Development of Water Billing System: A Case Study of Akwa Ibom State Water Company Limited, Eket Branch

Abstract

Computers are now taking over virtually every field of human endeavours and most functions. Computers affect our daily lives more and more and hopefully, can be used to improve the quality of our lives by releasing us from dull, repetitive tasks and allowing us to expand our minds. Thispaper explains how the old Water Billing System can be improved in AkwaIbom State Water Company Limited (AKSWCL), Eket. The research work aims at designing and developing a Water Billing System for AKSWCL. The formation of the system was approached using a requirement, analysis and capturing methodology that consist of four main phases, namely domain understanding, requirements capturing, classification, and validation. A tool called the Visual Basic was used for validating the syntax of the system while a prototype with test scripts was used for validating the system as a whole.
