Technical feasibility of a software project for virtualization of tasks performed by students in the higher education course - problems and solutions in evolutionary development

Abstract

The dynamics of business requirements necessitates the modernization of teaching methods in schools and universities. The purpose of the publication is to explore the technological aspects of creating and maintaining a complex software system for virtual learning. In order to assess technical feasibility, a classifier of potential software changes is proposed, taking into account the impact they have on the database administrators and developers. The article offers different approaches to managing changes, both at the programming code level and at the database level. The limitations imposed by the technologies used are analyzed and, on this basis, the best methods for managing changes in the virtual learning software system are outlined. The results of the study can be useful for software system designers and database administrators.
