Abstract

This present paper was aimed at graduates and administrative staff of School of System Engineering because the latter needs to have enough information of the graduates about post career profile, job situation and professional training. A graduate follow up-web system has been developed and implemented by using open source tools for the school mentioned above in order to get right, updated and clear information and this one can be used to accomplish the requirements demanded by the current Organic Law for Higher Education that says literally: Article 142. Graduate follow up-system “All institutions of system of higher public and particular education, should set out a graduate follow up-system and their results will be sent to be known by the Evaluation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education”. This web application was developed by using the extreme programming methodology (XP), defining user story, and engineering tasks, establishing a schedule of activities according to the times estimated by the software developer. In the iterations, we developed construction phase of this application with the help of the final user who was considered part of the teamwork due to functional criteria given for this project. This system helped the administrative staff of the school to get data automatically because it was possible to gather personal and professional information of the graduates by means surveys.
