Assignment title: Information


Understand the significance of detailed project planning and control, good communication and documentation and the use of appropriate tools in order to provide a quality product  Understand the distinction between software engineering and programming, and thus the distinction between a software configuration and a program.  Understand the methods and techniques involved in designing, implementing and maintaining an information system, in particular using an object-oriented approach  Understand how unit tests are used during software development to assist agile programming techniques such as refactoring  Work together in small teams to complete a fully documented, detailed design and implementation of a small business information system  Demonstrate skills in designing and implementing an information system Assessment Details You are required to logically extend the functionality of the Maze Game introduced during lectures, via the modification of the code base as well as documentation and implementation of various user stories. You will use the Boost methodology discussed during lectures, which requires the use of pair programming. Working individually on programming tasks for this assignment is discouraged and will only be approved when necessitated by circumstances. All documentation, other than the customized game map, must be completed individually. The code base provided for this assignment has already implemented the "warm up" and some "sets". You will be implementing numerous other "sets" for this assignment using the Boost methodology. The "warm down" stage is not required. You are free to take ideas discussed during lectures and implement these in your own version of the code base provided in Moodle for this assignment. This assignment will be marked according to the functionality of your code, in addition to the elegance and extensibility of your design and quality of your documentation
