This capstone unit in the Application Development major of the Bachelor of Information Technology course is designed so that you can demonstrate your learning across the whole course of study before making the transition to the next stage of your career. You are required to demonstrate and apply the skills you have developed in earlier core and application development specialisation units by undertaking an authentic task group project or an industry project. You are required to synthesise and apply your skills developed across the units studied previously. This unit will help you to consolidate your competence with a relevant set of software engineering concepts, practices, and tools. To achieve this, you will work in small teams with a designated customer to identify a problem and develop a software application adhering to software engineering principles and standards. You will document and present the requirement analysis, identify potential cyber threats and system vulnerabilities, design artefacts, and the results from software testing. Your team will develop the project management, quality assurance, and cyber security components within project specifications. You will also evaluate and discuss your contribution to the project team and the overall team performance.
