HW Unit Testing

This video (20 min) is an overview of the HW and follows this handout. For the HW, you will need this code and this spreadsheet. You can do this homework in groups of 2 (only one person needs to turn it in, or you can work by yourself). Pay careful attention to the meaning of the items in this HW as I have a spreadsheet that will automatically determine any possible mistake you may make on this assignment.

User Stories Read through the document and watch the videos linked to in the document. This is a real example of user stories from a large international company. It will be hard to understand the exact context because of the domain jargon; however, it shows how much more thorough an industry version can be.There is nothing to turn in, just watch the videos linked inside the document carefully.
