The Waterfall Model

Project Identification
In the first phase, the proponents identify the problem and analyze the
requirements of the entire study. As they gathered different researches for a more
useful and unique project, they conclude that a website is a good choice for this
study, because on this new era, modern technologies and internet sets as a big
influence to our daily lives. And with that, the proponents end up deciding to build a
website which is focused on offering Gadgets and Accessories online.
Planning
In this given phase, the proponents did several discussion and consultations
on how to pursue their chosen project, from the timeline up to the role of each
team members.
The goal of systems analysis is to gather and review all the possible
requirements of the system to be developed . This step involves breaking down
the system in different pieces and drawing diagrams to analyze the situation,
analyzing project goals, breaking down what needs to be created and attempting
to engage users so that definite requirements can be defined. Requirements
gathering involve several researches and consultations.
Design
At this stage, proponents should make the ‘design’ live into action. Sketches
and layouts should turn as a real system based on the specifications and rules that
they’ve designed. The proponents should start to kick-in their technical abilities and
get their hands dirty on doing such coding process. At this stage, debugging occurs
on numerous times as it is needed or as long as there’s any errors to be acquired.
And opt, before the system implementation, the proponents must assure that the
whole system is working well by doing the last check or so called unit testing.
Implementation
When the program was already check and met all the requirements that are
needed for it, it would now ready for this phase. In implementing a system, the
proponents must explain the whole project on their target users.
Software Maintenance
Methods of Research
Listed below are the research approaches that the proponents tried for the
design phase.

Internet Research
The proponents did several research and reviews via internet to gather
significant information that could help them building their proposed system. They
go to different blogs and forums of web developers or analyst who offers good
reviews and tips on how to create a better website and what it should offer to the
target users. From there, they achieved to get some techniques that to implement
to build a more user-friendly website.
Consultation
The proponents’ consults from the people they have seen on Forums and
asked for some questions, clarifications, tips & tricks plus pros/cons of building a
website. On that consultation, the proponents get a deeper understanding on how
important the design phase is.
Interview Questionnaire
Each of the members of the team provides interview questions for the target
users of the system. The idea is to gather comments from the target users from the
manual way of doing gadget shopping up to using the proposed website.
Survey
The proponents will use the said ‘Interview Questionnaire’ on this phase.
This is known as a good technique to gather information and feedbacks from
different people or respondents. Usually, the survey involves the expectations of
target users and their comments on what is being presented.

This will also help the proponents to understand and see how the users
takes the system.
The proponents used 100 random target users from their colleagues, known
friends, family members and some experts in web development around Bulacan.
Description of respondents
The respondents of the study are on different age & places in Bulacan.
However, each of the selected respondents are known as technology geeks or a
fan of social Medias and e-commerce sites.
The proponents will use the below formula on getting the survey result.
Formula:
n = N / 1 + N * (0.05)²
Description:
e = acceptable sampling error
N = Population Size
n = Sample Size

Arithmetic Mean
On the other hand, for the evaluation of the system, the proponents use
Arithmetic Mean to represent the ratings and feedbacks. The arithmetic mean is
sometimes referred to as the average or simply as the mean.
Formula:
p = (x/n) * 100
Description:
p = percentage
x = given score or ratings
n = total number of respondents
