Experiment/Evaluation wrap up and Meeting with Ian
Experiment/Evaluation wrap up
- Finished collecting evaluation study from the test subjects
- Should start to collate the data from the evaluation
Meeting with Ian
- Discussed the evaluation
- Summarized the main points regarding the evaluation
- The XML generator part would be solved if given more time
- Emulators
- Found that the Sun emulators return incorrect layout information about the components on the screen. However this seems to be fine for the vendor specific emulators.
- Regarding the vendor specific emulators inconsistencies with the following were found:
- The component size - Emulator for the particular device did not return the correct width and height of a component
- The Image screen space usage - Images displayed on the emulator took up a different amount of screen space than when executed on the physical device.
- Memory usage - Different memory consumption values were returned for the execution of a test script.
- Develop examples showing layout and timing behavior
- Also add functionality to connect to other devices using Bluetooth.
- J2ME API
- The Java ME API is limited in what kind of information can be retrieved about a mobile device. E.g. The battery level cannot be found. However counter to this example, the Motorola vendor allows for the access to the battery level via a request of a system property.
- Conference Paper
- Start writing the evaluation section for the conference paper.
- Might be good to incorporate things like example scripts in the evaluation section.
- Focus on getting all the text out, and then can work on filtering out repetition later.
By Next Meeting (Mon 25 Aug 1pm)
- Aim to have the battery level thing done
- Do a bluetooth connectivity test
- Try to think of where it would be possible to have a new kind of check supported!
