Unique Paper Code: Update Awaited

The course introduces fundamental Software Engineering approaches and techniques for software development. The students also develop a case study using appropriate software model.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • Analyse and model customer’s requirements and model its software design.
  • Use suitable software model for the problem at hand.
  • Estimate cost and efforts required in building software.
  • Analyse and compute impact of various risks involved in software development.
  • Design and build test cases, and to perform software testing.
