DESIGN CHANGES DURING DIFFERENT CYCLES [ Concluding Remarks | Design Challenges ]
 
S. No.
Design Change
Life Cycle Phase
Reason
1
The shortest path to the destination should be computed with respect to time and distance. Initially it was computed only with respect to distance.
Contextual Interviews
User suggestion & requirement.
2
The application should be easy enough to understand and operate for a general user. This was already a guiding principle but received further emphasis after user suggestion
Contextual Interviews
User suggestion, because the users had particularly bad experiences with electronic gadgets
3
The database of the system should be comprehensive and up to date so that each route and street of any area should be included in the results produced by the mobile device.
Contextual Interviews
User suggestion, because the user had a bad experience with his previous GIS.
4
The central database to which the mobile GIS connect via satellite is updated regularly on periodic and event driven basis.
Contextual Interviews
Our conclusion because it would serve as a mean to provide up to date information to the users and will also help in achieving design change 3.
