Automated-Leave-Management-System
An automated system which checks holidays requested by employees, against a set of constraints and automatically approves/rejects and suggests alternative dates.
Features
- Employees are able to submit holiday requests through the website
- They are also able to view list of previous holiday requests which also shows whether they were approved/rejected.
- When a holiday request is made by the employee
- The system checks the profile of the employee and runs the holiday request against a set of constraint set by the system admin
- Automatically approves or rejects the request based on the constraint.
- Should a request get rejected, the employee is automatically informed of the reason on the spot.
- In addition, nearest available alternative holiday dates are suggested (automatically) which does not break constraints.
- The application features a manager side, through which, the manager of the organization is able to monitor the system and view various reports.
Running the website from source
To run the development version of the application, you must have composer (https://getcomposer.org) installed. After this, ensure you are in the project directory and run:
composer install
After this, simply run the following command, and keep the terminal running:
php artisan serve
This will give an url, usually http://localhost:8000, which you can copy and paste into the browser to start the application.
Running the tests from source
Ensure you are in the project directory and run and simply run the following command, and keep the terminal running:
php artisan serve
This will give an url, usually http://localhost:8000, which you can copy and paste into the browser to start the application.
To run the tests, again ensure you have composer installed and php artisan serve running, then execute:
vendor\bin\codecept run
This will run all the tests we have available, including all: unit, functional and acceptance tests. Bear in mind this can be quite time consuming and can last up to 5 minutes.
Please note that the acceptance tests will fail unless you have another copy of command prompt running php artisan serve in the background.
