Responsibility statements
[ ] I’m the legitimate author of the work that I’m delivering.

[ ] I understand that my control check will be considered failed if I don’t follow the guidelines and the
pieces of advice that have been taught in this subject.

[ ] I understand that my control check will be considered failed with no retake option if it meets any
of the failure conditions that have been taught in this subject.

[ ] I’ve read and understood the announcement that was published at the USE’s e-learning platform.

[ ] I have trained with the template that was published by the lecturers so as to maximise the chances
to pass this control check.

[ ] I haven’t asked any questions or exchanged any information with other people regarding the work
I’m delivering over the course of this control check.

Request for maintenance

- Every shout has an information sheet called trackson. The listings must show the shouts and
their corresponding tracksons. The shout creation form must request the data of the shouts
and their corresponding tracksons; the creation form must not provide any default values for
the attributes, but placeholders that make it clear their expected formats.
- The tracksons have the following attributes: “pin”, which must be unique and match pattern
“^\w{2,4}:yy:mmdd$” (where yy, mm, and dd refer to the year, the month, and the day when
the shout is created); “deadline”, which is a moment that must be at least one week after the
moment when the shout is created; “budget”, which is a positive amount of money (only EUR,
USD, or GBP are accepted); “important”, which indicates if the corresponding shout is im-
portant (shouts are not important by default).
- The administrators must be able to display the following indicators at the top of their dash-
boards: a) the ratio of shouts whose tracksons are flagged as important; b) the ratio of shouts
 whose tracksons have budget zero; and c) the average and the standard deviation of the budg-
ets grouped by currency. All figures are expected to have exactly two-decimal precision.

Deliverable
Item 1: management
- Produce a “README” document in which you comment on your doubts and the decisions that
you have made. Please, keep this item empty unless it is strictly necessary.
- Produce a “Planning” document in which you report on the tasks that a manager should plan
to fulfil this maintenance request. Please, check the time allocated to this control check.
Item 2: project
- Produce an Eclipse/Maven project that: a) satisfies the requirements in this maintenance re-
quest; note that the tracksons must be explicitly modelled as entities in your data model and
they must be explicitly associated with their corresponding shouts by means of the appropri-
ate type of association; b) includes an updated version of file “model.uxf”; c) includes a posi-
tive and a negative functional test case regarding the requirements in the request for mainte-
nance that are fed with assorted data (please, generate the data systematically to facilitate
evaluating the cases); d) includes a performance analysis regarding the new requirements: it
must include a confidence interval for the wall time taken by the requests involved in the new
requirements and a hypothesis contrast that compares your performance results to the data
in the appendix (running your functional tests is expected to produce a minimum of 250 re-
quests and all of your performance data must be used in the performance analysis).
Item 3: explanations
- Produce a 5-minute video in which you identify yourself using your ID document (NIF, NIE, or
Passport) and explain how you have solved the problems in this control check. Please, make
sure that your video makes it clear that you command the informal testing methodology and
that everything works as expected. It’s recommended that you should try Collaborate and
provide a link; if you cannot record your video with Collaborate, then upload your video in
MP4 format. The MP4 format’s mandatory since this is the only format accepted by the USE’s
e-learning platform. If you don’t have an appropriate video recorder, we recommend that
you should use OBS Studio, which is available free of charge on the Web.

Delivery instructions
Please, upload a zip file with the requested items to the USE’s e-learning platform. Please, make sure
that your zip file is named after the following pattern: “Surnames-Names-Key.zip”, where “Surnames”
refers to your surname/s, “Names” refers to your name/s, and “Key” is your unique control check key.
(Find it at the top of the first page.) Make sure that you submit your Eclipse/Maven project, not your
Eclipse workspace.

Appendix: sample performance data

The following table provides sample performance data that corresponds to the wall times computed
after executing a hypothetical refactoring of your project. Your performance analysis must compare
the performance results that you get to the following results and make a clear conclusion on whether
this hypothetical refactoring results in better performance or not.
