Deliverable 1 Personal Experience Report

Our team ran into many problems in getting the code to download and compile. None of us had previous experience with bazaar, which was used as version control, and most of us hadn't done Mavis before to compile information. Our first meeting was wrestling with that alone, however we only had 3 members for the first meeting. Our second meeting everyone was in attendance and we got it working relatively quickly. The source code took 15 minutes to compile, which was quicker than expected, but still gave us an idea that this was a bigger project than anything we've dealt with before. My laptop seems to have a problem running the distributions of Linux I've tried to use on virtual box, and having Windows 8 makes it more difficult to set it up to dual boot. This means I haven't been able to do anything other than look up information and process it while others have the code on their computers. I still have Ubuntu on my desktop though, so I'll still be able to do so from my own home. We previously didn't realize that we would be selecting a module as opposed to doing the whole thing, as the website didn't give us the impression that it was separated quite as such. We selected the web commons module to work with, as it had previous tests, which all worked properly. It seems like the tests use Junit, and while none of us are intimately familiar with it, we understand it's rather easy to deal with.
