For a test system you are looking for max of 5 people using it and for production system up to 500 users could use this system.

Task 2)

Now it’s time for you to setup a low usage test system, document how this is done and what you used and why (U36 LO3)

Cover what the server can do, how it is configured. How databases can be used on it etc.
Also show the web app been used (errors as well as successes) (U35 LO2).

For Merit Work:
Complex problems with more than one variable have been explored (U36/U35 M2 )
For Distinction Work: receptiveness to new ideas is evident (U35/U36 D2)

Task 3)

Now design the web application as specified. Show your php code and how the mysql database is setup (what are the fields etc) (U36 LO4 4.1 / 4.2 + U35 LO3)

Task 4)

(U36 LO4 4.3/4.4 + U35 LO4)

Test the system both hardware and software and critically review its performance.

Does the system you created work as per brief?
