Ensuring Quality Performance of Faculty Attendance Management System<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
This research focused on the beta testing and pilot testing of faculty attendance management system to ensure its
quality performance. The system was intended to help the university administrators to establish an efficient and effective
system in monitoring faculty attendance. The Faculty Attendance Management System (FAMS) is a web based and mobile
application which is proven to be efficient and effective in handling and recording data, generating updated reports and
analytics needed in managing faculty attendance. The FAMS can facilitate not only a convenient and faster way of gathering
and recording of data, but it can also provide data analytics, immediate feedback system mechanism, and analysis. The
faculty analytics generated from the system may not only be used by Deans and Chairperson in their evaluation of faculty
performance but as well as the individual faculty to increase awareness on their attendance in class. The software database
architecture uses MySQL for web-based, and SQLite for mobile applications. The system includes different modules that
capture daily attendance of faculty members, generate faculty attendance reports and analytics, absences notification system
for faculty members, chairperson and dean regarding absences, and immediate communication system concerning the
absences incurred. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation showed that the system satisfactory met the stakeholder’s
requirements. Beta testing and pilot testing have also been conducted. The functionality, usability, reliability, performance,
and security all turned out to be above average. Likewise, results showed that the quality performance of the system is very
satisfactory. It was recommended that the faculty assignments must be finished on or before the classes starts and all changes
must be reflected on the system. The Internet infrastructure or connectivity of the university greatly affected the performance
of the system; therefore, it is recommended to upgrade the internet connectivity of the university.
