Progress update

This blog entry is to give an update of my progress and record things that have been found out or happened since my last entry on Tuesday.

Firstly I'm more ahead in my project that what I thought I would be. I started to produce the test plan late on Tuesday and I believe that it should be finished shortly, within the next hour or two hopefully. If this goes well and I don't encounter any problems I should be ready to start testing the website later today. This would be good for the project as my Gantt chart is saying that testing the website was originally planned to start on 31/05/10 and not due to finish until 1/06/10. As I am coming towards the end of my project I can say that I am happy with how it has progressed, and I am very pleased with how the design of the website has turned out.

One issue that has occurred to me is that next week I am on half term and have a week off. This is a threat to the project as it could mean that the work is not completed on time or that everything is set back by a week. I don't really want this to happen as I am pleased with the progress I am making currently and don't want to suffer a set back. To ensure that my project doesn't suffer to much while I am off, I will be transferring all the work to a memory stick. Doing this will allow me to set aside a few days on which I can complete my work.

My Gantt charts states that the tasks that are due to happen in half term are carry out testing, fix any problems, recheck problems and create documentation. I actually believe though that by carrying out the testing at home will be beneficial as it will allow me to see what the website looks like on different screen sizes and with different resolutions.

Below is a Gantt chart that has been updated. Although it has not changed too much since Tuesday.
