SE401:33:Iteration 3

Plan

Implement User Stories:

3	User wants to use a data source (e.g. RSS) to create a mashup with Google Maps.	MUST
13	User wants to reposition mashup elements (eg. drag and drop)	MUST

Estimated Duration: 20 hours

Progress

Week 1

Google Map object created

• basic object functions
• started create dialog box

Week 2

Google Map partially completed

• edit dialog box created
• code generation implemented

- however need dummy code for application editor and different code for final webpage

- created a toggle function that swaps code around when document is saved

- toggles between dummy code of a google map screen shot and the JS for a real Google Map object

Completed bug fixes in RSS and Google Map dialog boxes

• blank fields are now checked
• incorrect URL and connection time out checked for RSS

Google Map completed

• code generation working and output is successfully working in Firefox
• automatically computes center of all locations and appropriate zoom level to fit all points
• this saves user having to make map centering and starting zoom decisions
• Fixed 'no feed' code generation errors

Data source side bar improvements

• Added edit and delete buttons at bottom
• Implemented button functionality
• Fixed side bar layout to be durable with window size adjustments

Results

User Stories Completed:

3	User wants to use a data source (e.g. RSS) to create a mashup with Google Maps.	MUST	Completed
13	User wants to reposition mashup elements (eg. drag and drop)	MUST	Impractical (see below)

Could not complete 13:

- Not possible with the base program Kafenio

- Is possible to center/right/left align and cut/paste

- Implementing would mean rewriting huge amounts of Kafenio (impractical)

Actual Duration: 32 hours

• Found bugs etc. from previous iteration that needed fixing

Testing

Testing performed manually

- encountered problems with code generation for mashup object

- needed to edit code when object was editing in sidebar

- implemented code replacement for Google Map objects

- also implemented code replacement for RSS objects (was not a problem but good to have working)

- needed a way to delete object from the sidebar and code

- created buttons for sidebar "Edit" and "Delete"

- implemented code and actionlisteners for these buttons

- manually tested to make sure they were working correctly

- obtained Google Map key to work with our uni hosting

- created multiple Google Map instances and uploaded to our uni hosting site

- checked that all code was correct syntax for Firefox web browser
