Feedback and preliniminary findings from Prototype testing

@Jonas Bergmeier

• how tests are conducted

• current progress, tested with 2 internal and 3 external participants

• next steps: updating prototype for 2-3 more external tests

  • current blocker: awaiting appointment confirmations from 2 more users

  • more leads would speed up the progress @Nico Lueck @Farina Owusu @Satyajit Suri - if you happen to be able to provide more contacts fitting to our requirements, please share with use

• insights and heads up for GovStack marketing activities → raising user testing awareness

In the upcoming week, now we are looking to test at least two more people depending on whether it's possible to schedule appointments with them. But overall, we would like to test with at least 5-6 people.

Adapter design in cooperation with Architecture WG

@Nico Lueck

How the colloboration look like. What are success indicators

Frieday was prelimenary meeting where Architecture WG took adapter topic under discussion.

Steve to create short document/diagram on what an adaptor is and what tools/technologies can be used to build. Validate with architecture and TC groups. From there, we can attempt an initial implementation in the sandbox.
April 14, 2023 Architecture Team Meeting Notes

Satya Q:I just want to understand whether this adapter work is on a critical path or does it? It's not even necessary because the more from the perspective of what would be if it is in the critical path then.
Nico response: I think BW being API compliant for the building block providers. So for the three which we have at the moment, they're doing this as an integral part of the customization, right? So they don't need an adapter, so adapter thing. In theory at least, how I understood that it doesn't need to be any adapter, but how it is in practice?
Meelis Z: I wouldn't restrict them to decide it by themselves it they see it more aproproate to reach goals quicke.
Jarkko Comment: It is extremely complex to create an adapter application to a point that where the adapter application itself contains significant amount of functionality in order to.
In some cases it might turn out that it is kinda impossible because there's no such thing as a universal adapter that would in any case map any data model and API. Just trying to create some kind of universal adapter concept that would work in any case that will fail.

Sandbox team manning

@Meelis Zujev (Deactivated)

Discuss- what would be most efficient to continou, Is there working areas where Sandbox team could contribute more (1-2 month perspective)

Sandxox team moving in 2 steams- front end and backend and frontend workstream is moving with hight speed ahead.
Back end is facing lack of work for becaus there is no BB witch API -s are complient and allowe to build MVP - Happy Flow- upon USCT usecase.
One lane to work with would be assist in designing and implementid an adapter concept and second lane would be assisting BB providers to became quicker Govstack complient and integrate sandbox.
Also API testhardness implementation / integration into sandbox could be one additional lane to work with.
Wrap up the Sandbox Infra solution and present it Infrastrucuture WG for testing and tryouts.
