Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

This, the second of our two courses on software engineering, focuses on the software engineering toolkit.

Building on the overview of the software lifecycle provided by the first course, it undertakes an in-depth study of the methodology and practice of software engineering.  Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired a good understanding of the tools and techniques used throughout the software lifecycle from the conception to the installation and maintenance.

 

Customize It!

  • Are you a project manager, analyst, programmer, testing/debugging, or integration specialist and need a better understanding of how your work fits into the software lifecycle?  We can emphasize the phases relevant to your particular needs while also trying to give you a broad understanding of the full lifecycle.
  • Are you involved in certain areas or phases of software development?  The course can be tailored to focus on those areas or phases.
  • Are you interested in particular techniques of software development?  If so, we can emphasize those parts of this course that focus on the areas and tools pertinent to your project or product.
  • Are you involved in the marketing, sales, or post-sales support of software and need a better understanding of how your job fits into the overall software lifecycle?  We can customize the course to focus on those issues.

 

Learn How To

Describe and apply the key concepts and techniques for:

  • Software inception:  Feasibility and estimation.
  • Requirements elicitation and definition.
  • Analysis and different design approaches and patterns.
  • Management of configuration, change, and risk.
  • Joint Application Development (JAD)
  • Prototyping and user interfaces.
  • Object oriented analysis, design, and programming.
  • Coding and testing.
  • Deployment and maintenance.
  • Project management.
  • Verification

 

Audience / Prerequisites
