Items of Near-Term Interest:

Milestone 10 Testing Update -- If you have validated Spest specs and generated Spest tests, you'll get full testing credit for the Spest portion of testing. If you have executing Spest-generated tests, you'll get 3% extra credit on testing. (You also still need three hand-written and executing tests per team member, in addition to the three Spest-generated tests.)

Milestone 10 writeup -- completed design and implementation; completed testing

Final exam overview -- topics that may be covered on the exam, and a sample exam

Midterm solutions -- answers and grading notes for the midterm

Peer review sheet -- fill in on paper and bring completed form to final exam on Monday or Wednesday
