tP week 7: Get ready for iterationstP week 9: v1.0


tP week 8: mid-v1.0

  1. Ensure you know tP expectations
  2. Start implementing v1.0
  3. Use GitHub to manage milestones
  4. Add some JUnit Tests

Lookout for these mistakes which were the most common in previous runs of the course:

  1. Not following the required phrasing style for the first sentence of Java method header comments.
  2. Not following the convention for Git commit message subject.
    Caution: This is very hard to rectify later, after PR containing the commits have been merged.
    Reason: While Git allows editing past commits, it changes their timestamp, which affects your weekly code contribution stats (which are factored into evaluating the consistency of your coding work over the project duration)

1 Ensure you know tP expectations

  • If you haven't done so already, make sure you know individual and team expectations of the tP

2 Start implementing v1.0

You may code from any of the below to be used in your tP, provided you give credit to the source (and do not claim such code as yours).

  • The iP code of any of your team members, or of any other person in the course.
  • Code from AddressBook-Level2 or any code used in course activities e.g., personbook
  • Start implementing v1.0, by adding code in small steps, while working in parallel, aiming to produce a VERY simple working version after one week, and a bit more functional version at the end of iteration (i.e., after two weeks).

  • See the panel below for our recommendations on the project workflow.

3 Use GitHub to manage milestones

  • We recommend using the GitHub issue tracker and its milestones feature to manage your project milestones, as explained in the following panels.

4 Add some JUnit Tests
