Course Objective

To cover the underlying concepts and techniques used in Software Engineering and to understand the modern way of Software development using Agile methodology.

Course Outcome

["Describe the Fundamentals of software Engineering.", "Understand Software Development Life Cycle phases and their Role in Software Development.", "Understand the Software development using Agile methodology.", "Understand the implementation principles and guidelines for software development using Agile methodology.", "Use implementation techniques of Software architecture for effective software development.", "Apply core values and principles of Agile for enterprise application development."]

Practicals

  • Lab work

    Lab work should include a running case study problem for which different deliverables set at the end of each phase of a software development life cycle are to be developed. This will include modeling the requirements, analysis, detailed design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Subsequently the design models will be coded and tested. For modeling, Open Source tools like StarUML and Licensed Tools like Rational Rose products. For coding and testing, IDE like Eclipse, Net Beans, and Visual Studio can be used.
