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 nightly jobs that will call the external adapters to import data from Jira and Exchange Server (see Platane-business-requirements_V01.01.pdf for details):
- 3.4 Performance requirements (the nightly jobs)
Detailed Requirements
- The jobs should be put in the ch.post.it.plat.process.job package. Please see section 4 and section 5.4 in Platane-software-specification_V01.01.pdf to better understand how the layers are separated.
- You must work based on the specified gitlab code branch. The final submission should still follow the client's skeleton, which is shown in minimal-app-code.zip
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.
Existing unit tests must still work after code is merged. New unit tests must be provided for new code provided in this challenge.
