Abstract

This paper presents a large-scale software development course. A number of issues such as closeness to an application domain and executing the software on a real target system is stressed in order to make the course imitate an industrial environment. The experiences from the course are presented. In particular, effort data from the course are presented, both the actual plan made up by the students and the outcome. Furthermore, it is discussed how the data can be used to create an experience base for the future. The objective for the next year is to let the students plan their projects based on the experience base. The experience base will also be the basis to work further with experiences and complement the course with an experience factory.
