The Project Redo the web interface for the RHAP Create a friendly user interface Fix search engine.

The Old System

Diagram of Old System Client Web Server Database “Samuel ” Query: select * from IAIT.OBJECT Table of Results Formatted Results

Dislikes of Old System Too slow. Client receives entire database then does its own searching Client receives entire database then does its own searching Memory intensive Memory intensive Too complicated Theme inconsistent with rest of Library page Does not work!

Requirements of New System It must work It must use the existing database Make it easily expandable The rest is up to us

Essential things to finish Fully implement basic search capability Parse and display search results Add advanced search support Build the surrounding web pages Check compatibility with different client environments

Extras Implement a dynamic browsing tree Sort search results by relevancy Research better searching methods Fully support streaming audio and video

Screen shot of prototype

Perl Script Example We will now see a search using our script

Time Analysis for Winter Quarter

Time Distribution for Spring Quarter

What We Have Learned Use of Prototype to elicit requirements Worked very well Worked very well Gave us requirements on more than UI Gave us requirements on more than UI Communication with team Missed meetings Missed meetings Documents late Documents late Wasted Time Wasted Time

What We Have Learned(cont.) Communication with IAIT Needed acess to existing files Needed acess to existing files Needed executable rights to our script Needed executable rights to our script Working with a pre-existing system There can be less work to do There can be less work to do There can be more work to do fixing it There can be more work to do fixing it

Current Status Interface Design is complete Backend Design is complete Ready to start implementing the system Ready to start implementing the system Waiting for dev environment to be working Waiting for dev environment to be working

Risk Analysis Mitigation A - Decision to change the DB field structure Modify parsing script and searching script Modify parsing script and searching script Migrate records from old DB to new DB field structure Migrate records from old DB to new DB field structure B - IAIT decides to stop supporting Perl Re-write scripts in other languages IAIT supports Re-write scripts in other languages IAIT supports C - We run out of time Request members to put more hours into the project, when delay is detected Request members to put more hours into the project, when delay is detected Leave behind clear and concise documentation for next developer Leave behind clear and concise documentation for next developer D - Client dislikes Interface Modify Interface to client’s new specifications Modify Interface to client’s new specifications E - Members abandon team Remaining team members put more hours into the project Remaining team members put more hours into the project Recruit new members Recruit new members

Will we finish? Yes Currently ahead of schedule Currently ahead of schedule Feel that we know the system really well Feel that we know the system really well We have a smart hard working team We have a smart hard working team
