ITC309 Software Development Project 2 (8)

This subject is the final step in your major software engineering project.  Work started in ITC303 will be completed in ITC309. This subject, and its linked subject ITC303, cover the practical application of a project management methodology in the development and delivery of a major project. In particular, the focus of these subjects will be the application of the Unified Process (UP) whereby iterative and incremental development and testing are essential elements of the project lifecycle and process framework.

In this subject, students will be working in teams to produce a beta and release of their project, including user and programmers manuals. They will then be expected to review the project outcomes, artefacts and collaborative work.
