The Software Engineering and Project course currently uses a MyUni Canvas for communication (the link will be published in time). 
All students are required to subscribe and check the forum on a regular basis for announcements relating to the course and project.

The course aims to introduce students to a wide range of Software Engineering terminology, techniques and processes throughan eight week block of lectures. The concepts taught in these lectures will be practised and reinforced by participation in asemester long, group-based software engineering project. This project will take students through the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering, through to implementation, testing and deployment.

Weekly group meetings will be held with students, in which students will gather requirements for their project, demonstrate software prototypes, and present on various topics relevant to their project. Agendas will be prepared for the meetings, andeach meeting will be fully minuted by the students. Feedback will be given to students at the group meeting, in order forstudents to improve on their presentation, demonstration and meeting management skills. Attendance at all the lectures of thecourse is encouraged as the engineering practices and principles taught in these lectures will be assessed during the entire semester in the group meetings. At the end of the project, students will give a final presentation and demonstration reflecting on their experiences in the project and the lessons learnt.

Software Engineering and Project is a 3 unit course. The expectation is that students will be spending 12 hours per week working on the course. For the first 8 weeks of the course, this will include 3
hours per week of lectures. From week 3, students are required to attend a weekly group meeting with one of the lecturers, approximately 25 minutes in duration. Students are also required to attend their own group meeting to solve the relevant issues involved in the project, approximately 25 to 35 minutes in duration. The remainder of the time should be spent working on the project – students are expected to learn the content presented in lectures by doing the project.

NOTE: the nature of the course means that it is very easy for students to spend more than the allotted 12 hours per week onthe course. The onus is on students to plan their tasks and time carefully to ensure they do not over commit to the project. Importantly students should start preparing for the project from Week 1, and should maintain a consistent workload throughoutthe semester. One of the learning objectives for this course is the development of good time management skills.

The following topics will be covered in lectures:

• Project management: Group dynamics and management; project planning; communication; meetings
• Requirements: Requirements gathering techniques; requirements analysis; requirements presentation
• Process models: Traditional software development process models; development lifecycle activities; risk focused process models; agile process models
• Configuration management: Configuration items; version and release control; source code control; change management

Attendance at weekly group meetings with lecturers is compulsory. Students will be required to obtain at least 40% in the exam and 50% overall to pass the course.

2) Group Assessment Components

Poster : The first deliverable from each group is a poster that markets
the group and its members as a software development team. This deliverable is
intended as a mechanism for the group members to get to know one another, and
to cooperate on a project that does not involve any programming or technical
work. Indeed it is intended to be fun. But it has the serious side of getting
the group to work as a team, and to begin to understand the individual member's
strengths and weaknesses.

Software Requirements Specification : Students are required to write a Software Requirements
Specification document. The purpose of this document is to record the project
requirements as captured in the initial group meetings with the lecturers, as
well as any changing or additional requirements that arise later in the
project. An initial version will be submitted in Week 5. This version will be
marked and feedback provided by the lecturers. The final revised version will
be submitted in Week 12.

Software Project Management Plan : Students are required to write a Software Project Management
Plan document. The purpose of this document is to describe thetasks that need
to be completed in order to meet the project requirements, and provide an
allocation of tasks to individual students. The project plan should also
provide estimated completion times and required resources for each task. The
SPMP should also identify any potential project risks and specify contingencies
for dealing with the risks.

Software Design Document : Students are required to write a Software Design document. The
purpose of this document is to provide both an overall architectural model of
the system, together with lower level details for each of the individual
components that make up the system. Class diagrams, state diagrams and interaction
diagrams should be used to capture to low level details of the design. Details
should be provided for each of the classes and methods used in the system.

User Manual : Students are required to write a User Manual document. The
purpose of this document is to provide guidance to end-users on how to use the
final software. This will give students experience in writing documentation for
non-technical users.

Group Milestones: Each group is required to demonstrate two group defined
milestones in Week 9 and 10. The purpose of these milestones is to demonstrate
to the “client” that you are making good progress towards satisfying the
project requirements, and to help clarify the requirements. The milestones
should be feature-driven – the client does not want to look at your code.
Groups will be required to submit a milestone description form in Week 6.
During the milestone demonstration the groups will be assessed on the extent to
which they have satisfied the milestone. Milestones can be renegotiated up to a
week before the milestone presentation, but a justification as to the reasons
for changes must be provided.

Testing Report: Each project is expected to submit a testing report at the end of the project. The purpose of this task is to ensure that all groups test the developed software. A test report should explain rationale for their testing stratgies, giving some description of up to 5 typical test cases in their project that have been used, what functionality these test cases test for, and the rationale for why you chose these test cases. You should also include your test cases (JUnit test), together with a pointer (url) to where the test cases live in the repository, and where the tested code lives.

Final Presentation and Demonstration : In Week 12 each group will be required to give a final
demonstration and presentation. The purpose is to demonstrate their final software
to the lecturers and to present the processes and techniques used throughout
the project. The students will also be expected to reflect on lessons learnt
during the project.

3) Individual Assessment Components

Presentations : Each student will be expected to give one individual presentation during the course. The purpose of these presentations will be to develop professional presentation skills. The presentation topics will focus on reflecting on the quality of various aspects of the project.  Some of the topics include Software Requirements Specification Review, Software Design Document Review and Risk Management Plan review. Presentations will be 5 to 6 minutes in duration. After each presentation, students are expected to provide a brief report reflecting on their presentation.

Drafts and final versions of the SRS, SPMP, and SDD must be submitted via SVN.

All documents must be prepared using LaTeX and signed by all members of your group. Documents prepared with other software will NOT be accepted.

An agenda must be prepared for each weekly meeting and presented at the start of the meeting. Minutes of the previous meeting must also be presented to the lecturer. Minutes and Agendas must be prepared using LaTeX.

Milestone description forms should be presented to the lecturer during the weekly meetings. No extensions to due dates will be granted.

If you hand in your work late, your mark will be capped, based on how many days late it is:1 day late – mark capped at 75%
2 days late – mark capped at 50%
3 days late – mark capped at 25%
more than 3 days late – no marks available

First draft versions of the SRS, SPMP and SDD will be returned to students with feedback at the weekly meeting in 1-2 weeks after the submission.
