Prototyping

Overview

Your team is now ready to prototype the Section 508-validated application being developed for U.S. Department of Homeland Security field officers to check potential immigrants for connections to criminal or terrorist behavior. Remember, this application must meet these requirements:

· Conform with Section-508 accessibility guidelines.

· Allow wireless real-time bidirectional data transfer and database queries with secure servers.

· Have a secure login and, after two minutes of non-use, have autolocking that reactivates a secure login.

· Account for the fact that officers work on any day and at any time in offices, from vehicles, and on foot along the U.S. border and in cities across the country.

Instructions

Create a 3–5-page prototyping plan for your application you are developing. Include these components in your plan:

· Craft an executive summary that states the purpose of the report and a conclusion that ties everything together.

· Describe the following and explain the rationale for your decisions, supported by research:

. Interface choices such as menu-driven, GUI, or object-oriented.

. Methods for input/output.

. Supported devices.

· Explain the following in detail and justify why you made these choices, supported by research:

. How the application will process user mistakes and errors.

. How you will implement application security.

· List the following tools, and explain why you chose these tools, supported by research.

. Two specific software tools used to determine programming bugs.

. Three automated tools will be used to validate accessibility.

· Explain two of the UX prototyping techniques you will use, and justify your choices, supported by research.

· Create two drawings using Visio or a similar tool:

. The first drawing should depict the user display (what users will see).

. The second drawing should depict the system processing flow—that is, how information flows through the application in both directions. Essentially, depict the steps the application will follow, from receiving data to the outcome of why people are using the app in the first place.

. Both drawings must align with the specifications and functions of the app.

· Incorporate a minimum of three credible and relevant resources to support your plan.

Your team is now ready to prototype the Section 508-validated application being developed for U.S. Department of Homeland Security field officers to check potential immigrants for connections to criminal or terrorist behavior.

Introduction

Your team has been asked to create a prototype of an application that will be deployed to field officers, allowing them to conduct background checks on potential immigrants. The field officer (FO) can check the applicant’s name, age and gender against a list of known terrorists or criminals to identify any potentially dangerous individuals who could be allowed into the country. You are already familiar with developing applications for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This project will build upon your previous experiences creating software for the DHS through your roles as a developer and project manager in this capacity.

Your goal is to create a prototype of an application that will be deployed to field officers, allowing them to conduct background checks on potential immigrants.

You are already familiar with developing applications for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). You have worked on several projects for DHS and other government agencies, private companies, non-profit organizations and even academic institutions. This experience will serve you well as you take on this new task at hand!

This project will build upon your previous experiences creating software for the DHS through your roles as a developer and project manager in this capacity.

This project will build upon your previous experiences creating software for the DHS through your roles as a developer and project manager in this capacity. You will be working with your team leader to create an application that is accessible on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. The majority of the work will be done by you as well as other members of your team who were not involved with the previous project.

You should have experience working with Java programming language or similar technologies such as Flex Development Framework (Flex), Apache Cordova Library (Cordova), HTML5/CSS3 Templates (HTML5/CSS3), Bootstrap Template Engine (Bootstrap).

You will work with the team leader on developing an application that will use data from multiple government sources such as the Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

You will work with the team leader on developing an application that will use data from multiple government sources such as the Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

You will develop a prototype that uses this data to determine whether an individual is connected to criminal or terrorist activity.

Conclusion

We are excited to work with you on this project and hope that you will join us in making a difference.
