|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />

<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

* There was some hold-back due to the API web service. As we are dependent on our client with this aspect, we decided to just push it to the next iteration as we are subjected to our client's availability. What we can do was to simulate it on a local server, until the client's server is up, there is not much point merely waiting. We decided to use the time to better prepare for our mid-term.<br />

* Before Mid-term, the client changed from single problem game to 10 problem games.

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we decided to write scripts to automate Regression Testing. We approached this by leveraging on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we decided to write scripts to automate Regression Testing. We approached this by leveraging on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we decided to write scripts to automate Regression Testing. We approached this by leveraging on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we decided to write scripts to automate Regression Testing. We approached this by leveraging on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

|| Tournament <br />
|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />
|| The team received a list of requirements from client's client. Due to agreed upon requirements and team's limited time, team decided to complete this requirement. Team would have to allocate time to complete this. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 26/03/2014<br />
|| Tournament<br />
|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Include tournament collaborator feature in the Tournament feature. This is so that client's client would have the school directors be able to have a higher control over the tournament. <br />

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

* There was some hold-back due to the API web service. As we are dependent on our client with this aspect, we decided to just push it to the next iteration as we are subjected to our client's availability. What we can do was to simulate it on a local server, until the client's server is up, there is not much point merely waiting. We decided to use the time to better prepare for our mid-term.<br />

* Before Mid-term, the client changed from single problem game to 10 problem games. However, this time, he realized that he requires each game to be created separately (back-end) while functon the same(front-end) in order for him to derive the necessary data for his research. The data derived from this feature is <b> Valuable </b> for our client's current research progress. <br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we decided to write scripts to automate Regression Testing. We approached this by leveraging on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />

|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />

|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />

|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />

<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />

<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />

<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
<br />
==Quality of product== <br />
<!--Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|| Tournament <br />
|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />
|| The team received a list of requirements from client's client. Due to agreed upon requirements and team's limited time, team decided to complete this requirement. Team would have to allocate time to complete this. <br />

|| Tournament<br />
|| Not part of scope <br />

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
** A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
** We found out that tournament participants were not clicking on the button to confirm that their assigned mentor has arrived, to mitigate that we have included a non-intrusive prompt.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />

|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

* There was some hold-back due to the API web service. As we are dependent on our client with this aspect, we decided to just push it to the next iteration as we are subjected to our client's availability. What we can do was to simulate it on a local server, until the client's server is up, there is not much point merely waiting. We decided to use the time to better prepare for our mid-term.<br />

[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
* A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />
<br />

|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
* A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />
|| The team received a list of requirements from client's client. Due to agreed upon requirements and team's limited time, team decided to complete this requirement. Team would have to allocate time to complete this. <br />

<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== From Mid-Term to Finals ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
# Had to understand if requested changes were within scope or not<br />
||<br />
# Project manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Disorganised mode of communication between team, client and external stakeholders.<br />
||<br />
# Team used e-mail to keep track of bugs, stories and other requests from client and our external stakeholders, including our live users.<br />
# As a result, team members did not know which bug they had to respond to.<br />
# Team also needed to consolidate the changes the client requested to determine which ones are relevant or non-essential to the scope.<br />
||<br />
# Adopted Pivotal Tracker<br />
# Client can assign stories or bugs <br />
# Project manager will look through the stories and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate<br />
|-<br />
| 3 <br />
|| Unexpected disagreement with external stakeholders<br />
|| <br />
# Team met up with external stakeholder to teach faculty about team's features. <br />
# External stakeholder had different expectations and was disappointed in both team and client.<br />
# Team asked external stakeholder for their specific expectations<br />
|| <br />
# Team talked to Supervisor and client <br />
# Followed instructions and told client how we can meet external stakeholder in the middle<br />
# Completed requested feature and asked client to liaise with external stakeholder <br />

* There was some hold-back due to the API web service. As we are dependent on our client with this aspect, we decided to just push it to the next iteration as we are subjected to our client's availability. What we can do was to simulate it on a local server, until the client's server is up, there is not much point merely waiting. We decided to use the time to better prepare for our mid-term.<br />

* Before Mid-term, the client changed from single problem game to 10 problem games.

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy.

<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

===Testing:===<br />
<br />
'''Regression Test'''<br /><br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''User Test'''<br /><br />
We employed a variety of evaluation techniques learnt from IS306 class the previous semester. The evaluation tests that we administered include the following methods:<br />
# Lab Experiment<br />
# Heuristic Evaluation<br />
# Field Study<br />
# Sample Survey<br />
# Judgement Study<br />
# [http://www.intuitionhq.com/blog/2011/04/ab-and-preference-testing-for-usability/| Preference Test]<br />
<br />
Summary of all the tests done:<br />
* A total of 5 tests has been conducted so far, out of the 5 tests, 4 were conducted with live users utilizing Singpath on actual use cases.<br />
* First test confirmed that our usability was on the right track, subsequent tests serve to refine our core functionality - Group Based Tournaments.<br />
* Provided solid value added-ness to our client by ensuring that the live tournaments were able to progress smoothly (which it did).<br />
* Minor hiccups observed during tournaments were resolved by the subsequent tournament(s).<br />
* A mischievous student tried to mess up our UI by setting his name to a long String, an incident which we immediately rectified by limiting text input as well as text display.<br />
* Recognizing the importance of an attractive landing page, we decide to value add to the project by coming up with a new UI for the landing page and conducted a Preference Test to find out which landing page they prefer; an overwhelming majority chose our newly redesigned one which is now shown in the Live Site of Singpath.<br /><br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
<br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br />
<br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''How it works'''<br /><br />
<br />
Test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br /><br />
<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
<br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br />
<br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
How it works is that the test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br />
<br />
'''Results/Outcome'''<br />
Extended routeSpec.js test scripts by 125%, added 26 additional routing to the existing 19.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Win-win - our live deployment will never be shown 'broken pages', future teams can make use of our scripts (Value Add for Client)<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
<br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br />
<br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
How it works is that the test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br />

Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
<br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br />
<br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
How it works is that the test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify our Client as well as showing the test results (success or failure) with our pull request (pre-deployment check). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br />

=Regression Test=<br />
Adhering to the advice given by reviewers during Mid Term Review, we leveraged on the Automated Testing capabilities of Singpath and further extended it.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Although there are many different ways to implement the scripts for automated testing, we have decided on the one that is the most cost-effective in terms of resources required - E2E test<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Automated E2E Tests'''<br /><br />
<br />
As our features in Singpath is already on the Live Server since Mid Terms, our development work may affect the existing codes and the most obvious indication that Singpath broke is not so much on the logic, but the view/display layer (User Interface). <br /><br />
<br /><br />
To the end users, the pages will simply not load/show if there is something wrong with our code, to address that issue, we have specifically zeroed in to write additional test scripts to cover all of our pages.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
How it works is that the test scripts are written into a file within the application, and will be executed when it is sent to Travis CI, a distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub, which is the repository that we have been using for the development of Singpath. <br /><br />
<br />
Travis CI automatically detects when a commit has been made and pushed to a GitHub repository that is using Travis CI, and each time this happens, it will try to build the project and run tests. Travis CI will also build and run pull requests. When that process has completed, it will notify a developer in the way it has been configured to do so[6] — for example, by sending an email containing the test results (showing success or failure). <br /><br />
<br />
What this means is that every time we commit and send a pull request, the test script is run automatically and we will be shown a result whether something in our new codes 'broke' the application. With this, we are confident to say that every time we push new changes to the live site, the view/display layer will always render.<br />

|| Not part of scope <br />
|| Create a CSV file format that would include Tournament and Round details <br />
|| The team received a list of requirements from client's client. Due to agreed upon requirements and team's limited time, team decided to complete this requirement. Team would have to allocate time to complete this. <br />

|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| When sharing the Ranking page under Events feature via Facebook, those who click on the Ranking page link will only view Ranking for that Events and would not know what the Ranking is for. <br />
|| Client wants to add "I'd like to participate" and other buttons on the Ranking page so that those who access the shared link would know it is an event that they themselves might want to join, watch or keep updated about. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 11/03/2014<br />
|| Events <br />
|| No check box available to send RSVP to those who signed up for Tournament at one shot.<br />
|| Client wants check box option "Select All" that let's school facilitators to send RSVP to all the students in an event. <br />
|| As this is a UI change, this will be taken into consideration<br />
|-<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 09/03/2014<br />
|| Mastery Based Coaching <br />
|| Client wanted 10 questions per game. <br />
|| Now Client wants 1 question per game. Logic will follow as such:<br/><br />
#Click Next problem<br/><br />
#New single problem game gets created<br/><br />
#Click run to solve problem<br/><br />
#Repeat until problem solved or player clicks "Skip Problem"<br/><br />
#Clear all boxes once game is over and wait for next problem to be pressed<br/><br />
|| As this is a major change in logic, team will only take into consideration a part of the change like taking the response per question and push it into the database<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current feature instead of trying to add on top of the existing feature. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Easy Web Prototyping<br />
|| To do up a single page to implement simple Plunkr code. Save the text that people put in one box and insert it into an iFrame that renders it as a web page.<br />
|| Client changed feature name to 'Portfolio'. <br />
|| This feature will be <b>dropped</b>. The team realised that the scope of this change is of a large scale and it would be best for the team to focus on polishing the current features instead of adding new features <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| 04/03/2014<br />
|| Web Dev Games<br />
|| To do up two modules, HTML and AngularJS on Practice page for users to learn. The games will be similar to Easy web prototyping by having live rendering of the codes as user codes. Client wanted users to code out HTML, JS and CSS file. <br />
|| There will no longer be multiple files. Instead, the feature will be implementing E2E (End to End) testing.<br />
|| Team took this requirement change into consideration since the task is deemed doable with team's current resources (sufficient time, manpower available, etc.)<br />

!! S/N !! Challenge !! Consequence !! Action<br />
|-<br />
| 1<br />
|| Client often made changes to the team's scope.<br />
|| <br />
# Caused delays in iterations<br />
# Team had to consistently re-adjust priorities and resources<br />
||<br />
# Project Manager discussed with client to fully understand the requirements<br />
# Convinced client the additional requests he had was not necessary and would not affect the success of this project<br />
# Team logged changes that the client requested and documented the action taken <br />
# Discussed and agreed on a direction.(Removed Wed Prototyping, Problem Contribution and Map Registration)<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| 2<br />
|| Sometimes emails become to messy to track request, bugs or any conversation especially when there is multiple stake holders. Since the system is also live, users are consistently giving feedbacks. We needed a way to track all of these whist also determine if they are important/within scope or non-essential<br />
||<br />
# Implement the use of Pivitol Tracker<br />
# Client can assign change or bugs reported in there.<br />
# Project manager will look through it and respond accordingly. (Accept/reject/clarify)<br />
# Centralized system to communicate.<br />

* There was some hold-back due to the API web service. As we are dependent on our client with this aspect, we decided to just push it to the next iteration as we are subjected to our client's availability. What we can do was to simulate it on a local server, until the client's server is up, there is not much point merely waiting. We decided to use the time to better prepare for our mid-term.<br />

* Before Mid-term, the client changed from single problem game to 10 problem games.

The data derived from this feature is <b> Valuable </b> for our client's current research progress. <br />

=== Project Risk ===<br />
[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
<br />
==Quality of product== <br />
<!--Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 99.3%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<div>==Project Progress Summary==<br />
<br />
Place your Final slides link and deployed site link here<br />
<br />
For proposal, please see Requrements at the Project Deliverables. This will help us understand your scope. Note wiki policy [[Help:Contents|here]].<br />
<br />
This page should NOT be too long. It should link to other pages in the IS480 team wiki. Do not repeat the proposal, midterm or other wiki information here. Highlight changes since [[IS480_Midterm_Wiki | midterm]].<br />
<br />
Describe the project progress briefly here. Is the project completed? Link to the final presentation slides and videos.<br />
<br />
===Project Highlights:===<br />
<br />
What unexpected events occurred and how were they handled?<br />
*A team member left the project and dropped the course<br />
*List of requirement changes <br />
** CRUD items replaced with CU/Sync/Archive items<br />
** Business analytics replaced with iPad client<br />
*Took 8 weeks to learn Ruby on Rails<br />
*etc. <br />
Be brief. A couple of sentences on the event and another couple on what was done is sufficient. Do not repeat the next sub sections. If there are no highlights, remove this section<br />
<br />
===Project Challenges:===<br />
<br />
Describe areas of the project that were particularly difficult and how they were dealt with, whether successfully or not. Again, a few sentences are enough. If there are no challenges, remove this section.<br />
<br />
===Project Achievements:===<br />
<br />
Methods, technologies, processes, teamwork, etc. which were particularly successful – highlight things which worked very well towards completing the project. A bulleted list of one to two sentences each will do. If there are no achievement, remove this section.<br />
<br />
==Project Management==<br />
<br />
Provide more details about the status, schedule and the scope of the project. Describe the complexity of the project.<br />
<br />
===Project Schedule (Plan Vs Actual):===<br />
<br />
Compare the project plan during midterm with the actual work done at this point. Briefly describe a summary here. Everything went as plan, everything has changed and the team is working on a new project with new sponsors or the supervisor is missing. A good source for this section comes from the project weekly report.<br />
<br />
Provide a comparison of the plan and actual schedule. Has the project scope expanded or reduced? You can use the table below or your own gantt charts.<br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
<br />
Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.<br />
<br />
==Quality of product==<br />
<br />
Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc. <br />

<br />
Not all parts of the deliverables are necessary but the evidence should be convincing of the scope.<br />
<br />
=== Quality:===<br />
<br />
Explain the quality attributes (non functional) of your project deliverables. Have you designed the architecture, use a design pattern, etc? Does your architecture address scalability, performance, reliability, availability, fault tolerance, usability, etc. Does your design address maintainability, flexibility, configurability, etc. Be brief here but you can link to diagrams or code detail pages. Do not repeat the technical complexity part, link to it if necessary.<br />
<br />
===Deployment:===<br />
<br />
In an iterative approach, ready to use system should be available (deployed) for client and instructions to access the system described here (user name). If necessary, provide a [[IS480_Final_Wiki#Project_Deliverables: | deployment diagram link]].<br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
Describe the testing done on your system. For example, the number of user testing, tester profile, test cases, survey results, issue tracker, bug reports, etc.<br />
<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<br />
Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.<br />
<br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.<br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.<br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=File:GENShYFT_MidTerm_Slides_2.pdf&diff=180512File:GENShYFT MidTerm Slides 2.pdf2014-02-21T08:17:44Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: </p>

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress to a large extent.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| <br />
Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />
|-<br />

<br />
===Project Challenges===<br />
==== Challenges in General====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Testing and development is complex since team needs to code and test on 3 different platforms: localhost, development and live SingPath. Hence, higher scaled features like Tournament is complex to deploy. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<!--Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.--><br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
''Improved Communication''<br />
Let it be within the team or with our client, our team has learnt to express their opinions in such a way that the team member or the client would be able to understand. In order to understand what our client exactly wants, we insist on doing up a rough sketch to have a better grasp of what our client wants.<br />
<br />
''Knowledge Sharing Environment''<br />
The team has been able to accomplish thus far as members are helpful towards on another if they are unable to solve a critical bug or even understand how to implement certain frameworks or language like AngularJS.<br />
<!--Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.--><br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
[[Image:indReflection_midterm_GENSHYFT2.jpg | 1000px|center]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.--><br />
<br />
<!--===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.--></div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=GenSHYFT_Mid_Term_Wiki&diff=180455GenSHYFT Mid Term Wiki2014-02-21T01:12:52Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: /* Project Progress Summary */</p>

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress to a large extent.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />

Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />

This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />
|-<br />

<br/><br />
<br />
===Project Challenges===<br />
==== Challenges in General====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Some features were dependent of existing codes. However, some of those codes were buggy. As a result, the team had to trace through the existing codes and remove all problems before we could proceed with ours. Having no reference to documentation or understanding of previous codes increase the difficulty of finding bugs. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
# Testing for Group-based tournament is complex<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
<br />
==Quality of product== <br />
<!--Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<!--Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.--><br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
''Improved Communication''<br />
Let it be within the team or with our client, our team has learnt to express their opinions in such a way that the team member or the client would be able to understand. In order to understand what our client exactly wants, we insist on doing up a rough sketch to have a better grasp of what our client wants.<br />
<br />
''Knowledge Sharing Environment''<br />
The team has been able to accomplish thus far as members are helpful towards on another if they are unable to solve a critical bug or even understand how to implement certain frameworks or language like AngularJS.<br />
<!--Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.--><br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
[[Image:indReflection_midterm_GENSHYFT.jpg | 1000px|center]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.--><br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=GenSHYFT_Mid_Term_Wiki&diff=180454GenSHYFT Mid Term Wiki2014-02-21T01:10:43Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: </p>

|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />
|-<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| <br />
Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />

===Project Challenges===<br />
==== Challenges in General====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Some features were dependent of existing codes. However, some of those codes were buggy. As a result, the team had to trace through the existing codes and remove all problems before we could proceed with ours. Having no reference to documentation or understanding of previous codes increase the difficulty of finding bugs. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
# Testing for Group-based tournament is complex<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />

==Quality of product== <br />
<!--Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc.--><br />

===Quality Attributes===<br />
====Availability====<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
====Flexibility====<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
====Interoperability====<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
====Usability====<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
====Scalability====<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

<br />
===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />

<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<!--Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.--><br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
''Improved Communication''<br />
Let it be within the team or with our client, our team has learnt to express their opinions in such a way that the team member or the client would be able to understand. In order to understand what our client exactly wants, we insist on doing up a rough sketch to have a better grasp of what our client wants.<br />
<br />
''Knowledge Sharing Environment''<br />
The team has been able to accomplish thus far as members are helpful towards on another if they are unable to solve a critical bug or even understand how to implement certain frameworks or language like AngularJS.<br />
<!--Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.--><br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
[[Image:indReflection_midterm_GENSHYFT.jpg | 1000px|center]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.--><br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=GenSHYFT_Mid_Term_Wiki&diff=180451GenSHYFT Mid Term Wiki2014-02-20T23:45:17Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: /* Scalability */</p>

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress to a large extent.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| <br />
Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />

<br />
===Project Challenges===<br />
==== Challenges in General====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

|| Developer's Documentation<br />
|| 9th Feb<br />
|| <br />
* Client wanted a technical documentation stating the API calls and explanation of codes.<br />
* Client wanted this ASAP.<br />
* Shanaaz, who was BA/Co-PM was assigned to do this documentation.<br />
<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="5"| <br />
* Client made several scope changes such as UI, Data structures and New Features. Almost every functionality had changes.<br />
* Tournament Competition had changed of dates which requires the team to re-prioritize while Client has different priorities along the way.<br />
* The team decided to put Web Development prototype on hold.<br />

[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Mid Term Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Some features were dependent of existing codes. However, some of those codes were buggy. As a result, the team had to trace through the existing codes and remove all problems before we could proceed with ours. Having no reference to documentation or understanding of previous codes increase the difficulty of finding bugs. [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_usecase#Deployment_Process|Click here to see SingPath's Deployment Process]] <br/><br />
# Testing for Group-based tournament is complex<br />
# Need to compare users' scores from the levels they have practised under Practice section for Mastery-based coaching to measure the user's percentile. These statistics would also be used to find out the user's weak areas, based on the number of attempts with respect to a question and the time taken. <br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
<br />
==Quality Attributes==<br />
===Availability===<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
===Flexibility===<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
===Interoperability===<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
===Usability===<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
===Scalability===<br />
* Automatic Scalability (Infinitely Scalable) as advertised by GAE<br />
** "Automatic scaling is built in with App Engine, all you have to do is write your application code and we'll do the rest. No matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet your needs." - [https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ Google App Engine]<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath at the same time during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<!--Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.--><br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
''Improved Communication''<br />
Let it be within the team or with our client, our team has learnt to express their opinions in such a way that the team member or the client would be able to understand. In order to understand what our client exactly wants, we insist on doing up a rough sketch to have a better grasp of what our client wants.<br />
<br />
''Knowledge Sharing Environment''<br />
The team has been able to accomplish thus far as members are helpful towards on another if they are unable to solve a critical bug or even understand how to implement certain frameworks or language like AngularJS.<br />
<!--Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.--><br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
[[Image:indReflection_midterm_GENSHYFT.jpg | 1000px|center]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.--><br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=GenSHYFT_Mid_Term_Wiki&diff=180350GenSHYFT Mid Term Wiki2014-02-20T16:47:55Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: /* Testability */</p>

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress to a large extent.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| <br />
Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />

<br />
===Project Challenges:===<br />
==== Challenges in General:====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

=== Project Risk ===<br />
[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Some features were dependent of existing codes. However, some of those codes were buggy. As a result, the team had to trace<br />
through the existing codes and remove all problems before we could proceed with ours. Having no reference to documentation or understanding of previous codes increase the difficulty of finding bugs.<br />
# Duplicate a legacy system that the client wanted without having any real reference to its function,features or codes until much later.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
==Quality Attributes==<br />
===Availability===<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
===Flexibility===<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
===Interoperability===<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
===Usability===<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
===Scalability===<br />
* Automatic Infinite Scalability of Google App Engine<br />
** According to Google, no matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet any need<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath concurrently during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />
<br />
<!--http://apparchguide.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Chapter%207%20-%20Quality%20Attributes--><br />
==Quality of product==<br />
<br />
Provide more details about the quality of your work. For example, you designed a flexible configurable system using XML.config files, uses Strategy Design Pattern to allow plugging in different strategy, implement a regular expression parser to map a flexible formula editor, etc. <br />

===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />
<br />
For more details - please refer to the [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_User|GENShYFT Tests Page]]<br />
<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<br />
Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.<br />
<br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.<br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.<br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=GenSHYFT_Mid_Term_Wiki&diff=180347GenSHYFT Mid Term Wiki2014-02-20T16:44:56Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: </p>

|-<br />
<br />
|- style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Registration & Tracking<br />
|| Map that allows user to see the number of players registered with respect to each school. <br />
|| Added to scope, event ranking for event, display the people who have done mastery based coaching and purpose driven, badges, Events map, badges and levels completed.<br />
|| This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:white; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| Users would be able to resolve questions that they solved below their average performance in the past<br />
|| User should redo any question that they have attempted before on the Practice page<br />
|| This change was implemented as it was still early in the development process. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Client will provide audio files and text captions for the Coaches<br />
|| <br />
Client requested team to do up the audio files and text captions for the Coaches either personally or engage in professional services. <br />
|| <br />
Team decided to do the files up personally instead as it would take longer time if it was done by professionals. This change was implemented as client did not have materials ready yet. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors will be images <br />
|| <br />
Pictures of mentors in animated GIF format<br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as this was UI fix but requirement change was not of high importance<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player select mentor, language and difficulty. Player will select as such for each Mastery coaching session.<br />
|| <br />
On landing page, player only selects mentor and language. User does not need to select the difficulty.<br><br />
If user has played a Mastery coaching session before, previously selected mentor and language will be the default mentor and language. Have the option "Continue", "Change Mentor" and "Change Language" for existing users of Mastery coaching. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team was in the midst of developing this feature and it was of utmost priority since client wanted to show it to RP and IDA<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Mastery_Based_Coaching View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
Client wants an admin page for Mastery-based coaching<br />
|| <br />
This feature was not taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realise feature is too complex to implement. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Mastery-based Coaching<br />
|| <br />
When user starts the Mastery coaching session, user will be starting a new session<br />
|| <br />
For each question,a new Mastery coaching session is launched.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| UI discussed as such in prototype [https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_proto#Purpose-Driven_Video View Paper Prototype]<br />
|| <br />
UI changed after prototyping, client changed position of video and feedback. The buttons for the options to answer the feedback has been changed from slider to radio button and as of recent (9/2) normal button. <br />
||This change was implemented as it was mostly a UI issue.<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
This option did not exist when signing off prototype <br />
|| <br />
Client wants a video gallery below (on the page that the user is viewing the video). It would indicate which videos are locked and unlocked. This translated into a change in the data structure. <br />
|| <br />
This change is implemented because team assessed the requirement change and realised it would make sense for the video gallery to appear so that player knows the videos he has unlocked so far. <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development <br />
|| <br />
No Admin page was discussed during the paper prototype sign off <br />
|| <br />
Client wants an Admin page where he can manage the videos to upload on the Purpose page. He wants to be able to copy and paste the link, description of the video, survey question for each video and thumbnail image of the video. <br />
|| <br />
This feature was taken into consideration as team tried to develop it and realised feature is not too complex to implement<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Purpose Driven Development<br />
|| <br />
Client wanted to have a landing page where user can select unlocked to video to watch.<br />
|| <br />
Client does not want a landing page. He wants an indication on the video gallery which was the last watched video. This would result in a change in data structure<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament <br />
|| <br />
Team could use client's existing data structure for Tournament. <br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to create a new heat so that tournament game information is not attached to the rounds but to the heat instead.<br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. Did not affect team's development progress.<br />

Tournament feature (existing) used to make calls to different APIs <br />
|| <br />
Tournament feature now called to one API which the team created. <br />
|| <br />
Taken into consideration. This did not affect team's development progress to a large extent and team thought it was wise to have this feature call to one API<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Create Tournament<br />
|| <br />
Team discussed with client regarding the UI of this page using paper prototypes<br />
|| <br />
Client wants team to follow the page layout of an older version of SingPath <br />
|| <br />
Team first attempted Client's suggestion and realised it was possible to implement this change as it focused more on UI<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Group-based Tournament - Live Ranking<br />
|| <br />
'Country' field on the live ranking page<br />
|| <br />
Remove 'country' field and add 'last solved time' <br />
|| <br />
This requirement change will be taken into consideration after mid-terms as this requirement is recent (9/2) and team has yet to finish up the minimum requirements<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|-style="background:silver; color:black"<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| SingPath users would be able to request for an event by SingPath, Sponsorship Collaboration or Donate to SingPath. (Initially secondary feature)<br />
|| <br />
Client wants Events to be where users would be able to sign up for a tournament. <br />
||<br />
This affected manpower allocation to a large extent. <br/><br />
Team reviewed requirement change and realised it is a vital feature if users need platform to sign up for tournament. <br/><br />
Allocated team member who was assisting with developing back-end APIs to develop this feature. <br/><br/><br />
'' * This feature was added right before acceptance presentation - not included in the acceptance proposal '' <br/><br />
'' * Secondary feature previously - now primary feature so students can sign up for upcoming tournaments on 21st & 29th March 2014''<br />
|-<br />
<br />
|| Events Registration<br />
|| <br />
Platform for participants to join and database will take note of who has signed up.<br />
|| <br />
Include a table that shows the number of students registered, school they are from, who is coming for the event, rank them according to the problems solved,back button to return to Events Registration page, Top 50 with a cutoff line at 40, Facebook share button, highlight current player, always put the current player in the bottom row and if current player is not in top 50, don't show their rank. They should be able to see how many problems they are away from moving ahead of number 50.<br />
|| <br />
This requirement change was taken into consideration as team was in the amidst of coding the feature.<br />

<br />
===Project Challenges:===<br />
==== Challenges in General:====<br />
* New coding language; Team had to learn AngularJS to start developing the features<br />
** No one on the team had prior experience with AngularJS, as such the team spent the December holidays to understand how to develop in AngularJS and this was done in tandem with the development of their assigned features<br />
* Needed to understand and debug some of the existing codes<br />
** This was a bottleneck to some of our features like Mastery-based Coaching; we decided to solve the codes that impacted our development progress<br />
* Meeting Client’s KPI (i.e. Get 80 users to register on SingPath by Feb 22)<br />
** Had to develop an Events Registration page, previously a secondary feature, where students can sign up in order for the team to hit this goal<br />
* Need to understand SingPath Architecture<br />
** Before development started, team needed to understand how their developed features could be pushed to the live website hence a meeting with the client was set-up to have a better insight on this. <br />
* Changing requirements (as seen above) <br />
** Action taken is mentioned in the table above<br />
* Limited access to back-end server<br />
** Team liaised with client whenever team is ready to deploy features on to the live website<br />

[[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Project_Management_risk| <b> Click to View Project Risk </b>]]<br />
<br />
===Technical Complexity:===<br />
# Some features were dependent of existing codes. However, some of those codes were buggy. As a result, the team had to trace<br />
through the existing codes and remove all problems before we could proceed with ours. Having no reference to documentation or understanding of previous codes increase the difficulty of finding bugs.<br />
# Duplicate a legacy system that the client wanted without having any real reference to its function,features or codes until much later.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--Describe and list the technical complexity of your project in order of highest complexity first. For example, deploying on iPhone using Objective-C, customizing Drupal with own database, quick search for shortest flight path, database structure, etc.--><br />
==Quality Attributes==<br />
===Availability===<br />
* SingPath is hosted on Google App Engine. The cloud infrastructure ensures a high up-time which currently stands at 97.05%. For the latest numbers, please refer to [https://code.google.com/status/appengine GAE Status Page].<br />
<br />
===Flexibility===<br />
* The utilization of angularJS enforces a strict MVC architecture that defines clear responsibilities for each component. Business logic can be edited in the controllers without affecting the other components. <br />
<br />
===Interoperability===<br />
* SingPath uses API calls to the backend server to retrieve data in JSON format. This approach allows for easy exchange and reuse of information with both new and old systems as long as they follow this widely accepted standard.<br />
<br />
===Testability===<br />
* The angularJS framework is built with automated testing in mind. This is an area which we intend to explore further should we have the resources to do so in the next few iterations.<br />
<br />
===Usability===<br />
* We will be conducting a total of 5 User Tests to ensure that our application is well received/accepted by the final presentation.<br />
** After each User Test, we will collate all the feedback and tweak our application to make it even more user friendly.<br />
<br />
===Scalability===<br />
* Automatic Infinite Scalability of Google App Engine<br />
** According to Google, no matter how many users you have or how much data your application stores, App Engine can scale to meet any need<br />
<br />
* Tournament<br />
** Approximately 40 concurrent users will be accessing SingPath concurrently during the Tournament<br />
** Will be conducting stress/load test prior to the actual Tournament to anticipate potential performance issues and rectify accordingly<br />

===Testing:===<br />
<br />
A total of 1 User Acceptance Test has been completed along with a Heuristic Evaluation. For the UAT there was a total of 15 participants from SMU and the average age of the participants is 21.6 years old. The gender distribution of the participants is quite balanced as well. Participants were given either Tester Package A or Tester Package B. One contained detailed instructions while the other contained scenarios for the participants to follow. The participants were tasked to go through the 3 functionalities which we intended to test for UAT 1, namely - Purpose Driven Coding, Mastery Based Coaching and Events & Ranking. They wrote down the outcomes of the tasks assigned and filled in questionnaire form each which sought both qualitative and quantitative data from them such as programming languages currently known and ratings for Singpath in terms of utility and usability.<br />
<br />
The survey results were generally positive, with the majority of the feedback focusing on the user interface more than the functions of the application, an indication that our functions developed are working perfectly and that we have to assign some resource to brush up on the usability aspect. <br />
<br />
The bug points generated from the UAT was 7, which was quickly reduced to 1 as the developers were efficient in fixing the errors. <br />
<br />
Looking ahead, we have 4 more UATs to go, and with each new test we aim to provide participants with an increasingly enrapturing experience.<br />
<br />
For more details - please refer to the [[IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_User|GENShYFT Tests Page]]<br />
<br />
==Reflection==<br />
<br />
Compile common lessons and reflection for the team and for each team member. Be brief.<br />
<br />
===Team Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Key lessons learned – indicating where the team improved, or would do things differently next time. You may refer to the learning outcome summary in your proposal. A very short checklist style will suffice. It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki [[Knowledge_base | knowledge base]] and linked here.<br />
<br />
===Individual Reflection:===<br />
<br />
Describe in a paragraph, the key areas of learning or improvement. These should be personal areas of growth or learning. Each individual should list his/her effort, responsibility, actual contributions and personal reflection. Do not repeat team project contributions or member roles. Link if necessary.<br />
<br />
===Sponsor Comment:===<br />
Sometimes, the client writes a report to feedback on the system; this sponsor report can be included or linked from here.</div>Wahchun.ng.2011https://wiki.smu.edu.sg/is480/index.php?title=IS480_Team_wiki:_2013T2_GENShYFT_Documentation_User&diff=180337IS480 Team wiki: 2013T2 GENShYFT Documentation User2014-02-20T16:15:40Z<p>Wahchun.ng.2011: /* User Testing */</p>
