ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Scenario

You are approached by a research institute to design and prototype a desktop application prototype for the statistical analysis of forthcoming data sets, using the Fisher matrix formalism. The user would specify the path of a text file containing a covariance matrix, and another file specifying the model parameters along with their correspond- ing fiducial values. The system would return error ellipses of two specified parameters as a figure within the desktop application, and a statistical report is saved to a text file. You are to build a selection of prototypes that eventually lead to a software artefact.

Section A

In this section, you will be creating the preliminary prototypes that would facilitate the programming of prototypes in Section B.

2. Create two variations of how the problem can be solved by illustrating each vari- ation with a hand-drawn storyboard that has at least eight frames and a maximum of sixteen frames.

3. Create two hand-drawn sketches of the desktop interface, and for each create one office-stationary based prototype by making use of post-it notes, blank A4 papers and medium markers. For each prototype, create variations by moving components around and photographic changes/variations.

4. After choosing the best option, proceed to building a PowerPoint mock-up of the interface and its logical flow.

Section B

In this section, you will be creating a high-fidelity prototype using Python together with a selection of scripts. You will also be developing a code to obtain the confidence ellipses and apply marginalization on a number of parameters describing a cosmological model of our Universe.
