In Figure 1, final test results are shown. The results were conducted on the completed project. In the table, the results of each trial are shown and the check marks display each component working properly. The ex mark shows that the component of the project did not work properly on that trial. The group performed fifteen trials.

Figure 1

Video 1 displays how the project works. The video shows that the system is armed on the app and then has a person, Will, jump into the pool to show that the Pool Pal detects him and send an alert to the app user. This alert is a text and phone call telling the user that someone has fallen in. On trial five, there was an error in the code that occurred in which a loop was continuously running even though its criteria was met. The group tried to replicate this error following the trial and was unsuccessful. Trial five is shown in the video 2.

Video 2 shows the trial in which the system did not work properly. In this trial, there was an error in the code that occurred in which a loop was continuously running even though its criteria was met. The group tried to replicate this error following the trial and was unsuccessful.
