COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers the fundamentals of software engineering, including
understanding and analyzing system requirements, finding appropriate
engineering compromises. And also explains how to apply effective
methods of design, coding and testing for software development.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Model a reliable and cost-effective software system
To understand several SDLC models for software development that can
be consistent to produce high quality software at low cost
Ability to apply software engineering principles and techniques
Ability to design an effective model of the system
Perform Testing at various levels and produce an efficient system.
