To discuss the software engineering discipline, its evolution, impact and emergence of software engineering and explain the development and use of different software life cycle models for real-life industrial applications.

To discuss different aspects of software project management, risk management and configuration management and explain various requirement elicitation, analysis and specification techniques.

To discuss various software design methodologies, the impact of cohesion and coupling measures on the goodness of the software design.

To discuss the importance of practicing different coding standards, guidelines and different testing strategies along with software reliability metrics and software quality management techniques & standards.

After reading this subject, students will be able to:
1. Choose a proper life cycle model for different real-life industrial applications, develop the SRS document, design the software using function-oriented approach (DFDs) and object-oriented approach (UML diagrams), code it and test the developed software using different testing techniques.
2. Understand the concepts of computer aided software engineering (CASE) and use different CASE tools in the development, maintenance and reuse of software systems.
