Blog Reflection #8: Toy project

   For a while I have been trying to isolate a floor mod method I found within the Firefox code, to test in our project. Instead of spending more time on this, I decided to make up a simple add method, get it to compile, and work with that. I planned on getting it to do all the requirements of deliverable 3.

  I worked with Hannah on most of this. We were able to figure how to print the result of the add method to a text file. We then worked on a script to compare this text file to another text file (toy oracle) that just had an example outcome in it. We then were able to get the results of this compare to print in an html document in a browser. This process was very rewarding!

   We now are trying to see how we can add all of the other requirements to our test case file (information such as testcase #, requirement tested, inputs, and outcome), and have our driver read this and grab our inputs from this text.While we are working on this, Matt will stay working on isolating the "real" method we need to work with.

   I am particularly proud of the work of Hannah, Matt, and myself. Unlike the groups who have already finished deliverable 3, we did not have anybody in our group with prior experience with Linux scripting OR c++. At first, I was doubting whether we could overcome this learning curve in time to turn in this deliverable. NOW I think we can if we stay at it. I am learning ALOT while working on this project! :)
