CS373 Spring 2021: William Wang

What did you do this week?

Earlier this week, I worked with my IDB team to finalize our website for submission. I fixed some bugs in our backend and wrote an array of Python unit tests for most modules in our API code. Then, I spent most of the week competing in Citadel’s Terminal competition, where teams write algorithms to play a tower defense game against each other. I also started to refine our GitLab pipeline and research the sorting and filtering functionality in SQLAlchemy.

What’s in your way?

Because of the ongoing Terminal competition, I haven’t had much time this week to work on things for class. That should be done by tonight, though, and I’ll be sure to catch up on the tasks I might have missed in the meantime. I still don’t know if I’ll be as free to work with my team as I’d like due to the backlog of things on my plate, but I’ll try to communicate as much as I can.

What will you do next week?

Next week, I want to have searching, sorting, and filtering totally done from a backend perspective. I plan to try doing some test-driven development this time to avoid any last-minute bugs like what happened last week. Once that’s done, I can work with the frontend team to integrate the new API functionality.
