A Software Engineering practicum module focusing on starting with an existing code basebrownfield team projects...
TIC4002 builds on Software Engineering Practicum ITIC4001 to strengthen your practical SE skills. The focus will be on getting some hands on practice in working with an existing code base.
-
On the theory side, this module relies mostly on the theory covered in TIC2002 and TIC4001, but it will also cover a small number of new topics to help you with the project. As before, this module is supported by a customized online textbook Software Engineering for Self-Directed Learners, integrated into this module website.

The practice side, you will first continue to ramp up your technical skills by improving on the individual project that you did in TIC4001.
Then, you will move to a team project in which you will take over an existing project AddressBook-Level3 (AB3) -- a relatively small yet non-trivial (6 KLoC) generic product -- and enhance it into a better product or evolve it into a different product.
