    Grading

    Points are for following the notation and hints in pages 173-219. In early iterations most documents will need revision as the project proceeds.

    Hint: KISS

     Keep It Simple!

    Standard Definitions

  1. CS202::= See http://cse.csusb.edu/dick/cs202/.
  2. CS372::= See http://cse.csusb.edu/dick/cs372/.

  3. DCD::diagram="Design Class Diagram", shows the classes that will be implemented in code.
  4. DRY::XP="Don't Repeat Yourself".

  5. ESSUP::Process= See http://www.ivarjacobson.com/essup.cfm, Ivar Jacobsen simplified "Essential" UP.

  6. Glossary::= See http://cse.csusb.edu/dick/cs375/uml.glossary.html.
  7. GoF::="Gang of Four", [ patterns.html#GoF ]
  8. GRASP::patterns="General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns", a set of guidelines for designing objects and classes. They take a single event that the system must handle and determine a good class to carry it out. See [ patterns.html#GRASP -- General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns ]
  9. Grades::= See http://cse.csusb.edu/dick/cs375/grading/.

  10. KISS::Folk_law="Keep It Simple, Stupid", in agile processes this means never drawing a diagram or preparing a document that doesn't provide value to the clients and stakeholders. In all processes it means never designing or coding what is not needed, see YAGNI.

  11. OO::shorthand="Object-Oriented".

  12. OOAD::="Object-Oriented Analysis and Design", See chapter 1 in text.
  13. patterns::="Documented families of problems and matching solutions", see Patterns.
  14. Patterns::= See http://cse.csusb.edu/dick/cs375/patterns.html.

  15. Process::="How to develop software".

  16. RJB::=The author of this document, RJB="Richard J Botting, Comp Sci Dept, CSUSB".
  17. RUP::Process="Rational UP", a proprietary version of UP.

  18. SSD::="System Sequence Diagrams", see chapter 10.

  19. TBA::="To Be Announced".

  20. UML::="Unified Modeling Language". [ Unified_Modeling_Language ]

  21. UP::="Unified Process", an iterative, risk-driven, and evolutionary way to develop OO software.

  22. YAGNI::XP="You Ain't Gonna Need It", an XP slogan that stops you planning and coding for things that are not yet needed. As a rule the future is not predictable enough to program a feature until the stakeholders actually need it now. In this class it means "It won't be on the final or in quizzes".

  23. XP::="Extreme Programming", the ultimate iterative code-centric, user-involved process.
