of the page
Now that you are almost done with the project (let me commend all of you for putting in
the efforts and for not drawing graffiti on my office door :-) ), I would like to publish
the final document to the course site that details the requirements for the final
milestone of the project. Please read the document carefully as I do not want you to lose
any easy points after you have spent so much time on the development of the project.
1. You need to ftp all your files into my server by 5 p.m.
on December 11, 2000. the username and password will be given to you on the last
day of class. I will not accept any ftp after this deadline. Regardless what time your group is presenting, you
need to be in OU 129 from the very beginning till the end unless you have a
class or have to work. (Your peers need your support!) If you need to be excused
for leaving early, be sure to tell me ahead of time.
2. You need to stop by my office or send me an email to let
me know what ODBC Data Store name is to be used for your Access database. For the rest of
files, namely the HTML documents, the images, the sevlets, and the Access *.mdb file, you
should be able to upload the files yourselves without my intervention.
3. You need to complete a project evaluation form individually
and turn it to me on or before 5 p.m. on December 11, 2000. The evaluations will be
carefully studied and they are confidential. You can print out the project evaluation form that is available online. Just click
here for a copy.
4. Your project group is to complete a Project Information
Form and turn it in to me on or before 5 p.m. on December 11, 2000. You are to give me a
hardcopy of the filled form as well as an electronic copy. In addition, you are to ftp this form to the /examples
directory of my server. You are to name your file GxxProjInfo.html where
xx is your group number. (The is the same group number that you used in naming your
project files.) Click here for a copy of the form. Be sure
to rename it from Project_Info_Form.html to the appropriate name. An example of
a filled form is given in e-Ticket.
5. Your project group is also to complete a "brag
sheet" (max: 1 page) that showcases the features of the project. Highlight the ones
that involve technologies that have not been covered in class.
6. You (just a member of your team will do) need to stop by my office on or
before 5 p.m. of December 11, 2000 to turn
in everything from the project. I need you to show me the working system
running on my machine. (If your system requires special installation, tell
me ahead of time so that we can get the special requirement resolved before the
deadline.) Thus, do not simply leave your project in the
ACS office. See the checklist below for the final project documentation
requirement. I will not accept any project after this deadline.
I will be available in my office from 2 - 5 p.m. on Dec 11 for a team
member (from each group) to stop by and load the system. (If a different time
slot is needed, arrange with me ahead of time. Of course, it needs to be before
the deadline.)
Final Presentation
Each group has approximately 20-25 minutes for the presentation.
Each member of the group should participate in the
presentation if possible.
Generally speaking, your presentation should include an introduction to the business
model, a discussion on the main features of the project, followed by a demo of those
features. Concentrate on features that are unique to your project.
(For example, showing just the "Login" screen, the "Add a new
Member" is not sufficient since there features are common to almost all
systems.) If time permits,
summarize on the life cycle and provide insights on the "up and down" moments,
the division of work, lessons learned, etc.
Keep in mind that this is your moment to show off your work. Thus, organize the
presentation such that it shows the real project and not a piece of the project that is
trivial/common to all or (worse still) one that does not work properly because of
inadequate testing. You need to know exactly what you want to present before begin. Avoid
doing "Let's try feature X or Y and put in values A or B. They should work."
Know precisely which path you want to take us through and know precisely which test values
you want to use. For this reason, you need to turn in a list of your demo tasks before
your presentation.
Good Luck!
Check List (do this before the final presentation)
1. _____ Complete and give me (just before presentation) a "tasks to demo" sheet
Check List (do this before 5 p.m. on December 11, 2000)
I. _____ Turn in Project Binder. It must have the following:
1. _____ Milestones 1, 2, and 3 (and the Replace Pages)
2. _____ Grade sheets for Milestones 1
3. _____ Completed Project Information form
4. _____ "Brag sheet"
5. _____ Experience Report / Lessons Learned
This is a 1.5-2 page (single-spaced) description of your implementation
experience. This is the "behind the scenes" stuff. The intent here
is to let someone learn about the dos and don'ts when using the same
technologies later. Discuss the "gotchas" and "best
practices" so that others have a better chance of succeeding in the
future. An example is given in this Barter
E-Commerce Application project.
6. _____
A list of all
the (revised) use cases. For each of the use cases, indicate where in your
system the use case is dealt with. For example,
Use
Case #1:
Rent a Tape/Car
Implemented
in:
In
the Main Menu, Transactions | Rent a Tape/Car. (Add additional instructions
here if the form that processes this use case needs some explanations. If a
use case is not implemented, say “Not Implemented.” You should not have
too many of these!)
Use
Case #2:
Add a Customer
Implemented
In:
·
In
the Main Menu, Customer | Add. (Add additional instructions here if the form
that processes this use case needs some explanations.)
·
Also,
Transactions | Rent a Tape/Car. Click on New in the Customer section of the
form.
7. _____ Disk(s) containing all the files (the files for Business Model,
Use Cases, all of the above, ... everything used in this
project)
II. _____ A team member has loaded the System (and it is running fine) in Dr.
Lim's JSDK server
1. _____ Setup the *.java, *.class, *.html, and *.jpg / *.gif files
2. _____ Setup ODBC data store (if Access DBMS is used)
III. _____ Complete project team evaluation
form (individual team members, turn this in yourself)
Very Important:
Make sure that when you get everything
working properly, ftp your files to my server and test, test, and test (from my server)!
Some of you have hard-coded your URLs with localhost ... That will not work when
everything is to be run from my server! You need to simply put /examples/... in your link.
Again, please make sure that the system
is running properly when the final presentation is given.
