Abstract
🚀 What's Changed in v1.1.0 This release marks a major milestone in preparing the Exoplanet Transit Detection Pipeline for formal peer review with the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) and triggering an updated version snapshot on Zenodo. 📜 Academic Manuscript & Packaging JOSS Manuscript Draft: Added paper/paper.md and paper/paper.bib structured according to JOSS standards, complete with metadata, mathematical background, and BibTeX citations. Licensing & Dependencies: Added the MIT License (LICENSE), standardized environment setup in requirements.txt, and updated project documentation in README.md. Repository Architecture: Refactored project structure into clean modules for interactive exploration (project.ipynb) and standalone script execution (project.py). ⚙️ Pipeline & Signal Processing Enhancements Automated Unit Testing: Integrated self-verifying assertion tests (assert checks) to programmatically validate detected orbital periods against known physical target parameters (verified on Kepler-10b). Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Refined high-pass baseline flattening and median outlier rejection algorithms to handle noisy NASA Kepler/TESS optical telemetry. Fault Tolerance: Enhanced error handling and exception logging for continuous batch processing across multi-quarter star datasets. 📦 Quick Installation & Verification # Clone the repository git clone [https://github.com/UtkarshPandey-0/Task-Master-codes.git](https://github.com/UtkarshPandey-0/Task-Master-codes.git) # Navigate into the project folder cd Task-Master-codes # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Run the pipeline & automated unit test python project.py
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.
