Progress Report (Week 5)

Design Document First Draft
Similarlyto how we handled the SRS document, we split up sections of the design document and delegated them to individual team members. We met throughout the week to check up on each other and get an idea of the overall progress.

Individual Tasks (1 hour per person):Everyone: Install Android SDK and Eclipse plugins if they haven't already
Andrew: Software Interface Description
Lindsey: Android Interface Guidelines
Thomas: External GUI Components/Frameworks
Ian: Native GUI Components


Meetings (~4 Hours)
For Monday, we each designed a UML class diagram of our system (30 minutes each) and met for 1 hour after class. We compared our diagrams and decided upon a new design that incorporated pieces from our individual designs. Andrew created a digital version of the new diagram.

For Wednesday we met for half an hour and delegated prototype responsibilities amongst the team (Andrew/Ian did a prototype of the settings view and Thomas/Lindsey did a prototype of the main view) and checked up on the individual tasks.

Saturday we met for 3 hours to combine our individual work into the design document and complete the remaining sections (i.e. user interface description, sub-component descriptions) as a group.

Goals for Next Week
Start working towards being ready for the 3rd deliverable (having a testable interface by the end of week 7). This means that we will need to decide on a type of version control and set up our repository. We will also need to begin the actual development and decide who will be coding which parts of the project.
