Opening session

The inaugural session of this year’s edition. The SEI calendar and partners will be presented. And, possibly, some surprises.

Challenges Presentation

Presentation of all the challenges that will happen during the week.

Mutation testing - Let's kill some mutants

Every day we write tests to ensure the quality of our code. But what ensures the quality of our tests?

Mutation Testing is a method of inserting faults (mutants) into programs to verify whether the tests pick them up, thereby guaranteeing their quality.

Do you want to improve the quality of your tests? Do not let mutants invade your code.

Join us to learn how to create and kill some mutants in JavaScript.

• Understand how Vue CLI 3 can help us create vue applications;
• Make use of “single file components” (*.vue files);
• Understand the life cycle of Vue applications;
• Know how communication between components is made;
• Use VueX as a store to centralize application.

Prerequisites:

• Computer and elementary knowledge of Javascript.

THE ILLUSION OF LIFE - A LESSON IN ANIMATION

In this workshop we’ll be working out computer graphics as a tool to generate animated scenes focusing on 2D animation. We’ll be analysing various concepts needed to generated fluid animations, applicable to a wide range of platforms and fields, like Game Development, Simulation System, UI/UX and virtual environments in general, and implementing solutions according to said standards.

Pre-Requisites: the attendants should have a rudimentary understanding of computer graphics (rendering) as well as basic knowledge of Linear Algebra.

Automotive Infotainment Systems

The technology on board cars has increased exponentially in last years. With increasingly complex software, the challenges to ensure that all units leaving the production line meet their requirements. In this workshop we present our solutions and challenge you to develop a script that can control and test the features of our latest handsets. There is a prize for the best team!

Dynamics: The teams will be created during the workshop, depending on the of the participants in the room (this is not relevant, because the goal is not competition).

Prerequisites: There are none in specific, it is only necessary for participants to master some programming language (Python, C, C #, Java …).

Gamification 1-0-1

What is the power of games, what can we get out of them? We use all days, elements in the games without having the notion of doing it, it is an automatic human behavior that identifies and selects actions that provoke better benefits for the resolution of a given situation.

Games are present in our lives in an irreversible way. How is it that we can take advantage of this premise and use it to solve problems, challenges, or just improving our day to day? The various examples of gamification, with cases of success and failure. A practical vision of a Gamification Designer.
