METHODOLOGY

3.0 Research Design

The researcher used the System Development Research Design for this study. (Hitachi,

2022), discussed methodology for systematically organizing the best ways to develop systems

efficiently. Furthermore, it includes descriptions of work to be performed at each stage of the

development process and drafted documents. The System development process, also known as

the system development life cycle, is a term used in the development of software where a set of

methodical processes, activities, or phases are used to develop and implement a system. With the

rapid development and constant evolution of systems technologies to date, different development

processes have been established and tried. (Griffin, 2022).

Common System Development Steps: 1. Information Gathering in this important step,

the problems, objectives, and resources needed are outlined. 2. Analysis at this point, the end-

user requirements have been clearly formulated. 3. Design with clearly defined workable

segments, the system design is developed. 4. Implementation this is the actual construction

phase of the system. 5. Deployment the logic of the system is completed and ready to be

deployed with any accompanying hardware. 6. System Testing the different workable parts of

the system are brought together, making a whole integrated

system(https://study.com/academy/lesson/systems-development-process-overview-

impacts.html).
3.1 Process Model

In this study the researchers use RAD concept focuses on gathering requirements using

focus groups and workshops, reusing software components, and informal communication. The

Rapid Application Development (RAD model) is based on iterative development and

prototyping with little planning involved. You develop functional modules in parallel for faster

product delivery. (https://www.educative.io/blog/software-process-model-types)

 Another process model applied in this study is Agile. The agile process model

encourages continuous iterations of development and testing. Each incremental part is

developed over an iteration, and each iteration is designed to be small and manageable so it can

be completed within a few weeks. Each iteration focuses on implementing a small set of features

completely. It involves customers in the development process and minimizes documentation by

using informal communication. (https://www.educative.io/blog/software-process-model-
