July 23, 2020

There has been a significant growth in the internet and web applications in the last years, which consequently has increased the need for web services and distributed applications to provide specific value to other complex applications. This research proposes the design and development of the qNotify, a notification web server able to manage and deliver messages from diverse types (Push Notification, Email, SMS) to users. qNotify enables other applications to notify users, with the integration through web services. The application under consideration to integrate with qNotify is qDocs. qDocs is a Document Automation Platform that enables citizens to create and manage personal documents and request specific documents to real organizations. The result of this integration enables qDocs to notify citizens increasing awareness in time to optimize the process of document requesting, and other use cases such as to invite other citizens to participate in a document and to shared documents with other citizens. qNotify is also tested and evaluated considering the following software quality attributes: Performance, Security, and Interoperability.
