We are about a third of the way through the spring semester as of today. This week Team Stratagem continued to improve our application’s user interface and our application’s backend, not directly visible to the user. We are working on beginning user testing of our prototype application and we have made some important decisions as to how our application will function. We are preparing a video demonstration to send to our liaisons at CAE, who will then forward the video to other CAE project managers, and will also send us their feedback. We are also tentatively organizing a site visit in March but this is preliminary. Our original implementation idea of our application was a client-server model where end users accessed the application on their device, but most computations and data storage would happen on a central server. Fortunately modern computers are fast and we are now planning to do computations and store results on the user’s local machine, and enable CAE engineers to expand to server storage if needed. It is not easy to show our new intended backend implementation, so we have screenshots of our current UI below. Will, Caleigh, and Rachel have done an amazing job on improving user views and editability of project schedules.
