Ada (Trademark) Training Curriculum. Introduction to Software Engineering, M102. Teacher's Guide. Exercises.
Abstract
The purpose of instructor's guide for the exercise is designed to illustrate the use of the engineering goals and principles that we have been discussing. The class is split into four groups: Three with specific goals stated in the exercise, a fourth with no explicit goals. Each of the three groups has a different goal as follows: 1) The user must never fail to build the object, using the documentation (reliability); 2) The user must build the object within five minutes, using the documentation (performance); 3) Once built, the user must be able to tear down and store the pieces, so the object the object can be rebuilt later (maintainability). The exercise is designed to allow the student to discover and experience the ways in which differing goals can change the resulting software. Of course, the viewgraph procedural documentation is analogous to software (I.E. Code). (If a group finishes early, have them document their procedure on an additional viewgraph -- they should present last.)
