Assessment
The assessed coursework for this course is a single group exercise which is to produce a software product which is a plug-in for the Eclipse extensible development environment. The purpose of the plug-in is to connect models expressed in the UML modelling language to formal analysers. The plug-in is to be presented from a Web site together with demonstration examples and tutorials. |

| Syllabus |
In this practical exercise students will:
* Research model-driven development, rich-client development, the Eclipse platform and the Eclipse Modelling Framework.
* Design and implement a software product which connects UML modelling tools to analysis tools such as performance or static analysers.
* Collaborate to produce a polished, well-presented product incorporating a thorough test suite.
* Document the system using both developer-focused JavaDoc and user-focused Web tutorials.
* Design and implement a Web site of static HTML content describing the software product.
