Custom Kanban Board

Workflow Demonstration

The Kanban board demonstrates Agile workflow by moving tasks through stages:

• To Do → In Progress → Testing → Done
• Blocked tasks highlight issues preventing progress

Customization Explanation

The board was customized by adding:

• Testing: Ensures tasks are verified before completion
• Blocked: Highlights tasks that cannot proceed

This improves workflow visibility and aligns with Agile best practices.

Assignment 11 - Behavioral Design Patterns

Overview

Assignment 11 focused on implementing Behavioral Design Patterns in the Student Assignment Tracker System.

The following patterns were implemented:

• Strategy Pattern
• Observer Pattern

These patterns improve flexibility, communication, and maintainability within the system.

---

Strategy Pattern

The Strategy Pattern was implemented to support dynamic assignment prioritization.

Core Classes

• PrioritizationStrategy
• DeadlineStrategy
• DifficultyStrategy
• AssignmentManager

Purpose

Allows the system to switch prioritization behavior dynamically at runtime.

---

Observer Pattern

The Observer Pattern was implemented to support assignment notifications.

Core Classes

• Observer
• Subject
• AssignmentTracker
• StudentObserver

Purpose

Allows students to receive assignment update notifications automatically.

---

Unit Testing

JUnit 5 was used to test:

• Strategy behavior switching
• Observer notification functionality

Test File

• BehavioralPatternTests.java

Assignment 13 - CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Overview

Assignment 13 focused on implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) using GitHub Actions.

Features Implemented

• Automated test execution
• Maven build automation
• JAR artifact generation
• Branch protection rules
• Pull request validation
• GitHub Actions workflow automation

CI/CD Workflow

The GitHub Actions workflow automatically:

1. Runs on every push
2. Runs on pull requests to main
3. Executes all unit and integration tests
4. Builds the Spring Boot application
5. Uploads a JAR artifact when merged to main

Running Tests Locally

mvn clean test
