Course content

1 section • 5 lectures • 1h 31m total length

Software Construction13:09
Explore software construction as turning design into code, covering coding standards, unit and integration testing, walkthroughs, code reviews, and final inspection for reliable, maintainable deployment.
Coding Frameworks28:50
Explore coding frameworks for software construction, including structured programming, object oriented programming, automatic code generation, test driven development, and pair programming, with modularity, maintainability, agility, scrum, and rigorous testing.
Testing13:09
Explore unit, integration, system, end-to-end, and acceptance testing, then examine alpha and beta testing, performance, compatibility, usability, and regression testing to ensure clean releases.
Software Release32:01
Explore software release fundamentals, including alpha, beta, internal, and normal releases, and master risk management—identification, analysis, planning, monitoring, mitigation, and maintenance—to ensure bug-free product delivery to customers.
Recap3:54
This overview introduces software construction, testing, and the role of process models. Explore unit to system testing, various integration approaches, and alpha to normal releases with deployment and risk management.

Requirements

No programming experience is needed

Description

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and practices of software engineering, focusing on the systematic design, development, and maintenance of software applications. The course covers the entire software development lifecycle, from requirement gathering and analysis through to design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Students will learn both theoretical concepts and practical techniques that can be applied in real-world software development projects.

Testing and Quality Assurance:

Types of software testing: Unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing.
Automation tools and frameworks for testing.
Debugging and troubleshooting techniques.
1. Software Maintenance:
  - Types of software maintenance: Corrective, adaptive, perfective, and preventive.
  - Managing software evolution and technical debt.
2. Project Management and Team Collaboration:
  - Agile methodologies: Scrum, Kanban, and Lean.
  - Managing software projects: Time estimation, risk management, and resource allocation.
  - Team dynamics and communication in software engineering.
3. Security and Ethical Considerations:
  - Secure coding practices.
  - Privacy, security, and legal considerations in software development.
  - Ethical issues in software engineering.
    Prerequisites:
    - Basic programming knowledge in languages such as Java, Python, or C++.
    - Understanding of data structures and algorithms.
    Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
    - Understand and apply the principles of software engineering.
    - Develop and maintain large-scale software systems.
    - Collaborate effectively in teams to produce high-quality software.
    - Design, implement, test, and deploy software applications.
    - Recognize and address ethical, security, and legal issues in software development.
