This module is not approved as a discovery module

Module summary

Most software is built by teams, consisting of people with a variety of skills. These teams will use specialised tools that help them to collaborate more effectively. This module exposes students to these ideas and tools in the context of an extended group project and gives them the opportunity to see how the principles learned in COMP2912 are applied in practice.

Objectives

In this module, students will learn how to collaborate in teams on software development projects and will get the opportunity to apply the techniques learned in COMP2912 Software Engineering Principles to an extended group project

Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this module a student will have demonstrated the ability to:

- Engage in and contribute to an extended software development project as part of a small team
- Use collaboration tools such as version control, issue trackers and wikis to support the team's work
- Reflect on the ethical and professional issues that arise when teams develop software

Skills outcomes
Software Project Management
Analysis and Design
Programming

Syllabus

Team roles; methods of collaboration; version control workflow for teams; use of issue trackers and wikis; ethics of team working; guest lectures from professional software developers.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Project work is done as a series of two-week iterations, with progress demos and feedback at the end of each iteration.

Methods of assessment

Coursework

Assessment type	Notes	% of formal assessment
Report	Project report - Individual reflection on project outcomes, 3-4 A4 pages	10.00
Group Project	Intermediate project management artefacts	15.00
Group Project	Final software deliverable and project management artefacts, including demo	60.00
Group Project	Individual contributions to software repository	15.00
Total percentage (Assessment Coursework)		100.00

Resit will be coursework-based but will be different in form, to reflect the fact that students will not be able to work in groups.
