Bug Metrics
Bug Score
Iteration | Bug Score | Summary of bugs | Action Taken |
---|---|---|---|
5 | 30 6 High |
Most of the bugs in this iteration were due to the date and time error on the charts. | Stop current development and resolve the bug immediately. Project Manager reschedules the project. |
8 | 32 6 High 2 Low |
The bugs were manageable. Some were due to validations, UI bugs, etc | Stop current development and resolve the bug immediately. Project Manager reschedules the project. |
9 | 8 1 High 3 Low |
Developers did thorough unit and integration testing. Hence, lesser bugs were found in this iteration. | Use the planned debugging time in the iteration |
Project Risks
Activated Risks
View our risk management here! The below table only highlights the two top risks that have been mitigated.
No | Risk Description | Impact | Likelihood | Impact | Category | Mitigation Plan | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Sponsor changes requirements on an ad hoc basis | Project schedule will be affected | Medium | Medium | B | Project Manager and Business Analyst to work with sponsor closely to monitor and modify the team plan after every iteration. Team to evaluate on a case-by-case basis | Mitigated |
2 | Unable to get the administrators to test the system as the training facility is still being built | Unable to get genuine feedback from users and hence affect the usability of the system | High | High | A | Project manager will work closely with the sponsor to source for similar training facilities and conduct observations and tests with them. Project Manager to work closely with sponsor to plan each functions. |
Mitigated |
The above two risks has been mitigated.
- Risk 1: The team implemented change management plan in order to evaluate the changes requested by the client. View our Change Management Here!
- Risk 2: Sponsor and the team went to find through their own personal contacts and managed to gather a total of 2 other training hubs to help.
Future Risks
No | Risk Description | Impact | Likelihood | Impact | Category | Mitigation Plan | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Future developers unfamiliar with technologies used | Unable to hand over to future developers for future application enhancement | High | High | A | Provide proper documentation such as deployment guide and include comments in the codes. | Mitigated |
The above two risks have not occurred. However, our team anticipated the possibility of it and managed to mitigate these risks.
Technical Complexity
Generation of Certificates
- Sterling needs to generate certificates for pupils who have completed their courses
- Populate certs in a given format and exporting them to pdf for printing
- The above image is generated from the class list
Excel Read&Write
- For the convenience of the trainer, the trainer can download a copy of the class list into excel and use it to fill up the class' grades and attendance.

Testing
We have conducted three user tests and one heuristic evaluation.
Heuristic Evaluation
- Venue: Singapore Management University, School of Information Systems
- 5 participants
- This is to learn more about the usability of our application and improve it further in our future designs. This was conducted with a paper prototype. A paper prototype was used because we want to be able to discover UI issues early, so that the cost of changing will not be so high.
