Software Development Assignment: Test-Driven Development and Graphical User Interface Programming
Section 1: Learning Objectives
- To experience team-based program development using an approach similar to test driven development.
- To develop a Graphical User Interface.
- To develop your skills in object oriented design including: inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism.
- To develop your skills implementing software patterns.
- To demonstrate your ability to write clear, understandable program code.
Section 2: Your Tasks
You must obtain the incomplete source tree from the assignment repository on BitBucket. The link to obtain the repository is listed above.
- You will need to provide a solution to a problem written in the Java programming language.
- The necessary functionality of your solution is described in this specification document.
- In addition, you will be provided with a 'Javadoc' Application Programming Interface specification.
- You must develop comprehensive test suites in JUnit for the classes produced by your partner.
Section 3: Scenario
Pizza Palace is a restaurant in West End, Brisbane. Last year, they had a group of students from Kingsland University of Technology develop a logging system that recorded orders placed at their restaurant. They would now like to produce a system that interprets the logs and displays the information on a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Section 4: Downloading Code
You need to download some pre-existing code from a repository on BitBucket. The link for the repository is provided on the first page. You should import the repository into Eclipse using the steps outlined in the GitForPracs document available on Blackboard. You can find this document using the following steps: Blackboard->Learning Resources-> Help Guides and Other Resources.
Section 5: Problem Details
Your task is to write a Java program to analyse log files and display the derived information to a GUI. Each log file contains information about a set of pizza orders split into two main sections:
1. Information about the pizza being ordered; and
2. Information about the customer ordering the pizza.
There are certain constraints regarding the pizzas and customers which your program must adhere to. Here, we describe the constraints relating to pizzas and the customers, then we outline the log file and finally, describe the functionality required for the GUI.
Section 5.1 Pizzas
Section 5.2 Customers
Section 5.3 The Log Files
Section 5.4 The GUI
Section 6: Example Log File
Attached are some example log files (all with valid imput)
Section 7: Detailed Tasks
The source tree for the assignment includes the packages shown in Figure 2. The key subdirectories are:
- src: This directory contains all the source code. As a team you will need to complete code for system functionality in the asgn2Customers, asgn2Pizzas, asgn2Resurant, asgn2GUis, asgn2Wizards packages as well as test code in the asgn2Tests package.
- doc: This directory contains the API. It has been generated using the Javadoc tool on a complete system.
- logs: This directory contains some test logs.
- libs: This directory contains the libraries for JUnit and Hamcrest.
Section 7.1 Tasks by Package
Please Note: For all packages and classes carefully check that you have spelt the file's name correctly, otherwise it will not work with our automated marking software.
Section 8: Testing and Exceptions
The following principles need to be followed when dealing with testing and exceptions in Assignment. Please note that this these principles only refer to the classes in following packages: asgn2Pizzas, asgn2Customers, asgn2Restaurant, asgn2GUIs, asgn2Wizards. Exceptions in your JUnit tests should be handled as per the standard covered in lectures and tutorials.
Section 8.1 - What types of errors are there and where should errors be handled?
Section 8.2 - Propagating Exceptions Without Violating the API
Section 8.3 - Rethrowing the Same Exception
Section 9: Test Driven Development and Teams
Section 9.1 - Breakdown of Work
One of the keys aims of this assignment is to give you experience working in a team based test driven development scenario. Therefore, you should be designing and implementing the test cases for your partner and vice versa. As such, the breakdown of the work should be as listed in Table 5. For most of the classes you will be able to work individually (individual model classes and individual test classes). However, sometimes both team members will need to work on the same class and sometimes on the same method (shared model classes).
Section 9.2 - Forming Teams
Section 10: Additional APIs
We will cover the vast majority of work required to complete the assignment in class. However, there are some additional APIs which you will need to read yourself. This is not an uncommon practice in Java software development since the JDK is large and so programmers regularly use unfamiliar APIs. Note you should have already covered the desired functionality in your previous programming units, so you should know what needs to be done even if you don't know explicitly how it should be done in Java. Here, we have listed the some of the APIs and provided links to the Official Java Tutorial.
