Project Metrics

The development of all functionalities has been completed. Thus, we have completed the sprint points for the final Sprint 14. However, what is left is the official handover and documentation on our solution.

Release Burndown Chart

DuckyKingReleaseBurndown.JPG

The release burndown shows the state of work burn, during the entire period. However due to the continuous request feature request, additional sprint points are continuously added to the product backlog and the sprints.

Thus, if the features are defined much earlier and clearly, the burndown chart would look like this.

Scrum Sprint Backlogs Chart

As mentioned in the earlier section, all functions has been completed. The reason why Sprint 14 still exist is because of the uncertainty of the milestone dates (Finals) and also to cater time for documentation and handover.

Bus Factor

A project’s bus factor (or truck factor) is a number equal to the number of team members who, if run over by a bus, would put the project in jeopardy. The smallest bus factor is 1. Larger numbers are preferable. In order to increase our project’s bus factor, our team has tried our best to maintain collective code ownership and ensure frequent communication among team members. Our final bus factor is 4.

Production Ready Metrics

Production Ready Metrics is updated after every sprint. The metric also guides the team in sprint planning.

Project Risks

Quality of Product

1. Coding Standards
As with all freelance project, developers often take the path of least resistance and develop applications that are not compliant with industry best practices. This usually takes place because the project manager does not take a hard stance right at the start of the project about the coding standards to use. Even after setting the coding standards, there is usually no one to ensure the adherence to the standards.
This is why we started this project differently. When we first started the project, we decided on the coding standard that we would be adhering to. We decided to follow the AirBnb JavaScript style guide as it is one of the most followed coding style guide. It is followed by the likes of Billabong, Evernote and General Electric, making it the industry standard for coding practices. The AirBnb style guide is being enforced by our Software Architect Kong Yu Jian.
This is to ensure consistent coding styles among the developers. Such as the number of spaces, the use of double quotes, single quotes and backticks. This will allow for greater maintainability of the codes and ensures the code base remain adaptable to changes.


2. Git Workflow
Our team adopts the Git Workflow. The main reason behind it is because it provides a robust framework for managing project of this scale. This is because at any point in time, there may be multiple developers working on different features at the same time. Git Workflow allows multiple feature developments to carried out in parallel.
This workflow is very similar to that of the Feature Branch Workflow. The main difference is that it assigns very specific roles to different branches and defines how and when they should interact with each other. It also uses individual branches for preparing, maintaining, and recording releases.

3. Usage of Adapter Pattern
The middleware has to return responses in appropriate structure so that it is easier for the for the consuming application to extract the relevant information from the request. As described, the middleware has to communicate with other system as such the database and the ethereum node. The data used in the communication is of various format and it is the responsibility of the middleware to ensure that it conforms to the required format when communicating with other subsystems within the FlowNode. As this project is undergoing continuous development, one of the main design consideration is to ensure the design of codes is loosely coupled. One of the approach to resolve this challenge is to use Adapter pattern in designing software components.
Adapter pattern is a software design pattern (Wrapper) that allows the interface of an existing class to be used as another interface. Through adapter pattern, we can encourage a high level of consistency of the response outputs. Furthermore, it helps to decouple the classes and allow us to reuse existing codes.

4. Object Relational Mapping (ORM)
ORM is a programming technique that allows for the conversion of incompatible types in object-oriented programming languages, especially between a data store and programming objects.
SQL codes and related wrapper classes requires a significant amount of effort to develop. Furthermore, a prior design of the database is required as well. When using ORM libraries/tools, it will reduce the need of the database design as the tool is able to create the relational model within the database based upon the declared models within the codebase. Additionally, the query is done at the model level. ORM libraries/tools provide functional calls to allow for Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) operation and allows the queries to be done at the host object-oriented programming language level. This means that there is no need for any SQL code to be written.
By leveraging upon ORM libraries/tools, the code base is reduced and it allows for greater degree of code reuse by leveraging upon existing ORM libraries/tools.


5. Logging
Logging is the recording of implementation level events that happen as the program is running (methods get called, objects are created, etc.). From a maintenance perspective, the logs serves as an important record of events which occurred before the application encounters an error. It gives a greater degree of visibility of the workings of the application, thus, it allows errors/issues to be identified and isolated quickly.
The logs is configured to captured all domain-related events. For example, a “Create Auction” transaction is logged and stored. In the event of potential misuse or incident, the logs forms an audit trail of the sequence of events. This will greatly assist any investigation efforts for any potential breach or malicious behavior by users.


6. Internal Testing
Our team has come up with the following testing lifecycle for our internal testing process. More details can be found on out internal testing wiki page here

7. UAT
In order to ensure quality of our developed products, we have completed 3 rounds of User Acceptance Tests, which can be shown below:
The UAT details for FlowLabs Middleware can be found here
The UAT details for FlowAdmin Dashboard can be found here
