In the last decade we have seen a significant rise in dating apps which leaves users endlessly swiping hoping to find “the one”. LoveLink brings a new angle to the dating game by matching compatible individuals using surveys.
LoveLink will allow users to complete a survey and based on compatibility match, link two users together. LoveLink plans to be cross-platform in nature, serving both a web and mobile interface.
The idea has been quite successful in the U.S.A with Marriage Pact, however has failed to reach an Australian audience. A recent attempt was made by a group called Campus Cupid but did not reach its potential after controversial business decisions and privacy concerns.

LoveLink will consist of the following functionality:
In terms of the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) we want to build a system where a user will be able to register and sign into a LoveLink account. From here the user will be able to fill out an extended questionnaire describing themselves which will be attached to their account. If an available and compatible match exists then the user will get the match and be able to message back and forth.
The website will be available on the browser, however for the MVP LoveLink will not be available in the App/Play store.
Availability LoveLink should be available on the web browser. From this users will always be able to access LoveLink as long as they have access to a browser (from a computer or mobile).
Scalability The app should be able to handle high amounts of requests, and with this scalability needs to come into mind. The app should be able to support high number of concurrent users and requests, with at most minor loss of app performance.
Testibility Ensuring the app works as per expectation is important. LoveLink should have multiple browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc.) to ensure user satisfaction. The scalability of the website should also be tested to see how the site works under high stress.
Availability This will be done with user testing, with various devices and browsers. We will want to ensure all major browsers on both computer and mobile device are supported.
Scalability From testing we can evaluate LoveLink under high stress. Sending high amounts of requests to the back-end while using the app as a normal user we can see how the app responds.
Testibility Want to check for any bugs with user-testing and ensure our endpoints are covered with appropriate unit-tests.
