Implementation of the Rapid Application Development Method in the Internal Quality Audit Information System at Yapis University of Papua

Abstrak

The implementation of the Internal Quality Audit (AMI) by the Quality Assurance Center (PJM) at Yapis Papua University is currently hampered by semi-manual data management spread across various media. This situation requires auditors to repeatedly verify information, thereby slowing down the preparation of evaluation reports. In addition, there is an operational gap due to the lack of a system capable of specifically aligning assessment instruments with the standards of the Independent Accreditation Agency (LAM) and the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) for each study program. This study aims to design and develop an adaptive, web-based Internal Quality Audit Information System to address these issues. The system was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, which includes the stages of requirements planning, system design, development, and implementation. The system’s workflow was modeled using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and built using PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a MySQL database; its feasibility was then tested using Black Box Testing. The research resulted in an integrated information system that centrally supports the roles of the Admin, Auditor, and Auditee, enabling the management of schedules, the digitization of accreditation instruments, and the direct monitoring of evaluation findings and follow-up actions. All Black Box Testing scenarios were deemed valid with no functional failures. Consequently, the implementation of this platform has successfully made the audit process more structured, accelerated data verification, and provided high flexibility in instrument customization, thereby enabling quality evaluations at Yapis Papua University to proceed more efficiently and sustainably.
