Hi Arran, With the project due in three days, I was just wondering when the testing area for Q8 the junit tests will be available? Callum

Hi Arran, Question with the submission, i notice there is a time limit of 40 mins, dose that mean I only have one shot or one opportunity to submit all my answer for the project within 40 minute? Thanks.

Hi all, The project submission area is available on Moodle it's labelled "Project final submission". I hope to also have a Java code test in the testing sandbox, shortly. Cheers Aran

Hi, were there any updates on the testing area for Q8? Thanks

This should now be corrected. It looks like for one specific question, the incorrect option was recorded in Moodle as being worth "-100 ", when it should've been recorded as being worth "0". Cheers Arran

That looks correct to me. "RACC" is a type of coverage used for logic-based testing, so it cannot apply to ISP. Possible levels of choice for ISP include "base choice", "all combinations". (There are also a few other ISP coverage levels mentioned in ...

Hi arran, May I know how is the average mark in this mid-semester test? Cheers

Hi Arran, For the long answer question part 3, I received the comment "3) reasoning very weak, shows poor understanding. It's impossible to have "ISP testing with RACC coverage". 0 5" I was under the impression that ISP could subsume RACC coverage if t...

Yes, that's correct. cheers Arran ANONYMOUS wrote

Gihad might be using the term "partition" loosely, in the sense of "a partitioning". So a partitioning of some domain X might give us two (or more) partitions.

Hi Arran, For the updated project spec, should question 8 implement two test cases since question 7 has been changed? Currently it still says "which contains Te t m t o s w i h i p e e t t e t r e t s a e o e c i e n q e t o . Thanks.

Thanks Arran, that helps thank you.

Ok that does make sense thank you. Just another question, wouldn't two partitions make sense here (I'm not sure how much detail I am allowed to disclose)?

Thanks, you are correct. Rather than make a further correction, I'll have to rely on people using their judgement to work out which previous question is being referred to. cheers Arran ANONYMOUS wrote

Hi Gihad, Yes, if we're testing some method (or constructor) myMethod that takes in some reference type MyClass , then we can assume that any instances of MyClass are validly constructed if they aren't, then either there's a bug in the const...

In cases where a class consists of "plain old data" (https en.wikipedia.org wiki Passive data structure) i.e., the class doesn't do any significant abstraction or information hiding then partitioning up a parameter of that class will amoun...

Hi Abhinav, That's definitely an error questions shouldn't have negative marks. I don't know which question "question 22" is every student gets questions in a different order, and in fact a slightly different selection of questions but if ...

Hi Arran, I know this is pretty quick but while I was having a look through the mid-sem marking and feedback, one of the questions namely question 22 was marked -2 out of 2. My understanding is that if we get a question wrong we are not awarded the ma...

Hi all, The mid-semester results should be visible on Moodle (with feedback), and should be reflected in csmarks shortly. Cheers Arran

Not OP or Arran but I don't think this kind of partitioning is relevant to testing the LightingCommand constructor specifically. Since the LightingCommand constructor takes Location and LightSource objects as parameters, it is a precondition ...
