Format

Group project plus presentation.

Instructions

1. Form a group of 2 to 4 people
2. Choose a project.
• One of the Katas listed below (not already chosen by another group)
• A Kata of your choice (has to be approved)
• A project of your choice (has to be approved)
3. Work on the project.
• The project should be hosted on a GitHub repository (or a repository provided by a similar service)
• You should practice Continuous Integration while working on the project (you can use Travis CI or other similar tools to implement the CI system)
• To practice Continuous Integration you need automated tests. Use automated tests and Test Driven Development to grow your code.
• Keep in mind the concept of Simple Design, code smells, S.O.L.I.D. Principles.
4. Present your completed project.
• Show a live demo (working software is the primary measure of progress)
• Describe what steps you took, what tests you used (the commit history could help in doing this)
• Show the code, highlight design choices you made and why you made them
5. Answer our questions about the project.
• We will look at the objects in your systems to understand how they work together (i.e., the web of objects)
• We will look at the tests to understand how they guided the development
• We will look for code smells, S.O.L.I.D. Principles violations, lack of clarity (both in production and test code)
• We will look for functional style code (e.g., Java Streams)
