TechJobs, Console Edition Autograded Rubric

For this assignment, students are asked to complete a console app that allows users to browse, search, and print listings of open jobs.

Assignment Requirements

1. Implement the printJobs method
2. Create the findByValue method
3. Make search methods Case-Insensitive

Unit Tests

The starter code contains unit tests and text files. There is one test class that contains 4 tests. These tests compare students' output to the text files.

We encourage students to run unit tests after they complete the assignment before submitting. Directions for how to run tests have been provided in the Java textbook's Assignment 0.

If the output matches the text files, the test will pass. If a student passes all 4 tests, they pass the assignment.

Submission cannot be graded on unit tests alone. Use the section below as a guide for what to look for before submitting your assignment.

Functional App's Appearance and Behavior:

1. After launching your app within the console, it should begin with a user prompt that looks similar to:

   Welcome to LaunchCode's TechJobs App!
   View jobs by:
   0 - Search
   1 - List
   

2. Select Search, then Location, then enter "new YORk" (or "new york", or "New york", etc.) to confirm that the search function is case-insensitive. One result should be printed:

   View jobs by:
   0 - Search
   1 - List
   0
   
   Search by:
   0 - All
   1 - Position Type
   2 - Employer
   3 - Location
   4 - Skill
   3
   
   Search term:
   new YORk
   

   *****
   position type: Other
   name: QA Analyst
   employer: Bandcamp
   location: New York
   core competency: Ruby, Javascript
   *****
   

3. Next, select List --> All. This should print lots of jobs with each of the 5 fields displayed.

4. Next, select Search --> Location --> "Chicago". This should print a reasonable "No results found" message.

5. Next, select Search --> All --> "ruby". This should display 4 results.

6. Finally, select List --> Position Type. This should produce the following list. The order is not important, since alphabetizing the output is a bonus mission.
