3. Strengths

This web application used the design of Model-View-Controller (MVC). This design
did separate web application into the view of 3 layers. When the customers need to search for
the video on this web application, the browser will send the request to the Controller which is
servlet to analyse and process the request. After that, it will send to the Model which is session
bean that contain business logic that able retrieve the information from database which related
to the customer’s searched word and store the information in the bean. After all, it will then
send the request to the View which is JSP to perform the displaying job. With this design, if
the code need to be modified in future, each of them will not affect each other in term of code.

This web application will provide better performance due to the short and simple of the
code is implemented in order to speed up the processing of the system with all the operation
involved. For example, when the application need to go through several line of code to process
the request, the application will not going through the unnecessary line of code which are
removed to reduce the waste of the processing time and in the end of the process it will also
produce the same results with or without the involve of the unnecessary line of code.

This web application will also make the verification on the input data as well as the role
of the user. For example, in term of input data, the system will verify the input data such as
video details with the database to check whether the data exist or not before the video details
is insert into the database. This will help to reduce the duplication data in database which might
give error in future when try to retrieve the data. In term of role, the system will verify the role
of the user during login phase to determine which page should redirect to. This will help to
avoid of a customer login to the staff page which can perform the unauthorized function such
as delete the rental made.

This web application will provide a simple but very attractive user interface for users.
All the label are stated clearly, easy to understand and straight forward with name of the
features such as search video. The home button is provided in every page to ensure that the
users can navigate the web pages easily by not need to click the back button multiple times to
back to home page. This will make the users feel convenient to this web application.

4. Operational Requirements

In term of technical environment, the normal computer is sufficient enough to run this
web application but the things is the network and web browser is needed to use this web
application. The network bandwidth do not need to have a very high in term of speed and the
web browser to use is recommended to be Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Besides, in
term of maintainability, the Supernet need to be able to adapt to this new web application for
their business. The company need to provide training for old staff to get familiar with this
web application. Other than that, the Adobe Flash Player is recommended to install the plug-
in to the web browser. In some cases, the web application need to play video or animation
with this plug-in. The java plug-in is also need to be downloaded and install on the computer.
This is because this web application need to be run on a Java Runtime Environment.
