Blacksburg, Va., April 17, 2015 – J5 has completed and released a high fidelity prototype of the Gaming Social Network for others to test and evaluate!
J5’s Gaming Social Network application prototype will allow users to have a hands-on experience and get to test out some of the main features of the app.
Team member Daniel Rusz said “We wanted the prototype to give us insight on what features were easy to use and what we needed to refine. This way we don’t have to make major back end changes when creating the final product”.
J5 plans to use this prototype to get feedback from a select group of testers that will run through the application and complete set tasks. The feedback they receive will help the team know how well their features work in practice and the final product can be modified to better meet their goals.
Team member Iyaz Shaikh said “We are simulating the social interactions users will have right now, but after listening to our testers responses and perfect our front end design before continuing”.
The final stages of development left for J5 is to add in their application’s networking capabilities. Although users can only interact with sample friends in this prototype, the final product will allow users to communicate with one another to establish the social network. The final product will be presented in front of an audience on May 4th at the Moss Arts Center!
