A guide to the methodology and system analysis section of a computer science project

Abstract

The methodology section of every research work remains essential to the presentation of research findings. Methodology supports research findings by explaining the research techniques applied and creating a roadmap of how a researcher reached to a conclusion. Knowing how to structure the methodology section has been a challenge to undergraduate computing students. This guide will address these challenge and enable computing students to argue for the methods they have chosen and demonstrate how they directly addressed the questions they posed during their study. In this guide, we define methodology, discuss its significance, describe popular research techniques, and provide instructions on how to develop one with examples.
