Learning Activity | Propose a New Feature |
In this activity, students will analyze a project to identify a new feature to implement. They will document and propose this new feature to the community. To do so, they will need to learn and follow the coding and communication practices of the project community. |

Learning Activity | Requirements Analysis |
Students will read about software requirements, delve into open source requirements tracking tools in the ManageIQ community (cloud computing), and explain a timeline of how a requirement progressed across the life of a particular feature. |

Learning Activity | Software Design Architecture Comparison |
Students will learn how to introduce themselves to new and foreign open source communities by researching existing software design documents and resources in two large and popular open source projects. Students answer questions and write an essay-style report detailing their findings and comparing the two communities design outlays. |

Learning Activity | Test Driven Development |
Students will follow and implement a beginner level java-based Test Driven Development (TDD) approach with JUnit in the Eclipse IDE. First, they create a test case that fails, then they start creating mock code, and finally a simple piece of code that allows their test to pass. |

Learning Activity | UML a Project |
In this activity students will be assigned parts of an HFOSS project for which they will have to implement UML diagrams. |
