I’ve done up about 25 test cases in all for use with the comp4301 test script. But it took a little while to get them just right. So I’ve actually already run all the assignments through the scripts today to make sure everything’s working properly. It only takes fifteen minutes or so to run each time, so it’s not a big problem. Anyway, having tweaked the scripts and test cases to get them exactly how I want them, I started running the scripts for real just before I left uni this evening. I’ll check in the morning and see how it all went. I also dummy marked a few assignments to see how long it would take to mark each one from the script output. It’s going to be pretty quick I think. Probably much quicker than coms3200. The most tedious bit will be marking the Client component, because it’s all graphical and needs to be done by hand. But there’s only a few tests I need to do for each one. With any luck, I’ll be finished by Thursday afternoon. If not Friday.
Feeling much better today. If yesterday was a cold, muddy puddle, then today is a warm spa bath with the bubbles on. :)
Nigel sent me a link to this great advertisment for the new Honda Accord. It must have been one frustrating film shoot. There is no computer generated imagery used in the ad at all. It’s all real. This reminded me of the advertisment for the Nissan Z which is playing in cinemas at the moment. Again, this ad is all real. What makes it even cooler is that the film was shot in one take. There were no cinematography tricks used, like filming at fewer frames per second to make the car look faster. Cool car. Cool ad. I want a Nissan Z for Christmas! At a base price of 60 Gs (A$), I think I’ll be waiting for quite a few Christmases before I get to sit behind the wheel of one of those things. For now Nigel and I are doing just fine in our old Hyundai Excel!
Good night, one and all.
