Entry point of OnTrack UIEnhancemnt

T3 / 2022

OnTrack is now a hybrid project which is using Bootstrap/AngularJS + MUI/Angular, it is build using different reusable components.

AngularJS support has officially ended as of January 2022. The code will remain accessible on GitHub, npm, Bower, and Release archive. This website will remain here indefinitely. The GitHub repository will be in an archived state, meaning that no new issues or pull requests can be submitted. CoffeeScript can be viewed as a fine complement to JavaScript, not a replacement.

Therefore, the OnTrack frontend is looking forward to switching to the new MUI/Angular approach and trying to keep things more up to date going forward.

Aims for Trimester

  1. Testing new branch

    • We have a special request from our director Andrew that we need to execute some on testing the doubtfire-web(quality/entity-service-to-npm) branch with doubtfire-api(refactor/entity-service-backend), write up some test scripts for people to run to verify that things work branch.
    • Tests cases can just be actions for someone to perform. Now those branches have migrated much of the front end. We now need to exhaustively test it to make sure things work. Log the issue and report to director

  2. Components Migration

    • There is 168 components waiting to be migrated, in T3/2022, I hope we can continue the work that we left in previous trimester and assign some simple components for Juniors. Delivery lead should involve continuing the ongoing components, seniors should continue his work from previous trimester.

Deliverables

Short Term

  • Gather information and continue the migration work that left from previous trimester.
  • Develop and deliver at least 5 migrated components.

  • Give Juniors OnTrack ASAP.
  • Improve and fix outdated documents.

Long Term:

  • Give enough passion for junior to involve into the same project next trimester
  • Extent documentation for new member to be able to understand the project quickly.
