Hours/Week: 2h lectures e 3,5h laboratories
Classes: 1 lecture, 4 laboratory
Teacher:
João Correia Lopes
Aims
This course aims at achieving:
- To promote the acquisition of concepts, methodologies and skills of Software Engineering to be used in the design and development of software products.
- To give the practical skills in applying the tools to support the methodology to be used during the development of the product in its entire life-cycle, including testing and documentation.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course the student will be able to:
- List a set of functional requirements for the system
- Write the Requirements Manual
- Implement a prototype of the User Interface
- Write the High-level Design for the system
- Implement a vertical prototype for the system
- Write the Detailed Design for the system
- Write the User Manual
- Write the Deployment Manual
- Use UML to build the User Requirements Model
- Use UML to build the Domain Object Model
- Use UML to build the Architecture Model
- Use UML to build the Behavior Model
- Code the system using Java
- Use versioning
- Document the code using Javadoc
- Test the code using Junit
- Use a wiki to build the documentation in a collaborative way
- Use an IDE to manage the software
- Use a Version Control System

Teaching Procedures
The subject has lectures and laboratory classes.
Lectures will be used to present the theoretical content, together with practical examples using the methodologies and tools to be used in laboratory. The students will work in groups of five people in a software project.
Software
Evaluation Type
Continuous evaluation without Final Exam.
Evaluation Components
Practical work (TP) will be accessed through the documentation delivered, the product developed and the student's own performance in the laboratory classes:
- TP1: User Interface Prototype
- TP2: User Requirements Document
- TP3: Preliminary Design Document
- TP4: Vertical Prototype
- TP5: Detailed Design Document
- TP6: Product
- TP7: Demonstration
- TP8: Continuous assessment of the students' own performance
Theoretical content will be accessed through Continuous Assessment Test (CAT) sheets (FT1 to FT4) to be filled by each student in some of the laboratory classes.
Frequency Attainment
Minimum required to pass this course: 50% in each of the practical components (TP1 to TP8) and 40% overall mark in the CAT sheets.
Final Classification
Classification = 80% TP + 20% FT,
where:
TP = TP1 + 3* TP2 + 2* TP3 + 2* TP4 + 3* TP5 + 7* TP6 + TP7 + TP8
and:
FT = FT1 + FT2 + FT3 + FT4
The classification of any component of assessment can vary from element to element in the same group by plus or minus 2 values, based on the opinion of teachers and the self-evaluation to be conducted internally within each group.
Special Work and Tests
The practical work is required for all enrolled students and must be submitted before the deadlines advertised. After product demonstration, an oral session may be required for some of the students.
Special Evaluation (Working Students, etc)
Students under special regimes are expected to submit the practical work required for this subject as ordinary students.
Classification Improvement
Students may improve the mark obtained in the subject's next edition.
