TL;DR
The developed system can support increased operational efficiency, reduce potential errors in data management, and improve the quality of rental services at Selekta Adventure.
Abstract
The operational management of outdoor equipment rentals at Selekta Adventure still relies on manual processes, potentially leading to errors in transaction recording, delays in reporting, and difficulties in monitoring stock availability. This situation indicates the need for a system capable of effectively integrating all rental activities. This study aims to develop a web-based outdoor equipment rental information system by applying the Waterfall method as a software development approach. The system implementation was carried out using the Laravel framework and MySQL database to support structured data management. The resulting system provides various key features, including real-time inventory management, automatic late payment penalty calculations, and digital payment integration through a payment gateway, making the transaction process more practical and transparent. Functional testing was conducted using the Black Box Testing method, and all test scenarios showed that each feature ran according to user requirements without any functional errors. In addition, the application quality was evaluated using Google Lighthouse with a Performance score of 92, Accessibility 95, Best Practices 96, and SEO 100. The evaluation results indicate that the system not only meets functional requirements but also has a good web interface quality in terms of performance, accessibility, implementation of best practices, and search engine optimization. Thus, the developed system can support increased operational efficiency, reduce potential errors in data management, and improve the quality of rental services at Selekta Adventure.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…
AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering.
