new role

In last moment we change the team leader, because Sergio Collazos has a very nice English and is more easy to communicate with the teams. Friday we met and established the methods and the definite the role of teams members. All the teams make a comunication for mail, skype.

Project 3

Today we had a meeting and select the work we do in the Project 3, we select the keyboard, today we agreed find information and tomorrow we will do a meet where we will have start the design of the keyboard.

Finally Project 2

Finally we completing this project 2, we had contact with Team D during the implementation of project. The monday, Samuel Kofi Owusu a integrant of team D, sent a mail said that they feel good because it was nice meeting work with all of us on Skype. They completed are 16 unit tests for all the functions and all of them passed. In our project we had problems with the pointers but the whole team did their best job. This week we have to send some questions about the proyect and start the Tetris

Work in pairs

For this Project we talk some points like a in the way that we would program, the project is short and prefer to work in pairs, I will work with Katherine clearly the programing pair work are more effective, than only one programmer working on the task. Both programmers work closely together, chatting the whole time, jotting down reminders of things to do, and pointing out pieces of code on the screen. Pair programming isn’t always successful, and recent studies cast doubt on the “driver-navigator” metaphor. Four mechanisms can improve pair programming performance.

Prior session

Today we have the session in skype with the team D, in this session we have to answer the questions that they will have with respect to our designer. Software development is a complex activity that requires a group of individuals working effectively as a team. Studies have shown that the performance of an effective team exceeds that of individuals acting independently. However, achieving effectiveness is a challenging task that needs investment and commitment. In this session, we investigate the characteristics that differentiate effective teams from all others.

Do project 2

Let’s do the project 2, in this week we check the mail that the professor sent us to the assigned of the project that we have to do, is very interesting because we will do the project that other team made, like the design documents, descriptions and diagrams, we have to take a contact with the team and start to work, this project help us in the dynamic business world of today, employer communication skills can make the difference between business success and business failure. Many business relationships begin through a "cold call" or some other impromptu conversation. As such, a first impression is everything.

Project 2

Met team today and we start to work in the project 2 finally the team is for 5 persons, the assignments of each person rol found in the page of the team, this project is very interesting because we need to do a design documents, descriptions, and diagrams. It is very interesting because we design a project for other team and we need to stay in contact for some doubts that the team will have during the project.

Project 1

This week is the end of the Project 1 and I can see that the some things like P4,visual studio 2010 and the language C++ were not entirely clear in this first deliver but in this moment I can said that I had errors and I learned of them, prepared me to understand the dynamic on the project. With this first Project I learn that analyze the code of other person involves spending more time and stress, because is easier do my code and do the unit tests, that understanding the code and then treat to do the unit tests. I think that the communication for the teams in the University of Tecnologico De Monterrey is very clear and the communication with Keenan and the others universities is efficient. The objective of this project is to learn, meet and have good experiences of development of software and I can said that I´m having these esperiences .

Unit tests

Unit tests are used to exercise other source code by directly calling the methods of a class, passing appropriate parameters, and then, if you include Assert statements, they can test the values that are produced against expected values. Unit test methods reside in test classes, which are stored in source code files.

You can generate unit tests by using a dialog box reached through Visual Studio tools windows. Each unit test is created as a C#, Visual Basic, or Visual C++ method. Its code and attributes reside in a source file in a test project of the same language. The new test targets the specific code you want tested. You can generate a single unit test for an individual method, multiple tests for methods that you select, or multiple tests for all the methods in a class or namespace.

P4

I only finished 8 unit tests and I can’t connect to P4. I tried to see mi team for help and we work in that. :S

Testing Project

This week we have the days of the first deliveries, but all the week I need do things that not permits me to work in the tests. I have two days of delay in delivery of this project for that reason in Friday I have to do this tests. In Monday we talked whith the professor Monrroy about some setbacks that we have had for example we don't have access for some information, other point that was mentioned was that some of the classmates want to leave the project for this reason is likely to be integrated our classmate Sergio Eduardo Collazos Iriarte on the team.
