Bassoon Fingering Finder (BFF)

Background This project is a continuation of Team BFF's Bassoon Fingering Finder App, a project which was conducted as a UI Senior Design project in 2012. This project laid down an excellent base product, allowing us to work from a foundation. The beginning of this project will be concentrated around fixing bugs in the existing software, while the latter half will consist of adding new features/functionality to the existing product. We were able to transfer ownership of the GitHub Repository and the Heroku-hosted live version of the app so that we can properly continue development. Sponsor Our primary client is Dr. Susan Hess from the University of Idaho Music Department. Luke Bakken, a software engineer and bassoonist with the Spokane Symphony, will act as a secondary client. Team Members Problem Statement BFF is an existing web application used to look up bassoon fingerings for a note or series of notes. We will continue development on BFF, fixing existing issues and implementing a few new features. The application is currently being hosted here. Design Goals/Deliverables During the design phase we will be working with the client to produce designs for new features, as well as improved designs for existing functionality which does not meet the customer’s vision. Design deliverables will include sketches as well as prototypes. Deliverables should be approved by the customer before final implementation. Table of Specifications Project Learning Part of our Project Learning involved getting more familiar with the existing web application and logging issues at our GitHub issue tracker. Screenshots of existing application Client Interviews We met with our client a couple of times in the first few weeks of the semester in order to formulate a [[Media:StatementofWork.pdf|Statement of Work]] detailing the expectations for the project during the Fall 2013 semester of Senior Design. Notes from our initial client contact can be found [[Media:ClientMeeting1.pdf|here]]. Concept Development
