5. Specific course information
a. brief description of the content of the course
This course follows Software Engineering-1 course as it continues the
investigation into software development life cycle to its end. Students will be
exposed to an in-depth coverage of design (architectural design, interface design).
They will be introduced to different approaches to software development (e.g.
Rapid Software Development, Extreme programming, and Component Based
Software Engineering), system integration and validation, verification
(inspections and dynamic testing techniques). This course also introduces
students to the program evolution process, software maintenance, managing the
code, documentation, configuration management, and software quality
management including software measurements and metrics.
