RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology used by the researcher to obtain results for the study. It includes the research design, SDLC used, the data gathering procedure, research instrument, and the statistical tools that will interpret and analyze tallied and tabulated data.
Research Design
The study is classified under the descriptive method of research since the bases of its findings are on the prevailing perception and reactions of the beneficiaries. The process of descriptive research goes beyond mere gathering and tabulation of data. It involves the elements or interpretation of the meaning or significant of what is described. Thus description is often combined with the comparison and contrast involving classifications, interpretation and evaluation. It involves collections of data to answer questions concerning the current status of the study. With this research type, it is essential that the researcher already has a clear view or picture of the fact being studied before the data collection procedure is carried out.
The researcher opted to use this research method considering the objective to obtain first hand data from the respondents. The descriptive method is advantageous for the researcher due to its flexibility; this method can use either qualitative or quantitative data or both, giving the researcher greater options in selecting the instrument for data-gathering.
With the proposed study, locating items in the supermarkets would be easier and faster. Wasted time and effort of the customers especially those in a hurry would be minimized. It is important for the supermarket to gain the loyalty of its customers and with the help of the proposed product locator system, it will greatly satisfy the customers.
Method Used in Developing the Software Product
The proponents used the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach in developing the proposed software. RAD is a software development methodology that
