2. Proposed System Java GUI Aids in the creation of set lists. Takes into consideration set list logic. Add/Remove/Edit Data Save/Load Data

3. WHY? The Idea for the system came during a disagreement between my band over what songs we should play during a set list. I thought that if there was a way to automate the process taking into consideration the logic of creating a set list, it would solve this problem.

4. Set List Logic There are many constraints which need to be taken into consideration when creating a set list. Set List Time – The time of a set list is usually a time constraint that the band must take into consideration when making a set. Song Picking – A song should only be played once during a set. Tuning – Songs in the same tuning should be played back to back to cut down on downtime on stage. Intensity – Depending on where your playing, what kind of crowd, and the over all mood of the show, a set lists intensity should be taken into consideration. The most intense songs in a set should also be played first and last, in order to capture the crowds attention, and leave them with a strong intensity. Cover Songs – Cover songs are songs by other artists. Only a certain amount of cover songs should be picked, so the band doesn’t sound like a cover band.

7. Test Plan Unit testing – Unit testing basically took place in the development process. As the project came together, I tried to make sure all was functioning correctly. Integration testing – Integration testing took place when the system was fully developed and functioning, any bugs found at this stage were fixed. Acceptance testing – Acceptance testing is scheduled to be implemented as soon as I can get together with some users. I plan to have my band, as well as another band, work with the system and give feedback as to whether the set lists being generated are valid.
