CST 499 Week 6

This week I made decent progress on my capstone project, which as a reminder is a solo project to build a staff portal for Nyamboyo Technical School (NTS). Technically, the planned features are already complete and I've been working on bonus features since then.

What project milestones did you accomplish this week?

• I finalized the mobile responsiveness update for the student manager app, which allows users to use the application from a mobile device. 
• I also standardized the application actions (the buttons that are above each table on the applications). This is very important to ensure a scalable portal and simplicity for users. We decided to go with 'download template' for blank excel files, 'download data' for downloading data from the frontend table, and 'download report' for a more comprehensive excel file including all relevant columns from the application (best for organization scaling purposes). 
• I also administered our client testing; the testing went overall well, although we did find areas for improvement (this will be detailed in the testing report).  

What is your plan for next week?

• This coming week I intend to implement the final revisions to improve the portal post-testing, of which there are several. 
• We are also sharing the portal with more NTS staff to figure out how we can further improve the portal, which I look forward to. 
• After implementing revisions, I will finalize the video script, create a parallel dummy database for the video, and create visuals for the presentation. My goal is to have the video ready by the end of this weekend (August 10). 

What challenges, if any, are you currently facing in project development? Do you need instructor assistance?

• No real challenges. I will be certain to reach out in case I need help, thanks!
