CS-489 Lab 2: Application Frameworks & OO CASE Tool

Dr. Mark J. Sebern

Overview

The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with an application framework (Microsoft Foundation Classes) and an object-oriented CASE tool, Rational Rose 98.

Activities

In this lab, you will:

• Create a simple Rose model
• Build a simple MFC application
• Report on your results

Detailed instructions

Work with your assigned team on this group lab project. You may wish to work in subgroups and integrate the results.

If you have difficulties with any part of the lab, consult the instructor for assistance. The basic sequence is:

1. Create a new Rose (conceptual) model (complete or partial) for the faculty schedule system discussed in the class exercises.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions to build a simple MFC application. You may add enhancements, but this is not required.
3. Submit the lab report (details below).

Lab report

The lab report should consist of the following:

• A text file containing a brief description of any problems you encountered or questions you have regarding the lab.
• A copy of the Rose model file you created.
• The modified source files if you added any enhancements to the sample MFC application.

Submit this report to the instructor by email or another agreed-upon technique (e.g., giving read access to files on the file server). Be sure to keep copies of all your files, in case something gets lost; it may be wise to keep a diskette backup as well.

The lab report is due before the beginning of the following lab period. If you have any questions, consult the instructor.
