SE401:Group32:August 8

Meeting with Ian

Implementation

• Provided an overview of the implementation over the week
  • Application testing cannot be done on the PDA due to the different profiles being run from the one that we are using.
  • Successfully incorporated motorola mobile devices for Hermes

• A good talking point in the report/conference paper is that when tests such as aesthetics and memory consumption are run on the various devices differences are picked up by the tool.
  • Hence the focus of the project has now changed to say that everything can be tested, and that we test things that can be different with mobile devices.

Evaluation

• Survey Questions
  • Should have structured questions as well as open questions.
    • 1. How many defects did they find? What were they?
      2. What they thought of Hermes?
      3. Suggestions for improvements?

• Conducting the evaluation
  • Give a brief introduction of the system/what the application does
  • Show them the specifications for the system
    • Demonstrate the XML
    • Let them type the XML (after showing them an XML script that satisfies a requirement)
    • Mention how many needed help

Extensibility

• For supporting a new kind of check the scenario of battery status may be a suitable discussion to satisfy this extensibility.
• Another extension point would be the sending of bytecode over bluetooth to support a new kind of action being incorporated in the Hermes test suite.

Further work

• Developing a plug-in/tool that forms a hierarchy of the forms and components using in a Java ME application.
