PENGUJIAN SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN MENGGUNAKAN BLACK BOX TESTING STUDI KASUS E-WISUDAWAN DI INSTITUT SAINS DAN TEKNOLOGI AL-KAMAL

System development has several stages including the analysis, planning, design and implementation stages. At the implementation stage, it is divided into two, namely testing and maintaining the system. Testing is the process of checking whether a system can be run in accordance with specified standards. In general, system testing can be classified into two, namely software testing techniques and software testing strategies. Software testing techniques are classified into two groups namely white box testing and black box testing, while software testing strategies are classified into three, namely unit testing, integration testing, and validation testing. In this research software testing techniques are applied using black box testing techniques, while software testing strategies are implemented using validation testing. Black box testing technique focuses on system behavior based on the functional requirements of the system, while validation testing is carried out to ensure the compatibility of the system with the design that has been applied. In validation testing, there are two tests conducted, namely alpha testing and beta testing. E-Wisuda Institut Sains dan Teknologi  Al-Kamal is a web based decision support system created to assist members of the senate in determining the best graduates, as well as being the best graduates at the graduation procession. E-Graduation decision support system test results state that the system has no syntax errors and functionally produces a system that is in accordance with user needs and the system can assist users in determining the best graduates and provide accurate results.
