The goal Introducing students to the basic concepts of software engineering. The course deals with various aspects of the software life cycle: specification, design, implementation, testing, maintenance, elements of project management. Students are involved in a practical project related to cloud computing.
The outcome It is expected that the student upon graduation, be able to: Demonstrate understanding, critical analysis and application of existing theories, models and techniques in the field of software engineering. To gain a sense of teamwork. To understand cloud computing technology and develop cloud applications.
Contents
Contents of lectures Topics include software life cycle models, process specification, design, testing and validation of software maintenance activities, estimates of cost and effort, configuration management and change, evolution and reengineering. Basic concepts and software development for cloud computing.
Contents of exercises Laboratory exercises illustrating some of the concepts and techniques discussed in class. Practical implementation of the project in real software projects through teamwork.
