Employee Payroll Accounting Application Using Extreme ProgrammingDevelopment Method

Abstract

Technology allows company structures to become more effective
and efficient for payroll system applications, as almost all parts of
the company have adopted this technology. One such company, PT.
Langgeng Engineering Tehnik Indonesia, which produces and sells
spare parts, has an HR department responsible for managing
extensive employee data, including payroll data. The process is
currently done manually with the help of Microsoft Excel,
requiring a high level of accuracy and being very prone to errors.
The most significant issue is certainly payroll management, as it
relates to the company's finances and employee welfare. To reduce
the risk of errors in managing this data, particularly payroll, this
research aims to contribute by creating a payroll application
designed to facilitate management in processing and disbursing
salaries to every employee working in the company, while also
minimizing the risk of errors in management. The application is
built using the Extreme Programming method, which offers
advantages in terms of rapid development, efficiency, adaptability,
and flexibility. This application is developed as a desktop-based
solution using Java programming language, as its users are limited
and it is intended for internal company use. The application is
tested using Black Box testing, a technique that evaluates the
functionality without considering the internal structure of
components or systems. The testing is conducted with eight
scenarios, and all tests yield valid results.
