- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to acquaint students with methodologies of design and implementation of software projects.
- Learning outcomes
- Students will be able to:
- understand the importance of the SW development process, identify and describe its purpose and phases;
- understand the content of the individual phases of the SW development process;
- know the basic recommendations (best practices) for planning, implementation and risk elimination of individual phases of SW development; - Syllabus
- 1. Introduction: Specification of terms, methodology (methodology goal), method, classification of software for SW development. Primary reasons for modeling. SW lifecycles. Light and heavy methodologies.
- 2. Waterfall approach to SW creation: Model principle, life cycle, specification, plan, development phase, possibilities of use, disadvantages.
- 3. Iterative / evolutionary approach to SW creation: Model principle, iteration, feedback, life cycle phase. Comparison of waterfall and interaction approach.
