| Læringsmål: | After the course the student should to be able to:
- discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different methods and approaches to organise and support the software development process (process and project models, quality assurance and configuration management.
- discuss a range of criteria to be considered when selecting methods, processes and tools and their influence on the selection.
- use the criteria to evaluate and select methods and approaches to address problems in practice.
|
| Fagligt indhold: | The course addresses practitioners who have at least worked 2 years with software engineering. Thus the goal is not to provide knowledge about one specific way of developing software but to enable the participants to evaluate and compare different methods and approaches. The experiences of the participants are used to challenge research results and vice versa.
The course starts with addressing the central topics of software engineering each in a 2 weeks module:
- software development processes,
- quality assurance (including the CMM) and
- change and configuration management.
In each two week module, a number of different approaches and methods are discussed with relation to the problems they address and to their applicability for different kinds of software development, e.g. application domain, technical vs social embedded systems, size of project, customer/user contact.
During the mandatory curriculum a perspective of software engineering as 'designing design' (Floyd), that means structuring, organizing and supporting the design and development of software is introduced. A number of criteria to be considered when choosing methods, processes and tools are introduced.
The remainder of the course applies and refines this perspective and the selection criteria when addressing three more electable topics. This allows to accommodate the interests of the participants.
The following list presents examples for the electable topics:
- Flexible software development methods like eXtreme programming, and agile development
- Software process improvement, maturity models and software quality
- Use-oriented software development
- Software architecture
- Software engineering for operation
- Infrastructure development
- End User Development
- Productification of software, design and development of software products
- Knowledge management in Software Engineering
- Off-shore outsourcing |
| Læringsaktiviteter: | The tuition will take place in 2 weeks modules combining lectures, home work, group discussions and other didactic methods. The course partly builds on the students sharing their professional experiences and reading and presenting research articles.
