CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2025

Week 5 Class 10 Thu Sep 25 Posted: Sep 25

After Class

• Career Fair & Class

  I fully support students attending the career fair. The career fair will take place from 10 am to 2 pm. It is 4 hours long, not because students will spend 4 hours attending, but to allow students to fit attendance in between their classes.

  Career fair attendance during class time is not an excused absence.

Announcements:

• Office Hours Regular hours today 10:30 - 11:30 am and 3:15 - 4:15 pm

• Shell Tab Completion Complete the entry of a file, directory, and sometimes options using the tab key when the prefix is unique

  Then hit the tab key to complete the filename.

• Tasks

  • Tasks do not have names as titles. They are numbered.
  • Tasks have a (numbered) title, a description, and an estimate. It is essential in software development to use proper terminology as much as possible.
  • Only estimates obtained by a team consensus using a planning poker process will be put on tasks (just like with user stories).
  • Tasks are not the process a user would go through. They are what the developer would go through. They are different parts of the implementation of the code.
  • Tasks should be brief. For one thing, they need to fit on a post-it note. Secondly, that extra detail does not help; you would never have enough detail.
