There are four sets of weekly apps designed to prepare you for the project. Each week you will implement small enterprise apps to demonstrate features of libraries such as persistence, transaction, logging, testing, security, REST and MVC. For most apps, you will be provided with skeleton code and/or tests.

The assessment consists of enterprise exercises that you will implement apps for.  Each exercise will be marked according to the correctness of the answer, for example, the quality of the database artefacts produced for a persistence exercise. There are four sets of weekly exercises; each worth 7.5%.

You will work as part of a small team to analyse requirements, design, implement, build, test, and document a complete enterprise application.

Groupwork

You must work in groups of 4 to 6 people for this assignment. It is likely that your group will include people from other campuses. All group members must be identified in the groupwork artefacts. Your team must choose a technical leader and a, different, group leader who will act as the project manager. Evidence must be provided that all group members contributed adequately to the final submissions. You must attend tutorials in Weeks 7, 8, 9 and 10 or otherwise in your own time record team meetings to be eligible for full marks for Ass 2 Project. All group members must submit via the unit website. The moderation process might allocate group members different marks. Sharing of artefacts, for example, code, between groups is not permitted.

Repository

Create a private code repository and invite your tutor and the unit coordinator. One code repository is to be used by all group members. Each member of the group must make at least four weekly contributions to a private Git repository prior to the due date.

The assignment criteria includes documentation quality (design, code and test), software implementation correctness and process and groupwork artefacts. Process, groupwork and code compilation and execution are aspects of each criteria. For example, to be eligible for full marks for each criteria, you must have committed quality contribution to your team's private Git over 4 weeks, you must have evidence of your contribution to the team and your code must run and execute. You must attend tutorials in Weeks 7, 8, 9 and 10 or otherwise in your own time record team meetings to be eligible for full marks for Ass 2 Project.

In this assignment you will apply for a job as an applications developer. You will:

• Develop answers to selection criteria
• Attend an interview during a Week 12 class (lecture or tutorial) during which you will answer interview questions. The interview will be recorded for moderation purposes.

The interview will ask questions for topics such as the following:

• Groupwork, laws & ethics
• Technical, e.g. identify the code in your project that is used to implement a feature, e.g. persistence, and explain how that code works and the organisational benefits
• Compare how alternative enterprise software architectures can used to balance the needs of different stakeholders in an organisation.

The assignment criteria includes quality of selection criteria answers and answers to interview questions that include topics such as groupwork, laws, ethics, technical (design and coding) questions, and to compare how alternative enterprise software architectures can be used to balance the needs of different organisational stakeholders.
