AIM
To introduce the methodologies involved in the development and maintenance of software (i.e) over its entire life cycle.

OBJECTIVE
To be aware of
• Different life cycle models
• Requirement dictation process
• Analysis modeling and specification
• Architectural and detailed design methods
• Implementation and testing strategies
• Verification and validation techniques
• Project planning and management
• Use of CASE tools

UNIT I SOFTWARE PROCESS 9
Introduction –S/W Engineering Paradigm – life cycle models (water fall, incremental, spiral, WINWIN spiral, evolutionary, prototyping, object oriented) - system engineering – computer based system – verification – validation – life cycle process – development process –system engineering hierarchy.


UNIT II SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS 9
Functional and non-functional - user – system –requirement engineering process – feasibility studies – requirements – elicitation – validation and management – software prototyping – prototyping in the software process – rapid prototyping techniques – user interface prototyping -S/W document. Analysis and modeling – data, functional and behavioral models – structured analysis and data dictionary.

UNIT III DESIGN CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES 9
Design process and concepts – modular design – design heuristic – design model and document. Architectural design – software architecture – data design – architectural design – transform and transaction mapping – user interface design – user interface design principles. Real time systems - Real time software design – system design – real time executives – data acquisition system - monitoring and control system. SCM – Need for SCM – Version control – Introduction to SCM process – Software configuration items.

UNIT IV TESTING 9
