Course Description : 

Successful software development depends on an in-depth understanding of how the phases and supporting activities of the software development life cycle work together. Each phase of the life cycle contributes to a reliable, maintainable product that satisfies user requirements. The application of good engineering practices throughout the cycle dramatically improves the likelihood of delivering a quality software project on time, in scope and within budget. While there are many rigorous methodologies, in fact most approaches and tools have a mixture of strengths and weaknesses.

The main objectives of the course are as follows:

  • Describe and compare various software development methods and understand the context in which each approach might be applicable.
  • Develop students’ critical skills to distinguish sound development practices from ad hoc practices, judge which technique would be most appropriate for solving large-scale software problems, and articulate the benefits of applying sound practices.
  • Expand students’ familiarity with mainstream languages used to model and analyse object designs (e.g., UML).
