Desarrollo de una aplicación web para la gestión de la información de un centro odontológico usando el framework Zend.

Abstract

In this present degree work, a web application was developed to manage the information of a dental center, which automated all the processes carried out in the same work from patients’ side as well as the treatment with their respective medical records, in order to facilitate the handling of information. The date was collected with some techniques such as interview, observation, review of documents development system, also it was used tools such as the text editor “Sublime Text” which it was codified on PHP programming language, using the Framework Zend to have a structured and ordered coding, like PostgreSQL data base, with Apache web server, and reports TCPDF was applied. It should be highlighted that Agile Scrum methodology was applied in order to develop the system accomplishing all the requirements and validate the efficiency, the ISO/IEC 9126 standard was adopted where the sub-characteristics such as response time and usage of resources were taken, for internal efficiency the metric resource was evaluated: the application I/O Message density and for external efficiency the memory and processor usage was analyzed. The results obtained from the evaluation were 89% of efficiency based on the efficiency established metrics standard, the response time was analyzed such as automated management with 5.5% and the traditional management with 100% and it means that the response time was reduced by 94.5% in carrying out the processes in the dental center. It is recommended that the application of Zend framework to the “IDE” itself, which represents the Zend Studio, this allows to obtain the skeleton or structure of the updated Zend and also facilitates the recognition of the syntax or libraries.
