Idea

This Project Management Tool for GitHub is currently under development and the main idea is the following:

• Instead of managing 1000 issues as labeled list items you arrange them in a second dimension, in a table.
• One way to arrange the tables are typical story mapping boards, aka feature table.
• This second dimension not only adds overview, but it also reduces the amount of issues to compare at a certain pint in time.
• Drag’n’Drop eases managing issues even further.

Features

Easy Project Management • Drag’n’Drop to edit Issues • Hierarchic Issues • Issue Dependencies • Visualize your whole project instead of single issues • free for public Projects • No information gets lost, because it’s stored directly in GitHub.

Currently I’m working on the project alone.

Idea

Testing Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) is done very differently in commercial and academic environments. In commercial environments GUIs are tested with the simple and convenient Capture and Replay method. Academically developed GUI test methods use powerful but inconvenient model based approaches on the other hand.

My approach combines both methods to a convenient but powerful GUI testing method. The basic idea is the following:

1. The user executes example sequences on a GUI
2. A Model of the GUI is Generated
3. Test Sequences on the Model are Automatically generated
4. The Test Sequences are automatically executed on the GUI

The GUI Models stay compact and clear because they use hierarchies and orthogonality.

A systematic combinatorial approach generates the Test Sequences. This keeps the sequences complete but lean.

Features

Convenient but Powerful GUI-Testing • Capture-&-Replay Approach • Model Based • Systematic Test Sequence Generation • Automatic Model Generation • User Friendly GUI Models • Complete but Compact Test-Sequences • Test Arbitrary GUIs

Prototype

As part of my final thesis I also developed a prototype. The prototype is a Plugin for the commercial testing tool TESTONA. You can see it in action here:

Technologies & Methodologies

Context

This was a self organized project as an employee in the Berner & Mattner enterprise.

To realize this project I worked together with many other teams. I modified and integrated parts of their work into my GUI Testing Tool.

Details

I released a scientific paper   as part of this project. I also released the final thesis  and the final presentation  (in german).

Context

This project is currently under development. A multiplayer Asteroids game isn’t that exciting by itself, but we use it as a case study for experimenting. Our experiments include:

• GitHub best practices
• browser-to-browser communication with WebRTC
• Best practices for structuring TypeScript projects
• Automated Testing of TypeScript projects
• Exaggerated use of the Law of Demeter to minimize the coupling and maximize the scalability
• Automated Builds and Continious Integration for TypeScript projects

Features

Asteroid Game • Realtime Multiplayer Action • No Server Required • Browser and Mobile

Technologies

• Languages: TypeScript • html5 (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) • UML • JSON
• Web Libraries: WebRTC • phaser • peerJS • requireJS
• Automated Builds: tsd • yo • yeoman • npm • grunt • bower
• Automated Testing: Karma • TeddyMocks • Custom Framework • mocha • chai
• Continuous Integration: GitHub • Travis CI
• IDE: Eclipse
