METHODOLOGY
Requirements Specification
This section contains the detailed discussion of the technical and operational
requirements needed to install the Online Faculty Evaluation System for Binangonan
Catholic College.
Operational Feasibility
This feasibility study measures how well a proposed system solves the problems,
and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it can
organization adopt identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development.

Fish Bone Diagram

Fishbone diagrams can be defined as a diagram that shows the possible causes of
a specific event or a problem. The fishbone will help to visually display the many potential
causes for a specific problem or effect.

Functional Decomposition Diagram

Functional decomposition corresponds to the various functional relationships as
how the original complex business function was developed. It mainly focuses on how the
overall functionality is developed and its interaction between various components.

The client needs to upgrade their current installed hardware so the system may run to
their computer.

Schedule Feasibility
Schedule Feasibility is defined as the probability of a project to be completed
within its scheduled time limits, by a planned due date.

Gantt Chart

Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and
summary elements of a project.

Economic Feasibility

Cost and Benefit Analysis

An economic feasibility study reports on the cost factors of a proposed plan to an
organization. If, for example, an organization requires a feasibility study on its paymentprocessing techniques, the report may assess the cost factors involving the functions of
electronic funding, security measures and approvals applicable to both e-commerce and
regular transactions. With supporting data, the study would make a recommendation of
the benefits and areas of improvement for both types of transactions.

Deployment Diagram
The deployment diagram specifies a set of constructs that can be used
to define the execution architecture of systems that represent the assignment of
software artifacts to nodes. Nodes are connected through communication paths
to create network systems of arbitrary complexity.
