CLASS: Objects and Design
TEAM STYLE: 4 Software Engineers
TEAMMATES: Ryan Li, Kiersten Schutz, Jonathan He
TOOLS USED: Java, Android Studio, Software Architecture, UI Flow Diagram, Unit Testing, Domain Model, Github, Context Diagram
BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Creating APP is fun!
Goal
To create an Android game called SpaceTrader that can allow users to create account, adjust user settings, go to different planets, occur random events during the flights, and buy goods.
Getting Started
I would document the setting up and designing of the project based on timeline. The APP development was going on at the concurrent time. You can download the codes here from Github if you would like:
1. First of all we need to set up the project. To brainstorm the events, we individually write user story and draw sequence diagram.

2. Then we created a context diagram for the whole system and 10 user stories with titles only.

3. Next, we brainstormed candidate classes/objects for the domain model.

4. We then created a diagram of software architecture and annotate it with trust boundaries.
Also, we created a UI flow diagram (state diagram) and a set of UI prototype screen drawings representing the planned user interactions. The screen prototypes only included the major screens for the application.
5. Here is a UML class diagram for the complete application design.

6. Upon the end of the project, we conducted code quality and unit testing by each person picking a non-trivial method (one that has loops and/or conditional statements) and tested that method to achieve branch coverage.
