AIMS
The aim of the subject is to give students an understanding of how and when to apply their knowledge of computer science and software engineering in the development of a non-trivial software system. The subject also aims to give students an understanding of the importance of analysis, design and management activities within a development process and to provide a realistic environment in which students understand how the practical aspects of computer science and software engineering are applied to real world projects.
INDICATIVE CONTENT
Students will work in teams to analyse, design, implement and test a non-trivial software system for a realistic client. A key part of the project is for students to develop and manage a repeatable process in order to deliver a quality software product Workshops will explore the application of theory to the project and include selected topics drawn from: requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing and software project management relevant to the phase of the project that students are currently working on.
