General Information

Title Introduction to Software Engineering Processes (SEP1)
Version Info Version 1 , submitted by pmm on 5/29/2003 at 12:00 AM
View Revision History
Module Identifier pmm.2003.2
Abstract This module is designed to introduce students to the basic concepts of software engineering processes. Through reading, research, reporting and class discussion, students learn about software engineering processes - what they are, their value, and how to define and measure a simple process.
Size Lecture: 90 min (lecture slides; discussion of exercise)
Exercise: 4 hours
Comments This module is designed for use with first or second year students in computing (computer engineering, computer science, information systems, information technology, software engineering).

SEEK Categories

  1. Process concepts (PRO.con)
  2. Process implementation (PRO.imp)

Authors

Prerequisites

  1. Students should have written four or five computer programs.
  2. They should be enrolled in or have completed an introductory programming course.
  3. They should have had some introduction to the software engineering discipline, similar to the content of module OSE1.

Learning Objectives

  1. Knowledge - List and describe several software development models (e.g., waterfall, spiral, incremental).
  2. Knowledge - Discuss the term "software process", citing examples of different software processes and their use.
  3. Comprehension - Describe the value of software processes in software development and the central issues with their implementation and use.
  4. Application - Define a simple process, along with appropriate process measures.

Topics

  1. Software development models
  2. Basics of software processes
  3. CMM-type processes
  4. Agile processes
