ACX coding Challenge
#How to run tests and the CLI? Clone the project and run "mvn clean test" or "mvn clean verify". For your convenince, I have linked the project to Travis CI and the build status is displayed above. Run without varargs to convert the sample TXT file in the project.
#Choice of project 1800 coding challenge seemed the more interesting of the two problems because 1.) Given the time constraints of having to travel and work, I picked something that I could probably code in 10 hours flat on my flight :) 2.)This is the first time I am doing pure TDD, I picked the one that was simpler so I could spend a couple of hours learning how to do TDD. (lifehack). 3.) I ask a lot of interview candidates how to design a T9 dictionary to test their data structures knowledge, so I thought it'd be fun to actually code it for once.
#Design and Approach
- Breakdown the requirements and analyze test scenarios
- Write down the test scenarios
- Write test cases and methods to test these scenarios
- Write modules to functionally satisfy this test methods.
#Test Scenarios
#Best Practices : Trying TDD out for the first time tbh. The first project I have ever done pure TDD on. Also, technically this is the first pure Java project I've worked on. (Android/mobile/Microsoft server stack guy).
#Known Issues: Not that I know of any.
#References: Agile Data
