This week we set up the Hatchery and turned on the machines with the help of our primary liaison, Joseph Foraker. The work stations will provide a secure area for us to develop the testing suite and we expect to start holding meetings here for the test framework team.

Work on the wireframes for our prototype is nearly complete. The wireframes will inspire the final user interface of the test suite and will showcase all the functionality we hope to include in our solution. The UI is sleek and offers a dark color palate to be easier on the eyes. Although we are excited to share our progress, we can only reveal what we have done during our PID next week. The framework and UI teams are in the process of scheduling sub meetings to start brainstorming and shorty after that, development. The testing processes we received are being analyzed and we have a better idea of how to start automating them. From this, we also gained some insight on how to approach allowing the user to add their own tests in the future.

Also this week, the Quarks met with their coach to discuss midterm evaluations. We received good feedback on how to improve moving forward and what we might need to work on. Overall the whole team is doing great and we are progressing quickly. We’ll see you after PID!
