WEEK NINE! - Testing my own code.

Whoa this week went by tooo fast. This week I found out that the MatLab JA Builder does not allow you to deploy GUIs in a web application so now I will convert my GUI into a standalone application using the MatLab Compiler. I also implemented another feature into my application: a way to keep track of the flags you set by saving the image to the user's computer. After this my GUI was looking pretty good and it was on to testing it out....the scariest part!

So apparently I learned that I absolutely HATE testing my own code, because every little runtime error is usually caused by some other code somewhere and trying to figure out the source of error is horrible. One of my runtime errors occurred when I tried to send the flagged data back to the database. My SQL statement was done improperly as a MATLAB string. I first tested the query string in the database...it works....but then writing it into a MATLAB string and executing it from there would give me problems. Apparently when you execute a query in a DB, it has to be written a certain way different from when you have it as a string in MATLAB to be executed. I had two extra apostrophes in my string that took me FOREVER to find. Anywho, it works now and I believe it is ready to be compiled...there are still some runtime bugs in there hiding but it would take me more than these two weeks to find them all if that is even possible.

Wednesday was my last Furse class (awww), I learned so much about Tribal sovereignty and their relationship with the U.S. government. I wrote a short paper one page paper on what I found most interesting and attached it.

This Friday and next week I will be writing my final paper and working on my final presentation for my project.
