Software Engineering Principles (3 credits)

Engineering approach to the development of large programming projects. Successive steps of


requirements analysis, specification, design, coding, debugging and testing, maintenance, and
thorough
documentation, as illustrated by examples and papers from current scientific literatures.
In this course following subjects would be covered:
System Engineering
Before Software can be engineered the “System” in which it resides must be understood. To
accomplish this, the overall objectives of the system should be identified. People, database,
procedures, and other system elements should be specified. These activities and many more
are
gathered under umbrella of System Engineering that will be studied in this section.

Analysis Concepts and Principle
The overall role of software is identified during system engineering. But to build high-quality
software that accomplishes customer’s requirements needs more comprehensive knowledge of
their demands. This is the job of software requirements analysis. To perform the job following a
set of understanding and concepts are necessary.
Design Concept and Principles
Design is a meaningful engineering representation of something that is to be built. It can be
traced
to a customer’s requirements and at the same time assessed for quality against a set of
predefined
criteria for “good” design. In this section the concepts and principles of designing a software
studies.
Architectural Design
Architectural design represents the structure of data and program components that are required
to
build a computer-based system. It considers are architectural style that the system will take,
the
structure and properties of the components that constitute the system, and the interrelationship
that occur among all architectural components of a system.
User Interface Design
User interface design creates an effective communication medium between a human and a
computer. Following a set of interfaces design principles, design identifies interface objects and
actions and then creates a screen layout that forms the basis for a user interface prototype. In
this
section we emphasize on the concepts and principles for user interface design as well as ways
to
make users will more friendly while working with the system.
Software Testing Techniques
Once source code has been generated, software must be tested to correct as many errors as
possible before delivery of to the customer. In this section we will present techniques to design
a
series of test cases that have a high likelihood of finding errors.
Introduction to Rational Unified Process
The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a well-defined and well-structured software engineering
process. It clearly defines who is responsible for what, how things are done, and when to deal
them. RUP is a well-known Software engineering process framework that comprises many
software development best practices, harvested by many contributors, over many years of
experience, in a wide variety of situations. It provides a disciplined approach to assigning and
managing tasks and responsibilities in a software development organization. In this section we
will
cover this approach by presenting concepts and principles as well as case study projects. This
section will prepare students to get participated in real software development industries around
the globe.
