Week 20 – Installation

Installation

Hi and welcome back to our blog! This blog entry rather deals with some organizational topics in contrast to the reports of several previous weeks. And it's the last one before the final blog entry!

First of all, here is a short instruction on how to install the app on an Android device:

  1. Using your Android device, download the app using the "Download" button at the top of this page or using the following link: https://download.dh-towerdefense.de
  2. Run the -apk file by clicking on it
  3. If your device runs with a rather old Android version, the app will probably just become installed.
    If your device runs with a rather recent Android version, you will have to pass some "security" popups in which you agree that you really want to install our app. This security-check is caused because our app cannot be downloaded in the PlayStore yet.
  4. That's it! You can simply run Tower Defense as any other app on your device. Have fun!
(Grading Information: The proof of installation by another team can be found on the blog entry of week 18 by following the link: https://dh-towerdefense.de/week-18-optimization/#comment-86)

Running through last Tests

As the time of the project in class is ending soon, we manage to get some people testing our app concerning usability. Usability testing is a very important aspect because it shows up the satisfaction of potential users.
The results of our usability test can be accessed using the following link: https://ux-test-results.dh-towerdefense.de

Moreover, the testplan document is finally finished. It was completed by adjusting the workflow and the overall use of CodeClimate and TravisCI.

Tech-Stack

Last but not least, we want to show our final tech stack to you. To be honest, it does not seem like we made use of so many tools and technologies throughout the whole project, but here it is:

And now... that's it.

It is our last blog entry with thematic content. Thanks a lot to everybody who followed us throughout both semesters.

Next week, you will get to see the final blog post, which will include links to all blog posts and links to important documents and sites as well.

See you there!
