Databases• Organized collection of data• Intended to organize, store, and retrieve large

amounts of data easilyExamples:• iTunes is a database for all your music• Google has a database of websites which is

used for Google Search• Facebook is a database of people

Databases in App Inventor• Reference to the colored Dots tutorial from last

session: http://tinyurl.com/k2qahq7• If participants want to save data after the

application is closed they must use a database Two types of databases:• TinyDB stores data directly on the phone and will

only be used by that phone (hand-set)• TinyWebDB stores data on a web database that can

be shared among phones

Data• Key – label for what’s inside• Value – data that’s insideWe use the Key to look up the Value in the databaseExample:

Phone Book (a database of contact information) Key = name Value = phone number

Incorporating feedback: Making your App better

• Feedback from potential customers will… Tell you if your solution (app) to a

problem is accurate Suggest improvements that can be

made in the design of the app Suggest other features to add (either

now or in the future)

Activity: Usability Testing• Test your paper prototypeIdeas for testing paper prototype: Create a short video walking the audience through

the features of the paper prototype Create a PowerPoint presentation listing each screen

on a slide Share the video/presentation with your survey

respondents, friends and colleagues, WeTech team ([email protected])

Activity: Usability Testing• Create video/PowerPoint presentations• Decide on how will the prototype be circulated for

feedback• Create timeline for collecting and incorporating

feedback

Collecting Feedback on PrototypeQuestions Notes Suggested ChangesIs there anything that isunclear or confusing inthe user-interface?Would your user preferthe app look or behavedifferently?Which features of yourapp interface and usabilityare of highest value toyour target market?Are there any missingbuttons or other contentfrom your app?Did the user’sexpectations differ fromthe intended functionalityof the app?
