### Problem Statement: Software Personnel Management System

#### Overview
In this lab, students will design and develop a minimum viable product (MVP)
for a Software Personnel Management System (SPMS). The SPMS aims to
streamline the process of managing personnel records, including tracking
employee information, managing roles, and performance reviews. This project
will help students understand the software development lifecycle, including
requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and
documentation.

#### Objectives
1. **Requirements Analysis**: Identify and document functional and non-
functional requirements.
2. **System Design**: Create a system architecture that includes a database
schema, user interface, and application logic.
3. **Implementation**: Develop the SPMS using Django (or another suitable
framework) for the backend and a modern frontend framework.
4. **Testing**: Perform unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance
testing.
5. **Documentation**: Prepare detailed documentation covering all phases of
the project.

#### Requirements
##### Functional Requirements
1. **User Registration and Login**: Users (employees and administrators)
should be able to register and log in to the system.
2. **Employee Information Management**: Admins can add, update, and delete
employee records.
3. **Role Management**: Admins can assign and manage roles for employees.
4. **Performance Review Management**: Admins can create, update, and
manage performance reviews for employees.
5. **Attendance Tracking**: Track employee attendance and leave records.
6. **Notification System**: Notify employees about performance reviews and
important updates via email.
7. **User Profile Management**: Employees can view and update their profiles.
8. **Admin Dashboard**: Admins can view and manage all personnel data.

##### Non-Functional Requirements


1. **Scalability**: The system should handle multiple users and concurrent
requests efficiently.
2. **Security**: Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
3. **Usability**: The user interface should be intuitive and user-friendly.
4. **Performance**: The system should respond to user actions within an
acceptable time frame.

#### System Design


##### Architecture
1. **Frontend**: HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the user interface.
2. **Backend**: Django (or a similar framework) for handling business logic and
database interactions.
3. **Database**: SQLite or MySQL for storing user and employee data.

##### Modules
1. **User Module**: Handles user registration, login, and profile management.
2. **Employee Management Module**: Manages employee information and
roles.
3. **Performance Review Module**: Manages performance reviews.
4. **Attendance Module**: Tracks attendance and leave records.
5. **Admin Module**: Allows admins to manage all personnel data.
6. **Notification Module**: Sends email notifications to users.
##### Database Schema
1. **Users Table**: Stores user information (username, password, email, etc.).
2. **Employees Table**: Stores employee information (name, role, department,
etc.).
3. **Roles Table**: Stores roles assigned to employees.
4. **Performance Reviews Table**: Stores performance review data.
5. **Attendance Table**: Stores attendance and leave records.
6. **Notifications Table**: Stores notification messages sent to users.

#### Implementation
1. **Setup Environment**: Install and configure necessary software (Django,
database, etc.).
2. **Develop Features**: Implement user registration, employee management,
role management, performance reviews, and attendance tracking.
3. **Integrate Modules**: Ensure seamless interaction between frontend and
backend components.
4. **Testing**: Write and run tests for each module to ensure functionality.

#### Testing
1. **Unit Testing**: Test individual components and functions.
2. **Integration Testing**: Test the interaction between different modules.
3. **User Acceptance Testing**: Ensure the system meets the end-users'
requirements and expectations.

#### Documentation
1. **Requirements Document**: Detail all functional and non-functional
requirements.
2. **Design Document**: Describe the system architecture and design decisions.
3. **User Manual**: Guide for end-users on how to use the system.
4. **Technical Documentation**: Explain the code structure, database schema,
and development process.

#### Deliverables
1. **Source Code**: Fully functional codebase of the Software Personnel
Management System.
2. **Documentation**: Comprehensive documentation covering all aspects of
the project.
3. **Test Reports**: Results from unit, integration, and user acceptance tests.

#### Evaluation Criteria


1. **Functionality**: Completeness and correctness of implemented features.
2. **Code Quality**: Adherence to coding standards and best practices.
3. **Design**: Effectiveness of the system design and architecture.
4. **Testing**: Coverage and thoroughness of testing.
5. **Documentation**: Clarity and comprehensiveness of documentation.

By the end of this lab, students will have gained practical experience in
developing a real-world software application, applying software engineering
principles, and working through the entire software development lifecycle.
