After setting the use cases, I have now think about code. ( Ok, maybe it should be first architecture, but I am a programmer first )

So I start to code the first Use case :

 
public class UseCase1CreateTable
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void UseCase1RightPath()
        {
            var ModeratorName = "ignat andrei";
            var roundName = "UseCase1 - Create Table";
            var table = TableFactory.CreateTable(ModeratorName);
            table.AddDuration(1);
            table.AddDuration(2);
            table.AddDuration(3);
            table.AddRoundName(roundName);
            
            Assert.AreNotEqual(0,table.Id.Length);
            Assert.AreEqual(true,table.CanAddUser);
            Assert.AreEqual(ModeratorName,table.ModeratorName);
            Assert.AreEqual(1,table.Rounds.Length);
            Assert.AreEqual(roundName, table.Rounds[0].Name);


        }
    }
 

Running the test was a no-brainer – it does not even compile. And it is good, according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730844(v=vs.80).aspx 

Now I want to test the code, so I created the classes and now the  tests were all red (because there is nothing implemented yet, just compiling) . A hour and all is going smoothly until the test was green – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development

Now the point is to enforce this behavior every time the programmer checks in some code.

So I think about Visual Studio Online – to test if , aside Version Control, it can help me with running test.

And yes, they have builds.And, being the single contributor to this project, I choose Gated Checkins

Now every time I check-in some code, the build will start and see what’s happening.

The code is at https://ignatandrei.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/MVC%20Planning%20Poker 

Exercise  for home:

Do you spot what is missing from
this test code ?

 
public class UseCase1CreateTable
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void UseCase1RightPath()
        {
            var ModeratorName = "ignat andrei";
            var roundName = "UseCase1 - Create Table";
            var table = TableFactory.CreateTable(ModeratorName);
            table.AddDuration(1);
            table.AddDuration(2);
            table.AddDuration(3);
            table.AddRoundName(roundName);
            
            Assert.AreNotEqual(0,table.Id.Length);
            Assert.AreEqual(true,table.CanAddUser);
            Assert.AreEqual(ModeratorName,table.ModeratorName);
            Assert.AreEqual(1,table.Rounds.Length);
            Assert.AreEqual(roundName, table.Rounds[0].Name);


        }
    }
 

I have decided to start a new project – MVC planning poker . This is inspired by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_poker  – and it is a program to sharpen my skills

The project is aimed to software enterprises using Active Directory – however, it can be used by any organization.

UseCase 1: Create table
Moderator identified by Name -  creates the table and the duration times(1,2,3,5,10) and optional the round name.

He has an ID to share to the next participants

UseCase 2: Participants join the table
Any user can join the table by entering the ID + name .

Use Case 3: Moderator can boot from the table
Moderator can boot from the table( permanently of just for this session ) any participant.
If permanently, the participant with this name can not join anymore

Use Case 4: Estimation saved
Moderator enters a round name (?) .
Participants choose a value.
When all participants have choosen the value, the cards are shown
The cards with  high estimates and low estimates are highlighted
Host press "create new estimation" and create new estimation
The old estimation is saved in history

Use Case 5: Round reset
Moderator enters a round name (?) .
Participants choose a value.
Host press "reset round " and a fresh new round is created
The old one is not saved

Use Case 6: Round save
After a round is saved, the users can see the history round names and picked value
They can see also a total

Use Case 7: Export
Participants can choose if they download the results in CSV / EXCEL / Word /PDF format

Use Case 8: Round delete
The host can delete a round previously saved

The mockups are the following:
