Abstract
This study provides a unique insight to
computerization of attendance registration system with
the exploitation of Waterfall Software Development
Life Cycle technology. The development of this
software originated from the importance of records of
students’ attendance that influences academic
accomplishments in higher institutions of learning.
The traditional way of storing and accumulating
records is always liable to different degrees of
difficulties in accessibility, unsafe, maintenance
discrepancy, human errors and frauds. The
recommended software overcomes the inadequacy
challenges of the work-intensive manual system in
registering students’ attendance records. In this
application, Hypertext Pre-processor and My Structure
Query Language were used as back-end design, while
Hypertext Markup Language, Bootstrap Cascading
Style Sheet, and JavaScript were exploited as front-end
tools. The web system was connected with database of
the records inherent in the remote server. The web
system also allowed the application to be mobileresponsive,
thereby making it easier to explore for both
lecturers and the students. It spontaneously calculated
the percentage of students in attendance. The application is not only secured, fast in process, very
efficient and reliable, but also reduced pen and paper
consumption in comparison with the unsecured
manual approach.
