CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

In order to create the Barangay Portal System for Abar 1 st , the proponents followed five

phases of System Development Life Cycle(SDLC) to establish the following: Planning, Analysis,

Design, Implementation and Maintenance.

A. PLANNING

In order to solve the problems that are currently being experienced in the

Barangay Abar 1st , the development team will gather data and information from the said

barangay. The development team will interview the barangay secretary about managing

certificates of their residents, giving certificates and disseminating information. Also, the

residents will be an interview about the process of requesting certificates and the

problems they encounter. The development team will also observe the barangay on how

they process and manage transactions within their residents. As a result, the development
team will build the needed functionalities and features by gathering facts that will be used

in creating the proposed system.

The following questions will be asked to the Barangay staff:

1. In what ways do you manage handing request of certificates to your residents?

2. How do you schedule to come and take their request, especially during this time

of pandemic?

The following questions will be asked to the residents:

1. Tell me about the last time you requested a document from the barangay.

2. How often do you request?

3. Tell me your experience in requesting documents.

4. How do you manage your time in going to your barangay?

The feasibility of the barangay will be asked by the development team that will

support the proposed system. The barangay still used a face-to-face transaction or

requesting certificates. The development team will create a digitalized system that will

help to serve their residents more easily.

Fishbone Diagram

The development team will create a fishbone diagram to visualize and categorize

the cause of the problems that the residents of Barangay Abar 1st are encountering.
 Gantt Chart

The development team will create a Gantt chart to follow and note the course of

progress of the proposed system.

B. ANALYSIS

After gathering data from the Barangay Abar 1st Officers and Residents, the

development team will analyze it. The analysis includes passivity studies, technical,

operational, and economical. The development team will then determine if the proposed

system is technically, operationally, and economically feasible.

Flow chart (manual process)

The development team will make a flow chart to graphically represent the current

manual system of requesting a certificate used by the Abar 1st.

Feasibility Studies

Feasibility studies analyze a proposed project to determine if it is technically,

operationally, and economically feasible. It is used to determine if the organization can

see the project completed. It also allows the development team to gather data to decide if

the project can be feasible.

This method relates to the practical use of any technology or a machine

which finds out whether the development of the proposed system is possible,

given the current technical resources, the development team will conduct a study

to assess the ability of Abar 1st to handle resources such as the needed hardware

and software.

 Operational Feasibility

The development team will conduct a study to determine if Barangay Abar

1st is willing to handle the operation of the proposed system.

 Economic Feasibility

The development team will analyze the proposed project’s costs and

revenues to determine whether or not it is logical and possible to complete. In this

study, the development team will evaluate if Barangay Abar 1 st can support the

hardware and software requirements of the operation of the proposed system.

C. DESIGN

During this phase, the development team will create diagrams such as context

diagram, Level 0 data flow diagram(DFD), Level 1 DFD, use case diagram, entity-

relationship diagram(ERD) and relational data model.

 Context Diagram
 The development team will create a context diagram of the proposed

system to define the boundary between the system, part of a system, and its

environment, showing the entities that interact with it.

 Data Flow diagram

The development team will create a data flow diagram to graphically

represent the data flowing in and out of the processing data in the proposed

system.

 Use Case Diagram

The development team will create a use case diagram to represent an

interaction of the users with the system that shows a relationship between the

users and the different use cases in the user involved.

 Entity-Relationship Diagram

The development team will create an ERD to provide a visual starting

point for the proposed system that will be used to help determine information

system requirements. In addition, it shows and specifies relationships that can

exist between different entities.

 Relational Data Model

The development team will create a relational data model of the proposed

system where all data is created in tuples and collects a group of elements into

relation.
  User Interface Design

The development team will create a user interface design to show how the

user will interact with the system output, screens, menus, and functions.

D. DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION

In this phase, the development team will begin coding and testing the system. By

testing the system, the analyst and the developers will be able to the tech if there are

problems within the system or a need for improvement. The software/s that the

development team will use in creating the system is Php Laravel and Xampp. The

development team will also provide training to the users of the system.

E. SYSTEM SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

The maintenance of the system includes the supervision of the functionalities.

This is important to ensure the system runs smoothly. Problems and error take in this

phase. The development team will fix errors and bugs that the user may find while

operating the system. The development team can also perform corrective maintenance in

hardware failure. the development team can also perform adaptive maintenance to ensure

that the system can follow any changes in the environment, policies and processes.
