Mapplet Release 2

Summary

In this chapter we began (and concluded) the second release of the mapplet project. We extended the use case diagram that we used for release 1 and produced a plan so that we know what we need to deliver for this release. We also took the use case analysis that we did for release 2 and used it to create a detailed design.

We introduced an extension to ICONIX Process called persona analysis, for designing the product around a core set of target users. The use of persona analysis also means that we can take advantage of additional interaction design techniques. We’ll revisit this technique in much more detail in Chapter 10.

Finally, we looked at the source code for release 2, refactored a few minor points here and there, and then basked in the glow of the screenshots from the finished product. Party on!
