Cardiff School of Computer Science and Informatics

Coursework Assessment Pro-forma


Module Code: CMT313

Module Title: Software Engineering

Lecturer: Dr Usashi Chatterjee, Annelies Gibson

Assessment Title: Individual portfolio

Assessment Number: 3 of 3

Date Set: 19/02/2024

Submission Date and Time: Spring Week-11, May 2nd, 2024 at 9:30am

Feedback return date: 5th June, 2024


If you have been granted an extension for Extenuating Circumstances, then the submission deadline and return date will be later than that stated above. You will be advised of your revised submission deadline when/if your extension is approved.

If you defer an Autumn or Spring semester assessment, you may fail a module and have to resit the failed or deferred components.

If you have been granted a deferral for Extenuating Circumstances, then you will be assessed in the next scheduled assessment period in which assessment for this module is carried out.  

If you have deferred an Autumn or Spring assessment and are eligible to undertake summer resits, you will complete the deferred assessment in the summer resit period.  

If you are required to repeat the year or have deferred an assessment in the resit period, you will complete the assessment in the next academic year.

As a general rule, students can only resit 60 failed credits in the summer assessment period (see section 3.4 of the academic regulations).  Those with more than 60 failed credits (and no more than 100 credits for undergraduate programmes and 105 credits for postgraduate programmes) will be required to repeat the year.  There are some exceptions to this rule and they are applied on a case-by-case basis at the exam board.

If you are an MSc student, please note that deferring assessments may impact the start date of your dissertation.  This is because you must pass all taught modules before you can begin your dissertation.  If you are an overseas student, any delay may have consequences for your visa, especially if it is your intention to apply for a post study work visa after the completion of your programme.

NOTE: The summer resit period is short and support from staff will be minimal. Therefore, if the number of assessments is high, this can be an intense period of work.

This assignment is worth 40% of the total marks available for this module. If coursework is submitted late (and where there are no extenuating circumstances):

1 If the assessment is submitted no later than 24 hours after the deadline, the mark for the assessment will be capped at the minimum pass mark;

2 If the assessment is submitted more than 24 hours after the deadline, a mark of 0 will be given for the assessment.

Extensions to the coursework submission date can only be requested using the Extenuating Circumstances procedure. Only students with approved extenuating circumstances may use the extenuating circumstances submission deadline. Any coursework submitted after the initial submission deadline without *approved* extenuating circumstances will be treated as late.  

More information on the extenuating circumstances procedure and academic regulations can be found on the Student Intranet:  

By submitting this assignment you are accepting the terms of the following declaration:  

I hereby declare that my submission (or my contribution to it in the case of group submissions) is all my own work, that it has not previously been submitted for assessment and that I have not knowingly allowed it to be copied by another student. I declare that I have not made unauthorised use of AI chatbots or tools to complete this work, except where permitted.  I understand that deceiving or attempting to deceive examiners by passing off the work of another writer, as one’s own is plagiarism. I also understand that plagiarising another’s work or knowingly allowing another student to plagiarise from my work is against the University regulations and that doing so will result in loss of marks and possible disciplinary proceedings1.  

Assignment


This Individual portfolio will be made up of the work undertaken during the module in both the Autumn and the Spring Semester. There will be specified opportunities for you and the team you are working with to demonstrate the software being developed to the teaching team. This document must be read in alongside AAT Prototype Features and Mark Scheme


INTRODUCTION

CMT313: Software Engineering is assessed through coursework that is developed as part of a software development project carried out in teams normally of six or seven members. Although this assessment is individual you are expected to complete tasks as part of a team. Working successfully in your team has significant potential to improve the material in this individual portfolio.


Your team should meet regularly outside the scheduled meetings without the module leader (flexible meeting).


Non-participation of Team Members

If your team believes that someone is not contributing then you should email Annelies Gibson (gibsona3@cardiff.ac.uk)  as soon as possible so that she can investigate further. It is also important that anyone who is having difficulty contacting their team or has any other issues that are affecting their ability to work with the team informs as soon as possible.



Some important advice:


Your team will need to split up the system into appropriate features / modules which can be allocated to team members to develop. Requirements that need more complicated functionality or complex interfaces can be split. However, each team member should take lead responsibility for the development and testing of one requirement. Make sure your team manages the dependencies. If core functionality is required which is needed by other parts of the prototype, you will need to work closely together. Ensure each team member clearly understands what they are developing and how this relates to the work of others.


You need to demonstrate a working prototype. It is a good idea to develop your code in small chunks, integrate and test this frequently, reducing the amount of code to check through if it stops working. You are expected to use GitLab when developing the prototype with your Team.



Portfolio Deliverables

Your individual portfolio should include the following components:


Task 1 - Test Cases (ONE TEST CASE only)


Although this is an individual portfolio the test case handed in by each member of your team MUST be for a different main requirement. You can refer to the AAT Prototype Features and Mark Scheme sheet attached for the main requirements. Each test case should be presented using the test case template supplied in the lecture notes:


Create ONE test case that a user can follow to validate that your prototype meets ONE of the main requirements. Each Test Case should have a clear procedure, and input Data that can be followed by a tester to carry out the essential steps for the basic flow and a clear indication of the outputs that your prototype should give in response to the tester’s actions. (You can also provide wireframe diagrams to help them carry out the tests.  These will be used to help determine if you have provided sufficient information in your test case to cover the essential steps for each requirement.)


Task 2 - Developing the prototype (700 words limit)

Explain and evaluate the effectiveness of your team whilst developing the prototype. This section should consider the project management and development methodologies your team used alongside team dynamics covered in the module. (Artifacts such as - charts, and boards appropriate to the methodology used can be included in an appendix of 3 pages max)


Task 3 – Video & Quality Criteria – Walk through demonstration, including software quality criteria of the elements of the prototype you developed.  


Make a video (Maximum of 5-minutes) with narrative that runs through the working functionality of the prototype that you developed, This video should.

oclearly showing how your section integrates with other related sections of the prototype.

oAs part of the demonstration highlight TWO examples of how and where your part of the final product took into consideration software quality criteria (e.g. usability, reliability, integrity, maintainability, testability, and flexibility).

oHighlight any extra features or interesting functionality that were successfully implemented.


Task 4 – Peer and Self-assessment (use form provided, max 1 page per student)


Looking back at your experience having undertaken the team exercise for module CMT313 Software Engineering during the Spring semester, complete a peer/self- assessment for each member of your team including yourself.

Support for assessment


The module teaching team will usually arrange progress meetings with each team during the Semester. These progress meetings will be an opportunity for the team to review how well they are working as a team and the associated deliverables.  Team members will also have an opportunity to raise any questions or concerns they may have about the assessment tasks.  


Questions about the assessment can be asked in the ‘FORUM for questions and discussion’ channel of the module’s team on Microsoft Teams , or during the contact sessions in Spring Weeks 6 - 10.

Criteria for Assessment


Task 1 – Test Case  20%


Distinction

14 -20The test case covers all essential steps in the basic flow that are relevant for validating whether the prototype has met the main requirement.

All steps in the test case clearly provide the information required to carry out a procedure using appropriate input test data with a clear indication of the outputs that the user should expect to see in response to their actions.


Merit

12 - 13The test case covers most essential steps in the basic flow that are relevant for validating whether the prototype has met the main requirement.

Most steps in the test case provide appropriate information to carry out a procedure using appropriate input test data with an indication of the outputs that the user should expect to see in response to their actions.


Pass

10-11The test case provides some reasonable steps for validating whether the prototype has met the main requirement

The test case gives the user a reasonable indication of how to carry out the test and gives some indication of the expected outputs, but provides not actual input test data.

There are some mis-understanding in how the test case template should be filled in.


Fail

0-9Steps provided (if any) give little confidence that the main requirement can be validated.

Gives little or no indication of how to carry out test or what outputs to expect.

Appropriate template not used. Most of the sections completed incorrectly.
