✅ ‘Step Test Data’
Additional customer notes and observations (often vague and undefined):
• The test may be performed by a single individual but equally, the test could be applied to a group of
participants. The participants details can be entered manually before each test or the list of participant details
can be imported prior to the test session taking place. In this case, the operator will select a participant before
each test.
• The step height can differ but it is specified and fixed for any particular testing session.
• Once the parameters have been defined and set for each test the participant will commence the first step test.
On completion, the first heart rate reading will be taken and recorded.
• Any recorded HR less than 50% of the maximum HR will be ignored in the final calculation. • The
participant will then continue this process up to a maximum of FIVE tests or until the HR reading is above
85% of the maxHR.
• Any recorded HR greater than 85% of the maximum HR will conclude the test but will be ignored in the final
calculation.
• Once the reading exceeds 85% the testing is over for the current participant.
• Currently the paper documents are filed for reference so the data and results for each test will need to be stored
in a persistent database. Users should be able to switch to a different screen to query previous test data of the
current participant.
• Once an individual participant has completed the test the system will need to reset ready for the next
participant.
• The system will need to deal with special cases, i.e. If there’s no - or only one - valid reading

✅ ‘Step Test Data’
yeah im sorry:
Task B:
1. In order to demonstrate your understanding of Programming within an Object Oriented visual environment
you are required to develop and test software based on your design, to replace the current manual process for
collecting, analysing and storing ‘Step Test Data’.
2. You are also required to evaluate your solution in relation to your design, usability and functionality. The
evaluation will include a description on your chosen testing strategy with appropriate plans, logs and results,
identifying differences between expected and actual results. If your solution differs from your original design,
document the differences and describe why. The evaluation provides an opportunity to achieve additional
marks by describing design features, functionality, good practice and enhancements.
Guidance:
Your tutor will act as the customer and as such, will be available for interview during class / lab sessions. However, the
document used for recording the current manual process is given below which includes the following instructions for the
graphical analysis:
1. Plot the heart rate at each of the levels until they achieve approximately 85% of their max HR. Nb. ensure the
levels correspond to the correct step height.
2. Draw a straight line that best fits these points.
3. Extend this line to cross their max HR line for their age.
4. Drop a line from this intersection to the baseline and read the predicted aerobic capacity (units mls02/kg/min)
