Objectives :

• Create an IT program
• Learn how to program
• Use the program

A systems development life cycle (SDLC) is composed of a number of clearly defined and discrete work phases which are used by engineers and developers to plan for, design, build, test, and deliver information systems.

SDLC is used during the development of an IT project, it describes the different stages involved in the project from the drawing board, through the completion of the project.

The main faces are:

• Analysis
• Designing
• Implementation
• Testing
• Deployment
• Maintenance

So far, we have completed the Analysis, the Designing, the Implementation and the Testing. We have also installed the main part of the program on a server machine and the client part on different machines. At the moment, Cyprus students are testing the system by inputting, removing and altering assets information.

The program is in progress to be installed in the other partners.

Oracle Written Program

After completing the first two faces, we have decided to procced to the next face (Implementation) using Oracle. An expert programmer teacher from the university of Limassol helped the students how to write the code. At the first steps of the coding we have encounter many difficulties such as an unfriendly environment of the oracle platform which made the design of the form even harder.

MySQL – C#

Having always in mind that the program must be design in such a way so almost everyone would be able to use it and one should not require special knowledge to run it, we have decided to use a different approach for the Implementation. For the database system, we have used MySQL to create a database file which includes all the necessary tables, and install it on a database server. For the forms and reports, we have used C# and an executable file was created and installed on all client machines.
