Development of Geolocation-Based Employee Attendance Application on Android Mobile

Abstract

The development of mobile-based systems in Indonesia has provided innovative solutions to improve the efficiency of conventional administrative processes, especially in employee attendance. This research aims to develop an Android-based employee attendance application that is integrated with geolocation technology to enable accurate and real-time attendance monitoring. This system is built using the Waterfall method, which includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation using Flutter and Dart programming language, and testing using black box testing techniques. Black-box testing was conducted on six main functions, resulting in a 94% overall success rate. Most functions achieved a 100% pass rate, but two test cases for attendance check in/out failed due to GPS location inaccuracies, highlighting the impact of device and environmental factors. The average response time was 1.28 seconds, and the average GPS delay was 2.1 seconds. The implementation of real-time notifications and admin verification improved transparency and minimized attendance fraud. The results demonstrate that the application provides an effective and efficient solution for employee attendance management. Future work should focus on enhancing location accuracy, conducting non-functional testing, and expanding features to ensure broader adoption and system robustness.
