We have a website functionality issue, the site is currently hosted on an iOS machine and runs on Safari. Therefore testing should be done on a similar setup. A touchscreen display for testing would be beneficial on testing this website.


See below notes on the issue explained:

We are trying to use the timeline on a touch screen display.

  • The time line slide control on the left side of the page does nothing.
  • The arrows which control the direction Up & Down are unresponsive, they sometimes work to change the scoll direction.
  • When scrolling on the timeline it gets stuck and freezes the screen on the beginning of the time line


It should work as follows:

  • The slide control on the left hand side should allow you to quickly jump or slide to a position on the timeline
  • Right hand side arrows change the auto scroll direction.


It would useful to embed a version number into the source code, so that we can be certain the most recent copy is being run on the test device.

Deliverables

We will send a local copy of the website for you to work on locally.

Open to ideas and fixes for this website, we do no need to use existing code if there is a better way of building this, our objective is to get the below issues fixed:

  • Fix the auto scrolling of the website
  • Fix the functionality of dragging the timeline so it can be moved forward or backwards
  • When dragging the timeline we want a smooth transition and it should not jump from top or bottom of the timeline
  • Fix the arrow control on the website to allow it to change direction or move forward or backwards on the timeline


Once the above is fixed we will look into UI/UX fixes to make this site more functional on a touch screen display.
