The International Computerized Agriculture Budgeting (ICAB) project aims to assist farmers in third-world countries through an innovative budgeting tool. Presented by the GreenTech Team, this project includes input, output, and calculation functionalities tailored for farmers and cooperatives. Despite initial challenges with traditional methodologies, the team adopted a modified ad-hoc approach for successful implementation. The presentation covers project requirements, interface design, database architecture, testing, and deployment strategies to ensure usability on low-specification devices.

International Computerized Agriculture Budgeting(ICAB) Final Presentation by GreenTech
Team and Client • Rajiv Chalasani- Project Manager • Mark Goesmann – Lead Designer • Kevin Staake – Lead Implementer • Dave Nyman – Quality Manager • Client : Mr. Lynn Beck
Overview • Requirements • Plan • Interface and Code Design • Database Design • Testing and Deployment • Retrospective • Demo
The Project • Goal: Aid farmers in third world countries • Users: Farmers, Co-ops • Description: • Input • Grouping • Calculation • Output
Lifecycle • FDD – failed for us • Project requirements were not understood • Had to switch back to design several times • Waterfall – failed for us • Were not as organized an we needed to be • Ad-hoc – successful • Modified version of waterfall • Fix bugs as they were found
System Requirements • Users must be able to retrieve data • Simple to use • Low system requirements • 64mb ram, 512mhz processor • Low screen resolution • Any OS that Supports JRE
Languages and Development Tools • Java • Swing GUI Toolkit • MySQL • NetBeans 6.5.1 • Using JDK 6
Interface Design • Login Screen • Main Form • Tabs • Navigation Pane • Input Devices • Database Viewer • Sequential Steps • Out put • Printable • Savable • Viewable
Code Design • MainApp • Login Form • Dictionary Form • Main Form • Database • JDBC • Connects to database • Create Table • Execute queries
Documentation • Java Doc • In code Documentation • User Manual • Installation • Definitions • Walkthrough • Updated Design Document • Revised ERD and Data Dictionary • Added new forms • Updated Plan document • Testing Specifications • Retrospective
Testing Specifications • Endurance • Dynamic • Calculations
User Testing • Client Testing • Regularly tested with client • Client Input • Multiple walkthroughs • Additional Usability Testing • Reviewed the user interface design with Mr. Klein • Minimized the confusing features
Deployment • Hard Copy for Client • Provide a disc with all software • Software Included • Java Runtime Environment 6.0(JRE) • MySQL essential server • Downloadable fromWebsite • Links to required software • Java Runtime Environment 6.0(JRE) • MySQL essential server • ICAB Application • Documentation • Users manual\
Retrospective • Project Requirements changes • No Users – hard to test • Developed in Visual Basic – would have been nice • Net beans - BAD • Not using Version Control – Ad-hoc – doesn’t like java • Familiarize with Java and MySQL– would have been good too!
