Project1, Notes

• If you are eligable for a redo
  • Run the test cases, no difference should be reported.
  • Fix everything I discussed
    • If you don't understand the feedback, come and see me.
  • Put your redo in the Project 1 Redo folder on D2l by next Monday.
• To run the test cases.
  • Log into cslab103
  • Change to the directory that holds your code.
  • At the command prompt type:

    ~dbennett/230/project1/setup 

• This will do the following
  • Get a copy of my makefile
    • If you have a Makefile it will make a backup of it
    • If not,
      • it will copy a Makefile into your directory.
      • You will receive a point deduction.
  • Compile your program with this makefile
    • If this fails, you may receive a 0 on the project, no redo.
    • If it produces errors, you may receive a 0 on the project, no redo.
  • If the program compiles correctly, it will attempt to run your program.
    • If you did not name your file project1 as requested you will receive a point deduction.
  • It will run the default case. If this does not work, you will receive a 0, (but you may redo)
  • It will run a test case where the configuration file name is given incorrectly several times. If it fails to run you will receive
  • It will test the case where the configuration file is empty.
  • It will preform several tests where the method to compute is bad.
  • It will test for empty/invalid data file names.
  • It will perform several data tests with various number of assignments, and various course components.
• A good test case will look like this

  CASE: Default case
      This is the base case from the assignment.
      If your program fails on this, it should not have been graded.
      CASE BEGINS
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

• A test case with errors will look like this.

  CASE: Bad input file name.
      This case will test for input file name correctness.
      CASE BEGINS
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2c2
  < Error! could not open FileThatDoesNotExist.
  ---
  < Error, could not open FileThatDoesNotExist.
  4c4
  < Error! could not open A_Second_File_That_Does_Not_Exist.
  ---
  < Error, could not open A_Second_File_That_Does_Not_Exist.
  6c6
  < Error! could not open badFile.dat.
  ---
  < Error, could not open badFile.dat.
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

  • In the case, the program failed to produce the correct error message. The student's program (indicated by lines with <) printed Error! while the specification (indicated by lines with >) requested Error.
