Assessment item 1— Portfolio Due date: 11pm Friday of study week Portfolio Weighting: 30% Length: Less than 50 MB 1 Objectives This assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes numbers 2, 3 and 5 as stated in the online course profile. Details For your complete portfolio you are going to design, specify, implement and test a prototype of a simple web application. You are to come up with your own idea for the app you wish to prototype. Keep it simple as you have only a small amount of time during term to develop this idea. Do not try to create a complete app (unless its simple), but develop enough of it so that the essential tasks are prototyped. You will complete the portfolio in a number of stages, submitting new parts of the portfolio with each assignment. The following describes each part and when it should be submitted. App Design and Specification You are to come up with a semi-original idea for a mobile application. You are to consider what the major functions of the app will be. You are also to develop data models for the apps' important information. Discuss your idea/s with the lecturer/tutors assigned to help you with your study. When the idea has been developed document the following (if applicable): • A brief description of what the app is and what it does. • A brief discussion of the motivation for producing the app, ie who will use the app and why they will use the app. • A summary of the major tasks to be completed in developing the app. • Hand drawn wireframe prototypes of the interfaces for the user interfaces to be developed to implement the app. The hand drawn images are to be scanned in black and white at no more than 150 dpi or pixels, and saved as .pdf or .jpeg images. • A specification for the major variables and data structures used in developing the application. You should combine all the documents in a single folder and zip/ rar / tar these into an archive file. Submit this .zip, .rar or .tar document with your first assignment. If you are going to be late with this, let your lecturer know in person or by email to arrange an alternate delivery mechanism. Submission with first assignment allows for early lecturer feedback on the chosen task.App design and specification – 5 marks NAME: _____________________________ COURSE: COIT20269 Overall Performance MARK / 5 Poor Good Excellent Mark Description Well defined description of what the app is intended to be and do 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0.75 1 Motivation Well reasoned choice of target audience and likely interest 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0. 75 1 Summary of task A reasonable choice of tasks to be completed in producing the app is given 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0. 75 1 User interface prototypes Prototypes for the main user interfaces/pages in the app presented 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0. 75 1 Specification of variables and data structures The likely main variables and data structures in the app are given 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0. 75 1 Deductions: TOTAL General CommentsApp Development The app design and specification is to be used as the basis for the development of a working prototype of the app. The application should be developed using a mixture of html, css and Javascript. The components of the interfaces from the design need to be implemented and linked to the script. The main functions given in the specification should be implemented. Any data gathered by the application should be stored for later use. The main tasks to be evaluated are: • Is the css file appropriately used for style elements? • Is the structure of the html appropriate for a mobile application and are all necessary sections of html complete? • Does the Javascript capture data from the interface correctly, is the functionality of the Javascript files correct for use, is the Javascript appropriately factored, is all required Javascripts implemented? • Does the combination of css, html and Javascript provided meet expectations?App development – 20 marks Marking Sheet To be attached to your assignment NAME: _____________________________ COURSE: COIT20269 Overall Performance MARK / 10 Poor Good Excellent Mark CSS file Appropriate use of css style elements 0 0.5 0.5 1.5 1.5 2 HTML files Structure and content of HTML appropriate 0 3 3 5 5 6 Javascript files As required 0 5 5 8 8 10 Result As required 0 0.5 0.5 1.5 1.5 2 Deductions: TOTAL 20 General CommentsApp Testing, business and marketing plan You must specify a plan for testing your app. Your plan should include how you will test the Javascript and html. You should also discuss the role that emulators and real devices should play in testing. Finally include the results found from testing your app. You should discuss the business plan for your app. To do this you must determine your market demographics, how big you estimate the market is, and estimate how much you think you would be able to charge for the app. From this estimate revenue for your first year. Next estimate development, testing, marketing, maintenance costs and other costs for the year. Will you make a profit in the first year? In the second year? Finally discuss how you will go about marketing your product. You should zip/ rar / tar the document into an archive file. Submit this .zip, .rar or .tar document with your third assignment. If you are going to be late with this, let your lecturer know in person or by email to arrange an alternate delivery mechanism. If this item is not submitted by the end of study week, late penalties will apply.
