III DISCUSSION
3.4 Blackbox Testing
One of the blackbox testing methods is focus group discussion (FGD). FGD is a research method by Irwanto (Irwanto, 2006)
is defined as a process of collecting information about a very specific issues through group discussion. Beyond its function as a scientific research method, Krueger &
Casey (Krueger, 1998)
mentions, FGD basically can also be used in a domains and objectives variety , such as decision-making, product development or program, determine customer satisfaction, and so on. According Koentjoro (Koentjoro, 2005)
uses FGD among others: as a data collection tool, as a means to

ensure data collection (researcher) as well as re-check tool for a wide range of information / information obtained through various research methods used or the information obtained earlier, good description of similar or conflicting. The advantages of FGD by Krueger (Krueger, 1998)
a. FGD is one of the socially-oriented research procedure to put a man on the position and the actual situation.
b. Forms discussion guides provide flexibility for participants to dig deeper opinion and spacious.
c. Have a face-to-face high validity and easy to do on the cheap d. Results of FGD can be obtained quickly.
e. FGD allows researchers to increase the size and number of samples without increasing need time for the interview.
The first testing phase is validation testing, the testing process is done to make sure the software that has been made in accordance with the expected functional requirements specification.
The activities carried out in the Focus Group Discussion successful team meeting prospective local elections and was attended by 23 participants as respondents, from successful team of 8 people, a witness from the team of 15 people voting. To start the discussion focused, researchers conducted a presentation and demo shows real count applications that have been made and explain any existing functionality based instruments that have been prepared. After notice and know how to operate a real application of this count, then respondents were given the opportunity to try the direct use.
Furthermore FGD participants will provide information, feedback and approval form to that already provided by the researcher before the respondent tried on each computer. Form validation testing with FGD. Based on the experiments performed by the respondents, it will obtain the results of functional testing of the system based on the needs of each user. The test is performed to determine whether all the functions contained in this application is able to operate properly or not. Functional testing of systems addressed to all users and sackholder. Based on the results of focus group discussions, it can be concluded that the application of the real count is in conformity with the specification of functional requirements required of the user. Therefore, based on the analysis, design and construction of software for the creation of real applications count based sms gateway to function properly and produce a good validation.
IV CONCLUSION
Based on the discussion can be summarized as follow:
a. Real count application sms gateway based can work well to obtain fast and accurate calculation results in the election event.
b. If there is minimal fraud in the election process, of course the leader choose from that election is the best person who really one society choose. By using this application can minimize the time and fund.
c. Using blackbox testing by focus group discussion methods with stackholder, election staff, and succes team as responden, we can conclude that the application of the real count is in conformity with the specification of functional requirements required of the user. Therefore, based on the analysis, design and construction of software for the creation of real applications count based sms gateway to function properly and produce a good validation.
