Day 36: System Function Testing and Improvement

Today, I proceeded with the testing of the developed system from both the audit staff and auditee perspectives to ensure that the functions, data flow, and navigation between pages operate smoothly and according to the intended process. The testing process included checking the login functions, submission and display of information, communication flow between users, and the accessibility of the system features from different user roles.

During the testing process, several minor issues and inconsistencies were identified and reviewed for further improvement. Some adjustments were required to ensure that the displayed data was accurate, the page transitions functioned properly, and the interaction between the users and the system remained smooth and organised.

Besides that, I also checked the responsiveness of the interface, the accuracy of the displayed information, and the usability of the system to ensure that users can easily access and use the system efficiently. Attention was also given to the arrangement of the interface and the consistency of the design to maintain a professional and user-friendly appearance throughout the system.

Necessary adjustments and refinements were made based on the testing results and feedback received. Further improvements and testing will continue to be carried out to enhance the overall functionality, reliability, and effectiveness of the system before it can be fully utilised.

From today’s testing activities, I gained a better understanding of the importance of evaluating a system from different user perspectives to ensure that the functions, navigation flow, and data handling processes operate smoothly and effectively. By testing the system as both audit staff and auditee, I was able to identify several areas that required improvement to enhance the overall usability and performance of the system.

In addition, the testing process helped me realise the importance of data accuracy, interface responsiveness, and smooth interaction between system functions in providing a positive user experience. The identified issues and inconsistencies also improved my problem-solving and analytical thinking skills, as I needed to review and refine the system to ensure that it functions according to the intended process.

Overall, this experience strengthened my technical skills in system testing and enhancement while also improving my understanding of user-centred system development and continuous improvement processes.

First Day of Internship!

I started my first day of internship by reporting for duty at the MAIDAM office at 8:00 a.m. I was required to fill in the Act 88 form (Official Secrets Act, Appendix E). Then, I was assigned to my department, the Internal Audit Unit, where I had a brief introduction session with all the unit members, including the Information Technology team, who share the same office space. In the Internal Audit Unit, there are four members consisting of a Head of Internal Audit, a Senior Assistant, and two Assistants. After that, I began familiarizing myself with the scope of work and audit procedures in the department by reading the Internal Audit Manual, Treasury Instructions, flowcharts, and audit procedure manuals. I was also assisted in downloading the attendance application for clock-in and clock-out purposes and was given an access card. In addition, I was given a small task to suggest improvements that could enhance the overall efficiency of the workflow, as well as to provide any genera...

Day 7 of My Internship

Today went as usual as I continued working on my report and adding features to the system. The system is functional, but not completely good yet, as there are still many improvements that can be made to make it more convenient, efficient, and distinct from the usual systems used. Furthermore, I also had the opportunity to attend a Raya celebration at Yayasan Pendidikan Maidam at their office. It was a great experience as I got to meet and get to know various officers from different departments while enjoying our time together. In addition, I had the chance to consult with an assistant from the Internal Audit Unit about another type of system. He explained a system they have proposed to the Information Technology department and discussed whether it could be developed through in-sourcing. The system is related to maintaining an audit trail when they are questioning their clients. I have taken this into consideration and compared the feasibility of both systems to decide which system I s...

Day 4 as an Intern

I started my fourth day by reviewing my draft project and continuing to work on it. The Senior Assistant explained to me the use of Treasury regulations and circulars in auditing files for various departments in the government statutory sector. Today, I focused on reading and studying contract-related documents, including Treasury Act 169D, Government Procurement 2.10 (Direct Purchase for Supplies and Services), Government Procurement 2.11 (Direct Appointment and Requisition Works), and Government Procurement 4.2 (Letter of Acceptance, Government Orders, and Government Indent for Procurement). Specific exposure was given to me, as these matters will be discussed in a meeting scheduled for next week, and I can take this as a real-life example for future reference. I have also been informed that there will be an upcoming audit on wakaf, where I will be able to experience the actual audit process.  The Head of Unit also mentioned about about the sampling process, and I decided to revi...
