Conclusions

Administrators need to manage digital archives effectively, and the improvements made to the Simple DL administrative system throughout this project make this task more pleasant.

Various tests were carried out to evaluate the newly developed system. Acceptance testing ensured that the system met its intended functional requirements and performed as expected. System testing such as compatibility and performance testing guaranteed that the non-functional requirements were met. Finally, usability testing involving three expert users provided valuable feedback that assisted in the refinement of the tool to ensure that the tool provided a pleasant user experience.

The successful development of the ARCHMAN tool not only addressed existing limitations but also paved the way for Simple DL to become a more comprehensive and user-friendly digital archiving toolkit.
