Dormitory Management System in PHP and MySQL User Interface

Abstract

The project entitled Dormitory Management System is a web based system designed and developed in PHP, MySQL and Bootstrap. The said project was actually requested by the dorm owner for the purpose of automating the transactions in the dorm. The owner described the flow of transactions then the developers translated it into a technical manner in a form of data flow diagram, entity relationship diagram and eventually converted the ideas into a prototype. The program was then tested by the IT experts and rated the system using the McCalls Software Quality Model. IT experts suggested several features and functionalities for the improvement of the system; the system was then modified by the researchers before it was handed out to the end users for user acceptance testing. The researchers presented the output to the end users and conducted training on how to utilize the newly developed project.
