Problem Analysis

Project Abstract Problem Specification Constraints and Limitations

Project Abstract

The UHCL Fitness Center needs an application to track facility usage, program participation, and use of services.

Designing a three tier Web application The application will be

– Easy to support– Scalable

Problem Specification

The UHCL Fitness Center runs several programs and services– Fitness Zone membership– 100 Mile Club– locker rental– for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and family of faculty and staff.

FZ needs an application to track facility usage, program participation, and use of services.

This application will be supported by a Computer Science Student Assistant

needs to be scaleable to support future programs and direct access by members.

Problem Specification

Problem of current system– Some modules are not executing– Data are not saved to a centralized database– Look and feel is not user-friendly– Documentation and user guide are not sufficient

Show Stopper– Crystal report shots exception and cannot run– User has to punch the data into MS Excel instead

Conclusion from end user– Project was not complete

Constraints and Limitations

Network – Cannot access the system off campus

Database– Access is not optimal choice but have to use

System– Need UCT to set up IIS – Need to migrate from .NET framework 1.1 to 2.0– Need UCT to grant administrator access

Project Scope– Fulfill user’s requirements and set up a good architecture– Leave space for future improvement– Not enough time or resources to elaborate and resolve all issues

Design

Three tier Web application architecture Will run locally in the Fitness Zone Client access via UHCL network

Implementation

Three Tier Web Application– Microsoft IIS Web Server– Presentation layer (ASP.NET)– WebControl for creating charts (WebChart)– Business logic (C#)– Database (MS Access)

Implementation Issues

Problems Encountered:– Old Version of .NetFramework (1.1)– IIS is not installed– Using Charts is not direct. The need to come with a solution to

develop a webchart.

Techniques used to overcome: Ask Mentor and the UCT to do the following:

– Update the .NetFrameWork to version 2.– Install the IIS Web Server.We found a solution to develop a webchart with ASP.NET. We have tried a small application to make sure it works.

Future Directions

The vision for the future– move to a public Web server– members will access the system directly.

This should reduce the work load for the manager and staff Add services and convenience for members. As the system grows it may also be necessary to migrate to a

more robust database such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL.

The system will be designed with the future in mind– application will scale as usage increases– additional functionality can be added easily.

Project Management

Development Team– Roles– Major Tasks– Project Plan

Conclusions

Development Team (Roles)

Team Leader (Mark)– organize team efforts– ensure that the team is satisfying all course requirements.

Webmaster (Mark, Jacqueline)– maintain the Project Web site.

DBA (Jacqueline, Hala)– design, document, implement, and maintain the project database.

Lead Programmer (Lawrence, Hala)– design the structure of the application modules– guide the coding efforts of other team members.

System Administrator (Hala, Lawrence)– evaluating the computers in the Fitness center & install software.

Technical Writer (Mark, Hala)– edit the documents produced by the team.

Development Team (Major Tasks)

Determine Requirements Evaluate existing application Choose Technologies for Implementation Design and Implement Prototype Create complete and detailed documentation Install system and train Fitness Zone staff

Development Team (Project Plan)

Conclusions

The project is going according to schedule The Requirements Analysis Phase is complete and

the Design Phase is well underway Implementation constraints encountered have been

resolved by consulting with our client, UCT officials and our advisor.

With MS IIS, ASP .NET with C#, and Access database, the team expects to develop an application that fully meets the user requirements.

The database may be migrated to a more robust system such as the SQL Server in the future
