Abstract

The study, "AcadTrack: Development and Assessment of Learner’s Academic Performance Tracking System With Decision Support," aimed to digitalize the manual Student Tracking System at the College of Information and Communications Technology, Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology. It involved development and assessment phases, utilizing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for creation—encompassing planning, designing, coding, testing, and deployment. IT experts evaluated its technical aspects, while the Guidance Coordinator and Class Advisers examined its functional characteristics and effectiveness, all against ISO 25010 Software Quality Product Standards. The system was found to be suitably functional, efficient, compatible, usable, reliable, secure, maintainable, portable, and effective. The study suggests further integration with university-wide records for comprehensive performance tracking.
