General Information

Overview

In this integrative capstone project, you are required to synthesise and demonstrate your technical and generic 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 an authentic problem, document and present the design process, and the results from a developed software solution to the identified problem. In addition to the documented application, your team will also identify and produce the project management, quality assurance, and cyber security components required to ensure that the project is delivered within specified project outcome parameters. You will also evaluate and discuss your contribution to the teamwork and the overall team performance.
