Update on how Ive been

Hi everyone, Sean here again with an update on my progress in QCC. Everything is going well enough and I’m passing my courses with decent marks, so there is truly nothing to complain about on my end.

I just miss people from University but I still have some friends that have graduated and some still on their journey, as life goes.

I’ll make sure to write a more detailed post later on, perhaps on…

Detour: Studying at Quinsigamond

Detour: Studying at Quinsigamond

Hi guys. Its been a long while since I last wrote here.

So, the past few semesters at Worcester State University haven’t been working out all that well for me. I’ve been taking less classes per semester, and not passing each one. Me and my mom and Aunt (whom covers the cost of my tuition) decided that going for my associates and a certification from Quinsigamond would be the best course of…

Software Capstone: Refining the Intake Form

Software Capstone: Refining the Intake Form

Welcome again to my blog;

Lately, we’ve been working to add missing fields and options into the Intake Form. The code necessary to run the server and open the form had been implemented long ago, so with that functionality taken care of, there has been a lot of progress in terms of how the page is formatted and what questions and information were required/optional for the user to input.

The most…

Software Capstone: Where We Are Now.

Software Capstone: Where We Are Now.

Hello again, reader!

Much work has been completed on the repository our professor has created on Github, initially moving our original files from Gitlab over. Now, it appears very much different than our original project our small team had begun working on this semester.

There is another separate team which has put in the time to help develop this project, leading to the software coming together…

Software Quality/Assurance (8/8)

Topic: When a program becomes outdated. Sometimes, programs lose relevancy; whether it is because new software has been developed that eclipse the capabilities of the older software, or because of a lack of developer interest, programs eventually become outdated or obsolete. Take for example Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer was Microsoft’s internet browser developed for their Windows line of…

Software Quality/Assurance (7/8)

Topic: Software Versions (Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta, Release)

There are classifications that software falls into dependent on the stage of development it is in. In the Pre-Alpha stage, this is where the plans for the software are made and a general design is thought up.

During the Alpha stage, there is a working program (which is prone to bugs and crashes and, at worst, data loss.) Most developers…

Software Quality/Assurance (6/8)

Topic: Steps to creating quality software/Software Development Cycle

  There is a general procedure to how software is created that can help assure that there is a baseline for quality – a plan for how the software should work, what functions it can complete, what the customer of the software wants and more. Out of six steps in the design process, three have to do with coming up with the design,…

Software Quality/Assurance (5/8)

Topic: CppUnit in Microsoft Visual Studio

So, we have JUnit tests for Java files. But what about C++ files? What is a Unit test format we could use for this programming language? One solution that appears similar to JUnit (in terms of how the code is formatted,) is CppUnit, part of the Microsoft Unit Testing Framework for C++.

In the header, you need to use #include to make sure you have the…

Software Quality/Assurance (4/8)

Topic: What is JUnit testing?

JUnit is the most widely known testing framework for Java. JUnit tests typically are developed prior to the development of actual code. With the tests in place, the developer knows how the code should function (much like if an Interface class was created, outlining the needed methods of a class implementing the Interface.) Once code is written in the main class, the…

Software Quality/Assurance (3/8)

Topic: Main classes VS Test classes

In Java, the project in the file system is set up in such a way that there are two separate directories for code to be put into. The file directory looks something like (src/main/java) for the main code, and (src/test/java) for the testing code. The testing code should be developed first to outline how the main code will function.

In the main java folder, one…

Software Quality/Assurance (2/8)

Post Topic: Testing with Java vs C++

So, how are the programming languages – Java and C++ – similar or different in the testing stage? Both use a similar kind of testing known as Unit testing, which executes a specific function in C++ or a method in Java.

These tests are referred to slightly differently. For C++ they are known simply as Unit tests and are written in c files. In Java, the tests…

Software Capstone: Our First Sprint

Software Capstone: Our First Sprint

Its nice to be writing again; hi again, everyone.

Since our last class meeting (two weeks ago,) we had planned out how our first sprint would work. At the time, I was looking into creating a java class which would be able to handle updating a Google Sheet using Googles Java API. During the beginning of last week, I gave writing out the code a shot and managed to attain some level of…

Software Capstone: Project Progress

Software Capstone: Project Progress

In our class, we are working on a project that has to do with the food pantry on campus. We are designing software in the Java language in hopes that we can create a web based database solution for our pantry.

So far, we have been setting up the basic structure of our Gitlab repository and communication methods. We use Trello as an online cork-board showing our progress across each of the…
