Course Objectives The objective of this course is to provide basic foundations of a general engineering discipline to problem solving for computer based applications rather than to focus on specific methods, techniques, and methodologies. Hence, it emphasizes empirical and quantitative methods, analysis and design techniques, project scheduling and management techniques, software testing activities, software documentation details, quality assurance, and other software engineering issues.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Discuss formal methods for the analysis, design and maintenance of software systems Analyse and design quality software
  • Distinguish between different software development methodologies
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of UML model elements.
  • Categorize, summarize, model, and analyse requirements
  • Realize model elements for creating efficient design elements
  • Recall the basics of software project, configuration and risk management
  • Describe different software testing strategies
  • Describe testing strategies for conventional and OO systems
  • Explain software product, process and project metrics
Course Content Introduction to software engineering and related topics; software process and project metrics; project planning; scheduling and tracking; configuration management; software quality assurance; requirement analysis; data flow diagrams and related topics; design concepts and methods; implementation; testing methods and test strategies; object-oriented
