• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

UE's Learning outcomes

split complex problem into quality software components; build quality software components; evaluate software development in terms of cost, delay and quality. analyse a complex problem; split the problem into quality software components ; build quality software components ; develop the software implementing this resolution with modern programming tools; develop collaborative and communicative attitude by teamworks, presentations in public and written reports; display initiative, innovation and organization (allocation of tasks, synchronization, ...).

UE Content

The methods used for large software development (MERISE, UML); Software abstraction and decision Life-cycle; The Unified software development process; Agile software development methods (eXtreme Programming, Scrum, TTUP); Software project management (planning, methods of cost estimation, team management); Software testing; Human-machine interfaces (ergonomic design, digital communication techniques and media strategy) Implementation of a solution to a complex application (software and/or digital) and its development using an Integrated Development Environment like StarUML, ArgoUML or WinDev. The project is a teamwork, a good coordination is essential.
