manual system in conducting internship have caused many problems. The main problem exists
in UiTM Perlis is the manual management in internship program which involves a lot of paper,
time-consuming and poor management between academician and industry as well as students.
Thus, an internship management system using case-based in web environment is developed to
solve the problem that occurred among students, coordinator and employer. The system will
help in reducing the workload to the three users mentioned previously. Based on the system,
the requirements from the industry will be matched with the qualification from the students.
Therefore, the placement for the students will be easily generated by the system. Two methods
of testing were conducted namely heuristic evaluation and user acceptance test. The results
proved that the systematic online industrial training application system achieved very good
level of performance in terms of user interface satisfaction, usefulness and ease of use and its
