Undergraduate - UnitFIT2024 - Software engineering practice

At the completion of this unit students will have -

A knowledge and understanding of:

• the Personal Software Process and its benefits, including the need for planning, estimation, recording time, product and defect metrics, reviews, and reflection;
• the importance of, and the relationship between, a quality process and a quality product;
• reinforceing and extending their knowledge of OO programming concepts by learning how they are implemented in another programming language;
• the Software Engineers role in software development and maintenance and working with large systems;
• the Team Software Process and how it relates to the Personal Software Process.

Developed attitudes that enable them to:

• develop a positive professional attitude;
• recognise the importance of adhering to software engineering principles in designing and implementing systems;

Developed the skills to:

• make personal estimates and work plans, produce work logs and diaries, produce product and defect metrics, and participate in technical review meetings;
• monitor, reflect upon, and improve their own productivity and effectiveness;
• use a new object oriented programming language to construct systems consisting of many interacting classes;
• analyse, debug and perform maintenance on large existing object-oriented programs.

Demonstrated the communication skills necessary to:

• be able to produce reports on their plans, progress, and reviews;
• be able to work effectively in small teams, and cooperatively with other teams.
