Usability & Mobile Application 2 - APP PROJECT
Usability & Mobile Application - App Project
1 April, 2019 (Week 1)
On the first week of class, we were briefed of the module outlines. We were suggested to make amends to out previous apps that we were working on last semester. After the brief session, we consulted our previous apps with Mr. Kannan. He gave his feedback, suggestion and things to consider for any changes to be made.
Things to consider for changes:
More research and looking on other apps are required to know the different looks and layout they provide also their features.
3 April, 2019 (Week 1)
On the first week of the second meeting of class, we do usability testing with the juniors; 1 semester below us.
Test objectives:
What are the goals of the usability test? What Specific questions will be answered?
Do people understand how to navigate to the workout section?
Participants:
How many participants will be participating?
Minimum of 2 people
Test Tasks:
What are the test tasks?
1. Sign up for the app
2. Get the participant to do a back pain reliever workout
3. Get the participant to share and rate their experiences after the workout
4. Exploring the app such as the profiles, reminder page, statistic report (history of their workout)

Analysis of Usability Testing
From the data that is gathered through the video, analysis is made to understand the user experience and make changes out of it to improve the app.
Positive feedback is given wherein the app is simple and easy to understand. However, I decided to make changes in the logo, some of the icons and also adding some features to enhance the app.

On the forth week of class, I did some consultation regarding the design of the app with Mr. Kannan. Some slight changes should be made regarding the icon and the content of the app. The color scheme was changed as well after some feedback given. In terms of some of the pages, I was given a feedback on adding some animation in order to make it engaging.
Specific feedback and advice were given such as the navigation bar, I need to combined some information and just put the important things that people are looking for and want to see such as news, information of prevention or causes for the pain to trigger and position that you need to avoid. For the column 'Report' the word can be changed to achievement. For the reminder navigation, I need to make the clock a bit bigger and enable the use to scroll up and down to change the number clock (reference: clock in the phone). Description of how to do the exercise can be changed to number bullet points instead of using dashes. Final design layout will be on week 8.
1 May, 2019 (Week 5)
On the fifth week of class, we were being recapped on PhoneGap and did some exercise to try it out how to create a new file and link it with J-Query code, create a button, create a panel and make it appear in our phone with the help of the app downloaded in mobile called 'phone gap'.
8 May, 2019 (Week 6)
On the sixth week of class, we were taught on how to code using J-Query and some of the template code were given as a reference to guide us throughout the design for the app. As our task for this week, we were asked to complete the first page of out mobile app layout code it in dreamweaver.
Website reference links in help to create the first page layout:
jQuery code website: https://jquerymobile.com/download/
jQuery code for Grids: https://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.5/grids/
link an Icons to dreamweaver: https://fontawesome.com/icons/facebook-f?style=brands
21 May - 9 June, 2019 (Week 8 - Week 10)
On the eighth week of class, I continue revising the design of the app.

Reflection
Overall, the outcome could have been produced better. Some of the pages that are supposed to be clickable are not designed and coded due to time constraint. I have tried inputing Java Script however, it doesn't work out and some works but the page is messed up, so I decided to remove all Java script Hopefully, if I have time I still want to figure out and learn inputing Javascript. Mr. Razif does help me in finding out how to use other's code and implement it in my file but the problem doesn't stop there and limited time that I have that I can't figure it out. Therefore, my coded page is purely using html, css and J-query.
