These attributes describe the features of
an entity and are represented as ovals connected to their respective entities by lines. For example,
in a database for a university, a "Student" entity may have attributes such as "Student ID," "Name,"
"Date of Birth," and "Major." Relationships define how entities interact with each other within the
database. They represent the associations between entities and are crucial for understanding the
connections between different parts of the system. Relationships are illustrated as lines connecting
entities, typically labeled with verbs or phrases that describe the nature of the association. For
instance, in a library database, a "Borrower" entity may have a relationship with a "Book" entity
labeled as "Borrows," indicating that a borrower can borrow multiple books. To represent a many-
to-many relationship in an ER diagram, it is common to introduce a junction entity, also known
as an associative entity or a linking table. This junction entity resolves the many-to-many
relationship into two one-to-many relationships, simplifying the structure of the database. Keys
are crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring efficient database operations, while
cardinality constraints help define the nature of the relationships between entities. Overall, ER
diagrams provide a powerful visual tool for database designers to analyze, design, and
communicate the structure of a database system. By representing entities, attributes, and
relationships in a clear and concise manner, ER diagrams facilitate collaboration between
stakeholders and ensure that the database meets the requirements of its users.

13
Data Flow Diagram: The data flow diagram shows the flow of data within any system. It is an
important tool for designing phase of software engineering. Larry Constantine first developed it.
It represents graphical view of flow of data. It’s also known as BUBBLE CHART. The purpose
of DFD is major transformation that will become in system design symbols used in DFD. In the
DFD, four symbols are used and they are as follows.

• A square defines a source (originator) or destination of system data.

14
• An arrow identifies data flow-data in motion. It is 2a pipeline through which information
flows.

• A circle or a “bubble “(Some people use an oval bubble) represents a process that transfers
informing data flows into outgoing data flows.

• An open rectangle is a data store-data at rest, or a temporary repository of data

6. TESTING

• SYSTEM TESTING:
System Testing is a level of software testing where a complete and integrated software
application is tested as a whole. The purpose is to evaluate the system's compliance with
the specified requirements.

Why testing is done?

Testing ensures that the software product is:

• Functional and reliable

• Secure and user-friendly

• Free of critical bugs

• Compliant with user and system requirements.

Benefits:

• Improves quality and performance

• Builds trust with users

• Saves cost by identifying issues early

• Reduces the risk of failure after deployment

Causes of Errors:

Common Causes Include:

• Human mistakes in coding or logic

• Ambiguous or incomplete requirements

• Design errors or flawed architecture

• Integration issues between modules

• Environment mismatch (e.g., different OS, browsers)

• Third-party library bugs

• Concurrency and race condition.

49
• TESTING PRINCIPLES:
These are widely accepted guidelines for effective testing, outlined by the ISTQB
(International Software Testing Qualifications Board):

Principle Description
1. Testing shows presence of Testing can reveal bugs, but not guarantee bug-free
defects product
2. Exhaustive testing is It’s impractical to test all inputs and scenarios
impossible
3. Early testing saves cost and Start testing early in the SDLC to catch defects sooner
effort
4. Defect clustering Most defects are found in a few modules
5. Pesticide paradox Repeating the same tests will not find new bugs
6. Testing is context-dependent Different applications need different kinds of testing
7. Absence-of-errors fallacy A bug-free system is useless if it doesn't meet user needs.

• TESTING OBJECTIVES:

Primary Objectives of Testing:

• Identify defects and bugs

• Ensure software requirements are met

• Validate functionality, security, performance, and usability

• Ensure integration of different modules

• Provide confidence to stakeholders regarding product stability.

• KIND OF TESTING:

There are multiple types of testing, based on the focus and stage of testing:

Functional Testing:

• Verifies that the software performs according to functional requirements.


Examples: Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing.

50
Non-Functional Testing:

• Tests performance, scalability, usability, and security


Examples: Load Testing, Stress Testing, Security Testing.

Manual vs Automated Testing:

• Manual Testing: Performed by humans without tools

• Automated Testing: Scripts and tools (e.g., Jest, Selenium) automate test execution.

• OTHER TESTING TYPES:

Type Description
Unit Testing Tests individual components or functions
Integration Testing Tests interactions between modules
System Testing Validates the complete application
Regression Testing Ensures new changes don’t break existing features
Acceptance Testing Confirms software meets end-user requirements
UI/UX Testing Checks usability and visual correctness
Smoke Testing Basic check to ensure major functions work
Sanity Testing Verifies bug fixes and new functionality

• TESTING TECHNIQUES USED:


• Unit Testing
Each individual module or function—such as text comparison, image diffing, audio
waveform generation, and video frame analysis—was tested separately using test cases to
verify their correctness. Frameworks like Jest (for React) and Mocha/Chai (for Node.js)
were used.
• Integration Testing
Multiple modules were tested together to verify that data flow between components (e.g.,
file upload → comparison → result generation) works correctly. Integration testing
ensured that combining various modules like the frontend, backend, and database didn’t
introduce bugs.

51
• System Testing
The system was tested as a whole with actual user workflows—uploading files, selecting
comparison types, analysing differences, and exporting results. This verified that the
system met its defined requirements.
• Performance Testing
Stress testing was conducted with large files (e.g., HD video, audio recordings over 1
hour) to check processing time, memory consumption, and output rendering.
• Usability Testing
A small group of users were invited to use the platform and give feedback on UI design,
interaction flow, and ease of use. Suggestions were implemented to enhance the UX
• Security Testing
Vulnerability checks were performed for:
File upload safety (preventing malicious file execution)
File access control (ensuring user isolation)
Session expiry and token validation for user actions

52
7. CONCLUSION

The DIFIFY project represents a significant step forward in multi-format file comparison tools.
It moves beyond traditional text and folder comparison utilities by supporting modern digital
formats such as images, audio, and video. This makes it an essential utility for developers, content
creators, analysts, and legal teams where file integrity, change tracking, and verification are critical.

The architecture of DIFIFY was designed to be modular, scalable, and secure. Through careful
planning and implementation using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node), the
system ensures flexibility in handling a wide range of user inputs. Additionally, the integration of
media processing libraries such as OpenCV, FFmpeg, and waveform analysis tools provides robust
support for non-textual data.

Through multiple testing stages, DIFIFY has proven to be a reliable and user-friendly solution
that can detect minute differences across diverse file types and present them visually for ease of
understanding.

53
8. FUTURE SCOPE

While the DIFIFY tool is feature-rich and production-ready, there are several future enhancements
and expansions that can make it even more powerful and adaptable:

• Support for More File Types

• Add support for 3D model comparisons (e.g., .obj,.stl) for use in CAD and animation
industries.

• Compare PDF files at a content level, extracting text/images and then comparing.

• Enable spreadsheet diffing for .csv and .xlsx with cell-level change tracking.

• Cloud Integration

• Allow direct integration with cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and
OneDrive for easier file access.

• Enable cloud-based processing for heavy media files to offload computation.

• AI-Powered Comparisons

• Use machine learning for semantic comparisons rather than just structural. For instance,
comparing meaning in sentences or identifying changed speakers in audio.

• Implement image recognition to detect objects added/removed in visual content.

• User Features

• Collaborative comparison interface for teams working remotely.

• Personalized dashboards to save previous comparisons and resume analysis.

• Notification system for file changes in monitored directories.

• Mobile Application

• A companion mobile app that supports on-the-go comparisons, especially useful for field
professionals.
