CS-410: Software Engineering

Fall 2017

TR: 12:30 pm – 1:50 pm, WA 209A (Section 1)

MW:  8:00 am – 9:20 am, WA 105 (Section 2)

Objective:

The objective of the course is to survey the issues that arise, and study the engineering principles applied, in the practice of large scale software production.

Course Description:

The course deals with the current trends of software engineering principles and techniques for methodical construction of large, complex software-intensive systems. It follows the software life cycle from the requirement, specification, design, and testing phases. Topics include software process, project management, quality assurance, configuration management, formal specification techniques, design methodologies, testing and validation techniques, and object-oriented methodologies. Students are involved in a team project utilizing software engineering principles.

Prerequisites: C or better grade in CS-341 and in ENG 111.

This course satisfies WSU Gen Ed Writing Intensive requirement.
