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, design software using function-oriented approach (DFDs) and object-oriented approach (UML diagrams).
2. Understand the concepts of computer aided software engineering (CASE) and use different CASE tools in the development, maintenance and reuse of software systems.
3. Know the emerging concepts like cloud computing, middleware, SOA etc., their functioning and their applications in real life problems.
