Property Management System

CHAPTER 1
Project Charter
1.0 Project Background

Property (also referred as equipment or tangible asset) that is used in
the operations of a business. Example of property includes land, building,
devices, machines, tools and vehicles. The Property Management System
(PMS) is designed to simplify the management of all the properties that the
company owns. It is designed with a user-friendly interface that is easy to
work with. It enables to track down the property easily which allows to
categorize, search, filter and locate the property quickly. PMS preventive
maintenance tracking monitors the status of equipment whether it is in good
condition, under repair, in-used or disposed. It also provides notifications for
the property manager to be updated with the properties monthly or annual
dues. In such ways, the Property Management System (PMS), a
computerized system will improve the overall efficiency of the HR and the
logistics department.
1.1 Problem Opportunity Description

In this section, the proponents discussed the problems that can be
resolved by the computerized system which is the Property Management
System (PMS). These are the following:
No administrator control
Property management system is for administrator. Without the
property management system, the administrator cannot accept
approval request for new item or property. The property management
system manages or controls buying, selling, and junk of the property or
item. Risking without an administrator control can affect the companys
operations and maintenance.
Service Management System - Property Management System
Unable to track down the property easily

It is difficult to track down the properties on whom or where it
place or used. Since most of the company still store documents in their
spreadsheets and cabinets, it is a problem to search through folders
and filing cabinets to get the information needed on-time.
Delaying of payments
Rental, license, insurance, lease and other payments that are
needed to pay are sometimes forgotten. It is one of many cases due to
lack of reminders because of hectic and time-phased schedule of a
personnel. Sticky-notes may be helpful for some instances but it was
not as effective as it can be. Delaying of payments will result higher
damage cost or penalty for the company.
Not detailed monitoring

Property number, name, description, image and etc. are the
information that can be showed when viewing the property, but there is
no information added on when the property repaired or how many
times that item repaired or who are the persons who already used that
particular item. Dealing with unexpected lost cannot be monitored
easily. Lost occurs when an equipment or asset that is expected to be
available is nowhere to be found. It could occur because a piece of
equipment was left at a job site or was misplaced by an employee. It
could also occur if an employee takes home an item at home and
forgets to return it.
1.2 Benefits
Property Management System provides a way to keep a log of all
activities associated with the assets of the company. It is one among the
most effective tool a company can get. When PMS is used effectively, the
positive side effects trickle down throughout a company, from the
management level to the mid-level coordinators to the employees on the
ground floor. It also helps make life easier for everyone who works in an
office building, day in and day out. The following stated below are a number
of the most important edges of PMS to its beneficiaries:
The Property Administrator/Manager

Property administrator/manager is the one who works on a daily
basis to handle myriad tasks that go along with running their buildings,
overseeing everything from the allocation of space and supplies to the
management of files on the computers. Managing an office building is
a Herculean task so it is a must to have software that can make his
work palatable. PMS is basically designed for the people-in-charge. It
can help him assure the high quality of both the equipment condition
and its performance. So PMS is not just a means of controlling
maintenance. It is a primary tool for improving maintenance
productivity.
The Employees
Every worker at every level of a company has a need to use
office resources efficiently, and PMS helps precisely with that. It will
increase productivity, by providing an easy to use, centralized point for
submitting requests for approval and automating the routing and
tracking process of property
It also helps to reduce time-consuming follow-up phone calls for request

status and more information. It can cut overtime significantly by reducing
the need for emergency maintenance and repairs. By scheduling
maintenance, maintenance staff can work more efficiently and effectively.
The Company
Computerized process lessens the work of the company
resulting to more comprehensive and reliable information. With the
help of passwords and other different safety options, PMS will able to
confirm that data has got to be confidential is kept confidential. Data is
compiled, stored, edited, and retrieved whenever needed. It lessens
paperwork, by which the PMS can capture the information instantly.
More benefits including less reliance on contractors, reduced
maintenance backlog, reduced cost per repair, improved morale,
better service and reduced follow-up required by supervisors.
The Proponents
PMS is a requirement for academic purposes that must be
created and developed by the proponents. It is a challenge for the
proponents on how will they to accomplish the task in the given date
and pass the subject. For the proponents it is not about the higher
grades they can get, but to create a functional and useful system to
develop their own programming, documentation skills and thinking
capabilities. The knowledge that the proponents learned from school
and perseverance they have had throughout the development is a
greater success for them to reach what they want in the IT industry.
1.3 Goals
This section describes the goals of the Property Management System
to be implemented, installed and addressed in finding the best solution to the
problem and these are the following:
Administrator (property / item)control function

The administrator function gets the control in managing
the approval of new item, disposal or for selling equipment
request. He can easily access the function needed.
Useful and reliable information

It will show all the needed information and categorize the
information depending on the users needs. It also has a history
record or report of the recent activities regarding the property.
Notification for payment

Avoid of delaying of payments. Monitor of the due date of
payments, the system will notify the user about the deadline of
payments before the due date happens
.
Detailed monitoring of property

All the information of the current property item should be
save, example of this is on where the item goes, the user
date, when the item repaired and until the item remove to
the company all the information involve in the company
was save.
Using the system and the database, the files are more secure
from unauthorized person. The needed information of property
is easy to locate or find by the personnel.
Property Management System is a monitoring system. It will show

all the needed information and categorize the information
depending on the users needs.
The proposed system automatically notifies the system user for

reminders like renewal of license and insurance to lessen the
delay of payments on the company.
1.4 Stakeholders and Clients

This section identifies the involvement of stakeholders and clients to
the project. They are the individuals, organizations and/or departments who
may have an interest in the outcome and will be affected by the project.
The Logistics Department

The logistics department is one of the stakeholders where the
proponents will be providing a computerized system, which is Property
Management System that can provide better tracking or monitoring of
property.
The Property Administrator/Manager

The property administrator/manager is the person who manages
the property that a company owns. He has the power to manage, control
and approve request of items. With the help of property administrator, the
proponents got a chance to know the business process of PMS.
The User
The user of the PMS is an employee or anyone who is authorized
to use it for company purposes.
The proponents
The proponents are the project team who were given a
responsibility to develop an enhanced and updated PMS. The project
study will measure the proponents patience and perseverance to meet
the requirements needed in order to produce efficient system.
The Proponents Adviser

The proponents adviser acts as a consultant to develop right
strategies in making the project study possible. He checks the
documentations and processes of the PMS to ensure correctness and
proper project as possible.
The Proponents School/Institution

The proponents school/ institution give the opportunity to prove
that the education it catered can compete globally. Through the schools
support and supervision premises, the proponents can do the project
study for their own good and academic purposes.
All stakeholders are not equal, every stakeholder has his own
expectations, and requirements, and he should be handled the way he
expects. Knowing them, their needs, expectations, and requirements
increase the chance of a projects success. If any important stakeholder is
missed
then
in
later
stages
the
project
manager
may
face
many difficulties e.g. causing a delay in project, cost overrun, and in the
most severe case the project may be terminated.
2. Project Scope
The Project Scope pertains to the work necessary to deliver a product.
The work and resources that go into the creation of the product or service are
essentially the things that frame the scope of the project. The scope of the
project outlines the objectives of the project and the goals that need to be met
to achieve a satisfactory result. To define the project scope of the PMS,
objectives, deliverables and out of scope are identified and described below.
2.1 Objectives
This section describes the components or parts of the Property
Management System to be accomplished. Objective statements on this
section will clarify and demonstrate the boundaries of the scope under the
PMS.
Those figures below are the diagrams representing the processes
and functions of the Property Management System (PMS).
Figure 2.1.1 Property manager approval function

In Property Management System (PMS) there are two important
administrator functions where he can manage, control or monitor buying
and disposing of item or property.
New item request

The Procurement System (PS) manages the entire request
from them.
After that, PS will send the detailed report to the
property management system. Inside that report are the needed

item, who requested, purpose, item supplier, price and etc. If the
request has been approved by the property manager then the
purchase order request will be send to the billing system to pay that
particular item.
Disposal
In disposal item, the report will be send by the Warehouse
Monitoring System (WMS). It manages the report about disposing
of item to the procurement. WMS will report the items or equipment
which are subject to or a candidate for disposal to property
management system. The report is being managed by the property
management if it is for selling or junk item. If the property manager
has decided to sell the item, Property Management System (PMS)
will send a report to procurement to report the billing. In junk item,
the property management will send a report to the procurement for
disposing the item.
Figure 2.1.2 Property maintenance and monitoring
Property management system (PMS) manage barrowing and

returning item, change the information in the database when taking
or giving back the item to the company.
Repair and Lost are also managed by the Property management

system (PMS). PMS send the report depending on what happen to
property.
Rental, HR dog and etc., are still manage by the property

management even if the item or property is not own by the
company as long as the property is under the liabilities of the
company the Property management system (PMS) will manage it.
10
Figure 3.Payment monitoring (assets and liability)
Monitoring of deadlines and other needed to pay that involves in the

property are still manage by the property management system. It will
notify or simply remind the user through notifications that will pop-up
days or week before the due date. Property management system is
responsible for the monitoring of due dates to lessen the penalties
when the deadline over.
Mobile Application of Property Management System
The Proponent will develop a mobile application for financial officer

or Property management Manager that will accept the request from
procurement process system. The mobile application will received
the information or request from the system and send the request
through internet connection. The mobile application will notify user
if she/he receive the request.
11
2.1.4 Property Management System (PMS) - Work Break Down Structure
12
The Work Breakdown Structure presented here represents all the

work required to complete this project which is the Property Management
System. The WBS for this project will be more aligned with the System
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) rather than focusing on the project
management process groups. This WBS will help the proponents to
understand the overall picture of what is going to happen next, without
having to be familiar with the project management processes.
2.2 Deliverables
13
Objective 1 - Property manager approval function

Project Deliverable
Work Products/Description
Administrator approval
The administrator approval will determine

the request whether to disapprove or
approve it. This form control the supply of
company in buying and selling property
New item request
These are the request for new item or

equipment for the company. It can be
approved and sent to the billing for
process, it can be ignored by the property
manager or stay on pending request,
disapprove the request and deleted from
the list.
Disposal
The part where the item or equipment is

needed to be disposed due to malfunction
or not being use for a long time. It can be
reported as disposal property but still the
report will be send to the Property
manager to approve it before the report is
process.
Selling
If the Property manager approved the

report about selling that particular
property, those reports will be sent to the
procurement to find a buyer.
Objective 2 - Property maintenance and monitoring
14
Project Deliverable
Property maintenance
It involves the maintenance of item or

equipment. Such as return, repair and
lost. Monitor the information of property in
the database.
Maintenance and monitoring
Maintaining and monitoring the item or

property status, checking of records.
Objective 3 - Payment monitoring (assets and liability)
Project Deliverable
Yearly payment
These are the expenses that were

needed to pay annually. Avoiding the
delaying of payment this form show the
detail about the year payments which
involve to any property. Examples of
those payments are renewal of license,
insurance and etc.
Monthly payment
These are the expenses that were

needed to pay monthly. . Avoiding the
delaying of payment this form show the
detail about the monthly payments which
involve to any property. Example of those
payment are the monthly rental and
monthly maintenance or checking of the
property
2.3 Out of scope

15
This section describes the items or functions that may be related to

the Property Management System, but it will not be managed as part of the
project. The following items are defining the out of scope under the Property
Management System (PMS):
Dont have the list of suppliers and the price for item.
Property management system (PMS) doesnt have the lists of all
the suppliers and buyers of property. The procurement has it.
Billing
When it comes in buying and selling, the payments are not
under by the property management. Property management is about
the logistic or supply not about the financials.
Delivery monitoring
Any transaction before the item was saved in the database is
not managed by the Property management system. So the delivery
date and time and other information are not under by the property
management.
Adding new property to the database

Warehouse can save information based on the request came in
the property, because they monitor the item after the transaction.
Assigning of property
16
Procurement and warehousing manage the request and save

new item information to the database then assign the property to the
user or giving any item to an employee.
`Stock monitoring
Since the procurement system manages about the request for
the company needed item and assigns the property to the user. They
are also responsible for the monitoring of stock in the company.
Managing and creating request

The procurement manages the request from the HR and creates
the detailed report if there is no available item in the database. Notify
the property manager for the new property item needed to buy.
3. Project Plan
The project plan defines the what, when, and who questions of system
development including all activities to be performed, the individuals, or
resources, who will perform the activities, and the time required to complete
each activity.
3.1 Approach and methodology

17
In this section, the proponents decide to use the System

Development Life Cycle (SDLC), primarily the waterfall approach that
must be considered and come together in order to develop a successful
project study. The SDLC is one approach to reduce the risk of failure. The
following are the phases which describe the methods used:
System Planning
In this phase, PMS is planned using a strategic approach. The
proponents evaluate the effectiveness in terms of meeting the entitys
mission and objectives. This process includes general guidelines for
system selection and systems budgeting. The plan will change in a few
months, but much evidence exists that such planning pays dividends in
terms of effective IT solutions over the long term. During this phase,
several documents will be generated. They include the long-term plan,
and short-term IT budget, as well as preliminary feasibility studies and
project authorizations. Project proposals should have been documented
when submitted to PEC.
System Analysis
In the system analysis phase, the proponents gather information
requirements for the PMS. Facts and samples to be used in the project
are gathered primarily from end users. A systems analyst or developer
then processes the requirements, producing a document that summarizes
the analysis of the project. The result is some kind of documentation, such
as a systems analysis report. In effect, systems analysis illustrates the
entitys ability to be thorough with its systems development.
System Design
18
During this phase the proponents analyze and design the system.
Using Diagram and other methods, it will show the blue print of the
system. Certain types of documentation created include use cases,
Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, entity relationship diagrams
(ERDs), relational models and normalized data diagrams. The proponents
did a walk-through of the software or system to see if any defects in the
system can be detected during development. That walk-through was also
documented. The proponents also identified the hardware and software
that will be using throughout the project. It is a requirement for the
proponents to use Java Programming Language for the front-end and MS
SQL for the back-end which is implemented by PEC.
System Implementation
During this phase the proponents are going to finalize the PMS,
prepare the executable or installer of system and database to be tested by
individuals or organization. If errors or bugs occur, it is the proponents
responsibility to refine the system. Implementation takes place after
performing test plan and condition. After passing the requirements, the
system is ready to be distributed to a company.
System Operation, Support and Maintenance

It is the final phase of the system development effort. Monitor and
support the new system to ensure it continues to meet the business goals.
The proponents are required to monitor the PMS at least once a month
after the implementation to make sure that it brings correct process and can
stay for a longer life span.
19
3.2 Project Timeline

21
3.3 Success Criteria

In this part of documentation, the proponents discussed the success
criteria that servers as a basis/ guide for the system to meet its goal and
objectives. It can be used to determine the success of the system and its
functionalities. Success criteria is the basis of good system it show the
characteristics of good system.
3.3.1 Accessibility- the system must be accessible for the authorize
personnel of the company such us admin and in charge Employee can do
when using it. It must be understandable or easy to manage by the user.
3.3.2 Accurate- Handles transaction correctly without discrepancies in any
form must be accurate.
22
3.3.3 Useful and timely information- the information must be up to date

whether daily weekly and monthly or even annually it can produce reliable
report for meeting or any case situation needs.
3.3.4 Efficient- the system must be fast and quality -assured. It should be
strong during employees peak hours to avoid disruption of work and
inconvenience to the customer.
3.3.5 User friendly- it means that the system must be easy to understand
and use whether the user is well knowledgeable
3.3.6 Reliable- the information shown in the system must be correct.
Theres a big problem if the information want to see by the user is different
from there what expected.
3.4 Issues and Policy Implementation
In developing an integrated system, there are issues that surely happened
before or during the finalization of the transaction between the other
subsystems.
3.4.1 Misinterpretation of system process- Probably the most common
issue that usually occurred. This is cause of unfamiliarity with the system
title itself thats why research is needed to be done to clarify what the
system for.
3.4.2 Distribution of transactions- In distribution of transaction to one
system to another it had been made a conflict situation on how will one or
two transactions affect the whole process of the system. It was decided
that every transaction that will be having the same role, connection or
function with other subsystem must undergo consultations and doublechecking.
3.4.3 Connectivity of subsystem to another subsystem- It is said to be
the complicated part of integration. This may vary from two to three
23
subsystems that are really connected by main of transaction testing the

highest possibility of errors during data and transaction sharing can trigger
the transaction process.
3.4.4 Data sharing- Subsystem shared one to two databases from one
server. This kind of integration was the challenging part for the proponents
of each group that must be critically plan before doing it on hand.
3.5 Risk Management Plan

Risk management plan identifies the factors that can affect the outcome of
the project including major dependencies on other events or actions. In this
section, the proponents identify the risks and its impact on the project.

3.6 Service Transition

These are the requirements in using the propose system into the client
company:
Client should have computer(s) to operate the system.
Clients computer must have higher specification in hardware and

software to avoid the problem in implementation process
Client must have knowledgeable user to run and manage the system
3.7 Options Analysis

In this section describe the alternative options that have been
considered as other approaches prior to the work that have been made any
importance between the client and the proponents.
The client has the right to decide whether they used the
Property Management System or still using the existing system.
If the system was rejected, the proponents have the authority to

sell it to other client/s prior to the rights and authorship of the
proponents.
25
If the system met the requirements and did hit the project
budget, the cost savings will be settled according to the deal
between the client and the proponents.
If the system has been remarkably compared to other system

with lacking of the functionalities that has been expecting, the
client have the rights to question the system and it is the duty of
the proponents to fix the problem respectively.
4.0 Technical Features

In this section, the proponents identified the possible technical features
that will be needed to develop the Service Management System Property
Management System successfully. Technical features provide the possible
identification and description of the applications, software, hardware,
features, peripherals and some devices that will support the HRMS. The
following are the possible technical features under HRMS:
Front - End: Java Netbeans IDE 7.3 version

Java is one of the best programming languages for developing
system software. The proponents will use the Java Net beans 8.0 for
developing the front-end of the PMS. The PEC is requiring the proponents
for using only Java language for the PMS project.
Back End: MS SQL

The MS SQL will serve as the back-end of the PMS. This
application is the database of the HRMS that will store all of the data and
information coming from the front-end of the PMS. Although there are
many of the database application to choose from, the proponents will use
the MS SQL as a part of requirements given by the PEC panels.
26
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit/ 32bit / Windows 8

The proponents will use Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating
system to develop the PMS. This is very commonly used operating system
today for desktops and laptops.
Memory Capacity: 2GB RAM

The memory capacity of the laptop or desktop must be at least 2GB
to avoid system error like loading of the applications.
HDD Capacity: 320GB

This is the capacity of the laptop that the proponents currently using
to develop the PMS. The applications like Java Netbeans and MS SQL
requires a huge amount of storage capacity.

CHAPTER 2
Related Studies and Systems
2.0 Introduction
In this chapter, it will show the originality and relevance of the
proposed system from the systems that had been researched. It is important
for a project to have a review of related studies to highlight difference in
opinions, contradictory findings or evidence, and the different explanations
given for their conclusions and differences by different authors.

2.1.2 Facilities Management Software
Managing assets is a critical component to the operations of any
facility or property. eMaint building maintenance software provides the
ability to identify, track, locate and analyze all of your corporate assets.
The asset explorer provides a user-definable "tree" view of assets, making
it easy to locate by the location, type, system or any other hierarchical
setting you choose. Keeping track of assets and their changing locations
is a challenge. eMaint gives you the ability to track asset locations so you
know where it is, where it's going and where it's been.
eMaint's web-based facilities maintenance software and property
maintenance software systems provide point and click access to all labor
and material costs right at the asset level. Gathering of all these costs is
accomplished through our powerful work order system.
32
Work Order Management

The eMaint Work Order center allows you to provide technicians
with a planned job, the proper procedures and the necessary parts and
tools they need to work without delays or interruptions. Labor, parts and
purchases are easily tracked on the work order, allowing you to quickly
analyze the costs associated with facility maintenance management.
With eMaint, you'll be able to calculate response time and
completion rates, track performance, and provide a feedback mechanism
to keep your internal customers aware of the status of their work requests.
Service Request and Maintenance Request Software

Work requests - whether from owners, tenants, staff, students,
teachers, customers -- are at the cornerstone of operations and facility
management. Let's face it: there shouldn't be a "one size fits all solution"
to managing work requests. For some organizations, simplicity is the key.
Our "You've got work" feature makes submitting work requests as easy as
sending an email. Other organizations require a more robust solution. The
"My Requests" feature not only provides a customizable form for detailed
entry of the request, it provides a requester control panel to view the
status of pending, open and past work.
Vendor Portal for Secure Access

The optional vendor portal feature makes it easy for vendors and
outside contractors to acknowledge receipt of work details assigned to
them, update labor, material and other costs upon completion of the work,
and attach documents and images to the work order.
33
Each vendor is assigned a unique login that grants them access

only to the information you choose to share with them in a fully
customizable view.

EIS PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
3.1
Risk Mitigation, Monitoring and Management Plan

1.0
Description
This section gives a general overview of the Risk Mitigation,
Monitoring and Management Plan for the subsystem Property
Management System (PMS)
1.1
Scope and Intent of RMMM activities

Risks on software development project must be
successful software system. Lack of defined approach to risk
management is one of the common causes for project
failure. To improve project chances for success, this work
investigates possible risk impact areas to perceive a
foundation that can be used to define a common approach to
software risk management.
1.2
Risk Management Organizational Role

Stakeholders who are involved in the system
development also have corresponding responsibilities or role
in managing the risk. If only if everyone did their role before
or during the system development.
61
Software development can avoid risk by determining what

really is included in the subsystem, product size and
clarifying what can the subsystem do for the user.
The proponents can avoid risk by keeping themselves

informed and knowledgeable about the project theyre
working into.
The company that had been interviewed can help avoid the
risk by providing all necessary information about the
business process of the system.
The proponents can avoid the risk by estimating earlier on

how much will it takes in making the project to provide
sufficient resources for it.

Risk Description
This section describes the risks that are likely to be encountered in
this project.
2.1

will focus on the available resources and keep an eye
on new technology offered. The activities that have
been settled will be checked if the strategy that the
proponents used is effective or not. Keeping an eye to
the progress is applicable.
3.2.2 Customers Risk

In monitoring the risk, in case that the
information that we gather is not accurate in the
information that the proponent needed, the proponent
well be going to find alternative bases information that
we can include in to the development of the system
like comparing the process or procedure into the co
integrated system.

meeting to the client to identify what kind of process,
67
procedure and features the client what to happen in

the development of the system.

3.3 Risk Management for Risk m

3.3.1 Development risk
In the management phase, if the resources and
strategies used did not work out well in the software
development. The proponents will use another
approach or methods to finish the desired output of
the project.

3.3.2 Customer Risk

In managing the Risk, wrong information
process, the proponent must to analyze the risk then
change a possible problems that the proponents my
encountered
3.3.3 Process Risk
In Managing the process risk about the
advisers compile the proponents must have to
change said changes base on the complained of the
adviser for the development of the system.
3.3.4 Business Risk
To manage this risk the client complained, the
proponent must also have to change the system
based on the said changes that the client want for the
development of the system.
3.3.5 Employee Risk
As managing the risk of negligence of the
members, each proponents of the team must have to
set a meeting to talk about the recently happen in to
your team, and to make sure that in the next phase of
the development the problems that you encountered
will never happened again. Or simply the proponent
can handle it much better
3.3.6 Employee risk
In managing the miscommunication of the
members, the proponent must have discussion about
the process of the proposal system.

3.2 Software Configuration Management Plan

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Scopes and Intent of SCM Activities
The purpose of SCM is to know the changes and upcoming
changes to the project. Determine the scope and out of scope of the
system. Guide us to lessen the mistakes. Any changes will result into a
big change to the output or small, it depends on the changes. Changes
into the project have a negative effect to the team. Example of this is
when you change your transition on system it cost time delay, budget
and added task to the member meaning to say SCM in a useful guide
for the developing team.
SCM activities are develop to
Identify change
Control chance
Make sure the change properly implement
Also have a way to document the change.
1.2 SCM Organizational Role

The person or organization involved in the changes, who lead to
the rightful process for developing the propose system.

2.0 SCM Tasks

In this section the team will try to detailed all important SCM task will
assign for each member. Doing their own task will lessen the changes in the
system.
Ramos, Christian Joseph D.o Project planner, initiating the plan,

manage the group and leader of the team.
.- Document specialist grammar and
document expert
- System analyst, transition ,design
and process
- researcher, who gathered the
information
Arizapa, Michelle Q.
- Lead programmer , the coder for the
system
2.1 Identification
In this section, the proponents discussed about the software
configuration and identify the SCM plans
2.1.1 Description
71
Identify the changes- the proponents suggest changes in the

development of the system, gather information and more interviews
to identify what are the most important changes that we have to put
in the software development and to figure out if the changes are
necessary to do for the software development.
Approve changes the proponents think of having a control when
it comes to changes in the software development. In that way,
organizing the group members and giving them a specific role in
the software development is important for us. In this case your job
title is your only job in this development you cannot allow to change
something in the development unless if it is needed and important.
But before doing some changes you have to talk to the rest of the
proponents.
Ensure the changes is being properly implemented in this

case if there are changes in the software development the
proponents must have to spend time to check and make sure that
the changes is
properly implemented to finalize the software
development.
Document changes since the software have changes, the
proponents must also have to change the documentation
specifically the contents. Revision is also a consideration.
2.1.2 Work products and documentation

Identify the changes Once the changes are identified, a change
request form will be produced and will be sent to all proponents
72
Approve changes After evaluating the proponents, you have to

change the request form, change report from will be generated.
Ensure the changes are being properly implemented.
Document changes Once the changes are provided, the
proponents will document the changes in the library. And they will
change the software version number if it is necessary.
2.2 Configurationally control
2.2.1 Description
Steps in controlling the changes
Analyze the changes in the system.
By using Diagram show the new process.
Implementation to the system.
2.3 Version Control

2.3.1 Description
In this section it describes about the system changes. As we, the
proponents, innovations of system in every change are in our plan.
Encountering those changes will make the project perfect in the
end.
2.3.2 Increasing Version number Back up existing file or project.
Bug Fix Minimal system component changes
Minor Updates Design Changes
Major Updates Process Changes
73

Documentation or reports of any changes for the project
study including the date and name of the person/s involved in
changes in the project.
2.4 Configuration Status Accounting (CSA)

There are two ways to communicate the developer two know the
unexpected changes in the project.
2.4.1 Description
Verbal communication Verbal communication between those

member or developer when reporting those changes
Mobile phone and social media network this method of

communicating the developer is when they are not in the same
location.
Report all the changes using verbal or mobile phone
Analyze by the developer the situation.
Feedback
Then documentation of changes.
3.3 Software Quality Assurance Plan

1.0 Introduction
In this section will discuss the Software Quality Assurance Plan
(SQA) for the Property Management System (PMS)
74
SQA is about the activities and issues in performing the

development process on time with the right process and more
useful to the client.
The SQA Plan by the developing team will lead the group for better
and more comprehensive develop Software to achieve the goal
perfectly and impress the client.
1.1 Scope and Intent of SQA activities

Objectives of SQA are:
Gather all information
Software documentation
Multi System testing.
Process refining.
1.2 SQA Organization Role

The proponents are in the small group, only 5 members. So
the group decided to use Ego-less structure.
SQA.Figure.1 Ego-less structure is a style of computer programming in
which personal factors are minimized so that quality may be improved. This style
suit for the proponents because the team have 5 members only
75
Project manager- Ramos, Christian Joseph De Ocampo
Document Specialist Visitacion, Clarisa Llego
System Analyst Amacio, Chanie De Guzman
Business Analyst Bacay, Kenneth Ramos
Lead programmer- Arizapa, Michelle Quintela
Small group advantage and disadvantage:

Advantages
Easy to communicate among the group members because of
minimal member
Project manager can monitor all the works of the member
76
Disadvantages
Too many task or role for each group member. For example
System analyst he/she also the designer and process analyst of the
system.
Lack of funds
This statement shows the cost of correcting an error.

Initialization and Design: encounter errors (high)
Coding and Development process: encounter errors (moderate)
System client Test and Field Operation: encounter errors (zero
possibilities)
If SQA plan is executed perfectly it will lessen the group

errors or much better if the system had free for any errors. In the
First step the errors that the group in counter is high it is reasonable
but it will lessen during the second step of the process and the last
step definitely the system is free from error.
2.0 SQA Tasks

Task for the SQA
Interview to the possible client
Meetings and brainstorming of group ideas.
77
2.1 Task Over view

The task for the SQA describe above is the objective of group
needed to perform in order to save time, cost and design, minimizing
the errors in the system.
2.2 Standard, Practices and Conventions (SPC)
Interview to the possible client
Interview to the possible client meaning to say. Gather

information to the organization with the same process as your
project to get there process and featured.
In the interview will discuss the process ,problem and added

1.0 Introduction
This section gives a general overview of the Property Management
System (PMS)
1.1
Goals and Objectives

Accomplishing all task that given to the proponents and make the
project useful for the client. Make the user of the project system can
understand the process of the system and know the function of the
Property management to the Service management system
Administrator (property and item)control function

administrator manage the request for the new item and
disposal item or property the system will direct to the
administrator form to view and accept or not accept
before the request goes to the procurement system.
Detailed monitoring item of property

81

payments, the system will notify the user about the
deadline of payments before the due date happen.

information depending on the users needs.
1.2
System Statement of Scope

The general statement of the intent of the software (system)
should be provided here. What information is proposed, what major
functions are implemented and what data are provided as input to
property management
1.2.1 General Requirements
The following statements will discuss the features and
requirements of the proposed system, Property Management
System (PMS).
The propose system should have database to save the

files
The propose system should monitor the status of

property
The propose system should record the user of property
The propose system should remind or notify if theres a n

up coming due date or payments related in the property
management
Administrator function for approval of buying and selling

new item.
82
The propose system should categorize the report needed

base of the user need.
Interface Enhancements The project team create a simple but

functional design to make the system is easy to handle or to use by
the user but still all the process needed are in the system.
1.3
System Context
The proposed system of the proponents is still in developing
stage to make sure that the system is free from errors and capable
to do all the process needed by the user. The proposed system is
for academic purposes only.
1.4
Major Constraints
Time
The proponents only have 4 months to finish the project
documents so the proponents will avoid unnecessary use of time.
The proponent maximize the time in constructing of the Detailed
Design Report (DDR) to make sure the system process is correct
and functional.
Funding
Funds are important to run the project without the funds the
project cannot be done. The proponent has limited funds so
budgeting plan is important for the group.
Man power
83
Each of the proponents has their own responsibility to the

project to accomplish the system. Considering that there are only
five members in the team, completion of tasks may be not a
hundred percent for some reasons like tardiness, unwanted
situations or sickness.

This process is not a main function of the system. This
process is for viewing of detailed information of item.
85
Reply for disapprove reports.

The property manager or financial officer has a reply
process to the sender, it discuss about the reasons why the
report was disapprove.
Detailed monitoring of properties.
All the report about the property will be send to the property
and manage it. That informations comes from procurement and
warehouse. The information they reported will add to the involve

2.2
Full control (Financial officer/ Property management Manager)
Read/write/modify all (Property management staff)

Use Cases
Read/Write/Modify All Users
This level of users can, remove and update data from the
system. this level can send letter for the report of lost, repair and
the payment for property.
Full Control Users
The administrative level has the full access in the system
and its setting. This level of users controls any process of the
system. The decision that comes from other subsystem will also
manage by the full control users.

Restrictions, Limitations and Constraints

Time
The proponents only have 4 months to finish the project so the project
team will avoid un-necessaries use of time.
Funding
Having enough funds for the development of the proposed system
is clearly one of the major constraints. Insufficiency of funds could affect
the system and to the proponents to continue.
Man power
Each of the proponents has their own task throughout the
development of the system. Considering that there are only five members
in the team, completion of tasks may be not a hundred percent for some
108
6.0
Validation Criteria
The proponents validate information by testing the system and
database. Connection of database to system is the first checking. Access

of system to the database we use a pop up message that show the status
of connection of system to the database. The pop up message show
message depend if the connection successful or not. But if the connection
was field it show the errors and where the errors to configure it or debug
the codes and solve the problem.
The proponent validate also if the data from system is successfully
save to the database. Again the proponent use pop up message to locate
the error or show positive result. To clarify or make sure the data was
saved the proponent use table that show the whole information of
database for the user viewing
If theres a saving process there also a update and modify process to know the
validation the proponent also use the technique in saving data from database

4.1 Interface Design Rules

Interface design focuses on three areas of concern:
1. The design of interfaces between software modules;
2. The design of interfaces between the software and other nonhuman
producers and consumers of information
3. The design of the interface a human and the computer
4. Easy to learn
5. Readability
6. Easy to navigate between interfaces

Restriction, Limitation and Constraints

Time
Time is so far the biggest restriction or constraints for the proponents
to developed the proposed system. The proponents only have an
approximately five months to finish the entire project. It is very important
for the proponents to watch the time to spend over the phase of the
software development project. The proponents could have included many
components to the project like online HRMS but time restricts the project
team from doing so.
Employee Skills
Skills in computer programming and design skills are also one of
the restrictions. It does not have as big of an impact on the project as time
but it sure does limit the proponents from doing more addition to the
project functions and components.
6.0
Testing Issue
To validate the system we need to test it with another process.
During the testing of connection, the project team concerned about the
data from another process must be correct. Getting wrong data from other
process make the project system did not work properly.
6.1
Classes of test
System Interface
The proponents will create an interface easy to operate and
understand design must be compose of tables, buttons, text field
pictures and menus.
123
The proposed system is basically made up of major

components that the proponents are required to do so. It will use
Java Netbeans for front-end and MS SQL for back-end.
Login Form
Start of the process, in this form categorized the user of the
system, Login name and password Field must have correct
information to proceed to the next process based on the level user
Main home
Admin form shows the function that the admin of company
can do this Form link to many processes of system, main function
purchase order request, reports and management personnel.
Payment
Notification form shows all the reminders for payment it can
be yearly, monthly or weekly notification about the thing needed to pay for
example of this is the renewal of license gun and vehicle. The proposal project
automatically shows all the needed reminders about the property.
New item Request

This form is also the main process. Purchase Order Request
form is a letter for needed item need to buy and send it to
procurement process this process only manage by the admin.
Disposal
Report form is the list of transaction of property management
it can generate needed reports and can only manage by the admin
only.
124
Black Box Testing:

This is also known as Behavioral Testing, is software testing method in
which the internal structure/design/implementation of the item being tested is not
known to the tester. These tests can be functional or non-functional, though
usually functional.
This method of attempts to find errors in the following categories:
Incorrect or missing functions
Interface errors
Errors in data structures or external database access
Behavior or performance errors
Initialization and termination errors
6.2
Performance Bounds
The proponents have to setup a certain performance bounds or
criteria for the PMS so that by following those criteria, the proponents will
be able to maintain quality, user friendliness and usability of the software.

Identification of Critical Components

User Access
The proponents will make sure that the accessibility of the system
is limited if only if the person is an authorized user for the system.
Print Generator
Making sure that the reports that can be generated into print-outs is
correct. The reports should generate right amount of data and can be
accessed in different type of document formats.

3.7 Test Specification.

1.0
Introduction
This section gives a general overview of the test Specification for the
Property Management System (PMS).
1.1

The objective of the PMS is to provide the user an easy and
convenient way to access their data and generate useful reports.
The goal of the proponents is to do the right thing, though
perfection is what everyone wants but to do the right thing for a
purpose is more powerful than anything.
Many constraints will be applied to the system. The testing

process for PMS has a number of goals and will be thoroughly
tested for logic errors and coding bugs. In addition to testing bugs,
PMS will also test the friendliness of the user interface to ensure
that it is of the utmost quality: efficient, powerful, and user-friendly.
1.2
Statement of Scope
An overall plan for integration of the software and a
description of specific tests are documented in this section. Below
are the different kinds of tests that the team will take to ensure the
quality of the software.

Major Constraints
In this section the proponents discussed the related constraints that
can affect the testing.
1. The proponents has limited time to meet the clients for testing
purposes
2. The proponents may encounter insufficiencies of funds
3. The proponents only got five members in a group.
2.0
Testing Plan
The proponents want the PMS to be bug free and lesser error on
the processes. The proponents also want to make sure that there are no
defects in the system. This is the reason why the proponents have to
spend large amount of the total software development time on the testing.
The following are the description of the testing procedure and strategy.
128
The proponents also be presenting the timing and scheduled of the tests
to be carried out.
2.1
Software (SCIs) to be tested

Testing Strategy
In the following section, the proponents will describe the testing
strategy and will use four different methods to test the proposed system
2.2.1 Unit Testing
This type of testing is performed by the proponents before
the setup is handed over to the testing team to formally execute the
test cases. Unit testing is performed by the respective proponents
on the individual units of source code assigned areas. The
developers use test data that is separate from the test data of the
quality assurance team.
130
The goal of unit testing is to isolate each part of the program

and show that individual parts are correct in terms of requirements
and functionality.
2.2.2 Integration Testing
The testing of combined parts of an application to determine
if they function correctly together is Integration testing. There are
two methods of doing Integration Testing Bottom-up Integration
testing and Top down Integration testing.
After all individual modules have been unit tested, and are properly
functioning, they will be put together to form a program. This
program will then be tested for general errors including compiler
and runtime errors, input errors, and efficiency. Any errors will be
corrected at this stage. If the program is inefficient in some
computation, the cause of the inefficiency will be isolated and fixed,
whether it be at the unit level or the integration level.
2.2.3 Validation Testing
As the program is starting to take shape, lead programmers
will make sure it adheres to customer guidelines. If any guideline
cannot be followed exactly, then the program will be modified to suit
the nearest reasonable alternative.
2.2.4 High-order Testing
PMS will be system tested to ensure that all programming
packages integrate with each other as intended, and that the final
software is integrated well into the native environment.
Alpha testing will follow, where the software interface will be
delivered to a few people to test. The alpha testers will use the
131
software as it was intended, to make sure no problems exist. Here

any issues with the interface, computation, or graphs will be fixed.
The software will then be tested for security and performance.
During security testing, we will attempt to run known exploits
against the interface and test security of the software. Security is
vital to a user interface, so as to keep user data confidential, and so
any security issues will be given special attention. During
performance testing we will test the runtime performance of the
software and make sure that the interface performs well in a variety
of conditions.
2.3 Testing Resources and Staffing
The proponents will use several different resources to carry
out the test on the PMS. Since the time is a part of project
constraint, the proponents will try to use help from everyone that is
essential to take the responsibility and evaluate the software during
the testing phase.
- The Company Staff
- The Proponents
- Laptop / Desktop
- Software Applications
2.4
Test Record Keeping

Test record keeping and test work products are described in
section 3.4 of the test specification document. For more information
regarding these topics, please refer to section 3.4 of the Test
specification Document.
132
2.5
Testing tools and Environment

Java Netbeans will be used as testing tools as well as the testing
environment. As stated above, a test date will be constructed for unit and
integration testing.
2.6

3.2.4 High Order Testing

The high-order testing procedure is specified. For each of the high
order tests specified below, the test procedure, test cases, purpose,
specialized requirements and pass/fail criteria are specified. It
should be noted that not all high-order test methods noted in
Sections 3.2.4. will be conducted for every project.
3.2.4.1 Recovery testing
No recovery testing will be required. Since all the data are
accessed using a web browser, in the event of a system crash,
the user can always reboot their computer and log in to the
website again and reload everything.
3.2.4.2 Security testing
Security will be tested thoroughly. Only registered and
authorized users should be allowed access to use the analysis
functions provided by PMS
139
3.2.4.3 Stress testing

Different sizes of data will be tested. Amount of user flow will
also be tested. The PMS should be able to allow a reasonable
amount of user to use the website at the same time without
causing any traffic and loading speed of the website.
3.2.4.4 Performance testing
A timer will be set for each report generated. These times will be
recorded and studied to see if the software is sufficient enough
to handle all types of reports the users might request on
different size of data.
3.2.4.5 Alpha/beta testing
Alpha testing will be based on the software developers.
Members of the team will each go through the website
thoroughly and use the analysis functions on a testing database
to ensure quality and correctness.
Beta testing will be public. Selected pre-registered users will be
given a username and password and their data will be loaded to
the database. They will each go through the website and submit
a report of any bugs, ease of use, and as well as their opinions
about the PMS.
3.2.4.6 Pass/fail criterion for all validation tests
If there are many complaints and errors of the website, it will not
pass the test.
140
3.3 Testing Resources and Staffing

The proponents have a limited manpower to be able to test the
PMS properly. This is the reason why the proponents will use help
from several different people to be able to tests the functionalities of
the PMS. The following are the people that involves in this task.
1. Client Staff / Employees

The proponents ask for help to test the PMS with the
participation of the security agency personnel. The employees /
staff are allowed to use the full function of the PMS as part of its
validation testing. The employee tries to add the aspiring
applicant and then be able to save the info of the employee. The
employees are allowed to record any errors that they encounter
during the software testing on hand.
2. Handheld PC / Desktop / Laptop

The proponents will have to use the clients PC or laptops after
installing the PMS. This will allow the user / employee to test the
PMS with one or more tester at the same time. With this, the
data from one computer to the other are also identified through
the system integration functionalities of PMS.
3. Error Reporting
The proponents provide a reports manual on which the
employee and staff are required to list down the error and bugs
that they may encounter during the testing activity.
3.4 Test Record Keeping and Log
A test record keeping document will be used to evaluate immediate test
result for each of the testing. For example:
