Products

Name: Geforce now

Platform: Mac OS

Research 1. Getting Started experience

The software to be evaluated this time is Geforce now, the main function of this software is to provide users with cloud gaming experience. Specifically, the software is to move the 3 a that would otherwise need to run on the local host to the server, and Geforce now is responsible for instant interaction between the game screen in the cloud and the user's operation.

2.bug

Geforce now a few days to use down the main found two more serious bugs

One is GeForce now after login to refresh the game list interface, there will be a need to log back in the situation

Second, once the network situation is not stable, long time black screen and can not use the normal way to quit the program, you need to open the Task Manager for processing.

3.bug Analysis

• The first bug, that is, the interface refresh will cause the need to re-login problems, the software may not have a very complete state-saving mechanism, each refresh with the login status is emptied.
• The second bug, that is, when the network condition problems, suspended animation. This may be because the software does not have a complete processing mechanism, the network connection should be broken when the user should be prompted with pop-up, rather than continue to make the request caused by suspended animation.

 4. User interview

• Interview with Xiao Ming is a school of the Senior Software engineering students, because programming needs to use the Mac OS. Xiao Ming's home is not a big rich, so Xiao Ming only consider owning a computer, do not intend to add separately. But, Xiao Ming is a 3 a puzzle, a day not to eat chicken body uncomfortable baby, the demand for the game is extremely urgent.
• above is the user portrait, next do use analysis. We analyze the geforce now mainly in four dimensions: the richness of the game, the ease of use of the interface, and the performance of the software. Xiao Ming opened the software and looked at the game list, um ~ eat chicken, buttocks, cs go these games I need to have, what? There's also radiation 4, Ark and humiliation 2. Xiao Ming again looked at the end of the game list, silently in the material richness of that column hit a very. Then Xiao Ming spent half a minute looking for the registration button in the interface, but finally found the registered entry in the login button, the interface ease of use need to buckle a point. Click the game directly after login to install->launch and start to enjoy. But after opening the game and then pop up the login screen, you need to enter the account password again login, and then deducted a point. After login can also be successful to see the return screen, you need to login steam, and then to play. And the use of their own computers are not two. j into the game after all the operation is not any problem, because there is no mainland server so delay and drop frame is more terrible, hanging on the United States after the game belongs to play, but the experience is not good, I believe the effect of Hong Kong agent will be much better. This is not a flaw in the software itself, after all, we are the wall. Final evaluation down game richness 10 points, interface ease of use 6 points, software performance 6 points, minimal probability there is a crash phenomenon.
• Xiao Ming is still satisfied with Geforce now, the improvement opinion has two points. One is to hope that Geforce now can bind steam, so you don't need to log in to steam every time you play . Second, it is hoped that it can set up a server on the continental shelf as soon as possible, and now the delay will cause people to have occasional emotional collapse.
• In the case where Geforce now does not have a server on the continental Shelf, I recommend it as "General".

Analysis

Function: Geforce now has aclear functional directivity and does not have excessive functionality:

• Remote gaming with streaming media

Interface Ease of Use	Small probability of collapse	High reliability
Aesthetic degree of the interface	The interface is simple and clear, so you can see all the features at the first glance	Too many functions, messy, and a strong rustic atmosphere
Gaming Experience	The lag frame caused by network delay is obvious	To achieve a better gaming experience
Charging standard	Beta stage, temporarily free	Single game monthly 15.99 Yuan

Overall,GeForce Now's weakness is mainly focused on the network problems brought by overseas servers, once the network problem is resolved,GeForce will undoubtedly become the best cloud gaming service on the market.

Recommendations and Planning 1. If you are a project manager, how can you improve and win in the competition?

Cloud game The main threshold in this area is the richness of the game, but also a major direction to enhance competitiveness. And in this direction GeForce now has done very well. The next thing to do is to optimize the users of mainland China, after all, this is a very large market, and there are a few users of the demand.

2. What kind of products are available on the market?

Glyd Cloud, PS now

3. What kind of features do you want to design?

A software function does not have to be too complicated, cloud game is good cloud game. Swiss saber-style software always has a paved, rustic flavor.

4. Why do you want to do this function, not other features?

Well, see.

5. Why does the user use your product /feature?

Some users only want to have a common computer while also taking into account the needs of the game, then the cloud game function will be very valuable.

6. What would be different if you were to lead the team?

I would like GeForce now to continue to focus on the field of cloud gaming, and then consider joining the game distribution function when the perfect feature is complete (ie, the job of steam)

7. If your team has 5 people, 4 months of time, you as the project manager, how to configure the role (development, testing, art, etc.)

I will configure 3 backend Development 1 front-end development of 1 artists. (The test should be done by the developer and is highly disapproved of a different tester)

First week:

Design core functions for rapid and agile development, hoping to use test-driven development, while completing the overall function of the program at the same time, the test is done synchronously.

Tenth Week:

Do alpha testing, fix bugs, and make sure the user experience isn't too bad.

12th Week:

After a big bug, beta testing, free beta, allows users to make bug feeds and fix bugs quickly during this time .
