Graduate Tracer for RMTU Graduate School: A Web-based Application

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the software quality of the Graduate Tracer for RMTU Graduate School: A Web-based Application of the respondents, level of acceptability of the respondents, and level of readiness of RMTU Graduate School for its implementation. The study made of used descriptive method of research. The specific descriptive research techniques used were survey and content analysis. This study involved RMTU Graduate School staff and alumni respondents with a total of 488 alumni and staff respectively. The number of respondents was determined by the use of purposive sampling technique at 5% margin of error. The software quality assessed based on theISO/IEC 20501 metrics: functional sustainability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, and security. The level of acceptability of the RMTU graduate school determined through functionality and performance. The level of readiness of implementation was measured based on information system facility and user/technical personnel. The study revealed that Software Quality of Graduate tracer for RMTU Graduate School: A Web-based application using the ISO/IEE 20501 metrics was evaluated by respondents as “Good” in terms of functional sustainability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability and security where the respondent obtained a higher mean score of 3.94 in portability, that the tracer can be transferred form one hardware, software or other operational or usage environment to another; the level of acceptability of the respondents described as “Acceptable” in terms of functionality while “Highly Acceptable” in terms of performance that the system improves job performance and increases productivity of the personnel because of the fast turn-around of service to the user; and for the level of readiness of the RMTU for the implementation of Graduate Tracer described as “Ready” in terms of information system facility and user/technical personnel.
