Issue Tracker

Create an account for yourself, using your CS userid as your username. You must do this by 5pm Saturday.

Between 5pm and 8pm Saturday, I will give everyone developer permissions. This will allow you to create and edit tasks. I will also create two tasks: a "Free Points" task, and a "Homework 1" task. I will sign everyone up for the "Free Points" task and close it.

The following must be done after 8pm Saturday.

1. Go to preferences, and change your password.
2. While in preferences, set it so that the issue tracker shows you the the issue list using: Issue Number, Status, Points, Module, Assigned To, Category. Sort by points. (You can change this to whatever you like later.) You can also set the notification, which will cause emails to be sent when changes are made to the issue list.
3. Sign yourself up for the "Homework 1" task.
4. Go to reports, and tell it to show you the "performance score" for the developers group, milestone 1.
5. Create a text file. In this file answer the following questions:
   1. Where did you get your individual points?
   2. Why didn't you get points for the "Homework 1" task?
6. Find the issue in the issues list entitled "Homework 1". Add an event to the issue with a little description. Also attach your text file to the event.
