ITC303 Software Development Project 1 (8)
Abstract|
This subject is the first step in your major software engineering project. Work started in this subject is continued and completed in the linked subject ITC309. This subject, and its linked subject, cover the practical application of a project management methodology in the development and delivery of a major project. In particular, the focus of these subjects will be the application of the Unified Process (UP) whereby iterative and incremental development and testing are essential elements of the project lifecycle and process framework.
In this subject, students will be working in teams to produce a project proposal, and define the system architecture and modelling. A major milestone of this subject is delivery of a prototype to demonstrate technology suitability and functionality before proceeding with the project in ITC309. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to identify and apply appropriately the different steps in the UP methodology to produce software, as well as the main artefacts of the software development process, using project management tools to assist in timely completion of milestones;
- be able to analyse and document application requirements using Unified Modelling Language (UML) modelling techniques and tools;
- be able to evaluate and determine suitable technologies to be used in the project;
- be able to verify design through delivery of a functional prototype;
- be able to evaluate software unit and application quality through testing.
|
|
|
SyllabusThe subject will cover the following topics:
- Project development and the Unified Process methodology.
- The initiation and elaboration phases of a software project.
- Project planning and management skills for managing projects emphasising risk analysis and prioritisation.
- Creating conditions for effective team management including professional and ethical behaviours, inter-personal skills, managing people and user management.
