Learning Outcomes of UE

This UE puts into practice the concepts and activities of software engineering. The students should carry out a software development project in groups of 2 to 3 persons. A model-driven software development process should be followed, with three different phases (planning, modeling and implementation).

Content of UE

A software product needs to be developed, based on a requirements specification, and following a phased software development life-cycle consisting of planning, modeling and implementation. The final deliverable should be a fully functional software product, produced on time and respecting the imposed quality requirements.
This learning activity allows to gain practical experience with user interface modeling, software modeling in UML, object-oriented programming in Java, unit testing, design patterns, version control, collaborative software development in groups, software project management and planning, and software quality management.

Prior Experience

A good knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts, and practical experience with the Java programming language.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

During Term 1, the deliverables of the first two phases of the project need to be provided before the imposed deadlines. They will be evaluated using the following weighting:
- planning phase: 10%;
- modelling phase (user interface mockup, UML models, modeling report): 35%.
Attention! If no deliverable is received before the imposed deadline, the implementation phase cannot be delivered, and a grade of 0/20 will be assigned for this AA.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

During Term 2, the deliverables of the implementation phase of the project (source code, executables, tests, user manual, implementation report) need to be provided before the imposed deadline. They will be evaluated using a weighting of 55%.
Attention! If no deliverable is received before the imposed deadline, a grade of 0/20 will be assigned for this AA.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

During Term 3, the deliverables of the last two phases need to be provided before the imposed deadline.
They will be evaluated using the following weighting:
- modeling phase: 30%
- implementation phase: 55%
The grade obtained for the planning phase during Term 1 will be taking into account for 10% in the grade for Term 3.
