Chapter 2: Software Process Models

In this chapter we will describe what a software process model is and see the generic models for software development. We will present the Waterfall model, evolutionary models, and the Component Based Reuse model. We will describe the pros and cons of each and show the criteria for evaluating these models.

Chapter 1: Introduction

In this lecture we will introduce the topic of software engineering. First an overview of the role of computers in our society is presented. Next, we will define what software engineering is, and what are the characteristics of good software. The software process is defined and various software process models will be presented. Next, CASE tools are described and a sample case tool will be presented.

As this course is similar in nature to the Systems Analysis and Design course, we will discuss the differences between the two. Finally, the topics that we will cover in this course will be presented.

Welcome to CAP 312

In this lecture we will explain what this course is about, why it is important and how it is organised.  The methodology we will adopt for teaching this course will be based on lectures, tutorials, individual assignments, and a group project. To benefit form this course students need to follow on the topics and apply what they learn on the given activities and project.

During this lecture we will also present resources used for accomplishing this task. The course weblog will be used as a key web reference for the course. The weblog shows announcements and other various course related information. It also allows students to participate and discuss various issues on-line.
