This method was chosen because alternative ranking focuses on the shortest distance to the positive ideal solution and longest distance to the negative ideal solution.

Software development model for this application used iterative method through stages of analysis, design, implementation and testing phases. Iterative development in this application performed with two iterations.

Testing of this application used McCall's software quality factors from the perspective of product operations that include correctness, reliability, efficiency, integrity, and usability factor. Testing on correctness factor showed that this application qualifies user requirement specification of MAN Karanganyar. Testing on reliability factor performed using Apache JMeter software and obtained the result that as many as 20 users did not experience a failure accessing applications simultaneously, whereas the "input weights" and the "calculation" pages could only be accessed by single user.
