Module Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to further develop
their skills for building large, important object-oriented software systems:

LO1. Differentiate, apply and exploit the key concepts of software lifecycle
models;
LO2. Compare and apply strategies for the gathering of software
requirements and the generation of software specifications;
LO3. Analyse and design software;
LO4. Compare and apply concepts for software testing, software debugging
and software version management;
LO5. Compare and apply techniques for managing software projects and
teams;
LO6. Recognise the challenges and opportunities posed by working in project
groups and apply best-practice solutions to group management issues;
LO7. Produce a requirements document for a substantial software
engineering project;
LO8. Make project plans and presentations;
LO9. Produce a management report;

Module Content

This course follows on directly from CS3012 (Software Engineering) and focuses on the practical application of the various concepts and tools related to building software systems studied in third year software engineering. This practical application takes the form of a large “hands-on” group project that covers numerous aspects of building software systems including problem analysis, usage of development environments, project management, team management, design, implementation, testing and documentation. Students will take a leadership role within these groups which are combined with students taking course CS2013.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures, practice-based.

Assessment Details

This modules requires students to deliver a functioning software project in a group.

Assessment Component	Brief Description	Learning Outcomes Addressed	% of total	Week set	Week due
Project Planning & Design	Iterative plan and design of the Sweng project.	LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5, LO6, LO7, LO8, LO9	55%	1	2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12
Project Execution & Delivery	Iterative execution of the Sweng project.	LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5, LO6, LO7	30%	1	2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12
Presentation/ Demonstration	Presentation and demonstration of the progress & final version of the Sweng project	LO6,LO8	10%	1	TBC
Attendance & Participation	Attendance to all the meetings and active participation in the Sweng project development.	LO6	5%	1	1- 12

In addition to achieving a pass mark for the module, students are also required to
attend all the scheduled team meetings (with the company client, teaching staff,
the demonstrators and the team itself). If a student does not satisfy this
requirement she/he will be deemed to have failed the module.

Reassessment Details

A practical and/or written individual task will be set, with a deadline of the end of
the reassessment period. There will be no written examination.
