Description
This course provides an introduction to the software engineering tools and practices - a look at a typical approach software engineers use to create applications in practice. Topics include requirements analysis, high-level design, detail-level design, UML modeling, code generation, application building, and revision management. Laboratory assignments provide an opportunity for students to develop an understanding of these tools and how they are used in actual practice.

- generate source code from UML design models, and synchronize subsequent changes
- create user interfaces using a visual design tool
- maintain source code and related design documents in a revision control system
- create a deployable software package using an automated build tool
- track software defects using a change management system
- be able to create an installable software package using an automated build tool
