Course Description

The aim of this course is to introduce some fundamental principles of software engineering discipline and illustrate the application of those principles in the context of the graduation project. Main topics covered are software process models, rapid software development and prototyping, software metrics, risk analysis and management, testing and quality assurance, software estimation techniques, software quality and configuration management.

General Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

Describe principles, concepts and practice of software engineering.
List software engineering metrics
List and explain different testing strategies (Blackbox/whitebox,inspection etc.)
Apply appropriate testing strategy (statement coverage, branch coverage etc.)
List and describe the components of a configuration management system
Explain the software risk management process.
Describe software quality management process
Design a small scale project: requirements document etc.

Teaching Methodology / Classroom Procedures

Each week there are three lecture sessions and one tutorial session.
Class attendance is compulsory.
Students work on a case project as part of a small team.
Each team submits deliverables and presents their work according to the schedule announced on course web site.
Students are encouraged to use internet to search for various related topics.
Lecture notes, assignments, any course related materials and announcements will be posted on the course web site.
Students are required to submit the assigned tasks on time.
