...Title of Paper Author(s) Date Supervisor (Study Program) Introduction Software engineering involves the methodical and disciplined approach to developing software products (Lehman, n.d.). Software Engineering develops and maintains reliable software systems that exhibit several features. Such features include; affordability, completeness, scalability, portability, integration, and dependability. The interpretation is that such systems must satisfy all user requirements as defined by the users. Such characteristics are important in meeting the organization’s objectives. The result of software engineering, therefore, is an efficient and reliable software system. The precise definition of functional and non-functional requirements forms one of the main sections in the software development lifecycle that presents a challenge to developers. Definition of such requirements is essential for meeting both business and system performance objectives. Software requirements detail the main functions that the system must aim to fulfill. They represent the user’s expectations of the real-world system features (Mishra and Mohanty, 2012). Usability is the main feature of any software system under development that demonstrates the system as understandable and usable to the users under specified conditions. Challenges encountered in the different phases of the software development cycle, if not properly managed, may lead to poor usability in software systems...

...Request 08/07/2014 BSA/375 University of Phoenix Abstract This paper will identify and describe the integration of existing HR tools into a single application as well as provide background on the information gathering tools and techniques utilized in order to provide a more sophisticated, state-of-the-art information systems technology in the human resources department of Riordan Manufacturing, Inc. HR Service Request Riordan Manufacturing, Inc. has requested an enhancement to their current human resources system. The current system uses a variety of tools that are pieced together and appear to generate more disorganization and chaos than necessary, in order to successfully manage day to day HR tasks. Excel spreadsheets are employed by multiple users within the HR department, which make intercommunication within the department difficult. A single operation that encompasses all areas required of the application would provide a more efficient system, greater accuracy, and better time management by the employees, among other additional benefits for the agency as a whole. In order to comply with Riordan’s request, a thorough investigation into current practices as well as interviews with key stakeholders, as a start, is required. These individuals would have the appropriate knowledge of the current arrangement, as well as the insight of expectations for the proposed new system. The requirements will be gathered from these stakeholders, at a minimum: * Terri Carrranza...

Computerized Grading System for Metropolitan Academy of Manila Christelle Joy Barreno, Amanda Arevalo, Anderson Emmanuel Abundo, and Chriselle Laput 2. 2. Page 2 1.0Introduction People nowadays are living in an information age dependent upon digital information. Digital information is electronic information, the result of computer processing. Every type of job relies upon getting information, using it, managing it, and relaying information to others. Computers enable the efficient processing and storage of information. A grading system plays a key role in the management system of any school. But, such systems do not often relate expectations, outcomes, and performance. As each student desires to achieve a good score for each assignment, exam, project and/or report, the whole process adds heavy workload for teachers in order to make their evaluation fair, comprehensive, and accurate. From the faculty perspective, these are necessary to avoid disagreement from students and parents. A computerized grading system is a highly desirable addition to the educational tool-kit, particularly when it can provide less effort and a more effective and timely outcome. Grading systems are designed to provide incentives for achievement and assist in identifying problem areas of a student. It is the most commonly used means of analyzing student performance, talents and skills. Students’ grades are vital information needed in advancing...
