Verification & Validation Results 3
1.0 Introduction and overview- 1.1 Purpose of this Document The results of the VVP are presented here in the VVR, which outlines our testing results on Daz Studio Easy.
- 1.2 Scope of the Development Project Currently, DAZ Studio is a professional quality product. Though it is great to have a high quality product it can make it difficult for an new user to get accustomed to it and be able to use it to its full potential. Many users have already acheived this and enjoy using DAZ Studio. However, there is a large community of people that want an application that they can download and within 15 minutes they can be manipulating their own models for use in online virtual communities, video games, and other applications that allow users to utilize their own models. DAZ 3D would like to make another application that will target these users. We are going to work in cooperation with DAZ 3D to acheive this goal. DAZ 3D has provided us with suggested enhancements for the application. We also bring a fresh perspective to the table and have many great ideas that will enhance the application as well. We will have the responsibility of implementing changes that will help achieve the end goal. We will also simplify many of the tools and make the user experience a more pleasant one in less time.

Software Requirements Specification
Software Design Specification
- We thoroughly tested each added enhancement component prior to committing the code to the respository, and following the committ as well. We found in all such cases that we were able to ensure that the code was functioning just as anticipated and the enhancenments did not cause any negative repercussions.
- Sections 4.3-4.4 summarize the enhancements that were made in this Stage Release and the bug fixes that were made and verified for this Stage Release. Sections 7.1-7.2 summarize the outstanding bugs and the enhancements that are InProgress. There are other enhancements that are still UnderReview that are not summarized in this report.
- Each team member has taken ownership of an equal number of documents. That team member was responsible for the completion of the document. All team members participated in the preparation and review of the content for each document prior to delivery. Changes were discussed and the documents revised as necessary.
- 4.1 Summary of Component Test
- Viewport: Tested by Travis, no new changes to test. Quickly verified that no new issues were introduced.
- DockArea Column: Tested by Tony, Verified that the horizontal slider is working correctly.
- Pane: Tested by Brandon, Verified the parameters pane is now readable and color issues are fixed.
- Menu: Tested by Travis, Verified that new icons are in place and working properly.
- *The new style affects all components. Bugs have been discovered, but are all are fixed and verified.
- 4.2 Summary of Integration, Test/Testing Product as a Whole
- Due to the nature of our project, we are working on an existing code base. Therefore all components are working seamlessly, because as we add new features, and re-design other features we make certain that all changes do not affect the overall functioning code base.
- 4.3 Summary of Enhancements for Stage 3 Release
- Horizontal slider now refreshes the panel when resizing.
- New Icons for manipulation tools.
- Remove advanced option from the Timeline tool when on the Pose / Animate tab.
- 4.4 Summary of Bug Fixes for Stage 3 Release
- Black background in the parameters pane that made text unreadable is now fixed.
- 5.1 Evaluation of Test Cases
- The test cases we have been using have been quite sufficent and helpful in ensuring that our code is functioning as good as possible. We have been very happy with results produced from our testing.
- 5.2 Results from Defect Tracker
- To this point in our project our defect tracker as served primary as a tool for keeping track of future enhancements, and keeping everything organized.
- 5.3 Lessons Learned
- We have learned that working with interfaces provides easy to do, straight forward testing. It is much easier to test UI enhancements than testing underlying functionality.
- We have thorougly tested all work done on the project. Daz engineering team and management has also reviewed the code and found all work done to be satisfactory.
- 7.1 Oustanding bugs
- None
- 7.2 Enhancements InProgress
- Viewport Tool functionality.
- Group tools with similar functionality into the same toolbar. Separate out tools with dissimilar functionality.
- All Palettes that are open should have a checkmark next to them in the menu if they are open.
