Hotel Management System methodology.

Methodology

The method being used in developing the system is the system Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The SDLC process includes project identification and selection, project initiation and planning, analysis, design, implementation and maintenance.

System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The system Development Life Cycle(SDLC) is a traditional methodology used to develop, maintain and replace or enhance information system. The main reason SDLC model is chosen because in SDLC it is possible to complete some activities in one phase in parallel with some activities of another phase. The life cycle can also be interactive that is phase are repeated as required until an acceptable system is found.

1.4.1.1 Phase 1: Project identification and selection

In this phase the project information system needs are identified and analyzed such as identified the title of the project that is Web Based XpathAnalyzer, scope and objective of the Web Based XpathAnalyzer.

1.4.1.2 Phase 2: Project initiation and planning

During this phase the Gantt chart has been developed as a time line to determining the task involve in developing the Web Based XpathAnalyzer.

1.4.1.3 Phase 3: Analysis

In the phase, the exiting system is studies by collecting the information through the Internet and analyzed the information to get alternatives for the used of proposed system. Determine what the Web Based XpathAnalyzer should do.

1.4.1.4 Phase 4: Design

Logical design is the fourth phase in SDLC methodology. The functional features chosen for the proposed system in Analysis phase are described. Part of the logical design of the information system is to devise the user interface. The interface plays an important role to connect the user with the system and is thus extremely important.
