SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
INSTRUCTIONS:
In this assessment you are required to write report on a recent academic paper on a topic related to Software Engineering or related Software Engineering field (e.g., methodologies, analysis, design, testing, quality, etc.). Some possible research areas are included but were not limited to:
Automated Software Engineering
- Mining Software Repositories
- Search-based Software Engineering
- Quantum Software Engineering
- Project Management methodologies
- Test Driven Methodologies
- Advanced human Interfaces
- Artificial Neural Networks (applied to software engineering)
- Cloud Computing (in relation to software engineering)
- Agent Oriented Software Engineering
The selected paper must be directly relevant to one of the above topics or another topic that is related to Software Engineering. The paper can be from Scopus Level Q1, Q2 and Q3 academic conferences or other relevant Journal or online sources such as ProQuest, Google Scholar, Academic department repositories, or a significant commercial company involved in research such as IBM etc. All students must select a different paper and send it for approval (or discuss with) to the tutor/lecturer by end second week. Thus, the paper must be approved by your lecturer before proceeding. In case two student select same paper, the first come first serve policy will be applied. Note that popular magazine or web-site articles are not academic papers. Some suggested periodicals for this assessment are as follows.

Assignment 2
INSTRUCTIONS:
In this assessment the students will work in groups assigned to submit a software specification document. The document must contain the following headings:
Title Page
Table of Contents
Introduction
System Overview
Requirement Specifications
Functional Requirements
Non-functional Requirements
Others
User Interfaces
System Interfaces
Assumptions / Constraints
References
Contributions/WBA
Workplan / Work breakdown Agreement (WBA)
You are expected to work as a group on this assignment and contribute very closely to approximately an equal amount of work (unless the special consideration policy outlined applies). In your workplan you must provide details about the contributions and how the work is organised and managed. In most cases, if this is followed, students will receive equal marks on those aspects to their teammates. The Workplan section must include the following information:
CASE STUDY - Fashion e-commerce platform
You and your team have been employed to develop a fashion e-commerce platform.
Assignment 3 PART A - Software Design Specification Report
The diagram should adhere to all object oriented principles and patterns covered in this unit and appropriate for the case study under discussion.
Define and discuss what architectural pattern should be used to design the fashion e- commerce platform. The architecture should be incorporated or reflected in the class diagram developed in the part 2 of this assignment.
Students should discuss within the team and get confirmation from the staff member about the complex module they are implementing. Use Java programming language to develop it. You can use GIT or any other distributed version control system to track changes and access files remotely. However, it is optional and not accessed but recommended. Also, write instruction to run and deploy code on machines so that the teaching team can run it on their local machines.
CASE STUDY - VIT Holiday Planner
VIT has asked your team to develop an application named VIT Holiday Planner to assist users in planning their vacations efficiently and effectively. The application will provide a comprehensive platform for users to research, plan, and book various aspects of their trips.
The application should allow users to:
Search and discover destinations: Based on preferences, budget, and travel dates.
Explore activities and attractions: At various destinations.
Book accommodations: Including hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals.
Plan transportation: Such as flights, trains, and car rentals.
Create and manage itineraries: Allowing users to customize their travel plans.
Share travel plans: With friends and family.
Access travel guides and tips: To enhance the overall travel experience. Additionally, the application should provide features for:
User profiles: To store personal information, preferences, and booking history.
Payment integration: For secure and convenient transactions.
Push notifications: For updates, reminders, and travel alerts.
Customer support: To assist users with inquiries and issues.
The above description outlines the initial requirements provided by the stakeholder. However, they are unsure whether additional functionalities are necessary. A meeting will be scheduled to discuss further requirements for the VIT Holiday Planner application.
Task 1: Class Diagram
Classes are well-chosen.
Important domain concepts are modelled.
Elements that are outside the scope of the specification are not modelled.
All elements that are shown are within the scope of the specification.
All relevant associations are shown.
Inheritance is used appropriately.
Aggregation/composition are used correctly (if at all).
All obvious associations and dependencies between classes are shown.
Navigability arrows on associations and dependencies make sense (if shown).
Syntax is correct
Task 2: Architecture
Appropriate Architectural Pattern is applied in design and the code.
Architectural Pattern is correctly justified.
Task3: Implementation
Design in the code matches the design in the class diagram.
Coding standards. Applies to any code that has been touched by human hands (e.g. meaningful variable and method names, commenting, layout) -- note that this applies to both human-written code and machine-generated code that has been hand-edited. We will look for meaningful identifier names (variable, classes, methods), inline comments, method header comments, class/module comments, layout.
Functional Completeness (any complex module including login)
Task 4: System Demonstrations
Please start the video by discussing the contribution of each team member (i.e., which team member was responsible for which component in the system). Students should demonstrate a working system (the complex module) including the design, architecture and any other parts (if required).
Students demonstrate understanding of the system, the relationship between the code and the design documents, the design and the architecture of the system. Students should point out where in their code the constructs shown in their design documents are implemented.
Task 5: Work Breakdown Contribution is present. (Hurdle)
