Agricultural Information Application Design using User Centered Requirements Engineering

Abstract

In Indonesia there are 43,55 percent of low-education people where majority depend on life as farmer and the needs of farmers for information in agriculture are very diverse. So far, farmers have only used agricultural information for generations. Although technology has entered the agricultural sector, such as the use of smartphone devices. However, its use is still not productive because there are no mobile applications that can provide integrated agricultural information suitable to farmer needs. So that the User Centered Requirements Engineering (UCRE) method is needed as a process of classifying farmers information needs that are very diverse and packaged into an integrated agricultural information application design model. The results of the application design obtained usability size by 80.32% and correctness by 79% so that, it illustrates a good quality value of the application based on the need for usefulness and accuracy of information on the McCall method testing.
