| Description |
BabySteps is a mobile application designed for newborn caregivers. It helps parents, grandparents, nannies, and other members of a newborn's "village" stay organized and updated on the child's development. It was developed by a team of four computer scientists as their Senior Capstone Project. We ideated the app in August 2023 and continued shaping its design through October 2023. Development took place from November 2023 through April 2024, and BabySteps is now deployed to Apple's TestFlight and Google Play's Internal Testing services. We followed an Agile development which progressed through prototype, alpha, beta, and final build phases, with weekly sprints in each phase. Team members brought experience from industry and previous courses and kept learning good software engineering practices throughout the months of development. This project thesis shares the development of BabySteps and reflects on the things I learned through its development. |
