Research on Optimization and Possible Rooms for Improvement

Updated the Look and Feel
Aside from fixing reported bugs, we updated the look and feel of SystemOne. A module for unfinalizing their schedule was also made available so users can test finalizing their schedules. This feature was removed a day prior to the actual registration. -
Students Continued Testing the Modules

Registration-Related Data Obtained from the Registrar
We asked the OUR for any data that can now be uploaded to the database server. The data provided to us was not complete yet because grades obtained during Summer were still being encoded. We began processing the data we received from the Registrar and we informed them of any data-related error we encounter. -

Received Almost Complete Data from OUR
Aside from the initial slots of students, all data were now available to SystemOne in Durendal. These data were not uploaded to the official servers to avoid confusion. Once again, we allowed the students to test SystemOne. And once again, we did not receive any performance issue from them. This was in harmony with what we are seeing from our logs.. -
Complete Data Made Available to the Students
After processing the data the night before, the registration-related data were made available to the students including their initial slots. -
Data-Related Issues Reported
A few minutes after the data were uploaded to the initial servers, we received some data-related reports. About an hour after relaying the issues to the OUR, the OUR provided us with an updated data. We had to process almost everything and perform rounds of checks again. We finished before the clock ticked 12AM. -
12:00AM | Continued Monitoring SystemOne
After uploading and checking all the data, we continued monitoring SystemOne. The number of users peaked at 2947 and 2689 in Dioscoro and Eduardo, respectively. No performance issue was ever reported. On the contrary, we are receiving compliments on how fast the new SystemOne is.
