Background
The Event
The application of software engineering techniques has, in many cases, resulted in radical improvements in software quality, a reduction in defects, and has enabled companies to have better control and predictability of software development projects.

Fundamentals of Software Engineering provides an overview of the main software engineering methods that are currently employed in the industry, the situations where they are most applicable, which aspects of software projects they are trying to address, and how they interact with one another.

Who should attend?

The event will be of interest to Senior IT Management, Quality Managers, Project Managers, designers, analysts and programmers who require an overview of Software Engineering principles. Other staff in your organisation that are involved in software projects would also benefit from attending.

The course takes a pragmatic approach to software engineering, covering the main issues and techniques used in the software industry.

The subjects covered include: selecting a software life-cycle; project control; object-oriented and structured methods for analysis and design; the Capability Maturity Model, ISO 9001:2000 and SPICE; fitting the methods together.

The course includes a number of practical exercises to give delegates experience of the issues involved in software engineering.

At the end of this course you will:

  • Gain an overview of current Software Engineering practices, and where they can be best applied in an organisation;
  • Understand Software Lifecycles, their Activities and where they should be used;
  • Understand the basics of Structured and Object-oriented Methods and their differences;
  • Apply the Principles of Project Management to Effectively Manage Software Projects;
  • Understand the Strengths and Weaknesses of Process Improvement Methods, such as CMM, ISO 9001 and SPICE.
