Develop a prototype of an interactive database and application to track designated insects species.
Program usability aspects
Accessibility
Highlighting the ability to be able to be used by a large demographic of people, especially people effected by disabilities.
Effectiveness
The measurability of the performance of the website job. How efficient and easy can the users store data.
Safety
Data breaching and common design principalities that prevent the user from losing information or key projects.
Utility
Does the website function in clearly and is structure. How useful is it to the users.
Learnability
If the website functions in a easy and beginner friendly way. Especially the first time operating the application.
Users
Admin
Able to make editorial changes, privy to the needs and functionality characteristics that are needed from the client.
Scientists
A easy user interface, that can withhold the data stored, distinct structure and can be used by everyone and every platform. How well the application can "monitor and track community sightings of a designated species of insect".
Existing solutions
Microsoft Excel
A spreadsheet software, that has a similar purpose. The most well-known data entry program, that has a wide range of tools at the user's disposal. A downside of using Excel, is that it takes a large learning curve to be efficient at storing data.
Database and application features
Database
Safely and securely store information without the risk of being susceptible to data breaching or losing saves. Can easily access information, and sort it alphabetically, chronologically, and numerically.
Application
Allows scientists to type new species/discoveries in the most efficient way possible, can optionally fill in other categories such as size, colour, details, age, sex etc. Can communicate to the database to store said information.
