Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of user acceptance of the web-based Internal Control System (SPIN) using the Empirical Test-Based Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach via the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) procedure. For achieving the purpose of the study, data was gathered from the UAT outcome of 40 test cases in the four major modules: login function, master data function, approval function, and reporting function. The outcome demonstrated 100% success rate PASS in all the modules. The application of the study minimizes the limitations associated with the traditional TAM by incorporating facts from carrying out system testing exercises through the Empirical Test-Based TAM approach based on the UAT procedure. The study also expands the TAM theoretical framework from the 'perception construct level’ to the construct level of facts pertaining to behaviors of the users based on the UAT procedure result.
