Challenge Overview

Project Overview

Platane is a web-based resource-planning-tool (a resource is an employee with its work-capacity).

In Platane an employee can be reserved for a particular project (example: John works for project PLATANE 40% (2 days/week) from 1.1.2015 – 30.6.2015).Platane displays the work levels of the teams and employees, and projects the workload.. Platane collects from Exchange Server the absences of the employees and collects from Jira the assigned tasks for the employees. With an optimizing-algorithm, Platane calculates the optimal work-order of the tasks and the workload of the employees.

Competition Task Overview

For this challenge, we need to implement the domain layer for the application, this basically means:

  • The database schema (please note that Domain.png only contains a basic ERD, and it's not complete, see more details below on all requirements to support)
  • JPA-annotated domain-model-classes (see the ch.post.it.plat.domain.model package in plat-process folder, this is where all classes with database-mapping are located.)
  • Java code to access / manage objects (the data access classes, see the ch.post.it.plat.domain.repository package in plat-process folder)
  • You must develop based on the client's skeleton, see minimal-app-code.zip

Requirements

Please go through the business requirements document and make sure all use cases are supported by the domain layer. There are also some cases missing in the spec so make sure you check the following list as well.

We need to support CRUD for all the following objects even if they are not mentioned in the requirements spec:

  • Unit
  • Team
  • Resources (Employees)
  • Working Place / locations
  • Public holidays (a special case of absence) / absence
  • Capacity
  • Reservation
  • All types of projects
  • All types of tasks
  • Allocation
  • The business-organization is structured in a tree. Parent is a recursive unit-structure. A unit can have several teams. The team can have several employees.
  • A unit can contain other units and/or team(s).

Client Standards

Please make sure you go through all client documents, they contain important information about how you should write your code:

  • Developers-guide.pdf
  • Platane-business-requirements-v01.01.pdf
  • Platane-software-specification-v01.01.pdf

Testing

Unit tests are required, please check the Developers-guide.pdf document and make sure you follow the guidelines there.
