Tuesday, March 14

Official name for teaching method is "Dual Delivery Class".

Questions: How did Thursday go?

How does one test when the code is not ready? How does one stick to a schedule when the code developers do not deliver on time?

Answer: Do the testing one can and report partial results.

Problems in communication: make the expectations explicit to the developers.

Communication is facilitated by frequent contact with the developers.

NOTE: This whole "teaming" of two classes is a big experiment. They need to be given at the same time!!!

Big management problem: Motivating people to achieve. What to do with underachievers?

Fulltime managers are needed. Management is not a sideline for fulltime programmers.

Lesson from Thursday: Have some sort of test plan, at least a basic strategy.

Idea: Get a guest lecture on testing. Invite an industry person. Ideas include TSYS and AFLAC.

Extra item for the "final exam": After the fact, write a project plan that could have been achieved in a one semester course.
