Use the Source Luke – Apprenticeship Pattern
In this post I will be discussing the apprenticeship pattern, “Use the Source” written by Adewale Oshineye and Dave Hoover in the book Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman, 2009. This pattern is for people who have not developed in environments that have stressed the importance of the ability to read source code.…
The Deep End – Apprenticeship Pattern
In this post, I will be writing about “The Deep End” apprenticeship pattern from the book Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman by Adewale Oshineye and Dave Hoover, 2009. This apprenticeship pattern is for software craftsmen who feel that they need more experience and need to be challenged by complex problems and bigger…
Breakable Toys – Apprenticeship Pattern
The “Breakable Toys” apprenticeship pattern, written by Adewale Oshineye and Dave Hoover in the book Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman, 2009, is about creating projects on your own in order to learn from them. Experience is more often built through failure than success. Sometimes, in the workplace, it is not acceptable to…
Sprint Retrospective 3 – Thea’s Food Pantry
The third sprint went fairly well. For the third sprint I did most of the backend with Faraaz, from the get request endpoint to the response that returns the CSV report. To do this we first created the endpoint which gets two query strings from the request: start and end date for which we use…
Sprint Retrospective 2 – Thea’s Food Pantry
The second sprint definitely improved from the first sprint. In this sprint we mostly worked on the Message Queue, sending and receiving JSON data and then inserting it into a local MongoDB database. We did this with RabbitMQ and the ampqlib Node.js package. To do this we first created sample JSON objects then stringified these…
Automated Testing
Automated testing is a great option for repetitive tests such as regression and functional testing but not useable for testing methods such as discovery and usability testing that requires a human to do the work. If used correctly, automated testing can save a lot of time and therefore money. If used incorrectly, it could end…
Code Reviews
Code reviews are one of the most productive components of software testing. What is code review? Code review is the processes of systematically checking a fellow programmer’s code for errors to prevent bugs and identify potential trouble spots such as scalability issues and buffer overflows. Not only do code reviews save time and money in…
Sprint Retrospective 1 – Thea’s Food Pantry
The first sprint for the Libre Food Pantry software went very well for the most part. Since it was a spike sprint, it was mostly looking up tutorials, making sample projects, and brainstorming ideas. My main role for this project is to create the backend of the reporting system, using a sever to take JSON…
Grey Box Testing
Black and white box testing are the testing methods you usually hear about, but what is grey box testing? You probably have done a sort of grey box testing multiple times before learning other structured testing methods. While in black box testing the code structure is known and in white box testing the structure is…
Rubbing Elbows-Apprenticeship Pattern
In this post, I will be writing about the “Rubbing Elbows” apprenticeship pattern from the book Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman by Adewale Oshineye and Dave Hoover, 2009. This pattern is for people who typically work alone when it comes to developing software and feel as if they had reached a plateau,…
