1.5 TECHNOLOGY AND LITERATURE REVIEW

1.5.1 MERN Stack for Full-Stack Development
For PG-Rental, the MERN stack provides a robust foundation for
developing a full-stack web application. MongoDB serves as the database management
system, facilitating the storage and retrieval of PG listings, user information, and
transactional data. Express.js, in conjunction with Node.js, powers the backend server
logic, handling HTTP requests, routing, and middleware functions. This enables seamless
communication between the client-side and server-side components of the application.
React.js, on the frontend, allows for the creation of dynamic and interactive user
interfaces, enhancing the user experience by providing real-time updates and responsive
design.
1.5.2 Bootstrap for Responsive Design
Bootstrap plays a crucial role in ensuring that PG-Rental is accessible and
visually appealing across various devices and screen sizes. By utilizing Bootstrap's grid
system, components, and utilities, developers can design responsive layouts that adapt
seamlessly to desktops, tablets, and smartphones. This is particularly important for PG
seekers who may access the platform from different devices while searching for
accommodations. Bootstrap's pre-built CSS and JavaScript components also expedite
the development process, allowing for the rapid iteration of UI elements and the
maintenance of a consistent design language throughout the application.

 2.2 PROJECT PLANNING
2.2.1 Project Development Approach and Justification
We would be using the Agile model for project development. Agile
methods break tasks into smaller iterations, or parts do not directly involve long term
planning. The project scope and requirements are laid down at the beginning of the
development process. Plans regarding the number of iterations, the duration and the scope
of each iteration are clearly defined in advance.
Following are the phases in the Agile model are as follows:
1. Requirements gathering
2. Design the requirements
3. Construction/ iteration
4. Testing/ Quality assurance
5. Deployment
6. Feedback

Fig. 2.2.1 Agile Model

Advantages of Agile model:

● Customer satisfaction by rapid, continuous delivery of useful software.
● People and interactions are emphasized rather than process and tools. Customers, developers,
and testers constantly interact with each other.
● Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months).

DDU(Faculty of Tech.,Dept.Of IT) 17

● Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication.
● Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers.
● Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
● Regular adaptation to changing circumstances.
● Even late changes in requirements are welcomed.

Disadvantages of Agile model:

● In case of some software deliverables, especially the large ones, it is difficult to assess the
effort required at the beginning of the software development life cycle.
● There is a lack of emphasis on necessary designing and documentation.
● The project can easily get taken off track if the customer representative is not clear what final
outcome that they want.
● Only senior programmers are capable of taking the kind of decisions required during the
development process. Hence it has no place for newbie programmers, unless combined with
experienced resources
