Global Software Development: GSD 2013 (aka, “Distributed and Outsourced Software Engineering”: DOSE 2013) Assignment 1: “Setup” (straightforward, mandatory exercise) (Deadline: Thursday, September 26 at noon CET) Communication Rules There are several universities involved in this course. Good communication is important. Please, when you send any e-­‐mail to the assistants or your colleagues always start the subject with: “[dose2013]”. Furthermore, when you sign the e-­‐mail, always add your group number (you will get a group number soon), and the name of the university you are from (i.e., “ITU”). Watch Introductory Lecture from ETH Watch the introductory lecture held at ETH (recorded during DOSE 2012): http://youtu.be/nhsLehOzYlU Software Development Platform As our software development and collaboration platform, we will use Github http://github.com. You have to create a Github account in order to get access to the project’s source code, wikis, issue tracker, etc. You can sign up for a free account at: https://github.com/signup/free Personality characteristics For the formation of teams, we need you to please take the following online MBTI-­‐based personality test (with 72 yes/no questions) and record the result: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-­‐win/jtypes2.asp Note that a legal test result will be a type, e.g., “ENTJ” (a sequence of four alphanumeric characters, matching the regexp: “(E|I)(S|N)(F|T)(J|P)”) along with four percentages each related to one of the alphanumeric characters. A test result could thus, for instance, be: ENTJ: ( E= 33%, N=100%, T= 75%, J= 67% )
