Black Box Testing of Palmviews Using BVA and EP: A Case Study at PTPN IV Regional 2

Abstract

PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional 2 developed the Palmviews application as a daily monitoring system for palm oil production. To ensure the reliability of the system in handling various user inputs, this study applied the Black Box Testing method with Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) and Equivalence Partitioning (EP) techniques. Testing was carried out on three main features, namely the login form, the date range filter on the dashboard, and the production data input form. BVA was used to test input value boundaries such as dates and numerical data, while EP was used to classify inputs into valid and invalid categories. The testing results recorded 18 test scenarios, with 17 valid and 1 invalid. Effectiveness calculations showed the system had a success rate of 94.44%, categorized as highly effective based on evaluation standards. This study concluded that the Palmviews application operates in accordance with expected functionality and is suitable for use as a decision-support tool in the company's operational environment.
