ABSTRACT
Exotic tourism promotion for investment is one of the main
business processes carried out by the Office of Governor of
North Sulawesi Province. Using Web 2.0 technologies is one
of effective strategy to promote exotic tourism of the province
of North Sulawesi. Agile Unified Process (AUP) methodology
is one of recent method for developing information
systems/applications which are concise and comprehensive,
emphasize the role of the user (user-oriented) with object-
oriented development paradigm. Web Portal developed by
AUP methodology would produce web-based applications that
meet user expectations and needs in relatively short time.
Keywords— Software Development, Web 2.0, AUP, UML
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background
The using of internet by the government institution and
society rapidly grow. Internet user grows in number and
services. North Sulawesi Local Government, especially the
office of Investment Expert Staff seeing this phenomena as
opportunity to promote exotic tourism. Using Web 2.0
technology to create competitive advantage as strategic and
crusial considerations to foster investment climate for North
Sulawesi tourism. Utilization of Web based 2.0 technology is
expected to improve service, market share and shaping public
opinion by providing targeted and comprehensive information
on North Sulawesi exotic tourism, which is easily obtained by
anyone, anywhere, anytime, using any device.
B. Problems
Exotic tourism places owned by North Sulawesi Province
is threatened by the onslaught of tourism promotions of some
new entrants such as Wakatobi and Raja Ampat. While the
number of foreign tourist realtively declined over the 5 years
before, the tourism potential of Bunaken National Park is not
fully optimized by stakeholders. Lack of comprehensive
information about Bunaken National Park is one of the
reasons for the decline of foreign tourist visiting. Structuring a
comprehensive information related to the potential of tourism
places and tourism activities is one of a strategic solution that
must be done to fix the pre-eminent tourism promotion. In
addition, the information must be displayed in such as
interactive user interface, constantly available for 24/7
viewing and able to be found easily. Web Portal Amazing
North Sulawesi is expected to be effective solution.
C. Research Question
The research questions for this research are 1) How to
design architecture application using web-based 2.0 platform?;
2) How to using AUP methodology for build web-based
application?
II. THEORITICAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Software Lifecycle Models
Software lifecycle models, presented by Schach[1]
is an
ideal software development phases. This model considers the
software as a product produced in a specific sequence steps.
The specific sequence steps are: 1) Starting from scratch (i.e
starting form nothing); 2) Requirements (or needs) definitions;
3) Analysis Phase; 4) Design Stage; 5) Implementation Phase.
Sommerville[2]
presented four fundamental software lifecycle
models stage, which are; 1) Software specification; 2)
Software design and implementation; 3) Software validation;
4) Software evolution. Pressman[3]
proposed a software
generic process framework such as: 1) Communication; 2)
Planning; 3) Modelling; 4) Construction; 5) Implementation.
Dennis, Wixom and Tegarden[4]
presented information system
process models, called System Development Life Cycle
(SDLC) constructed by: 1) Planning, 2) Analisys, 3) Design, 4)
Implementation. That stages is similar which Bentley and
Whitten[5]
proposed, i.e: 1) System Initiation; 2) System
Analysis; 3) System Design and 4) System Implementation.
While Kendall and Kendall[6]
proposes 7 (seven) steps for
SDLC, i.e: 1) Identification of issues, opportunities and
objectives; 2) Determination of user information requirements;
3) Sistem requirements analysis; 4) designing a system that
hase been recommended; 5) system development and
documentation; 6) System Testing; 7) System
Impelementation and Evalution.
Software Engineering Institute – Carnegie Mellon (SEI)[7]
proposed a framework which called CMMI for Development
(CMMI – DEV). CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model®
Integration) framework is a collection of best practices that
help organization to develop software process. This model is
developed among industry, government and academia in the
SEI. CMMI-DEV, provides a comprehensive set of guidelines
related to the development of services and software products.
According to Schach[1]
, software lifecycle model contrasted
ideally to practical way because of two reasons: 1) software
practitioners are humans, tends to make mistakes, 2) users
needs and expectation tends to change when the software
being developed.
B. Unified Modelling Language (UML)
UML stand for Unified Modeling Language, a modeling
notations for software applications. Schach[1]
confirms that the
UML is a language rather than a method. As a language, UML
is used to describe software that is developed with a variety of
software development paradigm and methodology. Schach
opinion[1]
is supported by Sommerville[2]
and Pressman[3]
.

Dennis, Wixom and Tegarden[4]
support the notion that the
UML is a set of modeling standard, using diagrams. UML
aims to provide the vocabulary of object-oriented system
development paradigm in order to model all phases of
software development life cycle. Bentley and Whitten[5]
,
supports the notion that UML is a collection of commonly
agreed modeling tool for explaining the software system. A
similar proposed by Kendall and Kendall[6]
.
Fowler[8]
provide a simple definition that UML is a
collection of graphical notations, backed by single meta-
model, which help descriptions and design of software
systems, especially systems that are built using object-oriented
programming. UML is an open standard governed by the
Object Management Group (OMG), an open consortium.
OMG serves to create standards that support interoperability
of object-oriented systems. The latest version of UML is the
UML ver 2.0[9]
.
According to Kruchten[10]
, UML is a graphical language for
visualizing, specifying, constructing and documenting any
artifacts of software systems. UML supports the 4+1 View
Model of Architecture, i.e 1) The Logical View, 2) The
Implementation View, 3) The Process View and 4) The
Deployment View plus 5) The Use Case View. Model is a
complete representation of a software system, while the
architecture is focus of views on certain parts of the system
software. Or it can be said that the system architecture is the
application blueprint. Software model and software system
architecture connectedness, illustrated by the UML.
C. Agile Unified Process (AUP) Methodology
Unified Process (UP) is one of methodology for software
system development using object-oriented paradigm. UP is a
combination of several methodologies which developed by
Graddy Booch, James Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson[4]
. UP
methodology is component-based development; this means
that the working software will consist of software components
that are connected through well-defined interface.
Characteristics of the UP methodology is intended to
consistently adapt to the trend of applications/information
systems development, that increasingly large and complex.
Agile approach began to emerge in software development
in the era of the 2000s. Principles of agile approaches can be
found at Agile Alliance[11]
. Aoyama[12]
explains that the agile
approach in informatics engineering disciplines is necessary to
reduce ”slowness” at software development stages, in order to
anticipate the needs of demanding business needs which
expected to produces software with relatively short time-to-
market. Jacobson[13]
describes agile as a team that is ready to
respond to change, the changing needs of users. In this sense
means that each development team must closely cooperate
with the user in developing web based applications. Response
to anticipate the changes are the main characteristics of the
agile approach.
III. METODOLOGY
The AUP stages of problem solving methodology, followed
steps which proposed by Center of Computer Science
(Pusilkom) - University of Indonesia[14]
. This Agile UP guide
refers to the methodology created by Ambysoft Inc.[15]
(see
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
Fig. 1 AUP Phases
Fig 2. AUP Process Activities
The phases of analysis and design are as follows:
1) Inception, with the activity of defining project scope, cost
estimating and scheduling, define risks, making the feasibility
of the project and prepare a project execution environment
(team work, installation, and so on). Iteration process is done
once. Generated artifacts include Vision, Supplementary
Specification, dokumen Glossary, Gantt Chart and Iteration
Plan.
2) Elaboration, with the activity of identifying and validating
the application architecture. Iteration process can be done one
to two times. The resulting artifacts are UML Use Case,
Architecture Model (update and snapshot), Architecture
Prototype Code, Scenario Test Plan, Business Rule Document,
Updated Supplementary and Glossary Document.
3) Construction, with modeling activities, build and test
system applications (unit testing) as well as supporting
documentation. Iteration process can be done two to eight
times. The resulting artifacts are Updated Use Case, Updated
Supplementary and Glossary, Domain Model (snapshot),
UML Activity Diagram (snapshot), UML Class Diagram
(snapshot), CRC Card, UML Sequence Diagram (snapshot),
Source Code, Code Documentation, Regression Test Suite,
Acceptance Test dan Bugs Report.

4) Transition, with activity testing the system (system
integration and user testing), review the application and the
system, and installation for the working application system.
Iteration process can be done one to two times. The resulting
artifacts are System Requirement Specification Document,
System Technical Specification Document, User Installation
Manual and User Manual, Training Document, Regression
Test Suite, User Acceptance Test and Bugs Report (final
update).
AUP guide from Pusilkom UI also provides best practice
in conducting any activity in each phase. These guidelines
also distinguish artifacts generated document, as the main
artifact, artifacts, and supporting input artifacts and output
artifacts. This guide also provides LCO (Lifecycle Objective)
in the form of documents and presentations of each phase, as
targets to be achieved before proceeding to the next phase. For
the purposes of writing this paper, the authors will limit the
artifacts to be displayed.
IV.ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
A. Inception Phase
One of the main artifacts produced in this phase is the
Vision document. This document describes the
organization/project management and project scope definition.
Project management, especially related to the estimation of
the major applications to be developed, number of developer
required, included time and costs required. Defining project
scope mainly involves the identification and classification of
user requirements.
A.1 Project Management
An important part of which is related to project management
is estimate software size, the number of developers required,
working time and costs required. Software size estimation, the
number of developers required and working time are counted
using Function Point Analysis. While the project cost is
calculated by using the ROI and NPV.
A.1.1 Function Point Analysis
Lines of Code (LOC): TAFP * 44 = 152.29 * 44 = 6700
Estimate Effort Required:
(1.4*LOC)/1000 = (1.4 * 6700) = 9381/1000 LOC
= 9.3 person-month
Estimate Time Required:
(3.0 * person-months1/3
) = 3.0 * 9.31/3
= 9.1 ≈ 9 months
A.1.2 ROI and NVP
Net Present Value (NPV Cumulative): Rp 5.901.567
Return on Investment (ROI): 52.24%
Break Even Point (BEP): 2.34 bulan
A.2 Project Scope Definition
User requirements are classified into functional
requirements and non-functional requirements. The focus for
application development lies at functional requirements lists.
These functional requirements will be modeled through the
UML Use Case Diagram and UML Use Case Description.
Interviews and Questionering are technique for gathering the
functional requirements. Functional requirements are collected
from stakeholders such as project champion, users and
developer team.
A.2.1. Functional Requirements
List of functional requirements are:
1). Viewing Info
1.1 The system can display information about the ads,
profile, headline news and general articles.
1.2 The system can display links.
1.3 The system can display visitor counter for each pages.
1.4 The system can display currency value and weather
report.
2). Managing Info
2.1 Input ads, profile, news, headline and articles.
2.2 Edit ads, profile, news, headline and articles.
2.3 Delete ads, profile, news, headline and articles
2.4 Save ads, profile, news, headline and articles.
3). Collaborating
3.1 The system must provide facilities for posting and reply
comments for news, headline and articles.
3.2 The system must provide sharing features for social
media, i.e: Facebook, Twitter and G+.
3.3 The system musti provide polling feature.
A.2.2. Non-Functional Requirements
Non-functional requirements are distinguished in terms of
operational, performance and security. Some non-functional
terms to be met by the system are as follows:
Operational Requirements: 1) The system must be displayed
in Indonesian and English; 2) The system can be operated on a
smartphone, desktop and notebook on the optimal display
resolution; 3) The system must be able to work on all web
browsers; 4) The System must running through the operating
system Windows and Linux. Performance Requirements: 1)
The system must be used or operated within 24 hours a day, 7
days a week and 356 days a year; 2) Each user interaction
with the system should not be longer than 3 seconds.
Requirements for security are: 1) The system must provide
privilege access for groups of admins and users; 2) The
system must provide verification procedure for posting
comments.
B. Elaboration Phase
B.1 Use Case Model
Read Fig 3 below for UML Use Case Model.
Fig. 3 UML Use Case Diagram

One of the UML Use Case Description can be read at Fig. 4.
Fig. 4 UML Use Case Description Edit Content
B.2 Architecture Application Model
Architecture Application Model defined by object model/data
structure model, application behaviour model and interface
design layer.
B.2.1 Object Model/Data Stucture and Management
The static structure model of system application describes all
the classes and relationships between classes in the system
application. The design of data management including data
access logic manipulation layer and its actual design of the
storage. In this application is used RDBMS (relational
database management system). Using ERD Diagram as Fig. 5
below.
Fig. 5 ERD Diagram Model
B.2.2 Behaviour Model
Behavior system application model is intended to provide an
overview of the behavior of existing objects in the application.
For this paper, we just presented one of the functions systems,
called Edit Data. We have used UML Sequence Diagram to
explain behaviour system application. (Fig. 6)
Fig. 6 UML Sequence Diagram Edit Data
B.2.3 Interface Design Layer
Interface design is the process of defining how the system
interacts with an external unit. The user interface consists of 3
(three) basic parts. The first is the navigation mechanism, a
way of giving instructions to the user and the system tells the
system what to do, such as buttons and menus. The second is
the input mechanism, a way of capturing information system
(e.g a form to add news). The third is the output mechanism of
how the system provides information to users or to other
systems (e.g reports, web pages). (Fig. 7, 8 and 9).

Fig. 9 Admin Page Storyboard
C. Construction Phase
C.1 Coding
Codification process using xHTML, CSS and JavaScript. The
coding applications snapshot can be seen in Fig. 10 below
Fig. 10 Coding Snapshot
C.2 Testing Procedure
C.2.1 System Testing Purpose
The purpose of these tests:
1). To check whether the user requirements are met.
2). To ensure the error does occur in the system and fixes.
C.2.2 System Testing Criteria
Criteria for testing the system in general that the application
can be run properly and error occurred to be fixes. Some
criteria to benchmark the success of this system are as follows:
1) Applications are developed in accordance with the results
of the analysis and design are done.
2) The function or procedure being implemented properly.
C.2.3 Testing Case
The test cases can be seen in Fig. 11 and 12 below.
Fig. 11 Test Case
Fig. 12 Test Case Results
D. Transition Phase
This paper focused on analyzing and designing process,
however, planning for implementation phase also important.
Physical design architecture explains the implementation plan
for this appication. We proposed client-server achitecture to
maintain a balance between client and server processes which

have the function of each application. Client is responsible for
the presentation logic while the server is responsible for
application logic, the data access logic (RDBMS) and data
storage. Physical Design Architecture can be seen in Fig. 13
below:
Fig. 13 Physical Architecture
Other documentation for implementation phase are the User
and Installation manual. This documents will be presented to
stakeholders prior to user training.
V. CONCLUSIONS
Some conclusions from the writing of this paper include:
1) Agile Unified Process Methodology, which is abbreviated
AUP, can be used to build Web-based applications with
object-oriented approach. Main characteristic of this AUP
methodology is stakeholder active involvement.
2) UML version 2.0 can be used as tools for making software
model in detail and simple, so it is very useful for developers
and users. When used in the AUP methodology, precision is
required in selecting of UML diagrams appropriate for
developers and easily understood by the user; to the
effectiveness of each process related with analysis and design
process. In practical terms, UML can be represented in the
form of sketches.
3) Development of Web-based applications using the AUP
methodology have higher relative risk of scope creep. It takes
a careful risk control process by the developer and
stakeholders.
4) North Sulawesi Amazing Web Portal can be a reasonable
solution as a web-based media 2.0 campaign to foster North
Sulawesi Province tourism investment.
