• A simple gallery to browse and download wallpaper images
• Ability to apply wallpaper to to multiple different devices with different screen resolutions
• Selecting different wallpapers / colour palettes for different scenarios
  • home screen
  • lock screen
  • light mode
  • dark mode
  • sleep mode

Quality Attributes

Deployability: the app can be distributed and installed on different operating systems and device versions. Maintainability: the app can be easily updated for new device resolutions, device updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements

Evaluation

Maintainability Can use SonarQube, a static code analysis tool to find vulnerabilities in the code to keep the code maintainable

• Highlights areas that need simplification or refactoring by evaluating code using code quality metrics like complexity, duplications, technical dept ratio
• Help identify code smells (bad code patterns) that could complicate the code overtime
• Ensure maintainability issues are identified early by using continuous integration with GitHub actions to automatically analyse the code with each commit to ensure
• Check that new code doesn’t introduce maintainability issues by analysing GitHub pull requests before they are merged into the main branch

Deployability

• Use Docker to package the app and its dependancies so that containers can be easily deployed across different eviornments to thest the app across multiple devices and operating systems.
• Use GitHub Actions to automate the testing, building and deployment of ThemeCraft to deploy updates efficiently. Regularly deploy updates and monitor any issues during the processs.
• Use terraform to define computing environments and check that the app functions as expected in these environments
