Happy Holiday
Well, made some good progress for a holiday weekend friday. Managed to finish most of the Requirements Analysis for the new Housing Application. I think now the UML will be a little better and easier to accomplish without changing every time I turn around... This was a step that I honestly forgot about and would have saved me some time if I had gone through with it earlier. Would have also made writing the spec that I have now a little easier. Now I have to go back and make the speck a little better by incorporating the new ideas that arose from the Analysis. By thursday I hope to have things up to the point of having proper UML Class, Use Case/Activitiy, and Sequence Diagrams ready for presentation. Have a good Memorial Day weekend.!!!

Fun Day!!!
Well, spent a little time today working on the UML diagrams for th project. Decided to start over with from scratch with a Use Case Diagram, but then moved on to a Class Diagram.
The rest of the day was spent moving to our new office in Hotz. Much bigger and I actually have a REAL desk! This new office is a big step up... I actually have space to spread out! Next I bring in the laptop!!!

I hate slow!
Today was a pretty slow day for me. Spent most of it playing around with UML CASE tools and reading up on JUnit & JMeter. Nothing really tangable though in terms of results. Did play more with MagicDraw. Didn't really like it though... For one, it didn't integrate into the version of NetBeans that we are using. Second, it had a weird interface that was a little more difficult to understand. At the end of the day I ended up going back to testing Visual Paradigm UML since its interface is easy and quick to use.

UML haywire
Well, spent the last few days looking more into UML tools that are available to be used for development here at Housing. I've determined that the program I had liked from the get-go, Visual Paradigm's SDE for NetBeans, is not quite as good as I thought. For some reason the evaluation version that I'm running won't generate all of the java class files for the classes you create in UML... It only generates one of them. Yes, it does create the files, but theyre empty and you don't have a way of changing that. I've been unable to figure out a way around this problem, so I've moved on to testing other options. For the most part though the UML creation capibility of VP-UML is quite nice... Only wish I could test it fully!
The next contender is MagicDraw UML. This too boasts a nice interface to NB, but I wasn't that impressed with it initially. Maybe I'll spend some more time on it tonight and tomorrow. I also need to work on testing. I tried to spend some time today looking at JUnit and JMeter. Will read more tonight. The next meeting is supposed to be scheduled for some time next week. Haven't heard yet on details.
