week twenty-seven...
OCTOBER 16th - FEBRUARY 16TH

     this week,  i :
      • emailed nineteen UT Psychology Lab professors about upgrading their website's UI
      • began migrating university websites from Drupal and WordPress to Pantheon with Dev Team
      • ran tests on Canvas' Tower Tools Dashboard application1 using BrowserStack2
      • met with Stacy to discuss tasks prioritization regarding Texas 
        Domestic Slave Trade Projects' From Slavery to Freedom website

     impediments :
          • when testing audio playback in Canvas' video stream, B-Stack3 :
            
            • omits volume control functionality for mobile browser testing and
              defaults all of its cloud-linked devices to a standard listening volume
            • eliminates audio transmission altogether
              for Samsung devices via its web browsers
          • after testing unsupported web browsers in B-Stack, :
            
              • UC Browser Turbo4 does not load the Dashboard application's
                main course page; still troubleshooting
              • we're considering local device testing as a work-around

       

          • 1 Canvas' Dashboard Application is responsible for UT courses' online video stream and live communication.
            2 BrowserStack is a cloud-based testing platform that is compatible with multiple web browsers across a variety of devices.
            3 B-Stack is a term coined by me as to serve as an abbreviation for BrowserStack. s/o to Gretch, I made fetch happen.
            4 UC Browser Turbo is a web browser
