Tasks

Choice 1.

I have created programming exercises. You have to create a github repository and upload your code there. I'll evaluate the functionality, your coding style, accordance to the coding standards and code coverage by unit tests.

Exercise 1:

Finish the string calculator code.

1. Create a simple String calculator with a method signature:

int Add(string numbers)

2. The method can take up to two numbers, separated by commas, and will return their sum.

for example “” or “1” or “1,2” as inputs. (for an empty string it will return 0)

Hints:

Start with the simplest test case of an empty string and move to one and two numbers
Remember to solve things as simply as possible so that you force yourself to write tests you did not think about
Remember to refactor after each passing test

3. Allow the Add method to handle an unknown amount of numbers
4. Allow the Add method to handle new lines between numbers (instead of commas).

the following input is ok: “1\n2,3” (will equal 6) the following input is NOT ok: “1,\n” (not need to prove it - just clarifying)

5. Support different delimiters
* to change a delimiter, the beginning of the string will contain a separate line that looks like this: “//[delimiter]\n[numbers…]” for example “//;\n1;2” should return three where the default delimiter is ‘;’ .
* the first line is optional. all existing scenarios should still be supported
* Calling Add with a negative number will throw an exception “negatives not allowed” - and the negative that was passed. 
* if there are multiple negatives, show all of them in the exception message.

STOP HERE if you are a beginner. Continue if you can finish the steps so far in less than 30 minutes.

6. Numbers bigger than 1000 should be ignored, so adding 2 + 1001 = 2
7. Delimiters can be of any length with the following format: “//[delimiter]\n” for example: “//[***]\n1***2***3” should return 6

————————————————————————————————

8. Allow multiple delimiters like this:

“[delim1][delim2]\n” for example “[*][%]\n1*2%3” should return 6.

9. make sure you can also handle multiple delimiters with length longer than one char

Exercise 2:

Add Logging Abilities to your new String Calculator (to an ILogger.Write()) interface (you will need a mock).
Every time you call Add(), the sum result will be logged to the logger.
When calling Add() and the logger throws an exception, the string calculator should notify an IWebservice of some kind that logging has failed with the message from the logger’s exception (you will need a mock and a stub).

Exercise 3:

Create a Password verifications class called “PasswordVerifier”.

Add the following verifications to a master function called “Verify()”

password should be larger than 8 chars
password should not be null
password should have one uppercase letter at least
password should have one lowercase letter at least
password should have one number at least

Each one of these should throw an exception with a different message of your choosing

Add feature: Password is OK if at least three of the previous conditions is true
Add feature: password is never OK if item “should have one lowercase letter at least” is not true.
Assume Each verification takes 1 second to complete. How would you solve that tests can run faster?

Exercise 4:

A measuring machine measures certain parameters of a workpiece and creates a pdf report file. That pdf file will be sent to customers. Customer want to be sure that the pdf file is valid in other words it was generated by the software at the specified time and no one manipulated the file. So that pdf file has to be digitally signed.

For the exercises use a coding standard like https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html or http://tinyurl.com/pmz4xc5 You have to create unit tests.

Choice 2.

Write an essay. The essay must be unpublished, original work. I offer 4 topics - you need to select only one

Service Level Agreement in software maintenance
Quality assurance for machine learning
Visual testing - hint https://applitools.com/blog/visual-testing
Smart contracts in automotive industry

Formal requirements at: https://icessd.uni-miskolc.hu/content/7/7_2.docx. The essay must be more than 5 pages long

Deadlines:

Please decide whether you want to write an essay or implement the coding excercises. Put your choice to the shared document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xkIua-5uW5hOQ_B88uXlhsD6i9OL2KOa3nPV4WleU9k/edit?usp=sharing

All the exercises and essays must be finished by 19:00 6th May 2020.
Deadline can be extended by your request, but final deadline is 19:00 13th May 2020.
