CSIS 643 - Software Design

CSIS 643 Discussion Board Forums (4)

Discussion boards are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. Each thread must be at least 400 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. In addition to the thread, the student is required to reply to the threads of at least 2 classmates. Each reply must be at least 200 words. Each thread and reply must include at least 1 citation in current APA format.

CSIS 643 Project

Throughout the course, the student will architect and program a software application utilizing object-oriented techniques and graphical user interfaces using Java. This project will be completed in the following steps:

Architecture Part 1

The student will write a 10–12-page (approximately 300 words per page) paper in current APA format that describes the business case and architecturally significant requirements for the project. The paper must include at least 10 scholarly articles as references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible.

Architecture Part 2

The student will write a 6–8-page (approximately 300 words per page) paper (not including models) in current APA format that describes and justifies the complete architecture and design decisions for the project. Architecture Part 2 must include at least 15 fully developed models of at least 8 different types. The paper must include at least 6 scholarly articles as references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible.

The student will add Architecture Part 1 to Architecture Part 2 to create the Architecture Part 2 submission. The final submission will be 16–20 pages (not including models) and contain at least 15 models and at least 16 scholarly articles as references.

Implementation

This step will display the student’s completed software application, the culmination of the software design and architecture process. The student will submit his or her Java source code and the architecture.

CSIS 643 Utility Tree Analysis

The student will complete an interactive activity in which he or she will be given a set of architecturally significant requirements (ASR) to evaluate in terms of business value and quality attributes.

CSIS 643 Peer Evaluation

The student will provide a reflection thread of at least 400 words and an attachment of his or her final project. In addition to the thread, the student will conduct a peer review of the projects of least 2 classmates. Each peer review must be at least 200 words.
