Advanced Studio 1 Group 1

  Week 12 was the final week of the project. The focus was completing the remaining fixes, submitting before the deadline and delivering the presentation. I worked at Tausif's place for the final session where we pushed through the last set of fixes together. The admin navigation was corrected to show only admin tabs after login. The trip planner address inputs were fixed and Google Maps navigation was integrated so the app hands off directions to the phone's native maps app when a driver needs to find a charger. The Stripe Connect host onboarding was resolved enabling the full payment flow to work correctly end to end. All changes were tested and committed to the repository before the 11:55pm submission deadline. The presentation was delivered the following day. The live demo walked through the complete user journey across all three portals, host listing and verification, driver discovery and booking, and the trip planner with Google Maps navigation. The technical architecture...

  Tausif - AS2 - Week 12 Blog: Final Submission and Presentation Week 12 was the culmination of everything the team had worked toward across the trimester. It came down to two things, getting the app across the line for submission and delivering the final presentation. Manzil came over to my place for the final build session and we worked through the remaining fixes together. The admin navigation bar was corrected so the admin portal now shows only admin specific tabs after login. The trip planner was completed with full address input working and Google Maps navigation integrated so drivers can get directions to the nearest charger directly from the app. The Stripe host onboarding was resolved allowing hosts to complete payment setup without errors and enabling the full booking flow end to end. We tested each fix as it was completed and pushed everything to the repository before the 11:55pm submission deadline. The following day we delivered the final presentation to Roshan and lat...

 During Week 7, we focused on refinement, consistency, and overall application value. By this stage, the goal was not only to define features, but to make sure the system worked together as one connected product. We reviewed how the major sections of VehicleGrid contributed to the user experience and whether the application presented itself as a realistic and practical solution. A major part of this week’s work was evaluating the quality of the current screens and interactions. We considered whether the app looked and behaved like a professional business application rather than a basic student prototype. This led us to review layout consistency, feature purpose, and the quality of the interface direction more carefully. We wanted the application to feel cleaner, more modern, and more suitable for real EV users. We also reviewed the functional logic across different parts of the app. It became important to identify any pages or sections that existed without meaningful data connect...

  Tausif - AS2 - Week 11 Blog: Testing, Issue Identification and Fix Planning Week 11 was about getting a clear picture of where the app stood before the final submission and presentation. Manzil came over to my place and we spent the session running a thorough test of the entire application across all three portals. Going through the app systematically we identified a number of issues that needed to be resolved before submission. The admin navigation bar was showing Driver and Host tabs after login which needed fixing. The trip planner address inputs were not accepting full addresses properly. The Stripe host onboarding was throwing an error preventing hosts from completing payment setup, which in turn was blocking the driver booking flow. The booking system was allowing drivers to book outside of host availability hours. The Google Maps navigation handoff from the trip planner and range calculator was not in place yet. I documented all of the findings from the session and compile...

Week 11 was focused on identifying everything that needed to be resolved before the final submission. I joined Tausif and Manzil in class this week where we ran through the app systematically and documented the issues that needed fixing before the deadline. Going through the app together we identified several problems across the three portals. The admin navigation bar was showing incorrect tabs after login. The trip planner inputs were not accepting full addresses. The Stripe host onboarding was failing which was blocking the driver booking flow downstream. Booking hours validation was not enforcing the host availability window correctly. Google Maps navigation still needed to be implemented for the trip planner and range calculator. By the end of the session the team had a clear structured list of fixes and a priority order for working through them before submission. Having everyone together in the one place made it easier to work through the issues quickly and get aligned on what mat...

  In Week 11 I worked at Tausif's place where we ran a full testing session across all three portals of the VehicleGrid app. The goal was to identify everything that needed to be resolved before the final submission deadline and presentation. Going through the app together we identified several issues across the admin, driver and host portals. The admin navigation bar was displaying incorrectly after login. The trip planner inputs were not functioning properly. The Stripe Connect host onboarding was failing which was blocking the driver booking flow downstream. Booking hours validation was not enforcing the host's availability window. The Google Maps navigation integration for the trip planner and range calculator still needed to be implemented. Tausif compiled the findings into a structured fix list and we worked through the priority order together. By the end of the session we had a clear plan and began work on the most critical fixes. The remaining fixes were carried through...
