Methodologies
The methodologies we used for our hostel management system project included:
1. Agile Methodology: We used an agile approach to software development, which involved breaking down the project into smaller, manageable tasks, and iterating on the development process based on feedback and results. This allowed us to quickly adapt to changes and ensure that the project was completed on time and within budget.
2. Waterfall Methodology: We also used a waterfall approach for certain parts of the project, such as the planning and requirements gathering phases. This involved a more structured approach to project management, where each phase of the project was completed before moving on to the next.
3. Prototyping: We used prototyping as a methodology to validate our ideas and to ensure that the features we were developing met the needs of both students and hostel staff. This involved creating simple, low-fidelity prototypes that could be tested with potential users and refined based on their feedback.
4. Test-Driven Development: We also used a test-driven development approach to ensure that our system was functioning as intended and that any issues were identified and resolved early on in the development process. This involved writing automated tests for each feature and ensuring that they passed before moving on to the next.
Overall, we used a combination of methodologies to ensure that our hostel management system project was completed successfully, met the needs of both students and hostel staff, and was delivered on time and within budget.
