Geometry Work Plan for 2001

Version 1.0

NOTE: Any dates assigned to items are to be considered just indicative.
- Items marked with refer to new developments.
- Items marked with will involve new man-power or contribution from external sources interested in the project.
- Items marked with will require coordination with more than one Working Group.
- Items marked with (*) may or may not be achieved.

  1. Navigator and Volumes:
    • reference counted touchables
    • replica navigation
  2. Magnetic Field:
    • handling magnetic-field per volume
    • general consolidation and stability: energy in electromagnetic field
    • improve unit tests
  3. CSG solids:
    • reflection of solids (G4ReflectedSolid)
    • general consolidation (CalculateExtent, testing)
    • code review
  4. STEP and BREPS:
    • BREPS code review and testing
    • STEPinterface module: class-1 descriptors, association-relationship entities
    • STEP: evaluate alternatives to NIST STEP Reader

  • Full migration to STL

  • Software Process Improvement
    • Review of use-cases and requirements
      Generate detailed URD for geometry domain. Estimated time: 1 month
    • Update existing design diagrams
      From existing MDL files: review new developments and design changes, convert to UML notation, generate new diagrams to update web documents and User’s Guide. Estimated time: 1 month
    • Enforce adoption of processes for traceability. Estimated time: 1 month
    • Generate map of unit tests classes/functionalities use cases
    • Generate map of system tests use cases
    • Adoption of History logging, CVS logs, regular tagging by distinguishing bug-fix activities from new development, start from design documents when new developments or interface changes are introduced
  • Geometry group’s web page
    • Create group’s web page to keep track of activities and post any useful information. Estimated time: 1 week
  • Software Process Improvement
    • Traceability:
    • Generate map of unit tests classes/functionalities use cases
    • Generate map of system tests use cases
  • Routine activities
    • Testing suite for solids (CSG/specific/Boolean/BREPS)
    • Extend SBT/Fred to all solids, possible improvement in the area of graphics/GUI
    • Improve testing and documentation
