Technological Implementation and Quality Assurance

Technological implementation plan

The Technological Implementation Plan summarises the results that have and will be achieved in the project. A draft plan for FASTY is available.

By the end of year 1 of the three-year plan, the following was achieved:

• The prototype of a User Ability Assessment Tool (UAAT) has been developed for testing purposes.
• The prospective users have been contacted and the user panel has been founded.
• A FASTY web site in 5 languages has been created.
• A prototype of a pressure sensitive keyboard is available for testing and gaining first data.
• A Rapid Prototype showing a variety of prediction windows and settings has been developed.

Broad dissemination and use intentions for the expected outputs:

• The composition of the consortium ensures a strong commercial participation. Focus will be given to a medium time-to-market of 3-5 years.

Quality Assurance Plan

The Quality Assurance Plan should lead to procedures, techniques and tools that serve to ensure that a product meets or exceeds pre-defined or implicitly assumed standards during its life cycle. This means that responsibility for the product's quality does not end with project's completion date but lasts beyond that, according to the exploitation plan.

Quality control and assurance in the FASTY project have two aspects:

• Quality of the work - to be achieved by process standards. Process standards describe the organizational basic conditions.
• Quality of the final results - to be achieved by product standards. Product standards describe the process that leads to the quality of the product itself.
