Aplicar el desarrollo dirigido por pruebas para implementar una aplicación web que gestione los procesos académicos del instituto superior tecnológico Dr. Misael Acosta Solís.

Abstract

The Instituto Superior Dr. Misael Acosta Solís does not adequately manage its data of students, making the academic processes time-consuming and unattractive for those involved, so a web application was developed to manage academic processes. First, a bibliographic research on the TDD development methodology was carried out, after that, we identified the processes to be automated. Once documented all the test cases obtained based on the requirements, we proceeded to implement them with the help of the phpUnit library in the Laravel framework. The entire development process was managed by the SCRUM methodology. We evaluated two quality metrics taken from ISO 25010 in the web application: usability and availability. To measure the usability, surveys were applied to the system users, these surveys are based on the 6 indicators proposed by ISO 25010, obtaining as a result a system usability of 90.94%. We simulated three scenarios for availability, resulting in an availability level of 100% for the optimistic and normal scenarios, and an availability level of 85% for the overload scenario. In conclusion, the web application meets the requirements, and it has a very satisfactory percentage of usability and a level of availability of 100% in two of three scenarios. On the other hand, it is recommended in the case of adding new functionalities; use REST web services since this is what has been used in the project.
