Week 7

• I was team leader so I reorganised the backlog and assigned everyone assignments
• Early research for azure integration. What is Azure, how to use is, what it can give us and which features should we explore. Result was that the two most appropriate features for us to use were either Azure Functions or Azure Load Balancer.
• Testing - reviewed started working on test plans and checked for unknown bugs at the time.
  Total time spent working this week: 9 hours.

Week 8

• Back end: I researched how to add support for new hobbies information. So i Changed the UserSchema in the backend module to include a new array of hobbies that are blockers called blockers. Meaning that every hobby in the array hobbies is considered as a yes, every hobby in the blockers array is considered as a firm no, meaning a blocker. And finally every hoody that is not in the hobbies array and not in the blockers array is considered as a "Don't Care". Back-end: support new hobbies formation #251
• Testing: I was given the task of testing the entire website and I had done so extremely well. I spent a lot of time going over everything in the website and found a lot of bugs and some inconsistencies which are also important to take care of. All the bugs I found are at: Slider jumps five values down when changed.  #473 and Click to complete doesn't work in "Add Apartment" page #474 and Allows setting apartment fields with illogical values. And no error feedback in the second try. #475 and Comment's color and representing letter. #476 and Email is case sensitive.  #477 and Publisher Profile in an apartment #478 and Small inconsistency  #479 and Wrong representing circle letter. #480.
  The issue containing it and describing the task is: Testing: Define UCs test plan + testing #451
  Total time spent working this week: 9 hours.

Week 9

• Met with the entire team and David to discuss next weeks goals and objectives.
• Because it is required to work with Azure in the project I was given the task of deciding if we should work with Azur's load balancer or with functions. Researched the pros and cons of working with a load balancing. I researched a lot online by reading articles and the formal documentation and the conclusion I had reached and the explanation behind it can be found here: [Azure] Figure out if to use serverless or load blalancer #421
• Close Mid semester version. Finished Must: Close mid semester version #457
• Document: Update mid semester POC presentation with UC diagram. I had created two variants of the POC because time was valuable so I let the team decide which one they liked better. I created the POC according to the discussion we had with the entire team and it turned out great. Document: Update mid semester POC presentation with UC diagram #447
  Total time spent working this week: 9 hours.

Week 10

• Started working on setting up Azure. I read a lot of articles on how to deploy a website to azure
• Started setting up the servers and the load balancer and everything needed to have the servers distribute the work between them. I set up the virtual network they would work on and researched how to have them work together. Everything I had done regarding this which is a very detailed account is at: Deploy Azure #503
• IMPORTANT: I had actually spent a lot of time this week working in vane because I had made a lot of progress setting up the servers on my Azure account which I had from a previous project in ransomware. But then realised that for some reason because it was with the campus email it couldn't be a part of the team we set up for roommates at Azure and there was no way around it. So I created a new account and had to do a lot of the work again.
  Total time spent working this week: 12 hours.
