School of Computer Science BCS accreditation 2021 - 2026

students create, scope, design, and implement a  substantial, dynamic, data-dependent web-based application of their choice. 

Assesement : Written reports and presentations

In the first coursework, the students are required to implement various modules to retrieve data (such as text documents), store that data in some structured fashion and then process that data to validate erroneous data.

Assesement : formative and summative assessment for coursework.

By using a continuous integration server, students are involved in deploying and testing software and receive feedback about whether the specifications are met.

Assesement : Coursework

Requirements are underspecified and require that tests are written to understand bugs

Assesement : Examination, Individual coursework, Group coursework

Practical processes for testing and deploying an enterprise Web application involve following test driven principles whereby tests are often written before production code.

Assesement : Examination, Group coursework

Addressed as design, implementation, testing, and evaluation of computer programmed solutions in the lab.

Assesement : Lab work

User stories are covered as a means of gathering and documenting system requirements in a lightweight way. Agile approaches to software testing are covered in some depth, being the focus of a half of the course unit. Evolutionary design techniques are introduced and practiced by students, with an emphasis on producing code that is easy to change in the long term (as requirements change).
