Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Analyse the web needs of an enterprise, and produce a plan for an appropriate web-based software system.
2. Build a professional quality web-based software system appropriate for the organisation, under the direction of supervisors but demonstrating self-discipline, organisation and initiative.
3. Demonstrate an ablity to independently apply the key achievements of their degree studies.
4. Produce a critical appraisal of their work, evaluating all aspects of their approach.
Brief description
Students will perform and document the analysis, design, prototyping and development needed to produce a web site or web-based software system approprate for a professional enterprise.
Content
They will
- Produce an analysis of the web needs of the enterprise.
- Provide a breakdown of the planned structure of the web-based software system.
- Perform an analysis of the necessary data structures. This should be complex enough to need to be database-backed.
- Produce several non-functional prototypes of the web-based software system, assess their suitability against web guidelines and perform user evaluation of the prototypes.
- Implement the chosen version of the web-based software system.
- Perform a useability evaluation with a number of users on the final system. The project will be structured so that these things happen in a logical order, with deliverables through the term. The design and development work will be supported by weekly workshops that stress the topics that have already been covered in the course (such as User Interface Design, Security, Web Tools, Database Design, and System Testing) that support the work being done at that stage of the project, and make clear the nature of the expected deliverables.
