What you'll learn

  • Familiarize the Software Life Cycle Models and Software Development Process
  • identify the process of project life cycle model and process
  • Illustrate the various techniques for requirements, planning and managing a technology project.
  • Analyze and translate end-user requirements into system and software requirements

Course content

1 section • 9 lectures • 1h 58m total length

  • Introduction14:33

    Identify customer requirements, design and develop high-quality software, and drive testing and maintenance through the five phases: communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment, with risk management and feedback.

  • Difference between Smaller vs Bigger Project15:35

    Explore process flows—linear, iterative, evolutionary, and parallel—in software engineering and how smaller vs bigger projects differ in requirements, stakeholders, and risk management.

  • Process Models- Waterfall and V Model14:25

    Explore the waterfall and V-model process models, outlining five activity steps—communication, planning, modeling, construction, deployment—and how linear and V-shaped approaches guide requirements, design, and testing.

  • Process Models- Incremental and Quick fix Prototyping Model15:17

    Learn the incremental model, delivering modules in parallel with continuous planning and communication, and use prototypes for quick toy implementations to refine requirements before full development.

  • Spiral Model Drawbacks12:15

    Examine the spiral model's drawbacks (long delivery times, frequent risk assessments, and uncertain cycles); contrast with agile, and review inception to transition phases for software projects.

  • Agility12:45

    Agility combines incremental and iterative models to deliver rapid software with effective stakeholder collaboration, covering Kanban, Scrum, XP planning, user stories, acceptance criteria, pair programming, and sprint ceremonies.

  • Project Initiation8:18

    Explore project initiation, scope definition, and the business case template to assess feasibility, draft the project charter, identify stakeholders, and plan the project lifecycle.

  • Requirements13:19

    Explore requirement engineering, including feasibility study, requirement gathering, abstraction, and SRS, and analyze functional and non-functional requirements within a Scrum-driven process.

  • Software Specification11:36

    Explore software requirement specification (SRS) concepts, including functional and non-functional requirements, domain requirements, natural and structured language, design description language, data flow, and pseudocode, plus elicitation and priority-driven stakeholder negotiations.

Requirements

  • No programming experience is needed

Description

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that deals with the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications. Software engineers apply engineering principles and knowledge of programming languages to build software solutions for end users.

Software engineers design and develop computer games, business applications, operating systems, network control systems, and middleware—to name just a few of the many career paths available.

A career as a software engineer can be both fun and challenging with opportunities to work in almost any industry, including large and small businesses, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare facilities, and more. And as technology continues to evolve, the need for software developers continues to grow. Many companies are also shifting towards hiring software engineers who work from home, allowing for increased flexibility and more opportunities to enter the field.

Career opportunities in software engineering are driven by new technologies in automobiles, aviation, data management, telecommunications, factory control, robotics, defense, and security. Software engineers may develop computer games, business applications, operating systems, network control systems, and more. A bachelor's degree or higher is often required to work as a software engineer.

Applications developers design computer applications, such as games, for consumers. They may create custom software for a specific customer or commercial software to be sold to the general public. Some applications developers create databases or programs for use internally or online.

Systems developers create operating systems, either for the public or for an organization. These operating systems keep computers functioning and control most of the consumer electronics in use today, including those in cell phones and cars. Often, systems developers also build the interface that allows users to interact with the computer.
