l Term Project:

o Download a guide for the project.

o Examples of testing projects: [1], [2], [3]

o Develop and test a program of your choice.

· Explain why it is worth doing.

· Describe your design with UML concepts.

· Describe how you plan to test it.

· Implement it.

· Please explain your design with the UML notations.

· Please explain your test planning.

· Submit to Microsoft App Store http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/apps ?

o 2 students as a team, a programmer and a tester.

· The programmer and the tester define specification together.

· Then they work in parallel respectively for the program and test plan implementation.

· The two members will be graded separately.

· Change of specification will cause pain between the two members and should be avoided.

o Checkpoints:

1. 3/5: Registration of the teams

Send the following registration information through emails to the TA.

· team name, member names and their roles

· student ID numbers of the two members

2. 3/19: Proposal

Each team presents its proposal in 10mins.

· The powerpoint files fo the presentation are to be sent to the TA via emails.

· Explain your project, argue for it, specify it, show your design, explain how to test it.

3. 4/30: Mid-term project report.

· Submission of the mid-term project report via emails to the TA.

· The report email should have attachment for the program code, test program code, and a test report.

4. 6/11: Final presentation

· Each team makes a 10-min presentation.

· The powerpoint files for the presentation are to be sent to the TA via emails.

· The program, test plan code, and the test report are also to be sent to the TA via emails.

· Explain how your program runs and is sufficiently tested.

o Materials:

§ A link to a simple example of using UML for program design (by Professor Russell C. Bjork)
