Student Curriculum Planning System MSE Project Presentation III Kevin Sung

Overview Component Design User Manual Assessment Evaluation Project Evaluation Demonstration

Project Overview Providing curriculum planning service to CIS Advisor and Student. SCPS provides auto-generated course plan function for user. SCPS can perform real-time prerequisite check for user. Three course plans per student Student and Faculty can communicate through the same system. The system is implemented under the.NET Framework. ASP.NET, C# and SQL server

Component Design

Assessment Evaluation Unit Testing Testing through individual web form's functions Integration Testing Main test cases are tested from here

Unit Testing 1. SCPS Web Form btnSubmitPassed Login Process execute successfully 2. PlanView Web Form Page_Load Passed grdSelectStudent Passed DataGrid displays correctly the advisee information for advisor to select. Search Passed Successfully Execute query enter by the advisor and display the result on the grdSelectStudent. ddlPlan Passed The DropDownList successfully let user to select plan to load. btnLoadPlanPassed User prompt to the Course Plan View and the correct course plan is loaded

Unit Testing (Cont.) 3. CourseView Web Form – SavePassed – The course plan will be save back to the database. – Back Passed – The user is successfully lead back to the PlanView.aspx – ClearPassed – The new course plan is automatic generated and loaded. – PrintPassed – A table view of the course plan is successfully shown by opening a new window of the PrintView.aspx webform

Unit Testing (Cont.) 4. CourseViewIS Web Form – SavePassed – The course plan will be save back to the database. – Back Passed – The user is successfully lead back to the PlanView.aspx – ClearPassed – The new course plan is automatic generated and loaded. – PrintPassed – A table view of the course plan is successfully shown by opening a new window of the PrintView.aspx webform

Unit Testing (Cont.) 5. CourseContainer Class btnAddCoursePassed User is leaded to ContainerView.aspx and the list of courses is generated for user to select. listCourse Passed The DropDownList has provided courses for user to select. listTime Passed The DropDownList has provided available times for user to select. btnSubmit Passed The button that has added the course to the active course plan when clicked. btnDropCourse Passed The button that has dropped the course to the active course plan when clicked.

Project Evaluation 1. Usefulness of the methodologies used Unified Modeling Language Object Constraint Language

Project Evaluation (Cont.) 2. Accuracy of the estimations Line of Code Estimate line of code=3000 Actual line of code=4977 C# code=4468 Auto-Generated Code=823 Developer Written=3645 Web Form (HTML, ASP, JavaScript)=509 Auto-Generated Code=227 Developer Modified=282 Auto Generation code from IDE used attribute to the difference of estimation

Project Evaluation (Cont.) Time Estimation Estimate 6.18 staff months 4.99 months Actual Phase I~55.17 hours (74 days, 592 hours est.) Phase II~39.42 hours (31 days, 279 hours est.) Phase III~82.42 hours (37 days, 333 hours est.) Total177 hours, ~1 week 10 calendar months

Project Evaluation (Cont.) Time Estimation (Cont.) Reason of Difference Difference in working hours per day. Slack time are not counted. Inexperience of the developer on estimating the schedule of the project.

Lessons Learned Good understanding of the tool used and system component employed give a good head starts for the project. Don’t underestimate the complexity of the business logic. Using good tools and having a good design are critical to the successful conclusion of the project.

Future Work  Upgrading Software Used during deployment  Boost Performance  More Resources  Import Data from the Better Data Source Better Data Integrity Always up-to-date data
