On Monday this week the documents and testing team was able to start the change manual document. We looked at the website and decided what pages of the website should be used for screen shots in order to explain how to go about changing content for the website. I was supposed to be able to send out my testing form to my group of testers on Monday, but the Frontend team was still making changes to the website. Therefore, the links were not working, so it would be pointless to send out my testing form since the website did not work.

The final week of the project was most likely one of the busiest for the documents and testing team. Most of my time was spent working on the validation portion of our report. The page went through CSS validation through the W3C CSS validator Wednesday evening. One error and a few questionable browser specific issues were discovered. I reported these problems to the coding teams. As of Friday morning the validation service gave our CSS code a clean bill of health.

This week proved to be crunch time for the documents and testing team. While the deadline for a working website was Monday it still was not ready for testing then. As a result we ended up waiting until Wednesday to be able to send out our testing forms. On Monday then the group discussed how we would go about constructing the change document. This was done by creating a simple outline of the document and pulling some screen captures from the website. I worked on the project again on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday morning I sent out my forms to the testing audience.

This week was the final week to get the work done. Monday I was unfortunately sick and decided to miss one class. This proved to be slightly foolish as a lot happened that day. But regardless, I can mostly just talk about Wednesday for working.

This week was very busy for our team. The front end and back end teams finally had a running website so we could begin on the change document and testing. We were still waiting on Monday, but in class we discussed testing plans and the outline of the change document. We came up with a layout and started editing images for the change document. On Tuesday, I made a list of everything that I needed to do to contribute to this project in the final week. Wednesday morning, I sent out an e-mail to my list of testers with the link to the website and a link to the survey that I had created.

This week was another stand still for the documents and testing group. Monday we were supposed to start getting some feedback from the backend team in order to begin writing the change document, but they ended up not being quite ready since they were still waiting on the front-end team to complete some of their tasks first.

This week was another slow week for the documents and testing group. Monday was there was not much to do since none of the front-end code had been started. This put all of the groups at a stand still. However, the group was able to collaborate on how we could format the change document and conduct the testing. Monday proved to be the slowest day of the week and this was all that was accomplished.

This week was probably the least productive period for the documents and testing team. As of now we have only a single page to work with, so adjusting the design plan is no more of a possibility than when we had the static .JPEG mockup of the site. Once the pages are all built and links ready I will be able to run them through CSS and HTML validators to make sure the coding is sound. After that I will send my audience survey out and wait for feedback on how easy or difficult it is to update the site. The next step will be to build the change document.

This week was very slow for the documents and testing team. I was out of town on Monday, but I talked on instant messenger during class to see what I was supposed to work on for the next class. After talking to Scott, we were still waiting on the front end and back end teams to have a working website to create the change document and to start the testing. So therefore, I did not work any outside of class for Wednesday.

The documents and testing group is still waiting on getting the code so we can begin creating the change document. Even though we cannot start on the change document, we have talked about how we want to organize the document, that way we will know where to get started once we do get the code. It was hard to find something to work on this week in order to contribute to this project since we are at a bit of a stand still. However, I did email the psychology club president at Purdue to see if she could have some of her members take the volunteers section's survey based on the new website.
