Software Engineering
Fall'11
1. Objectives
Developing well-documented and reliable software systems with object-oriented methodology
and UML (Unified Modeling Language) notations, including requirements elicitation,
requirements analysis, system design, object design and their documentations with UML; The
requirements analysis leads to the creations of functional model, dynamic model, and analysis
object model. The system design leads to the creation of system design model; The object
design leads to the creation of object design model; Comparing the object-oriented analysis and
design with the structured analysis and design; Software quality assurance.
