Overview

In this course the student will learn about the methods, tools and procedures of software engineering. Methods covered include a wide range of activities such as project planning, system and software requirements analysis, design, development, configuration management, testing, documentation and maintenance of software. Industry standard system modelling and specification notations will be used throughout the course. Students will be assessed based on the competence of applying the software engineering methods and procedures, as well as the documentation tools.

Course learning outcomes

  1. Analyse requirements and create specifications using graphical system description languages for clients and developers;
  2. Evaluate and apply methods for planning and managing large software projects, including design, development, and maintenance methods;
  3. Plan, design, manage, execute, and report on testware including test cases and test scripts, using appropriate testing tools and techniques, to measure and improve software quality;
  4. Competently use documentation tools to support effective collaboration.
