A passing exam grade is defined as

Midterm % * 0.15 + Final % * 0.35 > 0.250


How is the project graded? Deliverable 1 - Client meeting: 4% Deliverable 2 – Requirements v1: 3% Deliverable 3 - Client Requirements Review: 4% Deliverable 4 – Requirements/Model: 5% Deliverable 5 – User Manual:

4% Deliverable 6 - Design:

8% Deliverable 7 – Testing:

3% Iteration Review 1

3% Iteration Review 2

3% Deliverable 8 – Final project submission:

5% User Acceptance Test: 8%

Meetings outside of Class You will be expected to have regular group

meetings outside of class time

In addition to your own group meetings there are 5 additional meetings outside of class time during the term

Requirements Gathering 2 X 1hour

Iteration Reviews 2 X 25 minutes

Final User Acceptance Test 1 hour


Iteration reviews Will be held Wed. July 16th, July 23rd

Will be held during and after class on these days.

Each iteration review is 20-25 minutes long

You will demonstrate the features promised for the iteration in your implementation plan



Out of class client Meetings The client meeting (May 15-16), the client

requirement review meeting (June 4-6) and the user acceptance test (July 30 – Aug. 1) are also out of class meetings All team members must attend these meeting

Any member missing one of these meeting will receive a grade of 0 for that meeting

These meetings will be scheduled early in the term (more later today). Find links to schedules for these meetings at http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/275/jregan/assign.html

Scheduling out of class meetings It is extremely difficult to schedule these

meetings

To make it as simple as possible I will give you a list of possible times for each of the three 1 hour meetings

Each group must give me 4-5 selections of times (in order of preference) at which they can attend such meetings.



What are deliverables Each of the Deliverables is a series of

tasks (an assignment)

Each group demonstrates their understanding of the software engineering methods learned in class by working through the tasks within the related deliverable

Different phases or stages of the project are parts of different deliverables


Deliverable expectations Detailed descriptions of each deliverable are

already available on the course website http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/275/jregan/assign.html

Due dates for each deliverable are also given on this page

Each detailed description includes a summary of the expected content and an indication of how marks will be distributed

Except under exceptional conditions all team members will receive the same grade

Group selection for your term project

Janice Regan, 2008-2014

Term project Specifications will be provided

Development will be done using JAVA with Swing or C++ with QT

This course is about the engineering and design of software, much of the grade will be based on the design and development rather than just the operation of the final product.


Groups Your term project will be completed in

groups of 7 students

You may choose your own groups.

If your group has less than 7 students I will assign additional students to your group

If necessary I reserve the right assign the students in your group to other groups


Creating Groups During the first lecture you will be asked

to form groups of 7 students

Each of the newly formed groups will be asked to help schedule out of class meetings for the term
