Abstract:
The Color Calculator web application aims to provide an intuitive platform for experimenting with and adjusting hair colors. This document details its development process and future improvements. We begin by outlining its primary features. Users can register and optionally subscribe to premium features. The Color Mixer module uses Google Gemini API to compute and recommend combinations based on user-selected colors. Beyond color mixing, the app offers additional tools. The Suggest Alternate Color module provides related or different color options based on product descriptions from the big database of hair color products and Google Gemini API. The Locate Nearby Beauty Salons module uses location data (with consent) to display relevant salons. The Contact Us module allows users to reach developers via email, feedback forms, or chat features. The application prioritizes data security and user privacy through encryption, restricted access, and secure authentication. Admin modules for managing user accounts, application data, and system settings are accessible only to authorized personnel. Thorough system testing ensures a high-quality experience. Testing approaches include performance testing for responsiveness, usability testing for user experience, GUI testing for visual appeal and functionality, compatibility testing across various platforms, exception handling for errors, security testing for vulnerabilities, and installation testing for smooth deployment. The Color Calculator project emphasizes technology integration, user-centered design, and comprehensive testing. By understanding user needs and utilizing technologies like ASP.NET Web Forms framework, C-Sharp, Python, HTML/CSS, and Microsoft SQL database, we create an application that facilitates color exploration. Future improvements may include machine learning for smart recommendations, social features, mobile development, e-commerce integration, and advanced color mixing features, enhancing the app’s value for designers, artists, and color enthusiasts.
