Software Requirements

Starting Up the Prototype

Implementation

Removing friends, adding books to the book list, learning more about books and recommending books are all things we simulated to work. 

Adding a book only adds that book, as the response is canned, so previous book additions won't appear. A book won't be added if it's already on your booklist by default.

The search bar is also non functioning. 

The logout screen simply takes you to a screen that says logout, since there is no log in functionality.

Depth

There are a few parts which are more shallow than others. Searching for new member won't return a result because there is no access to a database in the friends list. Likewise, searching overall is shallow.

One cannot receive recommendations, as that would require backend work; we substituted this functionality with an alert that lets the user know that his/her recommendation has been sent.

Any changes made are impermanent; most will be lost upon reloading any page.
