Agility - All About Smaller Chunks (Shorter/Frequent Cycles) Release 2 Release 1 Iteration 0 �software Iteration 1 �software . . . � software Iteration n �software Iteration 0 Iteration 1 � software . . . Iteration n software Incrementally Build Software - Highest Priority Features First! © Visual Patterns, Inc. .

Agile Method: Scrum • • Simple process for product/project management Product Backlog - List of known features/changes for product Sprint - 1 -month iterations (develop highest priority items) Meetings Sprint Planning Meeting – Done at beginning of each sprint (after planning, features moved from product backlog to sprint backlog) Daily scrum meeting (short: 15 minutes) Sprint review meeting © Visual Patterns, Inc. 16

Extreme Programming (XP) • Shorter and Frequent Cycles (smaller chunks!) Release - Quarterly Cycles (set a theme) Iteration - Weekly Cycles (e. g. aim for last day of week) 10 -minute builds Continuous integration (multiple times per day; manual or automatic) Incremental Design and Planning (defer investment till needed) Development in small increments using Test-First development • Communications - Sit Together, Informative Workspace, onsite customer • Flow - sustainable pace versus rigid phases; velocity, continuous integration • Others… visit extremeprogramming. org © Visual Patterns, Inc. 17

Project Initiation © Visual Patterns, Inc. 22

Problem Statement Our employees currently submit their weekly hours worked using a paper-based timesheet system that is manually intensive and errorprone. We require an automated solution for submitting employee hours worked, in the form of an electronic timesheet, approving them, and paying for the time worked. In addition, we would like to have automatic notifications of timesheet status changes and a weekly reminder to submit and approve employee timesheets. © Visual Patterns, Inc. 23

Choices Of Iteration Level (Detailed) Models Release Level Models scope table, glossary, etc. domain model user stories UI prototype & flow map architecture Iteration Level Models acceptance tests CRC cards application flow map UML diagrams database model © Visual Patterns, Inc. 33

Acceptance Tests (Serve As Detailed Requirements) • Sign In The employee id can be up to 6 characters. The password must be between 8 and 10 characters. Only valid users can sign in. • Timesheet List Only a user's personal timesheets can be accessed. • Enter Hours must contain numeric data. Daily hours cannot exceed 16 hours. Weekly hours cannot exceed 96 hours. Hours must be billed to a department. Hours can be entered as two decimal places. Employees can only view and edit their own timesheets. © Visual Patterns, Inc. 34

Property tasks for setting internal variables Audit/coverage tasks Database tasks Documentation tasks Execution tasks Mail tasks Preprocess tasks Property tasks Remote tasks Miscellaneous tasks (e. g. echo) <ftp server="mirrors. kernel. org" action="get" remotedir="/gnu/chess" userid="anonymous" password="guest@guest. com" verbose="yes" binary="yes"> <fileset file="README. gnuchess"/> </ftp> <mail tolist="friend@somehost. com" subject="Hello!" from="me@myhost. com" mailhost="myhost. com" user="myuserid" password="mypassword"/> © Visual Patterns, Inc. 48

JUnit (junit. org) • Originally written by Erich Gamma (Gang of Four, Design Patterns) Kent Beck (author of Extreme Programming and Test Driven Development) • Simple framework – various assert methods assert. Equals assert. False assert. Not. Null assert. Not. Same assert. Null assert. Same assert. True public class Simple. Test extends junit. framework. Test. Case { int value 1 = 2, value 2 = 3, expected. Result = 5; public static void main(String args[]) { junit. textui. Test. Runner. run(suite()); } public static Test suite() { return new Test.

JUnit GUI Based Testing Console Runner Eclipse Plug-in © Visual Patterns, Inc. 50

Agile Method: Test Driven Development (TDD) w/ JUnit • • A term coined by Kent Beck Also, a XP practice (test-first) “Red - Green - Refactor” Write Test First Code, Compile, Test ��� Write unit test code Write some actual code ��� More unit test code �More actual code ���� More unit test code �� More actual code Several benefits to this approach: Minimal code written to satisfy requirements ( nothing more, nothing less! ) If code passes the unit tests, it is done! Can help design classes better (from a client/interface perspective) Refactor with confidence © Visual Patterns, Inc. 51

Agile Java Development: Using Hibernate For Persistent Objects © Visual Patterns, Inc.

Quick Poll What persistence solution does your project use (e. g. JDBC, ORM, entity bean)? © Visual Patterns, Inc. 54

Where Hibernate Fits Into Our Architecture © Visual Patterns, Inc. 55

An Overview of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) • ORM - Java object to database table/record mapping Java = objects database = relational • Relationships unidirectional and bidirectional relations in a relational database are bidirectional by definition • Cardinality (OO term is multiciplicity) One-to-one one-to-many-to-one and many-to-many • Object Identity • Cascade • Others… © Visual Patterns, Inc. 56

Hibernate Basics • Dialect (DB 2, Microsoft SQL Server, My. SQL, Oracle, Postgre. SQL, SAP DB, Sybase, Times. Ten…) • Session. Factory, Session, and Transaction • Work with Database Records (as Java Objects) • Object States - persistent, detached, and transient • Data Types – more than you'll likely need! • Hibernate Query Language (HQL) – powerful SQL-like language © Visual Patterns, Inc. 57

From Domain Model To A (Denormalized) Physical Data Model © Visual Patterns, Inc. 58

Working With Hibernate - Simple Example Using Department 1. hibernate. cfg. xml – Hibernate configuration file (DB configuration) <mapping resource="Department. hbm. xml" /> 2. Department. hbm. xml – Mapping file for our Department table <class name="com. visualpatterns. timex. model. Department" table="Department"> <id name="department. Code" column="department. Code"> <property name="name" column="name"/> 3. Department. java – Bean file with two variables: String department. Code; String name; 4. Hibernate. Test. java – Simple test program (on next slide) © Visual Patterns, Inc. 59

Hibernate. Test. java Session. Factory session. Factory = new Configuration(). configure(). build. Session. Factory(); Session session = session. Factory. get. Current. Session(); Transaction tx = session. begin. Transaction(); Department department = (Department) session. get(Department. class, "IT"); System. out. println("Name for IT = " + department. get. Name()); . . . List department. List = session. create. Query("from Department"). list(); for (int i = 0; i < department. List. size(); i++) { department = (Department) department. List. get(i); System. out. println("Row " + (i + 1) + "> " + department. get. Name() + " (" + department. get. Department. Code() + ")"); }. . . session. Factory. close(); © Visual Patterns, Inc. 60

Other Hibernate Features • Saving (save, merge, save. Or. Update) session. save. Or. Update(timesheet) • Deleting records session. delete(Object), or session. create. Query("DELETE from Timesheet") • Queries using Criteria interface (more OO and typesafe) List timesheet. List = session. create. Criteria(Timesheet. class). add(Restrictions. eq("employee. Id", employee. Id)). list(); Related classes: Restrictions, Order, Junction, Distinct, and others • Locking Objects (Concurrency Control) • Lots More Hibernate (associtions, annotations, filters, interceptors, scrollable iterations, native SQL, transaction management, etc. ) © Visual Patterns, Inc. 61

C Concepts: Beans, Bean. Factory, Application. Context… © Visual Patterns, Inc. 67

Benefits of Using Spring • Light weight Inversion of Control (Io. C) container • Excellent support for POJOs (e. g. declarative transaction management) • Modular – not an all-or-nothing approach • Testing – dependency injection and POJOs makes for easier testing • Many others No Singletons Builds on top of existing technologies (e. g. JEE, Hibernate) Robust MVC web framework Consistent database exception hierarchy (e. g. wrap SQLException) © Visual Patterns, Inc. 68

Where Spring Framework Fits Into Our Architecture Optional Hibernate integration © Visual Patterns, Inc. 69

Quick Poll Which web framework do you use? © Visual Patterns, Inc. 70

Spring Web MVC • Easier testing – mock classes, dependency injection • Bind directly to business objects • Clear separation of roles – validators, adaptable controllers, command (form) object, etc. • Simple but powerful tag libraries • Support for various view technologies and web frameworks (e. g. Struts, webwork, tapestry, JSF) © Visual Patterns, Inc. 71
