Questions asked during Week 12 lecture

[okkhoy]

Q: What if the tester comes up with "fake/inaccurate" bugs as he/she does not read the user guide properly?
A: You can reject such bugs in the response phase.

Q: need to release jar for 1.4 on github as well? or just tag will do?
A: Yes you need to release the JAR on github along with the tag.

Q: do we need to put the AY1920S1 in the TEAM_ID?
A: NO. Please follow the format e.g. [CS2113T-F10-3][ContactsPlus].jar

Q: updated ui.png but it is not reflected on project list?
A: Please ensure the case matches the instructions. The project list is generated using scripts, so the format it "knows" is fixed.

Q: when can we remove the repo from github? after we get the results before the start of next sem?
A: If there is no reason, no need to remove it at all!!

Q: v2.0 milestone need to be created for use cases / user stories that we are not doing by 1.4?
A: If you have issues/user stories not completed by v1.4, create a v2 and assign them

Q: Do we need these sections in DG? Documentation, DevOps, Testing (Another one, different from appendix) https://se-education.org/addressbook-level4/DeveloperGuide.html
A: No, no need to add these sections. The sample DG is given as a reference. BTW, you should be looking at https://github.com/nusCS2113-AY1920S1/addressbook-level3/blob/master/docs/DeveloperGuide.adoc not se-edu/AB4

Q: can we put data folder and jar and zip it up and submit?
Q: can we submit zip file to include data file? or ask them to download?
A: Make your JAR generate the data on the first run. I mentioned 2 ways to do that. You submit only JAR file, no other formats. Asking testers to download data is not allowed.

Q: so 1.4 testing must have data? not clean jar file?
A: Yes v1.4 testing must have data (Think about it as passing the product to the testing team, you need to give data as well; if not testing team will have to populate the data. Now in CS2113, considering testing happens only for 60 min, it doesn't make sense to spend 20-30 min to populate the data.

Q: we wrote our instructions for manual test assuming from a clean slate... can we submit a .jar for 1.4 with no data? e.g. start from scratch
A: Modify according to "JAR with data"; you may provide instructions to view/load data if it is not shown by default.

Q: Does it mean that if I finish paper 1 eariler, I will have more time (>1h30min) for paper 2?
A: Yes, if you finish paper 1 earlier, you can use the remaining time to answer part 2

Q: what if we suspect people are copying our ug dg style of writing?
A: We are not against reuse as long as sources that are shared via permissible licenses and are attributed appropriately,(in case of libraries, permission sought), but if the source is not attributed, then it is a violation of code of conduct. The same applies here as well. You cannot reuse copyrighted material.
