Product Vision

Making conferences meaningful by connecting people, through interests and discussions, in order to create lifetime relations.

Elevator Pitch

Our goal is to connect conference goers, helping them discuss and talk beyond the conference. By using our app, Confnect, the users will be added to different forums, depending on their interests and on the attended talks, encouraging them to ask questions, discuss and meet people with similar interests. The app includes many types of forums, including a sub-forum for each talk, in which the speaker can answer all the questions the attendees may have after the talk, and some main forums, separated by theme, where users can create their own discussions. Sure, other services like 'Reddit' allow users to discuss about various topics. But our product features an innovative functionality, which will motivate and help attendees with similar interests to physically meet up, creating a more united conference.

Architecture and Design

Logical architecture

For our high-level structure we chose the MVC Architectural Pattern, because it is a good pattern for keeping the logic, data classes and visual of the app separated, making the development easier.

The Model is the place where the data that as fetched from the database is saved, in a data class format, for the view to render.

The Controller takes care of all the logic that isn't part of how something is visualized, like accessing the database. The controller manipulates the data in the model.

The View is responsible for the visual aspect of the app, as it renders the contents of the model, according to the current context, which is given by the controller.

Physical architecture

For the physical architecture of our app, we choose to use a local database because of its simplicity and easiness to use. Initially we had planned to move the database to 'Firebase' because it is well integrated with flutter and is simple to use and that way the app could be used by multiple people, but due to time constraints that wasn't possible.

Test Plan

All our user stories have acceptance tests that have been used manually to ensure that all the features are working during the whole development of the app. In addition to that we implemented automated tests for this user stories:

• Suggest Physical Meeting
• Like and Dislike Posts
• Login Screen
• Register Screen

Firstly, we decided to implement test for the like and dislike feature, as it is a core component of our app, which users use very often. We implemented these tests first as we they thought had the simplest tests.

Secondly, we decided to implement tests for the one thing that differentiates our app from our competition, so we chose the suggest physical meeting story.

The login and register screens were both chosen because every single user has to go through this steps in order to use our app.

All these tests were implemented using the package flutter_gherkin.

Example of the Likes and Dislikes tests running:

Configuration and change management

For the configuration and change management for this project we followed the GitHub flow.

We had a master branch that was only updated when each realease was made. All the development was made in the develop branch using feature branches.

Besides these, we had a release/iterationN for each iteration, a report branch for all the work on this report, and a hotfixes branch for small and urgent fixes.

Project management

During the development of the project we used a Github Project in order to track the user stories' progress, and to assign members of the group and add estimates to them.
