COMP2100/2500
Description

(This is just the current handbook entry, edited slightly to bring it up to date.)

COMP2100 Software Construction and COMP2500 Software Construction for Software Engineers

(6 units)
First Semester
Thirty one-hour lectures and twelve six two-hour laboratory sessions.

Prerequisites:(COMP1110 or COMP1120 or COMP1510) and (MATH1005 or MATH1014 or MATH1116).

Syllabus:This course is about the implementation and test phases of the software construction process. It is based around an individual project lasting the whole semester. In this project, students work on the construction of a substantial application, relevant to their experience as computer users. The project is closely specified, and involves a graphical user interface. During the semester, students follow the Personal Software Process, learning time-management, planning, and quality control.

The following topics are covered: working with larger systems; code review and inspections; test planning and procedures (derived from specification and design documents); object-oriented (Eiffel Java), procedural (C programming language  will not be covered in 2006) and scripting (Bash) languages; recursive data structures; graphical user interfaces; the Personal Software Process; build tools (Ant, Make), version control (Subversion RCS) and unit testing (JUnit); use of external libraries (JNI).

Proposed assessment for COMP2100: assignments (30%); mid-semester (written) exam (20%); final (lab) exam (50%)

Proposed assessment for COMP2500: assignments (20%); oral presentation (5%), written report (5%), mid-semester (written) exam (20%), final (lab) exam (50%).
