CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 introduction
The main objectives of literature review are to establish to a gap which this project is intend to fill
and clarify the term that will be used in this project including the main definitions, Literature
review means collecting related data, analyzing business process, identifying patterns and create
the conclusion.
2.2 Definition of keys terms

2.2.1 music studio management
Music studio management encompasses the efficient oversight and coordination of activities
within a music studio environment, leveraging technology, established procedures, and policies to
optimize resource utilization, enhance user experience, and facilitate revenue generation while
mitigating operational challenges and congestion.
2.2.2 User interface (UI)

The graphical interface that allows users to interact with the online system, providing a user-
friendly and intuitive experience
2.2.3 User-centered design

User-centered design will be employed in the development of the music gallery system, placing
the needs and preferences of users at the forefront. Through user research, personas, and user
journey mapping, the system will be customized to meet the specific requirements of artists, music
enthusiasts, and administrators. Prototyping, usability testing, and iterative design will be utilized
to create an intuitive and user-friendly system that enhances the overall user experience.
2.2.4Management
The management can be explained by the organization and coordination of the activities of a
business in order the archive defined objectives. Management is often included as a factor of
production along with machines, materials and money with human being desire. (lucey, terry,
2005)
5
2.2.5 System
System is an organized, purposeful structure that consists of interrelated and interdependent
elements (components, entities, factors, members, parts etc.). These elements continually influence
one another (either directly or indirectly) to maintain their activity and the existence of the system,
in order to achieve the goal of the system. All systems have inputs, outputs and feedback
mechanisms, maintain an internal steady-state (called homeostasis despite a changing external
environment and have boundaries that are usually defined by the system observer. (david, 2015)
2.2.6 Service Management System (SMS)

A Service Management System (SMS) is a software application used to manage and track service
requests, including service desk support, maintenance, and repairs. It helps businesses optimize
their service delivery processes and improve customer satisfaction.
2.2.7 Information system

Information system is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and process data and
for providing information, knowledge, and digital products. Business firms and other organizations
rely on information systems to carry out and manage their operations, interact with their customers
and suppliers, and compete in their marketplace. Information systems are used to run inter-
organizational supply chains and electronic market. (valacich, 2008)
2.2.8 Database
As said by Robbins database is a collection of related data. The database will help us to store all
information related to the design and implementation of task management information system. The
data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes
requiring this information (Robbins, 1994, 1995).
2.2.9 PhpMyAdmin
PhpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of
MySQL over the World Wide Web. PhpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations with
MySQL. The most frequently used operations are supported by the user interface (managing
databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc.), while you still have the ability
to directly execute any SQL statement. This graphical interface allows you to add, edit and create
data in a database with ease. PhpMyAdmin program is handy for performing maintenance
6
operations on tables, backing up information, and editing things directly in the event that your
scripts are not working. occasionally, in the support forums, someone will post a SQL, query of
some benefit or other that can be run using PhpMyAdmin
2.3.0 management information system(mis)

Management information system (MIS) refers to complementary networks of hardware and
software cooperating to collect, process, store, and disseminate information in order to support the
managerial role of levering information technology to increase business and value and profit. For
business MIS is a computerized database of financial information organized level management

CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY
3.0 Introduction
This chapter explains methods which are used to collect data during research and software tools
used to collect data and information for the purpose of making decision. The methodology may
include publication research interview, surveys and other research techniques. This chapter also
describes the system development method. A system development methodology in software
engineering is a framework that is used to structure, plan as well as control the process of
developing an information system
3.1 Data Collection and Procedures

To conduct research, we need a data collection. Data collection is one of the most important stages
in conducting research. You can have the best research but if you cannot collect the required data,
you will not be able to complete project objectives. There are many methods to collect data,
depending on research design and methodologies employed. Some of the common methods are
questionnaires, documentation, interviews and observation. In this project the following data
collection techniques were used in collecting data. (Norman, 1986)
3.2 Primary Data

3.2.1 Observation
As reported by Elke Van Observation is a process of recording the behavior of people, object and
occurrences without questioning or communicating with them. Under observation method, the
information is sought by way of the investigator's own direct observation without asking from the
respondent. The main advantage of this method is the bias is eliminated, if observation is done
accurately. This project used this method to collect data from the field
8
3.2.2 Interview
Interviewing involves asking questions and getting answers from participants in a study.
Interviewing has a variety of forms including: individual, face-to-face interviews and face-to-face
group interviewing. The asking and answering of questions can be mediated by the telephone or
other electronic devices (e.g., computers). Interviews can be Structured, Semis structure or
unstructured. (internet). this project used this method to collect data from users of the system .
3.3 Secondary Data

Secondary data were obtained by the researcher from magazines, journal, newspaper, library
source and internet downloads. The data collected in this particular instance means they have been
covered in literature review in chapter two.
3.4 Software Development Life Cycle

System development methodology is a technique that is used to show how the proposed system
will be developed. In this case, the methodology used will be in waterfall model
3.4.1 Waterfall Model

It consists of the stages that the developer will use when developing the system. It is a sequential
hence, the name waterfall. The developer has to finish with one stage before going to the next one.
It consists of the feasibility study or system engineering, analysis phase, design phase, coding
phase, testing phase, implementation phase and lastly the maintenance phase. I went through
different methodologies like, prototyping, spiral, etc. and I decided to use waterfall mode during
the development of this project. This guided me in the implementation of my project; waterfall
development methodologies have the advantages of identifying requirements before programming
begins and limiting changes to the requirements as the project proceeds. Waterfall model consists
of a number of development phases that are executed in sequential order. A phase only starts when
the previous has been completed. The complete solution is released at the final phase.
9
Figure 1:waterfall model
3.4.1.1 System Engineering
system engineering involves conducting a comprehensive study to understand the needs and
requirements of users such as studio managers, recording engineers, artists, and administrative
staff, as well as the limitations of the current studio management processes. Through interviews,
surveys, and user testing, valuable insights are gathered to inform the development of the system.
The collected data is then analyzed to assess the technical feasibility, economic viability, and
operational effectiveness of the proposed music studio management system. This analysis
determines whether the system is technically feasible, financially sustainable, and operationally
suitable for addressing the challenges faced in managing the studio effectively and efficiently.
3.4.1.2 Requirements and Analysis

Here, the developer will gather information about what the customer needs and define the problems
the system is expected to solve. The developer will also include customers, business context,
products functions and its compatibility. The developer will gather requirement such as software
like the programming language to use, database model and hardware needed like computer, printer
etc.
10
3.4.1.3 Design
At this stage, the developer will make an overall design other system architecture and physical
design include user interface and database design. It is at this stage the developer will identify any
faults before moving onto the next stage. The output of the design specification which is used in
the next stage of implementation
3.4.1.4 Implementation
At this stage, the developer will begin coding as per design specifications. The output of this step
is one or more product components built according to a pre-defined coding standard and debugged,
tested and integrated to satisfy the system architecture requirement.
3.4.1.5 Testing
At this stage, the developer will ensure both individual and integrated whole methodically verified
to ensure they are error free and satisfy customer requirement. The developer will involve in both
unit testing of individual code module, system testing of the integrated product and acceptance
testing conducted by or on behalf of customer. The developer ensures bugs found are corrected
before moving to the next stage. The developer will also prepare, review and publish product
documentation.
3.4.1.6 Maintenance
Lastly, this stage occurs after installation. It involves modifications on the system to improve
performance. Such changes are user initiated or as result of bug being discovered which were
initially not known. These modifications are recorded for documentation and system update,

CHAPTER FOUR: SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND REQUIREMENT
MODELING
4.0 Introduction
This chapter highlights the steps to be followed in achieving the objectives of the research which
are the information gathering for describing different techniques used to get information about the
current used system, description of the proposed system. User cases case how the users interact
with the system and activity diagram show user interact with system’s interface.
4.1 Context Diagram

System context diagram show a system, often software-based, as a whole and its inputs and outputs
from/to external factors. According to (Kossiakoff &sweet, 2011)System Context Diagrams
represent all external entities that may interact with a system. Such as diagram pictures the system
at the center, with no details of its interior structure, surround by all interacting systems,
environments and activities.
Figure 2:context diagram
13
4.2 Data flow diagram
A data flow Diagram is also a graphics representation of the “flow” of data through an information
system, modeling its process aspects. Often are a preliminary step used to create an overview of
the system which can later be collected. DFD shows the flow of data through a system. It views
system as a function that transforms the input into outputs. Any complex system will not perform
this transformation in a single step, and data will typically undergo a series of transformation
before the output. The DFD aims to capture the transformation that place within a system to the
input data so that eventually the output data is produced. The agent that performs of data from one
state to another is called a process (or bubble).
This DFD shows the movement of data through the different transformation or process in the
system.
Figure 3: DFD
4.3 User Case Diagram

A user case diagram is usually referred to on which is taken like a representation of a user’s
interaction with the system and depicting the specification of a use case. It can portray the different
14
types of users of a system and the case often be accomplishing by other types of diagrams as well.
The use case diagram basically consists of components: actor, use case, and association.
Actor: User, Operator, People involved in the System.
Association: Action or verb between actor and use case, or among use cases, usually, association
will be drawn without any description.
Use case: Activity, Action, and Process.

CHAPTER FIVE: SYSTEM DESIGN
5.0 Introduction
System design is the process of specifying the architecture, data, and interfaces needed to build a
system that meets predetermined needs. In this chapter, we will attempt to describe the
technologies used in the construction of the new system, along with the new notion of how the
application was designed. This chapter includes the development tools for the system as well as
the testing methods required to ensure that its performance is accurate. The process of defining the
architecture, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to meet predetermined requirements is
known as system design.
5.1 Interface design

Interface design is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers,
home appliances, mobile devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience.
These interfaces provide facilities such as user-friendly graphics so that the users can fell fair with
the system and accomplish their work without any harm.

CHAPTER SIX: SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION AND TESTING
6.0 Introduction
Implementation is the process that actually yields the lowest-level systems in the system hierarchy
(system breakdown structure). System elements are made, bought, or reused. Production involves
the hardware fabrication process of forming, removing, joining, and finishing, the software
realization process of coding and testing, or the operation procedures for operator’s roles. If
implementation involves a production process, a manufacturing system which uses the established
technical and create (or fabricate) a system element conforming to that element’s design properties
and or requirements. The element is constructed employing appropriate technologies and industry
practices
6.1 PHP
PHP: Hypertext Pre-Processor a server-side scripting language designed for web development but
also as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is very easy for beginners and also offers
many advanced features for professional programmers. PHP runs efficiently on Apache server, but
it can also run on IIS. PHP is an open-source and cross-platform language. It can be built as an
Apache module or a CGI script. As an Apache module, PHP is very and lightweight, allowing for
quick turnaround.
6.1.1 Software Technologies

Programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers
use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications. The term
usually refers to relatively simple programs, that can be combined together to accomplish a task,
much as one might use multiple hand tools to fix a physical object. The ability to use a variety of
tools productively is one hallmark of a skilled software engineer. The most basic tools are a source
code editor and a compiler or interpreter, which are used ubiquitously and continuously. Other
tools are used more or less depending on the language, development methodology, and individual
engineer, and are often used for a discrete task, like a debugger or profiler.
24
6.1.2 HTML
HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) is the set of mark-up symbols or codes inserted in a file
intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The mark-up tells the web browser how
to display a web page’s words and images for the user. Each individual mark-up code is referred
to as an element (but many people also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that
indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.
6.1.3 CSS
Cascading Style sheet is a kind of programming language that can be used to set the styles and
qualities of different website component and pieces of content, it can be used to set universe color,
text and background properties for certain columns, tables, layers and the entire website body.
6.1.4 MySQL
MySQL is freely available open-source relation database management system (RDBMS) that uses
structured query language (SQL).SQL is the most popular language for adding accessing and
managing content in the database. MYSQL is an essential part of almost every source PHP
application.
6.1.5 Bootstrap
Bootstrap is free and open-source front-end web framework for designing websites and web
applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons,
and navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions. Unlike
many web frameworks, it concerns itself with front-end development only.
6.2 System Testing

System testing is the testing of a complete and fully integrated software product. Usually, software
is only one element of a larger computer-based system. Ultimately, software is interfaced with
other software/hardware systems.
25
System testing is actually a series of different tests whose sole purpose is to exercise the full
computer-based system. System testing falls under the black box testing category of software
testing. White box testing is the testing of the internal workings or code of a software application.
In contrast, black box or system testing is the opposite.
6.2.1 Objective of the Testing

Software testing is a study that aims to give stakeholders with information about the quality of the
product or service under consideration. In order to help the business recognize and comprehend
the risks associated with software implementation, software testing can also offer an unbiased,
impartial perspective on the product. It involves running a program or application with the goal of
identifying faults in the software (errors or other problems). Testing ought to methodically identify
various error types in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of work. Testing also
shows that the program seems to be operating in accordance with the specs, which is a bonus. The
information gathered during testing may also offer a clue as to the dependability and caliber of the
program.
6.2.2 Testing plan

A test plan is a document detailing a systematic approach to testing a system such as a machine or
software. The plan typically contains a detailed understanding of the eventual workflow. A test
plan documents the strategy that be used to verify and ensure that a product or system meets its
design specifications and other requirements. A test plan is usually prepared by or with
signification input from test engineers.
6.2.3 Unit Testing

Unit testing is a testing done at the individual level of program or module. Sometimes, it refers to
module testing. The purpose of unit testing is to identity and reduce execution errors that cause the
program to terminate abnormally, and logic errors that could have been missed during desk
checking.
26
6.2.4 Validation Testing
System Validation is a set of action used to check the compliance of any element (a system
element, a document, a service, a task, a system requirement, etc.) With its purpose and functions.
These actions are planned and carried out throughout the life cycle of the system. Validation is a
genetic term that needs to be instantiated within the context it occurs. Validation determines if the
system compiles with the requirements and performs function for which it is intended and meet
the user need and the organization’s goals.
6.2.5 Integration Testing

Integration testing (Sometimes called integration and testing, abbreviated I&T) is the phase in
software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It
occurs after unit testing and before validation testing. Integration testing is a testing where it
involves two or more modules that link each other. It’s a process of bringing together all the
modules that a program comprises for testing purposes.
6.2.6 Function and System Testing

After completing the integration testing, we must perform system testing, which involves the entire
system. It’s similar with an integration testing. The different is in system testing, we integrate
programs into system. After the system testing is completed. We can assume that the system is
fully tested are free any errors or bugs so now it’s ready to be installed and hosted.
6.2.7 Acceptance Testing

Here, the tester hat to literally like the client and test software with respect to user needs,
requirement, and business process, and determine whether the software can be handed over to the
client or not. At this stage, often, a client represent is also a part of testing, so that the client has
confidence in the system.
27
6.2.8 White box testing
White Box Testing (WBT) is also known as Code-Based Testing or Structural Testing, it is a
testing technique that examines the program structure and derives test data from the program logic
or code by analyzing the internal structure of the system. White box testing involves the testing by
looking at the internal structure of the code. When you complete aware of the internal structure of
the code. When you can run your test cases to check whether the system meet requirement
mentioned in the specification document. Based on derived test cases the user exercised the sets
cases by giving the input to the system and checking for expected outputs with actual output. In
this testing method user has to go beyond the user interface to find the correctness of the system.
28
CHAPTER SEVEN: LIMITATION, RECOMMENDATION AND
CONCLUSION
7.0 Introduction
This chapter reflects back on the objectives of the system development and putting into
consideration the possible the challenges, limitations, recommendation and conclusions.
7.1 Limitation
Because not all users speak or comprehend English, it would be challenging for them to utilize the
system, which is designed in plain English. This was the main challenge encountered throughout
the system's creation.
7.2 Recommendation
The developer’s recommendations are addressed to other developers to learn new programming
language and continue to expand their skills in programming for future developers, the journey in
this field is still ongoing, and changes and improvements can be easily made on the website to
adapt to evolving technologies and user needs.
7.3 Conclusion
This website streamlines procedures, offers online functionality with user login for booking
details, and makes report generation easier for hotel firms and their customers. It is a
computerized and automated version of an art gallery management system. The application
promises an easier-to-use graphical user interface than the current system, guarantees
permission-based user access, removes communication lag, streamlines information updates,
prioritizes system and data security, and permits simple future modifications.
