This is the second of two assessments for COMP285 where each contributes 50% of the final module mark.
The general purpose is assessment of the following learning outcomes:
1. Perform software development tasks using the techniques of Automated Testing, Continuous Integration and Test Driven Programming
2. Use Ant, JUnit and Eclipse both individually and jointly as tools for Automated Testing, Continuous Integration and Test Driven Programming with the main stress on JUnit testing and test driven programming with Eclipse.
The goal of this assignment is to complete the testing of a partial implementation of a set of shape classes in the style of Test Driven Programming in Java by using Unit Testing with JUnit4 in the framework of Eclipse. You are also expected to use test driven development to add a new class which will represent a regular polygon.
You will need to finish/correct this implementation and testing framework. All tests should succeed and all classes should be functioning well.
Each shape class must implement ALL the interface defined IShape.java, familiarise yourself with this source file. This contain comments explaining the required functionality for each shape.
The following classes have already been implemented but some only partially (there is code to add) and some contain bugs. You should have a Junit test class for each of the tested classes.
Point
Shape Rectangle Circle RegularPolygon Main
Represents a point in 2-D
(abstract base class for all other shape classes)
Represents a rectangle
Represents a circle
Represents a regular polygon
Entry point for the code, also has a rendering function which enables the shapes to be drawn using Java 2D.

Presentation of work
The project should be implemented in Eclipse and needs to use Junit to test the functionality of ALL the public methods of the classes mentioned in the marking criteria.
Please follow the package names given in the source file, do not remove any packages and do not define any new packages. Please put all your tests in the test package.
All the actions (such as creating the project, Java source file, JUnit test case, etc.) should be done by Eclipse wizards.
Please name all the test classes by adding in the word Test postfix to all test class names, so to test the Circle class use a class called CircleTest.
The general advice is to work first on something simple. Then there will be fewer problems since you can then depend on what you have already resolved and well-tested.
You should comment appropriately all the code you write. This way you can demonstrate your understanding of what they do. This will also be taken into account when marking the work.
Notes
Rotation, if the shape is rotated, by a small angle, less than 90 degrees, you should see the shape rotate anti-clockwise, you can see this in the example code.
Canvas rendering
Since this is very difficult to test using Junit, there is no requirement for this to be tested via Junit. Canvas rendering will NOT be marked but is there to help you understand if your code is working.
Mathematics
For this assignment you do NOT need to consider rotation plus scaling.
There is lots of information on how to do the maths online, this a good source. You don¡¯t really need to understand the mathematics to apply it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix
One thing that should always apply, if the scaling is set to 1 in both axis and the rotation angle set to zero, the shape should return the original shape it was constructed with. For rotation of the circle, just consider rotating its centre. For rotation or scaling of other shapes, you just have to consider rotating or scaling each of their points in turn. For the circle and scaling, you can consider its X-Y ratio locked for scaling (it is not an ellipse). For the circle ignore the y-scaling parameter. For the circle, simply scale the radius by the scale factor and scale the origin of the circle relative to the scale origin.

Like this;
scaledX= ( (X-scaleOriginX)*scaleX ) + scaleOriginX scaledY= ( (Y-scaleOriginY)*scaleX ) + scaleOriginY
In fact you can use this to help scale the points for any shape. This allows you to scale the shape around its centre and therefore expand/shrink it without moving it.

All Java files presented by students should be compilable and appropriately formatted. Your whole project directory should be zipped up and submitted.
This zip file should be submitted electronically to Canvas.
Marking Schema
This assignment contributes 50% of the final mark for this module, and will be marked according to the following marking scheme.
You must thoroughly test all the classes given and then fix/debug the code provided. To get full marks all methods need to work properly with a full range of appropriate tests to cover all required test partitions.
Please start with testing and debugging the Point class.
