<h3 class=nocount>Purpose</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The goal of this semester-long project is to give you a thorough understanding and appreciation for building a large software system within a team.
|
||
Throughout the semester, you will be faced with many decisions - many of which have no "right" answer, just consequences for your work later on.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<section id=Ex-Summary>
|
||
<h3>Project Goals</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The primary goal of this project is to show how the individualized act of programming can be transformed into a large product maintained by a team of engineers.
|
||
We'll walk you through the whole software development life cycle, which means looking deeper at each step.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
That said, you'll also learn a lot of web development along the way. There's no better way to learn something than to practice it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We're asking you to work with some industrial-strength web application frameworks. We believe that this will give you a very valuable experience as a full-stack developer using tools and technologies that you are likely to experience in a professional environment.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Think of the technical documentation as another one of your textbooks.
|
||
For example, the Spring guides and the Angular docs.
|
||
These sources will have a lot more information than you need, but you're expected to consult them first whenever you need something.
|
||
Thus, beyond our startup tutorials, we will not hold your hand.
|
||
We will give you broad overviews and wisdom, but the project itself will involve learning on the fly - which is a skill in and of itself.
|
||

<h3>Product Overview</h3>
|
||
<p>Small business owners have a very unique lifestyle.
|
||
They have their craft, and then they have the business of their craft.
|
||
E-commerce has revolutionized peoples' ability to sell their products with ease.
|
||
But every business is different. Different types of products need different types of workflows beyond just inventory and a shopping cart.
|
||
Many small businesses opt for custom software instead of a platform like Etsy or Shopify. That's where we come in.

<h4>MVP Features</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Product Owner desires a minimal viable product (MVP) which includes these features:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
|
||
<li><b>Minimal Authentication for customer/e-store owner login & logout</b></li>
|
||
<ul><li>The server will (admittedly insecurely) trust the browser of who the user is. A simple username to login is all that is minimally required. Assume a user logging in as <b>admin</b> is the e-store owner.
|
||
<li> You are not expected to do full credential and session management, although the system will look different depending on who is logged in.
|
||
Obviously this isn't how things are done in real life, but let's sidestep that complexity for this class.</ul>
|
||
<li><b>Customer functionality</b></li>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Customer can see list of products</li>
|
||
<li>Customer can search for a product</li>
|
||
<li>Customer can add/remove an item to their shopping cart</li>
|
||
<li>Customer can proceed to check out their items for purchase</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li><b>Inventory Management</b></li>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>E-Store owners can add, remove and edit the data on the inventory</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li><b>Data Persistence</b></li>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your system must save everything to files such that the next user will see a change in the inventory based on the previous user's actions. So if a customer had something in their shopping cart and logged out, they should see the same items in their cart when they log back in.</li>
|
||
<li>Ordinarily, we would want to use a database for this - but this semester our system will not reach a complexity that requires a database. You learned basic file I/O in your programming courses, so utilize what you know from there.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li><b>Your 10% feature enchantment(s)</b></li>
|
||
<ul><li>Your team will propose this to your instructor by <u>end of Sprint 1</u>, and then build it into your product throughout the semester. See below for more details.</ul>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<blockquote class=warning style=width:50%>
|
||
<p><strong><u>NOTE:</u></strong> The Product Owner reserves full control over the details of operation
|
||
for MVP. This Vision Document includes no
|
||
details of the e-store. It is the responsibility of the team to collaborate with the Product
|
||
Owner to obtain an understanding of those details. The team does not have the prerogative to
|
||
define the details of operation or user interface experience without consulting with the Product Owner</p>
|
||
<p>Any time that the team asks itself the question, "How should X operate?" where X is some aspect of the e-store, and the team itself can not answer that question, they <strong>must</strong> ask the Product Owner.
|
||
The best place to do that is in the<em> Questions for the Product Owner</em> discussion forum under <em>Projects</em> in the myCourses Discussion area.</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>You will need to choose your small business. Think of a culture, a person, a location, a business, and a custom workflow. Good examples of small businesses for this project:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>A Canadian blacksmith who makes small runs of hatchets, each one handmade and numbered but part of small production runs with pre-ordering.</li>
|
||
<li>A Vermont goat farmer who makes cheese, and the milk is kept separate so that each cheese is based on a different goat from the farm and has unique characteristics</li>
|
||
<li>A Rochester parkour gym that sells classes and books times to use the gym.</li>
|
||
<li>A New Jersey boardwalk confectionary that allows you to create your own "candy bouquets", which are arrangements of various candy into a single gift basket.</li>
|
||
<li>A family-owned bellmaking foundry business based out of Troy, NY that allows you to order custom bells with a price estimator, as well as track the progress of the build</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p></p>
|
||
<p>These are examples of <b><u>bad choices:</u></b></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>An Etsy clone. <i>Too big.</i></li>
|
||
<li>A web development contractor service. <i>Too meta.</i></li>
|
||
<li>General-purpose e-commerce shop for any set of items. <i>Not unique enough.</i></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|

<div id=10p_feature>
|
||
<h4>Your 10% feature enhancement(s)</h4>
|
||
<p>Your 10% feature enhancement(s) needs to be complex enough to be useful to a business. The feature enhancement(s) need to reflect a custom workflow. Using the examples above:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>In the Canadian Blacksmith scenario, the concept of a production run and pre-orders needs to be represented in your data. A "Hudson Bay Axe" might have 100 different individual axes that are marked, but are still one product.</li>
|
||
<li>In the Vermont goat farmer scenario, inventory management would need to be more complex to be able to track cheese in various stages of production.</li>
|
||
<li>In the Rochester parkour gym scenario, the product is classes with enrollments and date handling.</li>
|
||
<li>In the New Jersey boardwalk scenario, the concept of a customizable "bouquet" needs to be part of the buyer experience, so that you could make multiple bouquets to be delivered to multiple recipients, but still be part of one purchase</li>
|
||
<li>In the bellmaking scenario, the price estimator would give many bellmaking-specific options, and the tracking page would be integrated with the receipts feature.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>Here are some examples of <b><u>bad 10% feature enhancement(s):</u></b></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your business has custom engraving, so you just add a text field to purchases - <i>Too simple</i>. This is better: add the concept of messaging with the owner on the product so they can talk back and forth with instructions and clarifications.</li>
|
||
<li>Users can design their own drawing - <i>Too front-end complex and doesn't divide easily between teammates.</i> This is better: users can choose from existing designs and combine them together.</li>

<h3>Architecture</h3>
|
||
<p>Teams will use the following technologies for development of the e-store</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><a target=_blank href=https://spring.io/>Java Spring</a> for your server back-end framework</li>
|
||
<li><a target=_blank href=https://angular.io/>Angular</a> for your browser front-end experience</li>
|
||
<li>Check the <a target=_blank href=https://www.se.rit.edu/~swen-261/resources/resources.html>Course Resources</a> for additional details</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Since many of the lectures touch upon these technologies,There will be <b><u>no deviations</u></b> from this technology stack.
|
||
You are welcome to add dependencies to your application with the approval of the Product Owner.
|
||
This decision is one that the team unanimously must agree upon.

<h3>Process</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The team will use the <a href=http://www.utm.mx/~caff/doc/OpenUPWeb/>OpenUP methodology</a> for strategic planning activities across the life span of the
|
||
project. The team will use the <a href=https://www.scrumalliance.org/>Scrum process</a> for tactical day-to-day operations.
