This week was mostly a collaborative week as the team worked together to bring the project into its final MVP form ahead of the demo.
On the application side, I finished up the front-end application and got it into its final MVP state. This included removing leftover testing buttons, cleaning up the UI, and integrating a new content scraping library that finally works to strip out headers and unnecessary information that had been getting passed through the pipeline. That extra noise was degrading the quality of our output, so getting clean text extraction working was a meaningful step forward.
Most of my week was focused on testing. I worked with Leonard to create and refine the testing materials, where I took on building the rubric and designing the general testing flow. I created the forms, conducted user tests, and also helped troubleshoot some final integration issues we were running into on Mac.
After testing, I helped with the final presentation by creating the metrics slides. This involved doing some Excel analysis to bucket the form criteria into a cohesive metrics table. I also gathered qualitative insights from the user sessions that will help us going into next week as we look to refine features and improve the MVP for the final demo.
Going into our final week, the goal is to use the user feedback to polish features and make the project as strong as possible for the demo.
