Results of the initial Plan!

Complete Umple model Develop 3 Instances Only 2 done Extend Requirements

Neural Network for Smart Arrival Time Prediction

Optimized shortest route finding

Collaboration with EzFare – Out of the blue!Collaboration with EzFare – Out of the blue!

14

Cause - A Bumpy Ride!

• Bugging Umple Experience• Umple Modeling gave us a a LOT of ready to go code• Lack of communication from team members• Lack of performance on time• Overloaded Team members• Database crash• No Umple enhancements from Customer

15

• Medium:• Mostly Skype• Local members met regularly, many sleepless

nights• Sometimes Ggroup• Electronic mail• International SMS (4 in all)

• When:• When needed (mostly weekly)• At least 1 day notification

Communication – Hello, you there?

16

• Work Division was done fairly• Synchronization was successful!

• When work was submitted!

• Late and Unusable Results• Untimely revelation of lack of knowledge• Slow learning curve

• Lack of enthusiasm to achieve expected quality• Repetition of sloppy work!

Who? What? How?

17

• Extraaa hours by some members were needed to complete work

• Next time:• Mutually Evaluate and reevaluate all team

members• Motivate and Peer Pressurize for faster

learning

So finally!

18

• Few team members – LEARN• Few team members – CODE• Few team members – SLEEP

What did we do less?

Solid Content - • Core Entities –

• Entity classes• Repositories for entities• Manager classes for restricted access

• Schedule Management• Part of Schedule Management

• Passenger Assistance• Schedule Manager & RealTime Manager

19

Solid Content (contd.)• Vehicle Management

• Vehicle Manager & RealTime Manager

• Optimized Route Finding• RealTime Manager & Directed Graphs

• Arrival Time Prediction• Neural Networks

• DAL• Includes Information exchange with EzFare

20

Solid Content (contd.)

21

Blockbuster!• Passenger Assistance gives a commercial

boost• Implemented not required optimization

algorithm

• Arrival Time Prediction• Connected the …. Working with EzFare To a wider Complete Solution

22

Pressing points!• Some ignored best practices:

• How to do it!• Do it in interface• Validate it in entity• Automatically persist• Success

• What we are doing ..• Do it in interface• Try persisting• If works, success• Else => Validation issue

23

Pressing points! (Contd.)• Some more ignored best practices:

• Class abstraction• Generics• No Multiple Interface Implementation

• Seemingly Interface Inheritance

• Exception Handling

24

Decide!• Factory Pattern• Repository Pattern• Singleton Pattern• Impossibility of Observer Pattern

25

Takeaway …• A Life experience & friends• Understanding the hardships of Distributed

Development• Concerns of a Product Line• Multicultural environment• Java Experience• Object Oriented Decision making• Another weapon in the Arsenal - Umple
