Project

The purpose of the project is to give you the opportunity to practice the concepts discussed in this class. The requirements are purposely somewhat vague such that you can interact with the client (that's your instructor) to figure out the detailed requirements.

In addition to various deliverables you have to produce throughout the semester and a working product on the due date of the project, you are expected to develop a lot of unit tests as you work on this project.
