The University of New England is the only Australian public university to be awarded the maximum 5 stars for Overall Experience by the Good Universities Guide, 13 years in a row. UNE has delivered distance education since 1955—that’s longer than any other Australian university. Perhaps that’s why students continue to rate UNE so highly for student satisfaction and teaching quality. With over 170 degrees offered online, and more than 20,000 online students, UNE is the expert in online education.

Description

Modern software development is highly collaborative. Teams of developers work together to take software from conception into production, and continue to evolve and develop the software based on feedback from its use. This introduces a number of engineering challenges, as the teams must ensure that the program works and is well designed even while its design and code are being modified by many people at once. Many of the software engineering practices and tool chains that are core to a developer's work are designed to support this collaborative nature of programming.

In this subject, students work in teams to develop different features of a class-wide development project, to learn how software engineers design, build, deploy, and modify large programs together. The project introduces continuous integration, deployment, and delivery practices, as well as lean and agile software development.
