Abstract :
Indonesia is a tropical country that has an
abundance of decorative plants; the orchid is one of them.
Orchids are commonly grown in Indonesia due to their
charming color. A special treatment is required to grow
an orchid properly. Among them are high air humidity,
low air temperature, and a particular amount of sunlight.
If these parameters aren't fulfilled, the orchid's growth
may be interrupted and even wilt. To solve this issue, a
system that monitors the air temperature, air humidity,
light intensity, and soil moisture and controls the air
temperature and humidity of the greenhouse is needed.
And to make the monitoring and controlling process
easier, Android and web-based applications have been
made. Both applications are tested using black-box testing
to ensure that they are easy to use. A performant and
quick application can also impact the usability of an
application. To know whether the produced applications
fit those definitions, a performance test and control delay
measurement were conducted. For the latter, the
measurement process was conducted in the Polytechnic
State of Semarang, representing a place with fast and
stable network speed, and the orchid greenhouse in
Sumowono, Semarang regency, as the opposite and onsite
location. From the black-box testing results, both
applications run as designed. The average performance of
the Android application is fairly light, while the web
application has a decently long loading time of 2680 ms on
one of the pages. For the controlling delay measurement,
the average delay in the Polytechnic State of Semarang
and the orchid greenhouse in Sumowono, Semarang
regency, was 343 ms and 6641 ms, respectively According
to the ETSI standard, the former delay is considered fair
while the latter is bad.
