Week Six Report

Accomplished Last Week

• Added toolbar menu and buttons for adding relationships.
• Attributes can now be labelled as either P (Primary), F (Foreign), or - (normal key).
• Continued editing lines to connect entities.
• Restyled entity and attribute boxes to adjust for changes/aesthetic.
• Connected entities directly to their relationships, so that deleting an entity will also delete its relationships.
• Various other class changes to reflect the changes to entities and relationships.
• Began research into serialization and database column types.
• Discussed plans for spring break, as related to the project.

Problems Encountered and Solutions

• Concerns over what spring break will entail, which ended up not being too disastrous, and should be easily manageable.
• Continued discussion on how to properly manage many to many relationships, and the intricacies of foreign key and primary key relationships. Discussion is still ongoing.
• Bug with the top-most boundary resizing still exists.
• Some discussion on what we could properly implement given our time limit, and what needs to be kept simple.

Team Progress: Alignment with Gantt Chart

Progress has continued for both class definitions and the interface, though neither have been completely finished. However, progress seems to be steady under the newer version of the Gantt Chart. As long as progress is made over Spring break, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Team Contributions.

Meetings were consistent this week, and there seemed to be some more awareness of what needed done. Distribution is till probably too uneven.

Plan For Upcoming Week

It seems that our team does plan to continue working consistently throughout Spring Break to the best of their ability. Discussion will still occur through group hangouts and the various other discussion forums we have. Work will continue on the classes managing entities, relationships, and their keys. Research will also continue onto the next step of our project (serializations/databases).
