Overview
This unit provides an introduction to the discipline of software engineering at the postgraduate level. The emphasis is upon a broad coverage of various aspects of software engineering. We assume the students will at this stage have adequate programming skills and are able to put theories to practice. The notion of a software system as a model or approximation of a desired system is introduced, and used as a way of describing such things as the software life cycle and its various models, programming by contract, design and testing issues, maintenance, reuse, complexity, divide and conquer strategies, metrics and measurement, project management and software legacy.
Offerings in 2020
The 2020 handbook lists no offerings for ITO5136.
Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Describe the breadth and nature of the software engineering process and distinguish various phases of the process;
- 2
Create and develop the required artefacts during each phase of the software engineering process;
- 3
Differentiate and evaluate the software engineering techniques used to produce the artefacts;
- 4
Assess the issues in constructing large software systems from its components, and the nature and design of these components;
- 5
Employ group working skills in solving software development problems; and
- 6
Analyse and evaluate IT-related scenarios with reference to the software engineering code of ethics and professional practice.
