Dwidaya Tour has a fairly rapid business development both branches in almost all of Indonesia and the services they offer to the public ranging from train tickets, planes, Umrah, and all services in the field of travel. Problems arise when all services and branches have their respective systems and are not connected and centralized. Thus, Dwidaya tour wants a rapid migration into one centralized system without stopping all of the systems that are running. The purpose of this study is the result of implementing the solution used to overcome these problems. The use of the microservices programming architecture for the migration process. Where microservices architecture allows each stand-alone system to be a service at the back-end level and connected to a centralized system at the front-end level. Because the migration process needed must be fast, the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) approach based on the RAD (Rapid Application Development) methodology was used. This RAD methodology has a stage of user evaluation involvement as a key means for the development and deployment process to be more precise and short in duration for its development.

AJAX is a powerful script based approach for Rich Internet Application development, yet AJAX is suffering from various complexities which make the AJAX based Rich Internet Application engineering is difficult and Rapid Application Development is supported inadequately. If we can simplify the AJAX based Rich Internet Application engineering process by providing standards, the Rapid Application Development methodology can be used effectively to raise the productivity and the quality. In this paper, we propose a set of best practices to facilitate the project management of AJAX based Rich Internet Applications — hence utilize Rapid Application Development methodology — in the initial development and post-deployment maintenance, modification and expansion phases. These best practices are meant to increase the realization of the Rich Internet Application and the AJAX adoption — therefore reduce the complexities — by providing a standard structural arrangement for the development project. We plan to design a general architecture for AJAX based Rich Internet Applications and combine with the best practices discussed in this paper to formulate a new platform to support the Rapid Application Development methodology adequate, by increasing the realization, which causes to minimize the complexities.

Point of Sales is an application used to record transactions. This application can be used to help business owners including retail stores, self-service stores, and even supermarkets so that every transaction can be supervised and tracked. This kind of application gives convenience and easiness to avoid as many as possible from transaction fraud that may happen in running the business. This kind of application has features that may fulfill the direct and in-direct needs in business transactions. POS Applications can now be installed and operated in any kind of common electronic device in society including but not limited to laptops, smartphones, and personal computers. Because of the developments of technologies, the use of cameras in every device has become common nowadays. In the context of technology, this new feature can be utilized to search and find data and even read the data in the system. To store data in the real world, the use of QR-Code has been becoming common but rarely been implemented in POS Application. Because of this kind of capability, the three of these technologies can be integrated to ease the human’s works. Several problems in business need contributions like this. In order to prove that, this research had been conducted to a retail shop by implementing Point of Sales Application and doing interviews to collect data as proof of the hypothesis. In order to do that, the research will be started to ask several questions about the needs of the business and build the application using Rapid Application Development Methodology. Rapid Application Development Method will be using the data from the interview as the requirements of system development. The Rapid Application Development Methodology was used because it has effectiveness and efficiency to build applications without wasting time and efforts in building useless features. After the application is done, then the testing will be conducted by listing all main features of the application and checking whether the application works as expected. When the testing is done, the implementation of application will be conducted directly to the business. Implementation will be meeting several issues and revisions, in this section, another interview will be conducted in order to gather information about anything that needs to be fixed or changed. After the last interview was conducted, several facts were found. It proves that what has been stated in previous research was correct. Research has found that fraud and human error that spoil the business has occurred.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to increased online learning for students, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the need for social distancing has interrupted the delivery of continuing education for ASD children. ASD emerges in early childhood, which may cause interruptions in numerous essential areas of progress in daily life. Therefore, we proposed a mobile game, namely Basic Daily Life (BasLife) game, for ASD children. The game offered positive affection and an enjoyable experience in learning sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology was implemented to produce the BasLife game. The RAD methodology consists of four phases: Requirement Planning Phase, User Design Phase, Development Phase, and Cutover Phase. The EGame Flow Model was applied as a guideline to develop an enjoyable game during the User Design Phase and Development Phase. Keenly, the study results produce theBasLifegame as a learning approach for ASD children that would tackle the interpersonal skills and create an enjoyable learning experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The results indicate that the platform significantly enhances the accessibility of educational resources, empowering visually impaired students. Its novel combination of RAD methodology and strict adherence to accessibility standards demonstrates a practical and user-centered approach to tackling educational inequities.

Purpose: This research was conducted to respond to obstacles and inefficiencies in the new student registration system at RA Plus Rabbani. Currently, the conventional method of using physical documents for registration is vulnerable to damage and data loss. Therefore, the proposed solution is implementing a website-based online registration system using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. This aims to simplify the process, increase accessibility for prospective students, and reduce the costs and time required.Methods: This research commenced by identifying constraints within the conventional student registration system at RA Plus Rabbani through observations and interviews. The development, following the RAD methodology, involved testing with PHPUnit and Blackbox Testing to ensure the functionality of the system aligned with specifications. In addition, usability evaluation was conducted based on the ISO 9126 standard.Result: The research results show that testing on MVC indicated a 100% success rate for each architectural feature. Referring to expectations with a “valid” conclusion on functionality using Blackbox testing, based on ISO 9126 percentage displayed, it is known that the criterion with the most significant value is the understandability characteristic with a value of 83%. Novelty: This research makes a significant contribution by improving student registration services at RA Plus Rabbani through the implementation of various testing techniques, following the research flow offered by RAD. The study also provides substantial references for further research in web-based system development.
