SE401:Group32:Tool LOW-FI Prototype
LOW-FI Prototype Scope Definition
Goals
Before proceeding into the heavy implementation stages, a low feature prototype will be built. The following are the goals aimed to be achieved for the Low-Fi prototype:
- Be able to set-up communication between the Server (PC Workstation) and the mobile device
- Execution of a basic message sent from the server, in the form of a string object
- Have to be able to decompose the message to be executed on the client mobile application
- Once message is decomposed, we need a way to intercept events. Possible solution: Implementing our own event handlers.
- Once the event is fired, we need a way to obtain the information about the mobile GUI component that fired the event. Possible Solution: Reflection
Out-of scope
Because this is a prototype only the major features of the tool will be looked at. Therefore the following tasks are out of scope for the prototype.
- Test Script generation with the use a stand-alone application
- XML definition/specification for test scripts
- Automatic test report generation after execution of the test sript instruction
Current Tasks
The following are the current tasks relating to the LOW-FI body.
- Find a mobile application that we can have tests developed for.
- If it is not possible to find one, may have to develop our own.
- Download some development tools and review them with repsect to which would be best for our purposes.
- Possible Tools: jVise, Net Beans 6.0
