Individual homework 2--English learning app case study

First part research, evaluation

Software: Microsoft Bing Dictionary ( Android Client)

version:5.5.2

First-time onboarding experience:

The overall interface is also concise, the function is complete, but there is no particular attraction to my place. Personally, I'm not going to download the Bing dictionary if it's not the job.

BUG:

1, Basic settings , language Settings, after changing the language has no effect, to exit after the entry to change.

to begin with, change Simplified Chinese to English returned to find no change, has been puzzled about the meaning of the language set where, until it happened to quit after the entry only to find that the language, this should be because the program used in the writing of the word switch is a reboot to take effect, (http:// m.blog.csdn.net/article/details?id=51260456 don't know if there's any help in this. Restart to take effect for the user, in the absence of this feature, this function becomes a device, the individual feel bad, And the change is not complete, like the picture of the "local listening" is not translated into English, although the overall effect, but the finer point should be a good thing.

2, in the word challenge, the answer to the question only gives the option, and no specific analysis.

For a topic, its role is not only to test whether the answer is correct, but also for the answer to convey the knowledge points involved in the process of solving. (Although a lot of work has been added, this is also a reflection of the user's responsibility)

3, the reaction speed is too slow, in this fast-growing network era, this waiting to complete the process of reaction is very bad ah.

4, I am curious why I learned the first word in the picture, the progress bar is unchanged, but the above number is ?

Interview:

1, Background and demand: In the school junior students, is the level of six and efforts. I hope to use a dictionary to look up new words, sentences, memorize words, listen to English radio practice listening.

2. users use photos:

Software: Microsoft Bing Dictionary ( IOS Client)

version:4.5.1

3. User experience:

(1) There is no chance for the answer to be re-elected between each question, and the answer appears too short.

(2) The function of translating words and sentences is found in the menu bar "dictionary" and "translation", and it is not necessary.

(3) a sentence of the day to show the box is too large to obscure the picture, affecting the aesthetic.

(4) The phenomenon of flash-back is too serious.

User suggestions:

Bing Radio, in addition to American slow English, should also increase the normal speed and fast to improve listening.

Software Evaluation:

Generally, improvements are needed.

The second part of the analysis

1. Time estimate:

Total time: seven months X = 7

Specific as follows:

Develop project plan: two weeks

Requirements Development phase: two weeks

System design phase: one month

Code Development and Unit testing phase: four months

test work: one month

Generally speaking, a computer university graduate, has done 1 times similar development work should also be good, assumes n=1.

According to the empirical formula on the software engineering book Y = X±x÷n = 7±7÷1 Approximately the actual time spent should be around 14 months.

2, similar comparison:

	Bing Dictionary	Youdao Dictionary	Spark English
Interface	Simple	Simple	Beautiful
Function	So so	So so	Better
Practicability	So so	Better	So so

Part III recommendations and planning 1.If you are a project manager, how can you improve and win in the competition?

If I were a project manager, the first thing I had to do was to improve the UI design and enhance the UI beautification. For users, the first impression is critical, and many users focus on the visual experience, and without a compelling interface, it is difficult to retain the heart that the user wants to continue to understand. Then is to increase publicity, when your Software "fire", naturally willing to download the use of more people. However, the most must not forget the user's needs, to investigate the user's preferences, taste, and then targeted to make user satisfaction with the product.

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

Youdao dictionary, Spark English, PowerWord, Oxford Dictionary, Baidu translation, lingoes word bully , etc.

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

1, special, in line with the popular aesthetic fashion UI interface;

2, a huge "circle of Friends", users can publish dynamic, used to ask questions, solve other people's problems, share the dictionary does not have English articles.

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

1, the first impression is really important!!! Therefore, beautify the UI interface must be;

2, now most of the translation tools are more blunt translation, which makes many users lose confidence in the product, and added such a function, users can express their own problems in the post, there are professional backstage staff (with excellent English ability) to be artificial doubts, while other users can also comment out their ideas, Find the best solution.

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

Can do other products do not have, but is the user needs of the function, what worry users do not use it.

6. Where is your innovation? can be analyzed with NABCD

1, N (need demand)

(1) People always like beautiful things, this is a kind of unclear needs, in the face of a variety of similar software, users more inclined to choose the first look particularly comfortable products.

(2) Most users of similar software are not satisfied with the translation of the sentence function, and there is no product that can fully meet the needs of users (perhaps I ignorant, anyway I have not found particularly useful).

2, A (approach procedure)

Investigation and Analysis Ah ~ from the following aspects to do:

(1) from other hot products found the user's "taste", take its essence, plus perfect.

(2) The students in the School questionnaire survey, the use of similar products in the majority of students, attracting "big customer" is the key.

3, B (benefit benefits)

(1) Beautiful, looks comfortable, the mood will be better!

(2) can be with some serious, like-minded friends for academic exchanges, but also to help some of the weak English friends, is not very interesting and very meaningful ~

4, C (competitors competition)

The market is still very competitive, but if we can do other products do not have the function of a special UI interface, it should not be difficult to occupy a foothold in the market.

5, D (Delivery delivery)

In the original channel re-propaganda, highlighting the most important features of the update, and then in other channels to play advertising, increase visibility.

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

For me to lead a team, I am still very nervous, I now the knowledge reserves is not complete, and finally may become a team of people to lead together.

8.If your team has5 people, 4 months of time, you as a project manager, how should you configure roles (development, testing, artwork, etc.)?

Three people are responsible for development, the other two people, one is responsible for testing, the other is responsible for the art. Responsible for the development of the three people should be part-time responsible for testing, because a person test may overlook some small problems, multi-person joint testing is conducive to the discovery of problems in the project and corrected.

9.describe your team inWhat to do every week during the 16 week period to release the software, size milestone setting on schedule 16th week.

1th Week: Carry out requirement analysis, find relevant data, make reasonable plan;

2nd week: Architecture design;

第3-8 Week: Code development, implementation of basic functions;

第9-10 Week: Perfect UI interface;

Week 11th: The testers are tested to give feedback, and the developer changes according to the feedback;

12th Week: Make public test, get partial feedback;

第13-14 Week: Adjust and fix the bug according to the public survey feedback;

Week 15th: Test again to ensure quality issues;

16th Week: Test complete, release software.
