Usability Testing of Weather Monitoring on Android Application

Uncertain weather changes have the large potential impact if the community does not have the awareness of the importance of knowing the changes in the weather and the resulting impacts. Various technologies have been developed and utilized to solve these problems. WeMo application was an example of the development and utilization of Android-based technology that can be used to monitor weather data in the surrounding environment and as a space for students at Diponegoro University to share information related to weather changes. Applications that have been developed need to be tested to ensure that users can use the application easily and measure the extent to which users can use the application to achieve the goal. Therefore, this research does usability testing on WeMo Applications with respondents from different backgrounds. There are two approaches to usability testing, namely Questionnaire-based and Performance-based evaluation. The results of usability testing using the task completion mechanism show that the effectiveness score of the WeMo application was 93.33% and overall relative efficiency score reached 91.57%. Based on the results of the questionnaire, learnability WeMo application reaches 83.6% and satisfaction was 83.2% which means it belongs to the category of “good” or good in accordance with adjective ratings.
