Abstract

The development of information technology encourages higher education institutions to digitalize academic systems in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of managing student data and academic grades. However, in practice, many institutions still rely on manual methods or separate applications, which leads to data synchronization issues, delays in accessing information, and a high potential for input errors. This study aims to design and develop an academic application server based on web services that is capable of managing student data and grades in an integrated, flexible, and real-time manner.

The system development method used in this research is Rapid Application Development (RAD), which emphasizes fast development through interactive processes, prototyping, and direct user involvement. The research stages include requirement planning, design and development of the API server prototype, implementation of RESTful web services, as well as system testing and evaluation.

The results show that the developed academic application server is able to provide stable services for managing student and grade data, is easily integrated with other applications, and has a faster response time compared to previous manual systems. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Black Box testing indicate that all main functions operate as expected without significant errors. In addition, the server architecture is modular, allowing further development, including integration with mobile-based applications. Thus, this study proves that the implementation of web services using the RAD method is effective in supporting efficient, accurate, and integrated academic data management in higher education environments
