Abstract

Information technologies have made it possible to interconnect the world, managing to intertwine many areas, companies and functions, facilitating the execution of complex processes using software-based solutions; serving as a work tool for many professionals who have currently benefited in aspects such as time, money, functionality, security, among others. Web applications are relevant options when it comes to being able to share information and execute complex tasks due to their flexibility, compatibility and ease of development, therefore they are used for multiple purposes such as education, health, economy, sports, among other activities, making it possible to automate many of the tasks that were previously done manually, as well as guaranteeing the availability of information at all times, being sufficient that the user has a device with an internet connection and has a web browser. The Technical University of Machala is an educational institution that has not been left behind in investing in technology to process complex tasks through software, it has web platforms such as SIUTMACH, which helps in the management of enrollment, grades, degrees, among others. other specific tasks, but it does not have a tool that is strictly dedicated to the management of pre-professional practices or internship processes, according to the LOES, pre-professional practices or internships are a prerequisite for obtaining third-level education degrees, these practices They must be duly monitored and developed in the fields of the specialty of the degree to be obtained, they can be developed in community organizations, companies and public and private institutions. This is why the need arises for the Marketing Career of the Technical University of Machala to invest in a system that facilitates the management of search and approval of pre-professional practices or internships through a software project. 1. Once the scope of the project was analyzed, it was determined that the best way to solve the problem is through the development of a web platform where students can stay as users looking for an institution where they can carry out their internships. The student will have the opportunity to apply for different positions that will be proposed by companies or institutions in the sector that, through the approval of the career coordination through the role of administrator, will select the students for each position. The technological project bases its framework on the agile software development methodology SCRUM, due to the ease of execution of its development cycles and its adaptability to changes. The software architecture of the proposal is based on a three-layer architecture where the back-end, front-end and the persistence or data layer are divided. The tools used for the development of this project are based on JavaScript and are considered Frameworks, within the project there is mainly Node Js as API Rest for the back-end, React for the creation of user interfaces and front-end tool, and MySQL as database manager for the persistence layer. To verify the quality of the software product, an evaluation has been carried out under the ISO/IEC 9126 standard, where the reliability, usability, maintainability, operability and functionality of the prototype are measured.
