Desarrollo de una aplicación web/móvil para el control de asistencia a clases de docentes y estudiantes de la Facultad de Informática y Electrónica, ESPOCH.

Abstract

The current research work of graduation aimed at developing a computing system for the control of attendance to teachers and students (CatSys) of the Faculty of Information Technology and Electronics, Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), by means of geolocation. To fulfill with the aforementioned purpose, it was proceeded to apply observation and interview techniques, to the actors involved, together with the agile SCRUM methodology for the management and development of the project. The selected architecture for the web application was N layers, whereas, for the mobile application on Android was the design pattern; model, vista, controller; along with the style of architecture, Representational State Transfer (REST) on the server side. The implementation was done by utilizing the JAVA programming language with the frameworks JSF, bootstrap and the Primefaces component library. Jersey was used for the implementation of web services; whilst for geolocation, the application programming interface (API) of HTML5, API of Google Maps for Android and GPS; as a database manager, PostgreSql, and for deployment, an application server, GlassFish. CatSys, interacts with the web services provided by the OASis computer system, of the ESPOCH, to consume user data. The quality in use was evaluated, based on the ISO / IEC 25000 SQuaRe standard, through the evaluation of the factors of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction; obtaining a quality of 84%, as very satisfactory according to the measurement scale, furthermore, after the relevant analyzes, it was determined a decrease of 20% in the time involved in the attendance record and an improvement of 92% in the time of generation of reports, greatly facilitating the availability of immediate and reliable information. Due to the obtained results it is recommended to implement the system throughout the ESPOCH.
