Name: Low Jia Hui Date: 23 November 2012 Did you do any work? Yes/No? If yes, what did you do? Yes. As our team realised that we had misunderstandings of requirements needed, we reorganized our work before submitting our documents. I have updated my objective component in the document ensuring it is more precise. Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. No. Did everything go according to plan? If not, what went wrong? No. Various changes need to be done for our Project Proposal which was submitted due on 10 Nov. Changes to the proposal caused delayed on the rest of the pending deliverables. Do you have anything to prepare for your next session? Yes/No? If yes, write down what you need to do. If no, state why not. Based on the changes made, we furthered improve the rest of the project documents. I have to check online on the contents for Requirement Specification document before doing continuing to research for each of the components.

Name: Low Jia Hui Date: 22 December 2012 Did you do any work? Yes/No? If yes, what did you do? Yes. As the team is preparing for Preliminary Requirements Specification, I was assigned to handle the components of Introduction & Glossary and the general information. The team discuss on implementing the use case diagrams and the functional and non-functional requirements. Discussion on different types of diagrams to insert in requirement specification document. I did my own research at home and visit the library for more references. Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. Yes. I have to understand what are the main product functions, software functions and hardware functions before able to write the document. Did everything go according to plan? If not, what went wrong? Yes. I managed my time well and managed to stay organized and discuss my research with the team members on time. Do you have anything to prepare for your next session? Yes/No? If yes, write down what you need to do. If no, state why not. I designed a use case diagram for this Requirement Specification Document. It enables me to discuss with any amendments made with my team members.

Name: Low Jia Hui Date: 30 December 2012 Did you do any work? Yes/No? If yes, what did you do? As for this milestone, it is all about implementation. We have decide on using QT creator for our platform environment and it is totally new to us therefore I had already downloaded QT creator in my Ubuntu for trials and experiment how to work with the code editor to familiarize it. Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. Yes. I kept reinstalling Ubuntu for a few times and it kept prompting me with errors. Even with correct coding, connection can be established but SQL commands cannot get through. However, my leader Jun Xiang passed me his OS image and I implemented the whole system again. Did everything go according to plan? If not, what went wrong? With the errors I got from installing the QT creator, it postpones my time to start working on the codes. I could have start even earlier if there is no problem with installation which drag my time. Do you have anything to prepare for your next session? Yes/No? If yes, write down what you need to do. If no, state why not. Preparation for next session would be researching of codes and implement as much as possible. I am tasked to do coding on meta-data modelling which is to read in meta data from different application databases.

Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. No. I have to brain storm how every function is implemented within the wrapper. I am new to using QT IDE to implement GUI so I took a few days to figure out the basic. Did everything go according to plan? If not, what went wrong?

Name: Low Jia Hui Date: 15 January 2013 Did you do any work? Yes/No? If yes, what did you do? I had finished doing the View Log file function successfully and sent what I had done to Jun Xiang for compilation. Yes. I continue to help out with Jun Xiang with the Make Query function. Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. Yes, it is hard to generate the report which is why there are many trial and errors going on. Did everything go according to plan? If not, what went wrong?

As our team came up with a new feature, we realised that there are users who have no knowledge in making an SQL statement in our program (through Generate Report) page. To cater to such users, it would be easy having a How To guide for them. I helped in implementing the View Report feature to make sure report shown is based on the user role privileges. Did you come up against any problems with the work you were doing? Yes/No? If yes, write down what they were. I did research online for an effective way to guide the users.
