Desarrollo de API REST para automatizar proceso de recepción, seguimiento y calificación de proyectos de titulación ESFOT.

Abstract

The process of reception, monitoring and grading of degree projects at ESFOT, has always had some weaknesses that can be evidenced in the long process faced by students and authorities to complete this process. Also, due to the current situation in which we find ourselves globally by the Covid-19, it is necessary to find measures to automate processes like this and make it easier for all involved. Considering the analyses made to this process, and based on the guidelines that the University raised due to the pandemic, a REST API has been developed to allow the interaction of the data that is used in conjunction with a platform for the automation of the process of receiving, monitoring and qualification of degree projects of the ESFOT. This project is develop using Laravel, a framework that allows us to interact with PostgreSQL, the database management system, in a simple way. Furthermore, we use an agile methodology such as Scrum that gave us benefits in terms of structure, organization, and development of the system. The use of these tools and agile methodologies make it possible to obtain a project with quality and efficient planning. This document presents the development process and the of the project, the deployment to production is also mentioned, as well as the possibility of the consumption through any client.
