Sprint 3 Retrospective

https://gitlab.com/LibreFoodPantry/client-solutions/theas-pantry/reportingsystem

Here is the Link to the repositories that contains everything we worked on Sprint-3. Backend, Frontend, Event system, and Keycloak.

Connect RabbitMQ receive file to DB: Connected the MongoDB database on the received file.

Implement Event System components: Implemented RabbitMq components for Event System.

Meet with other Event System Teams.: Met with other teams to finalize everything about messages.

New TheasPantryReport: The new Theas Pantry Report

Create two channels for both teams: Created two channels for both teams on the send and receive files.

 

For this Sprint, I worked mainly with Austin on the backend components such as implanting the rabbbitMQ, making API, and trying to get out system working.

What worked well / did not work well

For this sprint, what worked best was that we got our reporting system functioning. We have a system where the Rabbitmq receives the message from the queue and saves it in a database. From there the backend takes the data and converts it into a CSV so when the Frontend requests for a report the backend can send that CSV file to the user. One of the key things that I noticed that our group works well under pressure. We are always calm and composed. I don’t think there is something that did not work well, however, we should have managed our time wisely since the end of the semester was filled with many assignments.

What changes could be made to improve as a team?

As a team, this was our final sprint for the semester. In the future, if we work on this, I think it Is important to use the time wisely as we were up on zoom every night to make little progress towards the project. Also, whenever we had a question, we should have posted more on the issue board or could have asked the professor for more help but as a team, I’m so proud and happy with the way everything turned out towards the end.

 What changes could be made to improve as an Individual?

As an Individual, I should be communicating with my team more rather than just doing the issues that are assigned to me. I should try to manage my time wisely too. The end of the semester was a struggle since there were exams and projects from every class. I believe that we could have made our system more efficient and functional, but it turns out to be what I imagined from the starting. Working together as a team doing one task at a time was efficient for me and as a group.

Overall, this was a great learning experience. I will never forget this class or the reporting team. It was a pleasure working with amazing teammates who pushed me to move forward whenever I was struggling on an issue. I hope that the experience I got from the capstone will be a highlight for my future career in the field of technology. I wish all of you the best of luck and congrats on your graduation. Hopefully one day we can look back and enjoy these moments.

REST API Design

This week on my CS Journey I want to focus on REST API Design. In my last blog, I talked about how an API request works and how to be able to read the API documentation and use it effectively. In this blog, I will be emphasizing briefly the key constraints to REST API design. There are six important constraints to the design. Which are: Client-Server, Stateless, Cache, Uniform Interface, Layered System, and Code on Demand. Together, these make up the theory of REST. Starting with client-server constraint is the concept that the client and the server should be separate from each other and allowed to evolve individually and independently. In other words, a developer should be able to make changes to an application whether on the data structure or the database design side at the same time it is not impacting the client server side. Next REST APIs are stateless, meaning that calls can be made independently, and each call contains all the data necessary to complete itself successfully. ...

Blog Post #1 JUnit 5 Testing

In class, we have been learning about testing with Junit 5 and doing assignments related to it. After watching the video for the advanced part of the assignment,  I decided that I wanted to research further into the topic for my first blog post. So, what is Junit? In a short answer, JUnit is a Java open sources unit testing framework that is used to write and run repeatable automated tests. JUnit 5 Is the updated version of the highly popular testing library that is Junit 4 which I’m sure you all have heard of it. Junit 5 was released in 2017 that adds good use for Java 8 features. In fact, JUnit 5 requires Java 8 JDK or higher to work. While researching a few of the key differences between the two versions are Junit 5 is composed of 3 sub-projects JUnit Platform, JUnit Jupiter, and JUnit Vintage. The Assertions and Annotations have been changed, and most importantly Junit 5 adds the support of the lambda expression in which we went over in class. One of the blogs I read recommen...

Testing with Mockito

During class, we have been doing many testing methods including Junit 5 and for the past two weeks we have been using Mockito, so for today’s blog, I want to focus more on the framework and testing with Mockito. Before we get started let us talk about what is mocking. Mocking is a process of developing the objects that act as the mock or clone of the real objects. In another word, mocking is a technique where mock objects are used instead of real objects. The purpose is to isolate and focus on the code being tested. Mock uses objects such as Fakes, Stubs, and mocks. A fake object has working implementation but takes shortcuts which makes them not suitable for production. Stub object usually does not respond to anything outside that is programmed in for the test. Mocks are objects that are preprogrammed with expectations which form a specification of the call that is called to receive. Now let us move on to what Mockito is, Mockito is a java based mocking framework ...
