I want to run it too.. One member develops a prototype using an IDE Another member wants to run it on his machine Problem – Library paths are relative to original author's machine

We need a build system A build system? – A build system will help you to build your project without machine specific dependencies. – This will make it easy for every team member to build the project & see the results

Maven - Introduction Java based build tool from Apache Software Foundation – Two generations – Maven 1 (maven) – Maven 2 (mvn) Cross Platform

Maven - Introduction More than a build tool – Software project management and comprehension tool – Build, reporting and documentation – Rich set of plugins – Driven by predefined life cycle stages on-to-the-lifecycle.html

Installing Maven Download - Extract to a folder – Eg: c:\tools\maven\2.1.0 Set environment variable M2_HOME=c:\tools\maven\2.1.0 Add %M2_HOME%\bin to PATH variable Open a new command window & type – mvn -v

Creating a project Archtype – archetypes.html – mvn archetype:generate pom.xml – – Repositories – Dependencies – Plugins

Similar tools Apache Ant make,gnumake, nmake

Testing Important to understand what type of testing needs to be done before selecting a tool Testing approaches – Approach of boxes Black box White box Grey box – Integration Testing – Regression Testing – Acceptance Testing – Non Functional Testing – Destructive Testing Testing_methods

Testing automation tools Junit - JMeter - Selenium -

Similar tools xUnit (nUnit,JUnit,DBUnit) Apache Bench

I changed the implementation... Now every team member has a running copy of the project Some have found issues in existing implementation & fixed those Some have added new features How to synchronise all of these changes? How to track these changes?

Source Code Management (SCM) Also known as, – Revision control – Version control Version Control System (VCS) Management of changes to documents Each change is associated with – revision number – timestamp – User Revision can be compared,restored, merged

Subversion (SVN) Free/Open-source version control system Central repository of files – Records every change done to a file checkout – getting files from server – svn:// /bsc10/cs3030/scratch – Username – your surname – Password – index number

Subversion (SVN) add/delete – mark files for addition/deletion check-in/commit – putting files to server update – get latest version merge – local changes & changes coming from server can be merged conflict – merge failed, overlapping changes blame/praise – find who made the change diff – find the differences

Subversion – demo Installing Subversion – not covered – Client side – Command line client – GUI client Windows File Explorer - IDE plug-ins – subclipse (for Eclipse) - – Intellij IDEA plug-in – ankhsvn (for Visual Studio) - – Net Beans -

Similar tools git - CVS (Concurrent Version System) – Project home - – Installation Guides (Windows) CVSNT (*inx) e_management/unix_cvs/PROGRAMMING_Installing_CVS.s html

Similar tools (commercial) Rational ClearCase ( 01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearcase ) Borland StarTeam ( ) Microsoft Visual SourceSafe ( )

Continuous Integration (CI) Developers commit changes to VCS CI Server automatically picks changes & initiate build Faster feedback to your development process preventing bugs from piling up Generate statistics Provides more visibility

Continuous Integration Popular tools – Hudson Demo on installation & configuring a project to build automatically In action : – Bamboo – Cruise Control

Issue Tracking Systems Jira Bugzilla

JIRA Creating account Creating issues Assigning issues Commenting Worklog Subtask Resolving Dependency Administration
