Week 8

Testing commenced this week!

We figured out how to download the app onto a phone straight from the laptop. Here's what the main menu looks like:

Figure 1: This is how our application looks on a phone.

We tested the application within our own group. In the process, we found a few errors.

Figure 2: A force close error screen.

The error screen in Figure 2 occurred when we attempted to access one of the checklists in the Freshman 101 section led to a force close. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the application works in both landscape and portrait views. Examples are in Figures 3 - 6.

Figure 3: A checklist in landscape mode.

Figure 4: A checklist in portrait mode.

Figure 5: An expandable list in portrait mode.

Figure 6: An expandable list in landscape mode.

At the conclusion of our testing, we come up with a short list of things to improve. The most important items were to fix the force close error for the checklist, to get the checklists to save on their own, and to increase the size of the text in the expandable lists. Minor items included adding supplementary information and checking for grammar and spelling.

The Maps section has not been integrated into the application yet, but it is in its final stages of debugging and will be integrated and tested this week.
