Module 06-26263 (2019)

Large software projects require the combined effort of a team skilled developers. In this module students will learn the basics of teamwork in the context of developing a large programming project. Students work in teams of about six people to design, implement and document the code. Students are expected to observe good software engineering practice and work effecitvely in a team. Student will use industry-standard approaches such as continuous integration.

• provide experience of building a large and complex piece of software
• provide experience of working in a programming team
• integrate knowledge from other modules
• provide specific skills in HCI
