Updated on: 26-11-2024 The software development lifecycle is an integrated process that promotes building
good quality, secure software throughout the entire development process. The aim of
this unit is to give students the knowledge and skills needed to understand software
development lifecycles so that they can demonstrate their knowledge by
implementing a software development lifecycle with a suitable methodology.
The unit introduces students to lifecycle decision making at different stages of the
software development process. They will examine various lifecycle models and learn
to appreciate their particular characteristics in order to understand for which project
environments they are most appropriate. Theoretical understanding will be translated
into practical skills through an actual software development lifecycle project. Students
will become confident in the use of particular tools and techniques relevant to a
chosen methodology.
Among the topics included in this unit are iterative and sequential models of software
development lifecycles and reference frameworks for initially capturing conceptual
data and information through a feasibility study, and requirement gathering
techniques through to analysis, design and software implementation activities.
Students will develop skills such as communication literacy, critical thinking, analysis,
reasoning and interpretation, which are crucial for gaining employment and
developing academic competence

Updated on: 29-04-2024 The computer games industry has been growing year on year and has become a multi-billion industry. With the prevalence of computing devices, games consoles and mobile devices, this growth shows no sign of slowing. Many computer games are vast productions involving a range of people such as programmers, graphical artists, animators, level designers, actors and directors. As a games developer, you will analyse the needs of a client and understand the potential and limitations of different gaming solutions. In this unit, you will investigate the technologies used in the computer gaming industry and the implications they have for users, developers and organisations. You will analyse how user needs and preferences impact on game design and how target technologies affect the design and development of a computer game. Finally, you will design, create and review a computer game to meet requirements and reflect on the skills and understanding applied during the design and development process. You will apply analytical skills that would be used by any software developer to investigate the available technologies and current trends in order to design and develop appropriate software solutions. The skills you gain through this unit will benefit you as you progress to employment in the computer gaming industry, for example in computer games developer and software developer roles.
