Fourth year core unit in Bachelor of S.E. The 4th year unit in BSE provides an opportunity for students to apply the knowledge and skills gained in other units as they synthesize a solution to a significant, realistic and practical problem (SE in the medium/large depending on the size of the project and the group).

Including Lecture/Laboratory/Software Requirements for the unit in Avatar in May 2004

CSE4002 lecture will be in the MUSE (Monash University Software Engineering) Studio Lab from semester 2 2004. Overhead projection facility is required.

Existing equipment:

• 1. MUSE Studio Lab to house ~40 dual boot machines with Windows XP and Linux, with 1 GIG RAM, and 40 MB HD.
• 2. Two Windows 2000 Servers housed in the STRIP Building, Server room, Level 1 with software licence keys etc. Faculty TSU/School CSSE TSU to ensure that the Server is up and running.
• 3. IBM/Rational and Compuware Licence Servers are with the Faculty TSU. Mercury Interactive Licence Key details are on Windows Server 2 box in the STRIP Server room.
• 4. MUSE Portal Server to be housed in the STRIP Building, Server room, Level 1 is a Linux box. Faculty TSU/School CSSE TSU should ensure that the Server is up and running and provide backup facilities on a regular basis.
• 4.1 MUSE Portal Server provides various infrastructure facilities for CSE4002 and CSE4431 such as: Management of student groups, group emails Software Asset management : File management - student work space, Use CVS
• 4.2 MUSE Portal Tracking Service Software which Lecturer uses to set up tracking service for monitoring and measuring student groups' CSE4002 project, which student groups use to record and track their project tasks.

DO NOT Update any software on MUSE Portal without prior consultation with Sita Ramakrishnan as MUSE Portal software system has been built and tested using JDK1.4, OpenORB CORBA, Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.27, postqresql 7.4.2 and so on. Postgresql comes as part of debian, and updating debian may impact MUSEPortal. Needs to be tested before updating for use in CSE4002/CSE4431.

Customised Faculty Teaching Lab Requirement for the MUSE Studio Lab:

Standard faculty teaching lab software installation on the ~40 dual boot Windows XP & Linux machines plus the 3 servers ( Two Windows 2000 & one Linux server) as stated in the Laboratory requirements section.

Since 2003, Faculty TSU manages the licence details for IBM/Rational, Compuware & Mercury Interactive tools. Faculty TSU should negotiate a 12 month licence (Dec to Dec) from Tool vendors such as IBM /Rational and Mercury Interactive to ensure that Faculty TSU Roll out strategy and our teaching commitments are covered without any disruption for any year of study. For instance, we currently have 150 floating licences of Rose Enterprise, TestStudio, XDE.Net, XDE Java and 1 Virtual Tester Pack (100 licences) which sometimes require renewal during semester period). Similar conditions apply for Mercury Interactive tools as well. Note that 2 Concurrent Licences for Compuware testing tools listed below were purchased as part of TestIT Grant. No updates to Compuware testing tools are required.

Two Windows 2000 Servers have TestIT grant related software plus Server 1 runs DB2 & Apache, Websphere appl server. Server 2 has TestDirector, QuickTest Server Sentinel LM, IIS, SQL Server. TestDirector depends on IIS. Two Servers required as software clash occured when Mercury/IBM tools were installed on one server.
