Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module gives the student an insight into design techniques and programming languages used in industry (professionally useful) and uses learner focussed techniques in lectures (for example buzz sessions) LOs 1,2,3,4,5). Case studies, drawn from real life examples and research projects, will be used to demonstrate the use of different architectures (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Architectural styles are then placed in context: examples of architectural description languages and their use, the benefits of architecture reviews and techniques for architectural analysis, architecture verification and code generation (LOs 2, 3, 4, 5). Product line development is introduced together with process models for the development of domain specific software architectures. Open systems and standards and the use of commercial off the shelf components are introduced as key topics in the specification of architectures in industry (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4).
|
Tutorial/practical sessions are used to provide formative feedback for students on the module. During these sessions, module tutors assess and evaluate student performance on tasks relevant to the summative assessment, providing timely feedback which supports the development of students’ capabilities. This formative assessment will ensure students are prepared adequately for the summative assessments which follow.
|
This module is assessed by a practical component around week 12 and a centrally timetable examination.
