The proposition of custom development model (CDM) for Account Payable (AP) in Integrated Management System (IMS) at Integrated Knowledge and Campus Management (IKCM)

Abstract

The goal of the Technical Report is to analyze and recommend the best practice of Software Development Methodology for the IKCM to develop Account Payable (AP) System using Oracle 9i Forms Developer, and how the software development methodology can be applied to web development organizations to help the software developers increase their productivity to produce better quality software, on time, and on budget. As Web technology shifts its paradigm from static document focused to perform more functionality, Web development is becoming more like other software development. The importance is no longer only on the presentation, organization, and contents. When a site is delivered from a server to a customer, client issues, server issues, database issues, and network issues may influence the user’s perception of the Web site. To minimize the possibility of failure, a rigorous approach to site development should be adopted. Web development is no longer completely foreign to the concept of traditional software development. There are many models and ideas in software engineering that can be applied to Web development. Rapid Application Development (RAD) of Custom Development Method (CDM) using Oracle Developer Suite is among the choices. An ideal process model for Web Development environment must be easy to apply and help developers address the complexity of a Web site, minimize the risks, deal with the possibility of change, and deliver the site quickly with a high quality. Every set of software process has strengths and weaknesses. What is desirable is a set of software processes by which a web development organization can benefit the most. This Technical Report presents an approach to evaluation of software engineering processes and their application to web development of Integrated Management System (IMS) at UPSI.
