Resources required
- Learning Outcomes
- 1. Produce a comprehensive design to develop a software solution and to provide
comprehensive performance and scalability analysis
2. Apply prototyping to validate an approach or a design point and to investigate trade off
analysis: features, performance, quality and maintenance, version control and the cost of
development
3. Produce appropriate internal and external documentation
4. Effectively use open source code - Content
- - High level design
- Prototyping and its advantages
- Documentation: external and internal
- Quality and maintenance
- Version control systems
- Selecting efficient algorithms and data structures
- Using and incorporating open source code
- Performance and analysis
- Trade off analysis: features, quality, cost of development, time of development, maintenance
and cost of resources - Teaching and Learning Strategy
- Teaching methods will involve theoretical and practical classes which may include but not limited to lectures, class discussions, tutorials, case studies, simulations, computer laboratory work, group activities, face-to-face and online activities.
- Assessment Criteria
- In order to receive a passing grade, students must achieve a minimum 40% average over all supervised tests and achieve 50% overall for the module.
- Learning and Teaching Resource
- Wintec Learning Management Systems, Computer Laboratory
- Required Textbooks
- An extended reading list will be supplied by the tutor at commencement of the module. This will be updated annually.
