Software Engineering Assignment 1 & 2
Research Paper (30% of the Final Assessment)
Objectives
The main objective of this individual assignment 1 and 2 is to give
you the opportunity to pursue a general topic of interest within
Software Engineering in order to develop and express a perspective
on the discipline, its subject matter and practice.
Topics
Assignment 1: Software Development Methodology
You are required to find and study the latest and the most often used
software development methodology. Once you have determined the
methodology to be discussed, you must find relevant resources prior
to writing your essay.
Assignment 2: Software Cost Estimation
Cost Estimation is one of the most difficult task that must be done
during the beginning of any software development project. Your
job is to find out the latest and most often cost estimation technique
that might be used for a software project development.
Resources
Resources might be obtained from the Software Engineering text
books and / or research papers downloaded from the internet. You
are required to obtain at least five different but relevant sources
prior to writing the essay.
Deliverables
You are required to submit an essay of approximately 2500 words in
length for each assignment. Both your essay and the research paper
resources (softcopy) should be submitted in a CD-R.
