The idea for this project is to design an application, encompassing all the techniques and tools learnt throughout the academy.
The project must be built and design to host a Help Queue application,
where users will be able to log issues, entering a queue system.
The project should include the following features;
Create basic functionality for the application, including full CRUD. Users will be ab le to:
- Create new tickets and add them to the queue
- View tickets in the current queue from oldest to newest
- Delete existing tickets in the queue
- Update existing tickets in the queue
When a ticket is being marked as "Done", users should be able to add a solution to that ticket, allowing other users to see the solutions to a problem that has already been solved.
Implement a help queue per cohort, such that trainees can navigate to their cohort to see the help queue specific to their class.
A cohort page should display the trainers and trainees can make up that cohort.
Implement a search bar feature, so that users can filter tickets based on keywords.

A full risk assessment was carried out before commencing with project tasks. The whole assessment can be found at the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dbGavZvYB49_sulU9LrpJMsQJbQKQnIY7yc4-30rA4o/edit#gid=0
Jira was used to track the project progress. 5 Sprints were completed over the course of the project. Full details can be found at the following link: https://ms9.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=6&projectKey=PT
Below we describe the users experience when using the site, this is done in a flowchart diagram, where the user can access different pages in a structured environment.
The frontend of the application was tested using Jest and the React-render-library. Snapshots were employed on all components to ensure code consistency post deployment. Unit testing was completed on key application fucntionality such as [insert list when done]. A view of the coverage report can be seen below:
