CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2025

Week 11 Class 21 Thu Nov 06 Posted: Nov 06

Announcements

• Office Hours Regular hours today 10:30 - 11:30 am and 3:15 - 4:15 pm
• Project 3: Code Analysis TDD Change in due date number of rules

• Exercise 45: Project 3 Feedback 2 Check for two rules implemented.

  Unlike Exercise 43: Project 3 Feedback 1, you receive 10/10 if their is evidence of the correct number of rules implemented so far. We did not check for proper commit message, proper code style, formatting, etc. Please review all requirements and compare your code to the existing code.

  Overall observations:

  • if-statements that do not follow the coding style
  • Violations of the one call to addAttribute() per attribute, e.g., only one call to addAttribute("filename", /* ... */).
  • Number of if-statements more than the number of rules
  • Unnecessary else's
  • Inconsistent identation that does not follow the coding style

Class

• Exercise 46: Git Commit Messages Crossword
• HFSD Chapter 9
• Exercise 47: HFSD Chapter 9 Crossword
• Notes: Refactoring

• Exercise 48: Team Mock Clock III

  In this course, we try to balance two goals: helping you learn the concepts clearly and giving you experience with how real software development is done. In this exercise, some parts are designed to feel closer to real-world practice:

  • Instead of being told exactly what change to make, the required change is written up as an issue—just like it would be in a real project.
  • Your commit messages do not include which approach you are using (dip or mock); they focus only on the change itself.
  • The updates to the CMake build system are provided as a pull request, and you review and work with it like you would on a real team.

  Other parts of the exercise are included mainly for learning purposes:

  • You use two separate branches (dip and mock) to explore different approaches. In an actual project, you would pick one of these approaches and use it on a single branck that is not named after the approach.
  • In real development, you would create a feature branch for the issue and submit a pull request to merge your work into main. For the exercise, the structure is simplified so you can focus on the concepts.

Unless stated otherwise, all exercises are due by 3 pm on Fri Nov 07
