Filip's Design Study
Background
My design study is related to my part time job, where I am developing an application that can retrieve and plot data from a device that monitors air quality. The application is connected to a back end server where certain data is stored.
User operations that require communication with the server roughly include:
- Requesting help (and that the user be contacted)
- Electronically registering a device
- Calibrating a device - data about the calibration process is uploaded
Additionally, server communication is needed when the application:
- Authenticates with the server
- Pings the server to ensure network connectivity
My goal here is to create a design for the application side server interface framework. HTTPS POST requests are to be used to transfer data to the server.
Requirements
As this is a just a part of the app, the requirements are largely self imposed & generic:
- something that works
- is as nicely designed as practical
- is as easy to understand and maintain as practical
- is flexible so that new server requests can be added without much hassle
