Upon successful completion of this course the student will be to

- understand the importance of software engineering to
computer science and the most important general approaches
to structuring the software production process,
- analyze the requirements for a software system and produce
a software design from requirements (Data Flow Diagram,
DFD),
- assess software productivity using metrics, use different
testing techniques used in software engineering to test
software systems,
- manage the important issues for planning a project, estimating
the productivity (function points, FP),
- estimating the cost of a project (COCOMO), controlling a
project (Gantt and Pert charts),
- managing the risk of a project (risk metrics) and supporting
the software engineering process at both the group and
individual level,
- appreciate the benefits and difficulties of performing software
engineering in a group, including the development of
requirements and design documents and interaction with a
client
