No bar chart for Hall positive cases

[channne]

UG states that

But in the summarise command, only the faculties have a bar chart. The halls have pie charts but it is difficult to compare between pie charts because the pie charts are large and have to be continuously scrolled through rather than viewable all at once.

Team's Response

Hi, we are organising the data according to charts. Pie charts are great to compare within a block. Bar charts are great to compare larger data categories like faculty. You can clearly identify how many covid positive students in a block as the number is stated too. We decided to present it in this easy to digest format of scrolling and charts as referenced from receiving responses and suggestions from people in real life. This is a good way to represent data.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: The user guide states that the summarise function allows users to "get an idea of the hall block or faculty where Covid is more prevalent". The ideal data visualization method would thus be a method that allows for comparing across blocks, not just within blocks as with the pie charts. Hence, I made the suggestion of a bar plot (or even better a stacked bar plot) or a side-to-side representation of the pie charts for each block. This allows for the data from each block to be simultaneously visualized, making it easier to compare across blocks.

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I think that this is more likely to be a flaw that causes occasional inconvenience to some users (due to having to scroll back and forth to view the prevalence of Covid across blocks) rather than a flaw that appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.
