Project Questions

1. How well have you mastered React, git, and other tools / frameworks introduced in this course?

• We used Git extensively throughout the project, including features such as branching, merging, rebasing
• We used React, Express, MongoDb, Mongoose, MaterialUI, Jest and Enzyme

2. Have you shown the ability to carry out further learning beyond the course material to add value to your prototype?

• We used MaterialUi, mockingoose, React Context API and many smaller frameworks for various aspects of the app
• We added Continuous Integration through GitHub Actions
• We deployed the app using Heroku

3. Has your code been developed according to best-practices within your applied frameworks? Is it understandable and maintainable?

• We applied best practices to our React components by abstracting functionality into smaller components
• We used JS best practices, such as using const to enforce immutability
• We applied best practices to our Express API by minimising URL path branching
• Other best practices were applied throughout the project for other frameworks

4. Has your code been tested? How?

• The backend was tested extensively
• The frontend was tested extensively

5. Is there evidence of good project management, and appropriate contribution from all team members?

• We used GitHub issues to track tasks
• We used merge rules for PRs, meaning code-review had to take place
• We had regular meetings and information sessions to discuss development; see the wiki for more info
• Each team member was fully involved throughout the project's development, and contribution was roughly equal among everyone in terms of coding, management, code-review and research
