DAT255 | Software Engineering Project

DAT255 is a Java library. DAT255 has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However DAT255 build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

The course consists of two phases. The first phase consists of three weeks and is used to introduce the course topics through lectures and exercises. During the first week the students form a scrum development team. The second phase consists of six weeks and centres around weekly supervision. During this phase the teams work together to develop applications for a specific purpose. Through guest lectures the students are given the opportunity to reflect on how their own work relates to what professional software engineers do and to put their own experiences into a bigger picture. The second phase finishes with a final presentation the week for the examination week. The examination week can be used for writing the final reflection. The majority of the course work is done in project teams. The topic this time is within maritime IT and the case is to tailor a generic app for the specific needs and wishes of one of the actors operating in a port. The existing application can be found both on Google Play and the App Store. There is also a description of how to configure and use the app. The source code of the app can be forked from the github repo. There is a sandboxed backend, that you can use for storing and retrieving data during the course. To give you an initial idea of the needs and wishes of the actors there is a scenario that describes typical port operations and their dependencies. The aim is to have ten teams so you will be approximately eight students per team.
