Duration: 1 week (Start date: 2025-04-07, End date: 2025-04-13)

The following sections build on the Requirements Specifications document.

Sprint Goal

  1. Natural Language Code Search (FR1.2, FR1.3, FR1.4, FR1.5, BR1, NFR2)

    • Enable semantic search across indexed codebases
    • Support language/extension filtering capabilities
    • Display search results with proper code context

  2. Code Understanding Chat Interface (FR1.6, FR1.5, FR2.4, BR2, NFR2)

    • Provide interactive chat interface for code questions
    • Retrieve and use relevant code context for queries
    • Generate context-aware responses with code references

  3. User Interface Implementation (NFR2, IR1, NFR3)

    • Create intuitive frontend for search and chat functionality
    • Support Scala.js interface components
    • Ensure responsive and accessible design

  4. Technical Debt & Testing (IR4, NFR1, FR1.2)

    • Implement ArchUnit tests for layered architecture
    • Create acceptance tests for repository loading
    • Develop search relevance and chat accuracy testing

Sprint Retrospective

  • What went well?

    • Many tasks carried over from the previous sprint have been completed
      • Acceptance tests involving all types of requirements were built. This includes tests for the requirements listed in the requirements document.
    • Much of the technical debt has been resolved
    • Implemented the search functionality with filtering capabilities
    • Added comprehensive test suites for validating functional, business, and non-functional requirements using BDD-style tests

  • What could be improved?

    • Not all planned tasks were completed:
      • The Scala.js interface components (S3.3.2) implementation was only started but not completed
      • ArchUnit tests for layered architecture (S3.4.1) remain to be implemented
      • Chat accuracy evaluation (S3.4.4) wasn’t completed
    • Frontend development in Scala.js requires more attention in the next sprint
    • Integration between the backend and frontend components needs further refinement

  • What did I learn?

    • BDD-style testing with ScalaTest FeatureSpec provides a clear way to validate requirements
    • Modern build tools like Vite improve the frontend development experience by allowing to dynamically reload changes
    • Implementing comprehensive test suites early helps validate that requirements are being met correctly
    • Python prototyping allowed for quick validation of UI concepts before full Scala.js implementation
