Presentation Day..

Assalamualaikum..

We had a presentation day and our group was the first group to present today. Out of 11 groups, we were chosen by a draw. As the first group to present, of course our group leader and also the presenter, Luqman was a bit nervous in the beginning of the presentation. By the way, Ridhwan was helping Luqman to view the blog.

Basically, Luqman explained why we choose c2dteam as our grop’s name and why blue template was chosen as our background and about the other information in our blog such as the Lecture’s Info, Calendar, Our Links, Shout Box and Blog Archive. In addition, Ridhwan explained about the new banner and why we use the banner.

At the end of the presentation, Puan Badariah asked why we choose blogspot.com. As a smart presenter, Luqman managed to answer the question by saying that among all of the group members, we are more familiar with blogspot and blogspot is so famous and easy to use. At the same time, students were allowed to ask questions during the presentation but nobody asks us about our blog. So, I guess our blog is superb enough hehe..

Actually, every group was given 10 minutes to present and for me all groups present well today and I really enjoy all the presentation by other groups. What can I say is, all of us did a very good job today. So, congratulations and keep it up guys!

The Classic

Assalamu'alaikum wbt and hello everybody ...

For the upcoming project, our group picked the "Classic" Waterfall model in order to accomplished the project. There were groups that also choose this kind of model too, but they combined in with other model such as waterfall combined with prototype.

But for our group, we choose the "Classic" Waterfall model because some of us had the experience using this model and we understand this model better than other models. We choose to "understand the requirements before start the project" rather than "try and error".

Luqman - Tomorrow is the presentation day.

Key Challenges Facing Software Engineering

1. Coping with legacy systems, coping with increasing diversity and coping with demands for delivery times.
2. Legacy systems - old, valuable systems must be maintained and updated.
3. Heterogeneity - systems are distributed and includes a mix of hardware and software
4. Delivery - there is increasing pressure for faster delivery of software.
   

New Interface~

Assalamualaikum again~
Well, as you all can see we have decided to change our blog template. We all cahange because its look more attractive and its more profesional then the previous templet.

Wonderful week

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone…

For today class, first of all Puan Badariah remind us about our blog presentation nextweek and told us to be prepare enough and pick one good presenter to represent each group. After that, we learn about Spiral Model and Agile Methods which is still in Chapter 2 like last week. Puan Badariah asked question to us about what “risk” means.

Next, Puan Badariah asks us to sit in our group and discuss about what Model to be use in our project later on. After 10 minutes discussion, we all decided to pick Waterfall Model for our group project. In addition, each group got to do a simple presentation about why we choose that Model and gladly, Puan Badariah praised our group for a good reasons outcome.

Class dismisses.

How’s your life going on…hope all of you are in a good condition and happy always…today all of us busy read the notes that Puan Badariah told us to read because tomorrow she will ask us about it. Our group members reminded each other to read the notes. Hope all of us can answer the question from our lecturer. That’s all for now because I’m going to continue read the notes…

Study and study and study!

Aloha..

Firstly, today’s class starts as usual and as what we guess, we learnt about Software Development Process Models. Well, today we had covered about Waterfall Model, V Model, Prototyping Model, Operational Specification Model, Transformational Model and Increments and Iterations.

So far, we got the ideas on how to relate the process models in the next coming project. Actually, today’s class was a bit boring because everyone doesn’t really response to what Puan Badariah asked during the class.

Lastly, at the end of the class, we were asked to prepare for the next class. So, let’s start to study about Spiral Model and Agile Methods. Good Luck guys! :)

Adios..

Prepare

Assalamu'alaikum w.b.t and haii everyone...

This week is the week when the lab already started (for some courses), assignment will be given and quiz will appear. So, let us prepare ourselves for all of that.

Luqman - Miss one quiz just now. Huhu ....

FAQs about Software Engineering

Here, i would like to share some info about software engineering....

• Roughly 60% of costs are development costs, 40% are testing costs. For custom software, evolution costs often exceed development costs.

• Cost vary depending on the type of system being developed and requirements of the system attributes such as performance and system reliability.

• Distribution of cost depends on the development model that is used.

Wanted more information... Stay tuned at the same place and same time....hehehhee

Banners in progress

Welcome to our blog

Assalamualaikum and hye …

First and foremost, today is our fourth class with Puan Badariah. Same like the other three classes before this, Puan Badariah remind us not to wear jeans in her class and the feature of proper attire for students.

Puan Badariah also viewed the first three blogs that already submitted to her and of course our group is the first group in her list. Six of us were very glad and happy. Yeay yeay horay!! =D She also said that our group began with good performance so far. About the blog project, Puan Badariah reminds us to limit our receive comments from an anonymous to prevent any nasty comments. After Puan Badariah viewed all three blogs, she mentioned again how beneficial we are if we starts any work earlier. And the most important is, she stated that she hate ORANGE very-very much!!!

We learn about Chapter 2 (Modelling the Process and Life Cycle) today. Some of the content is what we should do if there is no suitable web to park our blog and also the requirement for process and constraints. When the class almost finish, Puan Badariah asked questions to us, definitely to help us in the subject.

Second Meeting (“,)
Date and Time : 19 July 2007 , 12.30pm – 1.15pm
Venue : COIT Level 1

We had our second meeting and the first thing we discussed if there is any problem in our blog. Our leader Luqmanulhakim asks if we need demonstration to use blog because some of us including me myself are fewer experts in using blog. But we decided to stay there and discuss about our blog interface. Puan Badariah told us before to reduce the size of our logos and we choose Ridhwan to incharge in that. Our leader gave more explanation about post, delete, and edit entries.

In addition, we all plan to create new account of gmail for personal profile in our blog later on. And peripheral things we discussed is about planning to change our blog layout and planning to capture our group photos to be uploaded in the blog. We also have been asked to be active in sending comments to the blog to indicate that our blog is interactive and friendly.

Last but not least, we also decided to appoint a meeting whenever there is a problem only and for today meetings we’re not having enough group members because Afiq’s got matter to deal with.

That’s all for today… There will be a lot of post from others… =D

Greatest blog

Assalamualaikum and good evening to everyone…

Well actually there is nothing I can state here because our group does not have any activity today…but quite early in this morning our group leader Mr.Luqman has sent a sms to tell us that he had changed a little bit about our blog. Anyway don’t worry because everything still in a good condition.

Now our group quite busy in discussing to set a new interface but it does not be decided yet on how the new interface will looks like. Mr.Luqman very serious in conducting this project. So far, we don’t have any critical problem because everyone of our group members give a very good tolerate including our new family member’s Mr.Afiq. Personally, I can say that I’m so lucky to be in this group.

Tomorrow our group will have a meeting to discuss about our project and I belive that our secretary had reminded all of our group members about the meeting. So, to all c2d team members, don’t forget to attempt the meeting and as our group leader remind us to bring along camera to those who have it.

That’s all for today. Hope that our blog will be more success and become the greatest blog in the future..hehehe

Great day!

Assalamualaikum and hello everybody..

First and foremost, today we have class with Puan Badariah but before the class start we went to the lab to view our blog and we decided to update our blog with some extraordinary changes from time to time in order to make it more interactive, fun and interesting to visit.

Today’s class was very great because we were given bonus mark by Puan Badariah because we were the first group who set up the blog. What a surprise! Thanks to Puan Badariah. After this we will work very hard and we will try to put more efforts to gain more bonus marks. :)

At the beginning of the class, our beloved lecturer, Puan Badariah reminds us once again not to wear jeans in class because there were still some students who disobey this rule. Actually, today we have learnt about “What is software engineering” which covered the progress of software from time to time and how we can approach a system and how to know what is a good and quality software. During the class, we were asked lots of questions by our lecturer to make sure we really understand this chapter. Furthermore, we were given a chance to ask questions if we do not understand some part of this chapter. So, at the end of this class, we know how to analyze a problem and how to synthesize a good solution for a problem. Besides, we also understand how to use fundamental software engineering concepts.

In addition, before the class ends, Puan Badariah advised us to find past year’s exam papers and try to do questions which are related to Chapter 1. Moreover, this is a great way to score an “A” for this subject. So we will try to find all those past year’s exam papers and try to do the questions.

Last but not least, after class we met Puan Badariah personally and asked her opinion about our group’s blog project. Finally, we found out that we can improve our blog and impress Puan Badariah by updating our blog regularly. As the result, we will update our blog regularly as what we are supposed to do to come out with fantastic blog!
