Overview

This project gave the users the ability to create custom designs of their own choice, which meant choosing colours from four different Ford car models Shelby, Roush, Bullitt, and RTR. The Ford Mustang emblem would then be colored in various patterns that the user themselves could control and change according to how they like it. The emblem once covered in the pattern and colors of the chosen models can then be printed on keychains, bags, and also t-shirts.

Challenges

• The app required powerful devices for testing its performance and compatibility.

• Lag and difficulties were experienced on outdated or older operating system devices.

• Mobile optimization allowed easy color/pattern changes via touch screen, while desktop devices faced challenges with mouse/trackpad selection.

• Random glitches made it hard to determine their causes during testing.

• Testing without Facebook account integration required repetitive end-to-end flows.

• Inability to preview the final printed product limited verification of design accuracy.

• Quality was crucial for printing on Ford items, leaving little room for improving app performance.

• Regression tests covered functionality, but additional exploratory testing was needed to address existing issues.

Solutions and Strategy

• The app’s code was optimized with caching techniques for improved performance.

• Compatibility testing ensured smooth operation across different devices and configurations.

• Usability testing identified areas for user experience enhancement.

• Exploratory testing reproduced glitches under various scenarios and inputs.

• Stress testing identified potential breakdown or failure points.

• Integration testing verified successful integration with Facebook.

• Testing ensured secure user information and eliminated vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

In the Ford Mustang Personalized Pony project, with the implementation of the solutions mentioned above, we were able to overcome the challenges faced during the development and testing phase. As a result, we were able to release the web app successfully with high performance, an optimized user interface, minimal glitches, secure Facebook integration, and high-quality print output. The app was well-received by users and provided a unique and personalized experience for Ford Mustang enthusiasts.
