This research is motivated by the importance of skill assessment in pharmacy physics laboratory learning. In general, laboratory skills assessments do not have a specific standard for each assessment. When students perform their performance and skills in doing practicum, they are not well observed and measured. An alternative assessment that can measure a pharmacy physics laboratory's skill is to use a performance assessment. This study aims to design a digital performance assessment application that can be used to assess student laboratory skills. The development of a digital performance assessment application uses the Waterfall Model Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach, which consists of the main stages of needs analysis, system and software design, system implementation and testing, and maintenance. The digital performance assessment design generally consists of an assessment instrument database and a user interface. Lecturers, as experts, are tasked with making assessment instruments. Meanwhile, the user interface is used by laboratory assistants/instructors to provide skill scores during student practicum. This application is then integrated with the existing web-based electronic module (e-mulsi). In the end, students can see the overall practicum score. The design of a digital performance assessment application is an alternative in a learning assessment platform that is more interesting, actual, and able to present real-time information on practicum learning in the laboratory. Policymakers are expected to consider integrating the use of these applications into a practical learning curriculum. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
