Validation of Software Quality Using Blackbox Testing A Cosmic E-Sport Web Application with Manual and Automation Testing Implementation

This research focuses on the verification and validation of the Cosmic E-Sport web application designed for the operational management of Student Activity Units. The testing methods employed include two primary approaches: manual Blackbox Testing and Automation Testing utilizing Selenium IDE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the aspects of functionality, reliability, and performance efficiency of the application. In the blackbox testing, we thoroughly examine the user interface, authentication features, member management, and the QR Code-based attendance system. Meanwhile, leveraging Selenium IDE allows us to automate critical scenarios to measure execution time efficiency compared to the manual method. The findings indicate that out of 30 manual test scenarios, 29 were declared passed (PASS) with a success rate of 96.7%, and automated testing achieved a 100% success rate with significant time efficiency. These findings are expected to offer deep insight into the readiness of the Cosmic E-Sport application in meeting organizational needs, while presenting recommendations for enhancements to improve overall software quality.
