/Programutvecklingsmetodik/

For:   I   Ii   SEM  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 98
Rec. self-study hours: 222

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Computer Engineering, Computer Science
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The purpose of the course is that the students shall acquire good knowledge in large-scale software engineering. After the course the students shall be able to:
  • explain and exemplify basic concepts in the area of large-scale software engineering
  • specify, model, implement and test a smaller software system
  • define, plan and execute a development project in a group of 6-8 students
  • elicit, analyze and document experience from the own development project
  • use basic functions from a selection of tools used in software industry


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic programming experience in Java. Basic knowledge in object-orientation, algorithms, data structures and databases.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
The course contains lectures, seminars and practical exercises. The lectures focus on the theoretical parts of software development, with examples from industry and research. The course is organized around a project which will give students practical experience in the different steps in a development process: feasibility study, requirements specification, design, implementation and testing. The course runs the entire semester. The seminars give the students an opportunity to train presentation technique and share plans and experience from the project work. The labs are carried out in groups of two students and give basic training in a selection of tools suitable for the project work.
Course contents:
The following subjects are covered in the lectures:
  • The software life-cycle with methods and techniques.
  • Management of the software development process.
  • Quality assurance with reviews and testing.
  • Software maintenance.
  • Unified Modelling Language (UML).
