Software Design - XFX1061

Assessment 1: Other

Formative assessment will be provided through tutorial exercises and online tests. 
Work will be set and feedback will be provided on the students&#39; efforts.  Model answers will be provided to certain exercises for comparison and evaluation.  Students will be able to gain informal feedback on work in progress by taking it to the practical for their tutor to review.  Students will also have the opportunity to self-asses their work to gain a greater understanding of the assessment process.

XFX1061 - Software Design

Software Design

Recognise the concept of correctness and verification and validation in testing computer programs.

Apply abstract modelling techniques to a problem scenario to build models 	from a number of perspectives, in order to capture information and to devise appropriate event-driven and algorithmic solutions.

Formulate a range of algorithms for manipulating data structures.

Develop basic object oriented program, applying designed techniques and algorithms.

Analyse problems and develop algorithms using a design approach (e.g. functional decomposition or object oriented design).

Describe the semantic concepts of a variety of abstract modelling techniques relevant to modern computing.
