FRIC - a documentation and analysis tool for the Army Research Lab ✍️

Portfolio-title

Overview

The Cyber Experimentation & Analysis Division (CEAD) recognizes the complexity and the time it takes to manage task assignments, progress, vulnerability discovery during a cyber engagement and generate custom reports that presents the discovered vulnerabilities and potential issues to CEAD’s target audience. They want a system that would aid the management of task, collection of evidence, and report generation during a cyber engagement.

My team and I developed the Findings and Reporting Information Console (FRIC) as a response to the problem statement, for our senior project during the Fall 2020 semester at the University of Texas at El Paso

FRIC was built using an Agile + Scrum methodology, including daily standups, bi-weekly retrospectives, and using Jira for the issue tracking tool. It was the closest a class has come to emulating a real-world application development lifecycle.
