INTRODUCTION

As stated by Schreyer et al. Al. (2017) assert that automation manages

a crucial duty in both daily life and the global economy. Computer

technology is used to carry out office tasks. Automation helps a lot in the

government as well, reducing tasks and improving society. The Senior

Citizen Profiling System is a system that administers the registration to

make job easier and less hassle for the golden age. Senior citizens or

seniors are terms used to describe people who are above sixty. These

terms refer to people whose stage in life is generally called old age,

though there is no precise way to identify the final stage of a normal life

span. People are said to be senior citizens when they reach the age of sixty

because those are the ages at which most people retire from the

workforce. The records of members of Senior Citizen had been curtail

overtime due to large numbers of citizen’s due to poor record keeping

since itis a manual based method. The manual method led to various

problems and these include unnecessary duplication of recorded data,

difficult in tracing previous member's record, eventually, it is difficult to

trace the flow of members past data. Based on the survey the appearance

of computer web-based profiling system has changed the office

transaction both large and small system have adopted the new method by

use of computer, to attain several roles in the production of information.

Objectives

Generally, the project aimed to develop an online system that will help

government office in locating and profiling of senior citizens.

1. Create a module that automates the following:

a. Registration

b. Reports.

2. Create a module that shows the demographic profile of senior citizens

of Barangay Balansay, Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro.

3. Create a module that will search or shows the master list of all senior

citizens.

Definition of Terms •

In the context of the Senior Citizen Profiling System for Barangay Balansay,

the following terms are defined specifically to cater to the needs and

functionalities of the system, particularly for IT professionals involved in

its development and maintenance.

 Database Management System (DBMS): Software that interacts with

end-users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze

data. It is crucial for storing senior citizen profiles securely.

 Admin Dashboard: The main interface for administrators, providing

tools and information for managing the system, viewing reports, and

accessing system functionalities.

followed for developing software applications, encompassing stages such

as planning, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance.

Rapid Application Development (RAD): An incremental software

development process that emphasizes an extremely short development

cycle, allowing for quick adjustments based on user feedback.

 Functional Requirements: Specifications that describe what the system

should do; these include features like registration processes and report

generation capabilities.

 Master List: A comprehensive database containing all registered senior

citizens within Barangay Balansay, which can be searched or referenced

for various administrative purposes.

Data Migration: The process of transferring data from one system or format

to another; in this context, it may involve moving records from manual

logs to the new web-based system.

These definitions are tailored specifically for those involved in the

development and operation of the Senior Citizen Profiling System in

Barangay Balansay and reflect terminology familiar within IT circles.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION METHODOLOGIES

Profiling System in Barangay Balansay involves collecting essential

information to create a comprehensive database of senior citizens. The

specific data collected includes personal details such as names, ages,

addresses, contact numbers, and health information. This information is

primarily provided by the senior citizens themselves during the

registration process, which is facilitated by barangay officials and staff.

Additionally, data on pension status, social security benefits, and

participation in community programs are gathered through surveys and

interviews conducted by local government personnel. The collection

process also includes verification steps to ensure the accuracy and

completeness of the data entered into the system. By engaging both senior

citizens and barangay staff in this process, the system aims to create an

efficient and reliable profiling mechanism that enhances service delivery

and meets the needs of the elderly population in the community.

System Integration

The development of the Senior Citizen Profiling System for Barangay

Balansay followed a structured process aimed at creating a user-friendly

and efficient web-based application. The development utilized the

Waterfall Model of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC),

which includes distinct phases such as requirements analysis, system

design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Initially, the

researchers conducted a thorough requirements analysis by engaging with

senior citizens and barangay officials to gather essential data and

where the system architecture was outlined, focusing on functionalities

such as registration, identification card generation, and pension

monitoring.

The programming languages and frameworks employed in the

development included PHP for server-side scripting, HTML for

structuring the web pages, and Bootstrap for responsive design. The

application was hosted on an XAMPP server, enabling local development

and testing before deployment. The graphical user interface (GUI) was

designed to be intuitive, featuring an admin dashboard that displays key

metrics about senior citizens registered in the system.

For testing procedures, both software-to-software and software-to-

hardware tests were conducted to ensure functionality and performance.

Open-source testing tools like Mochawe re utilized for JavaScript testing

to verify that all components worked as intended without errors. The

testing phase included unit tests for individual modules and integration

tests to ensure that different parts of the application interacted correctly.

Reports generated from these tests indicated successful functionality

across all modules, confirming that the system met user requirements

effectively.
