This project focused on the development of UTP Community Online. The main
objective of this application is to ease the users in searching or finding information at
anytime and anywhere. This application allows users can access through PC with the
internet connection and also using the SQL server. Each registered users will have their
detail in administration database that specialized in managing this application. The
system is developed to be use by all type of user but it focus on meeting students' need
especially UTP student. To build this application, the uses the SQL server with ASP
support and Dreamweaver MX.
In developing this application, one method being selected named 'Hypothetico
Deductive'. In this method it consist of three major phase which is the analysis, design,
and development and evaluation. It helps the author to formulate a theoretical
framework of all the factors contributing to the problem. From the theoretical
framework, which is meaningful integration of all information gathered, several
hypotheses can be generated and tested to determine if the data support them. Concepts
are then operationally defined so that they can be measured. A research design is set up
to decide on, among other issues, howto collect further data, analyze and interpret them
and finally provide an answer to the problem. The process of drawing from logical
analysis an inference that purports to be conclusive is called deduction. Thus, the
building blocks of science provide the genesis for hypothetico-deductive method.
From the method that the author choose, shows that UTP Community Online is more
effective than the conventional way. This can be proving from the evaluation that being
implement. From the heuristic evaluation, it shows thatUTP Community Online is more
comprehensive because it consist a lot of understandable attribute such as it used the
user language, consistent, simple and natural dialog. In termof walkthrough evaluation,
it shows that time measured from the user to access this application is faster than
conventional way. Based on the result, the author concluded that, student can search
information more easily if they usedUTPCommunity Online than conventional way.
