| Summary: | Dementia is when a person loses his intellectual abilities such as remembering,
thinking, or making decisions that affect his daily activities. Having someone in
the family who has dementia can be the most challenging part of their daily life. In
most cases, family members will choose to bring their loved ones to daycare centres
during the day. With an expected increase in aging population in Singapore and with
the expected rising number of dementia patients, the demand for caregivers and the
facilities in the daycare centres will increase.
In this project, the PEAR system was developed to support the stakeholders in the
daycare centres. This system serves to alleviate stress in caregivers and delivers
person-centred care to dementia patients. This system also allows for the
communication of information between stakeholders and the scheduling of activities
in daycare centres. The overall structure of this system consisted of an Android
application and a Web application.
This project consists of two teams, the front-end team and the back-end team. The
front-end team is responsible for the Android application while the back-end team is
responsible with maintaining the application programming interface (API) together
with the Web application. The author was allocated to the front-end team and as a
front-end developer, the author was tasked to enhance and maintain the existing
PEAR android application. The author will be covering the Photo Album and Holiday
Experiences features in the PEAR application. The author had developed User
Interface (UI) test cases using existing Appium’s automated testing tools. The UI test
cases developed will also be covered in this report. |
