Software Development Processes and Quality

Catalog description

This course provides the student with a project-oriented practice in software engineering by covering popular process models and the steps associated with these models. Topics covered in this course include software principles, software processes, software design, software project management, and software evolution knowledge units, etc. The student is expected to learn this course through practical programming exercises and software development in a “learning-by-doing” manner, i.e., the student works in teams to develop a significant medium-sized software system using practices covered and recommended in this course. After successful completion of this course, the student is expected to be well-prepared to develop software systems in a collaborative environment or to continue graduate study in related fields.
