The first prototype is almost done – I just need to add a couple presentation elements (listing articles by date submitted, highest scoring). When I get the site up (I still need to read how to use Capistrano to deploy a Rails site), we’ll open it up for a few […]
APR: Prototype Update
Just a quick update on the prototype for our agile project. We’ve dramatically improved test coverage, implemented authentication-restriction for some functionality, and refactored a litte of the code. Read on for the latest stats on coverage and testing.
APR: Initial Prototype Progress
Made some progress on the prototype for our agile project, getting Users and Articles (see the domain model) mostly implemented and partially tested, and some other parts of the application completed. Ruby has some interesting features for tracking statistics. Read on if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
APR: Infrastructure Setup
This morning I finished up the infrastructure setup for our project. A bunch of under the hood work. Definitely required some propeller-head skills. The goal of this work is to get us to a working prototype as soon as possible. There are a couple links to some good agile testing […]
APR: Updated Domain Model
More iteration in our agile project. In this article, we make several updates to the domain model (UML class diagram) based upon discussions on all of the articles in the series. More than a couple dozen in the last day. Thanks to everyone who has helped with feedback and encouragement […]
APR: Updating Our Vision
We defined the vision for our agile project last week, and in this article propose an addition.
APR: Thoughts on Ratings
Our agile project is to create a site that lets you rate articles. In our corporate goals, we defined the goal to make it easier for people to find and read great content. Last night I was doing some research on social networks and thinking about the nature of our […]
APR: Domain Model – UML Class Diagram
Along with design sketches and requirements, as part of the concurrent design and requirements development for our agile project, we have created a UML class diagram representing the domain. This iterative process allows us to incorporate the benefits of each perspective rapidly with the others in our race to prototype […]
APR: Design Element Sketches
Here are the scans of the design elements I drew out the other night as part of the design and requirements exploration for our agile project case study. There are seven images (with larger versions) showing design exploration.
