Dear Robert and Alexander, Thanks for your suggestions. Robert, Yes I was thinking about a good, simple way to represent the schedule. My idea was to draw a chart which shows the time allocation with a range of dates and hourly basis. eg: Implementing show function handler
Duration: May 10 to 30 Designing :10 hours. Implementation :100 hours Testing : 30 hours likewise. Is that ok? I thought that it might help me to divide the time among tasks easily although those are rough estimates. As you advised I will be writing test cases for every bit of function. I will complete this before 20 UTC todya(Because I got some lectures today). And I will let you know when I am done. Again Thanks for spending time for read the proposal.
