SayPro Tasks and Activities for the Period: Week 3 – Testing and Optimization

SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Monthly Classified Map Integration: Integrate maps to display ad locations visually by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR

Objective:
During Week 3, the focus is on optimizing the performance of the map integration feature from the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 report, specifically improving speed, responsiveness, and functionality. The goal is to ensure that the map displays classified ad locations clearly and operates efficiently.

Key Activities for Week 3

1. Performance Benchmarking

• Objective: Establish baseline performance metrics for the map integration feature.
• Tasks:
  • Measure the current loading time and responsiveness of the map on various devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).
  • Evaluate the map’s interaction speed when zooming, panning, and rendering ad locations.
  • Check for latency issues in displaying location data.

2. Map Functionality Review

• Objective: Ensure that the map’s functionality aligns with user expectations and usability standards.
• Tasks:
  • Test map interaction scenarios like clicking on ad locations, retrieving details, and navigating to ad pages.
  • Ensure smooth map zoom and pan functionalities, especially in high-density ad areas.
  • Test the map’s compatibility with different browsers and devices (cross-browser testing).

3. Speed Optimization

• Objective: Enhance the loading and response times of the map feature.
• Tasks:
  • Review current map data retrieval processes and optimize queries to the server (e.g., limit the number of requests, reduce data payload).
  • Use lazy loading or clustering for map markers to ensure only visible markers are loaded at a time.
  • Optimize any client-side JavaScript, CSS, or images affecting performance (e.g., compress image files, minify scripts).

4. Responsive Design Adjustments

• Objective: Ensure that the map is fully responsive and adapts to various screen sizes and orientations.
• Tasks:
  • Modify map design and functionality to adapt to different screen resolutions.
  • Test mobile responsiveness by simulating different screen sizes (using emulators or real devices) to ensure that the map is fully functional on small screens.
  • Check if all interactive elements (e.g., buttons, filters) are easily accessible on touch devices.

5. Usability Testing

• Objective: Gather feedback on the map’s usability and user experience.
• Tasks:
  • Conduct user testing with a small group of end users (internal staff or beta testers) to identify any usability issues.
  • Focus on map navigation ease, intuitive controls, and overall user interaction experience.
  • Make adjustments to the UI/UX based on feedback, such as simplifying controls or improving color contrast.

6. Error and Bug Identification

• Objective: Detect and resolve any bugs or errors in the map feature.
• Tasks:
  • Use browser console tools and debugging software to identify and resolve JavaScript or API errors.
  • Test the map under varying network conditions to ensure that it behaves as expected in both fast and slow environments.
  • Address any crash or freeze issues that may occur during heavy usage or complex ad location rendering.

7. Map API Optimization

• Objective: Optimize interactions with the map’s API (e.g., Google Maps, Mapbox) for better performance.
• Tasks:
  • Review the API usage to ensure minimal requests and efficient data handling (e.g., batch geocoding, caching responses).
  • Implement best practices to minimize API key usage and prevent exceeding API limits.
  • Ensure API data responses are optimized, such as limiting the data fetched for each ad location.

8. Final Test of Map Integration

• Objective: Conduct final tests of the map’s functionality after optimizations.
• Tasks:
  • Test the complete workflow of submitting, displaying, and interacting with classified ad locations on the map.
  • Validate that all performance optimizations have been successfully implemented and that the map operates smoothly across devices.
  • Perform load testing to evaluate map performance under high traffic scenarios.
