1. CSE784 – Software Studio
Jim Fawcett
Fall 2002

2. Course Scope
Software Development process with emphasis on principles of good design and implementation.
Techniques needed for large scale software development.

3. Part I Analysis, Design, implementation
Specifying software systems
what, not how
Attributes of a good design
simplicity
Attributes of a good implementation
robustness
Characteristics which weaken your designs and implementations

4. Part II Software Development Process
Process models and products
Roles and activities for each phase of development

5. Part III - Case Study
One major project that the class develops together.
SW Project Manager, Architect, Team Leader, and Team Member roles are assigned (usually 5-6 teams).
SW product is documented, developed, and qualified with the customer.

6. One Individual Project
Requirements Document
Design Document
Code
Revised Requirements Document

7. Midterm Examination Take-home examination
Detailed Analysis of your first project
Requirments

10. Design abstraction modularity and encapsulation coupling and cohesion
object oriented design
C Specification (Product Spec, Design Document)
elaborate architecture
define structure and processing of each module
Mspecs

state transition diagrams
data dictionary

11. Implementation Abstraction modularity and encapsulation
manual and maintenance pages
modularity and encapsulation
modules, classes, and functions
coupling and cohesion
HIPOs
object implementation
building self-sufficient servers

12. Testing Phases test plan unit and qualification test drivers
construction, unit, integration, validation, qualification, and regression testing
test plan
test structure
required resources
Schedule
procedures
unit and qualification test drivers

13. Qualification test structure legal aspects
demonstration, test, analysis, inspection
legal aspects

14. Basis for Grades Individual Project – 30% Midterm – 30%
B-Spec, C-Spec, and code count equally
Midterm – 30%
Demonstrates you know how to evaluate a software project.
Documentation must be convincing.
Final Project – 40%
