 Abstract

Technology is continually evolving, leading to unexpected breakthroughs, especially evident during the pandemic. The modern era has enhanced the quality of life for many people, and computer programs have transformed how individuals connect with each other and the world. This study aims to develop a National Service Training Program (NSTP) Portal System for the Department of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the region. The researcher used developmental research methodologies, which involve examining, describing, and assessing the product development process. The system's source code was written in PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery, following the Agile Process. MySQL was used to create the system's database, storing all data, records, and information. The study employed developmental research methods to analyze and describe the product development process and evaluate the final product. Additionally, a descriptive research approach was used to gather information through survey questionnaires to assess the system's validity in terms of its features. This evaluation was conducted using a survey instrument based on the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards. Department heads, academics, and students were consulted during the data collection for the portal development. The system's creation was successful.
