Testing is one of the most time-consuming and unpredictable processes within the software development life cycle. As a result, many Test Case Optimisation (TCO) techniques have been proposed to make this process more scalable. Object Constraint Language (OCL) was initially introduced as a constraint language to provide additional details to UML models. However, as OCL continues to evolve, an increasing number of systems are being expressed by this language. Despite this growth, a noticeable research gap exists for the testing of systems whose specifications are expressed in OCL. In our previous work, we verified the effectiveness and efficiency of performing the Test Case Prioritisation (TCP) process for these systems. In this study, we extend our previous work by integrating the Test Case Minimisation (TCM) process to determine whether TCM can also benefit the testing process under the context of OCL. The evaluation of TCO approaches often relies on well-established metrics such as the Average Percentage of Fault Detection (APFD). However, the suitability of APFD for Model-Based Testing (MBT) is not ideal. This paper addresses this limitation by proposing a modification to the APFD metric to enhance its viability for MBT scenarios. We conducted four case studies to evaluate the feasibility of integrating the TCM and TCP processes in our proposed approach. In these studies, we applied the multi-objective optimisation algorithm NSGA-II and the genetic algorithm independently to the TCM and TCP processes. The objective was to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of combining TCM and TCP in enhancing the testing phase. Through experimental analysis, the results highlight the benefits of integrating TCM and TCP in the context of OCL-based testing, providing valuable insights for practitioners and researchers aiming to optimise their testing efforts. Specifically, the main contributions of this work include: 1). We introduce the integration of the TCM process into the TCO process for systems expressed by OCL. This integration benefits the testing process further by reducing redundant test cases while ensuring sufficient coverage. 2). We comprehensively analyse the limitations associated with the commonly used metric, APFD, and then a modified version of the APFD metric has been proposed to overcome these weaknesses. 3). We systematically evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of OCL-based TCO processes on four real-world case studies with different complexities.

This study aims to design a payroll information system for Gadingsari Village Owned Enterprises to reduce errors in the payroll process. The data collection method uses empirical studies with descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches. While the design method used is the waterfall method by conducting analysis, planning, design, system implementation, experimentation, and system maintenance. The resulting system is a payroll system that can accommodate quite large data such as employee data, benefits, job information, employee's latest education, and employee status. and a more accurate and faster salary calculation. This payroll information system has an employee attendance feature to record outgoing and incoming employee data. shows that this system is easy to navigate, easy to operate, provides sufficient features, precise and accurate salary calculation process, good data storage, and appropriate output. From this system, all payroll processes will be more precise, thorough, and faster than the previous manual system used by Gadingsari village owned enterprises.

Employee performance appraisal is one of the main processes in managing human resources in a company. PT. Siba Prima Utama Feed Mill evaluates employee performance to assist leaders in making decisions that affect increasing work productivity. Currently, the assessment process is done manually. It causes problems of subjectivity, inaccuracy, and lack of transparency. Employee performance appraisal application is designed to facilitate a computerized appraisal process. The assessment method includes performance results-based evaluation that can define clear and measurable performance goals and involves the sociometric method to map social interactions between employees. This helps direct employee focus and ensures assessment objectives are met. The application is equipped with practical feedback features through a transparent environment. Application development is built using the waterfall method and through black-box testing and SUS (System Usability Scale). The black box test results were declared valid. The SUS test yielded 78 points that were categorized in the excellent standard, which means the application was feasible properly. The employee performance application system is a solution to improve the performance appraisal process more efficiently and objectively.
