Domain-specific features

• Meal and Exercise Management

• Unlike generic apps, this system integrates both meal and exercises to well-being.
• Users create meals and exercise programs. They can then share them within posts, or they can display each others' programs.

• Exercise Tracking

• Exercise tracking is crucial for monitoring progress and maintaining accountability, which are central to fitness-focused applications.
• The app logs workouts, including number of repetitions, sets, and weight, using user inputs. This data is available to users for them to see their progress.

• Leaderboard

• Leaderboards promote community engagement and motivate users through gamification, leveraging friendly competition to encourage consistency in workouts and diet.
• User exercise and meal programs are rated by other users. Scores are aggregated and ranked in real time using a leaderboard algorithm, with data stored in MySQL database.

• Super-User and Regular User Discrimination

• This feature distinguishes super users (e.g., trainers or coaches) from regular users, enabling tailored functionalities like creating exercise for others.
• The user roles are determined based on user ratings. Super-users access more functionalities, while regular users have standard functionality.

• Rating System

• A rating system allows users to provide feedback on workouts, meals, fostering user-driven content improvement and enhancing community trust.
• Users rate content with a score. Ratings are aggregated, and displayed dynamically, using a scoring algorithm.

API and its Documentation

• API of the platform should be documented using Swagger
• Each endpoint should be included
• Each endpoints should include explanations
• Each endpoints should include examples
• Every possible response for endpoints should be covered

Standart Being Followed

Follow the Activity Streams standard of W3C.

• Find a NoSQL database to hold the information
• Data format should be JSON
• Log the profile views from view_profile endpoint
• Log the post deletions from delete_post endpoint
• Log the comment deletions from delete_comment endpoint

Testing Strategies

Development Phase:

• Backend: Postman and HTML templates to test the requests and responses
• Frontend: Directly in the browser or local development environment, where UI and the behavior of components are observed.
• Mobile: Within the mobile app on simulator or emulator. The focus is on observing how UI is and components react.

Integration Phase:

Backend

• Unit tests to check the endpoints in a more comprehensive manner
• Test the integrated front-end on a local machine Frontend
• Unit tests to validate the functionality of individual frontend components, ensuring each part works as expected in isolation.
• Test the integrated frontend on a local machine to check the overall UI and interactions, ensuring everything functions correctly when connected to the backend. Mobile
• Implement unit tests to validate the logic and behavior of mobile components, checking each feature individually.
• Test the mobile app on a simulator or emulator to ensure the UI and features work as expected, focusing on responsiveness, navigation, and data interactions.
