Abstract

This study aims to design and develop an expert system to assist in identifying stress levels among university students while working on their undergraduate theses using the Forward Chaining method. The research is motivated by the difficulties students face in independently recognizing their stress levels and the limited availability of tools that can provide prompt preliminary information. The study adopts a system development approach consisting of problem identification, data collection and processing, requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. Knowledge of stress symptoms and levels is represented in a knowledge base using IF–THEN rules and processed through Forward Chaining based on the symptoms selected by users. Functional testing was conducted using the black-box testing method to evaluate the application's main features, including loading, registration, login, the main menu, diagnosis, data management, and reporting. The test results documented in the undergraduate thesis indicate that all tested functions operated as expected, achieving a functional success rate of 100%. The developed system can serve as a supporting tool for providing preliminary information about students' stress levels and recommending appropriate coping measures based on the system's results. However, the 100% figure represents the success rate of software functional testing and does not indicate the clinical diagnostic accuracy of the system.

Abstract

The distribution of the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) at SMP Negeri 35 Padang faced problems in recording recipients, including manual attendance, duplicate recipient data, and time-consuming attendance recap. This study aims to develop an Android-based digital attendance application using QR Code to support the recording and distribution of MBG recipients. The study used field research through observation and interviews, literature study, and laboratory research for application development. System analysis and design used Unified Modeling Language (UML), while functional testing used the black-box method. The developed application provides login, student data, student QR Code attendance, QR scanning, school data, administrator data, and attendance/transaction data features. The black-box testing reported successful results for loading, login, main menu, student data input, administrator data input, QR scanning, and school data input. The application is therefore able to support digital attendance and data storage for MBG recipients according to the functions tested in the study.

Abstract

This research aims to design and develop a web-based sales information system for Toko Dila SR12 in Lubuk Begalung District, Koto Baru Nan XX, Padang. The study was motivated by the need to integrate product and stock information, customer ordering, cashier transactions, payments, sales records, reporting, activity monitoring, and expired-product returns. The research applies the Waterfall software development approach consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Data were obtained through direct observation of sales activities, interviews with the owner and administrator, and literature study. The application was designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and implemented with PHP and MySQL. The system provides four user roles, namely administrator, owner, cashier, and customer. Implemented functions include product catalog, shopping cart, checkout, customer orders, cashier POS, cash, bank transfer, QRIS/DANA, COD, sales reports, product and category management, user management, activity monitoring, and expired-product returns. Program verification shows that all 39 PHP files passed syntax checking without errors. Functionally, the application structure provides an integrated sales flow from product selection and ordering to cashier processing, sales recording, and report preparation. The study provides a web-based application structure that is aligned with the operational needs documented for Toko Dila SR12.
