OBJECTIVE:
To impart concepts of a comprehensive study on the theories, processes, methods, and techniques of building high-quality software in cost-effective ways.
Introductory concepts – The evolving role of software – Its characteristics, components and applications- A layered technology – the software process – Software process models - Software process and project metrics – Measures, Metrics and Indicators- ethics for software engineers.
Software Project Planning – Project planning objectives – Project estimation – Decomposition techniques – Empirical estimation models - System Engineering- Risk management.
Analysis and Design – Design concept and Principles, Methods for traditional, Real time of object oriented systems – Comparisons – Metrics- Quality assurance
Testing fundamentals – Test case design – White box testing – Basis path testing – Control structure testing – Black box testing – Strategies: Unit testing integration testing – Validation Testing – System testing – Art of debugging – Metrics, Testing tools.
Formal Methods Clean-room Software Engineering – Software reuse – Reengineering – Reverse Engineering – standards for industry
