Lecturer:

Tomáš Krátký, Bohumír Zoubek

Tutor:

Martin Hlavatý, Tomáš Krátký, Michal Podzimek, Demlová Uznáno, Bohumír Zoubek

Supervisor:

Department of Cybernetics

Synopsis:

The course A Practical Approach to The Software Engineering systematically covers primary and support software engineering activities. Further, software project management, software process, software maintenance and software proposal writing will be mentioned for an

appropriate context. All topics covered will be illustrated on real world project situations. A typical lecture will include theory basics, minimal practices, checklists and templates, samples from real world projects and recommended reading.

Requirements:

Specification for smaller application (up to 10 pages) and either the participation of 9 lessons + solution of 2 tasks or paper (15 minutes) + solution of 4 tasks. Exam Course: Written test (60 minutes) and oral exam (about 15-30 minutes).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. An Introduction to the Software Engineering Discipline Including its Context.

2. Requirements Engineering.

3. Software Architecture and Design.

4. Software Construction.

5. Software Testing.

6. Documentation, Validation, Verification and Quality Assurance.

7. Software Configuration Management.

8. Development Environment, Release Management, Acceptance and Production Environment.

13. Summary, Illustrations, Discussions, Bibliography, Resourcesand Preparation for the Test.

Syllabus of tutorials:

a. proposal

b. project plan, harmonogram, estimates, boundary conditions

c. specification

d. architecture and design

e. programming / design practices; ex post code review

f. automated tests

g. configuration management processes and procedures

h. development environment and automated build, deploy and test

n. procedures and processes for developing and maintaining

Study Objective:

The course aims to clearly and comprehensively discuss the fundamental aspects of Software Engineering in practice on real projects in real life. Our main goal is to illustrate the normal project life, the students who come most likely in the near and distant future to contact.
