Development of Electronic Learning Industrial Environment (eLIN) System for Requirement Engineering Education

Abstract

Requirement Engineering is an important process in Requirement phase of Software Development life cycle. Software Development project cannot be done without proper management of the requirement. All the requirement need to be log. It will be used for business analyst, stakeholder, programmer and team member. Unmanaged requirement will give a higher percentage of project failure. The requirement keeps on changing. For that reason, electronic Industrial Environment (eLIN) system will help the student in order to learn and manage the requirement. There are two (2) options in developing the eLIN system, that are Proprietary and Open Source software. Proprietary and Open Source software tools have a significant influence in software development nowadays. Software development projects face a problem in choosing a proprietary software tools because the cost is expensive and most companies have a tight budget to purchase it. To that reason, this paper will discuss on the eLIN system that can be supported to the PjBL in Requirement Engineering to enhance the undergraduate skill particularly. Future work should be carried out to design the framework of PjBL based on comparative study.

Electronic Learning Industrial Environment System (eLINS) for Academia-Industry Collaboration

“…In order to facilitate communication among the public users [2], the repository database uses MySQL which has the strength to store more than 1,999 data from public users. The database will be able to connect directly to the code that is using PhP.…”

“…PhP [9] was considered to be used in this development because it is an open source and the availability of this programming language can be used without the need for a license. Therefore, it is suitable for a university which is much more likely to start a development in software requirements without any cost [2]. All of the application servers and repository databases will be connected to the public user through the Internet (Wide Area Network) connection.…”

“…The purpose in including a working prototype into this research was to facilitate the Requirements Engineering Project-Based Learning (RE PjBL) [2]- [6]. Specifically, the eLINS was used to accommodate students in delivering the quality SRS and managing the teamwork and time needed to complete the project assigned by the lecturer.…”
