Projects Supervised by Mr Norman<\/h1>

\u00a0<\/p>

Project Area<\/strong>: Software Engineering\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

Supervisor<\/strong>: MJ Norman (\u00a0mnorman@uwc.ac.za<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>

Description<\/strong>: The student will undertake a project that investigates an aspect within Software Engineering. The type of project could be a research project or a programming project.\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

Objective (programming project)<\/strong>: The objective of this type of project would be to exercise the student in the full software development life cycle \/ process from the initial requirements engineering to the final implementation of a quality software product. The appropriate software engineering \/ development principles, processes, methods and tools will be implemented and utilized. The relevant project documentation for the various stages of the development process will be completed as well.\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

Objective (research project)<\/strong>: The objective of this type of project would be to demonstrate research proficiency within an aspect of Software Engineering. The work product would be a reasonably sized written document, which applies or extends what the student has learned in earlier courses or about a subject matter that the student wishes to pursue in further studies. Assessment is done in terms of the written document and oral presentations.<\/span><\/p>

Software Tools<\/strong>: Typical software tools that would be used in the construction of such a system would consist of one or more of the following technologies: Java, C++, VB, Perl, CGI, XML, Web Servers (PWS, IIS, Apache, etc), MS SQL Server, Database (Access, SQL, ADO, ODBC, RDS, etc), ASP, HTML, DHTML, ActiveX, VBScript, JavaScript, UML, etc<\/span><\/p>

A Software Configuration Management (SCM) System<\/span><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Supervisor<\/strong>: MJ Norman (\u00a0mnorman@uwc.ac.za<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>

Prerequisites<\/strong>: Software Engineering 3rd Year, Programming<\/span><\/p>

Project Description<\/strong>: When building computer software (e.g. prototypes) and when it is released (e.g. version status), changes often occur due to the removal of defects and with the addition of new functionality as examples. These changes in software need to be managed and controlled effectively. Software Configuration Management (SCM) is a set of activities designed to control change be identifying a number of parameters, which are relevant e.g. managing different versions. This project will implement these identified activities which will assist software \/ project managers in controlling and managing change.<\/span><\/p>

Outcomes<\/strong>: (Also see generic requirements for each Term on the web site.)<\/span><\/p>
