Tasks and Duties
Objective
The focus of this task is to plan and strategize the creation of an e-governance digital service platform. As a Junior Web Developer, you will analyze requirements and develop a comprehensive project plan that outlines the vision, objectives, and technical roadmap for a digital service that can be used by public sector entities.
Expected Deliverables
- A detailed DOC file outlining the project plan.
- Sections to include project overview, goals, functional and non-functional requirements, risk analysis, and stakeholder analysis.
- Clear visual aids such as flowcharts or diagrams that support your planning.
Key Steps
- Research and Analysis: Begin with an in-depth study of publicly available information related to successful e-governance platforms. Identify the basic functionalities and challenges in digital public services.
- Requirement Gathering: Define the essential features and user requirements. Create personas representing different stakeholder groups and decision-makers.
- Strategy Development: Draft a strategy document covering project goals, scope, timeline, and available technologies. Include drafts of user journey maps and potential wireframes.
- Documentation: Consolidate your research, planning, and strategies into a DOC file with clear headings, subheadings, and visuals.
Evaluation Criteria
Your submission will be evaluated on the clarity, completeness, and practicality of the project plan. Particular attention will be given to the depth of requirement analysis, the relevance of chosen strategies, and the overall organization and presentation of the document. The submission must be self-contained and well-supported by publicly available data and visual aids, without reliance on internal materials.
Objective
This task focuses on the execution phase where you design and develop a responsive web prototype that simulates a digital service portal. Your role is to translate planning into execution by outlining the architecture and design for the user interface, ensuring that the design is both visually appealing and user-friendly for online government services.
Expected Deliverables
- A well-structured DOC file documenting your design process.
- High-fidelity wireframes, mockups, or sketches that show layout and user flow.
- A written explanation of the design choices, highlighting accessibility, responsiveness, and usability aspects.
Key Steps
- Conceptualization: Begin by listing the essential user interface components required for a government digital service portal such as forms, interactive menus, and information sections. Consider accessibility guidelines.
- Wireframing: Create wireframes or mockups that detail the site layout and navigation flows using any design tool of your choice. Be prepared to justify your design decisions.
- Responsive Design Considerations: Outline how the interface will adapt to various device resolutions. Discuss principles of responsive design including fluid grids and flexible images.
- Documentation: Document all phases in a comprehensive DOC file, including a design rationale section and visual representations.
Evaluation Criteria
The submission will be assessed based on the creativity of the design, adherence to responsive design principles, clarity of the documentation, and the overall coherence between the design and the anticipated needs of public users. The document should be detailed, organized, and present all key design decisions clearly.
Objective
For this week, the focus shifts to evaluation and testing. Your objective is to create a detailed quality assurance and testing strategy for the e-governance digital service platform. This strategy should encompass functional, performance, and security testing aspects to ensure that the platform delivers reliable and secure services.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file containing a comprehensive testing strategy document.
- Sections detailing test plan, test cases, expected outcomes, and risk mitigation strategies.
- Documentation on how testing will be automated or manually executed.
Key Steps
- Test Plan Development: Outline the overall testing strategy covering different types of tests such as unit tests, integration tests, system tests, and stress tests.
- Creating Test Cases: Develop at least five test case scenarios that cover key functionalities of the digital service platform. Each test case should have a description of the steps to execute and the expected results.
- Risk Analysis: Identify potential risks or bugs that may impact user experience or data security. Propose mitigation measures and contingency plans.
- Documentation: Consolidate your testing strategy, test case definitions, and risk analysis into a clear DOC file with diagrams or tables where applicable.
Evaluation Criteria
Your submission will be evaluated based on the comprehensiveness of the testing strategy, clarity and detail in describing test cases, and the practical approach towards mitigating identified risks. The quality of documentation and logical flow of information in the DOC file will play a significant role in the assessment.
Objective
This task requires you to conduct an audit focusing on performance, accessibility, and security aspects of a hypothetical digital service platform designed for e-governance. Your role is to evaluate various elements that impact user experience and secure operations while proposing actionable recommendations for improvements.
Expected Deliverables
- A comprehensive DOC file that presents your audit report.
- Multiple sections including performance metrics, accessibility compliance, security vulnerabilities, and improvement suggestions.
- Use of tables and charts to present audit findings where relevant.
Key Steps
- Performance Evaluation: Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) such as loading times, responsiveness, and resource consumption. Propose methods for measuring these indicators and what benchmarks should be met.
- Accessibility Assessment: Evaluate the design against web accessibility standards (such as WCAG). Include important factors like color contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility.
- Security Analysis: Identify common vulnerabilities such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or SQL injection risks that could be introduced in a digital public service platform. Provide recommendations for enhancing security.
- Documentation: Compile your findings, detailed analysis, and recommendations in a well-organized DOC file with supportive visuals like charts or tables to make your points clear.
Evaluation Criteria
Submissions will be graded on depth of analysis, clarity of the audit process, and the feasibility of recommended improvements. The audit report should display strong analytical skills, a clear understanding of performance and security benchmarks, and thorough documentation. The ability to communicate technical aspects in a clear and accessible manner will be a key factor in the evaluation.
