Software Engineering

Spring 2004; CMSC 435; Section 0201

Teams

    I will partition the class into teams of approximately six students. Each team will consist of a testing and verification group (group 1) of three/four students and a coding group (group 2) of three/four students. The following bullets summarize the duties of these groups:

    The project manager (marked in red below) will be a member of one group.

Project Requirements

    I will give you an initial set of requirements for a desired software product. 

What you need to do

    Starting from the project requirements, you will develop a complete set of requirements, design a system that meets these requirements, and finally create and test a software system that implements your design. At each step in this process you will produce corresponding documentation. All documents must be submitted in electronic format and must be written in English. You must also submit an evaluation of yourself and each of your team-mates at each of these stages.

Project Schedule

Computing Resources

    The university computer labs should provide all necessary support for the project. Other resources normally available to you (e.g., home computers) can be employed, however you do this is "at your own risk." No alterations to conditions of the assignment will be made to accommodate peculiarities of your other computing resources.

Project Presentation

    All teams will present their project in class. Details of the presentation are available here. An evaluation sheet will need to be filled by every student.

"The dog ate my homework"

    Late deliverables will be accepted with a 10% penalty per day. Start your projects early - last-minute computer malfunctions will not be accepted as reason for delaying an assignment's due date.
