CSE784 Software Studio

• Jim Fawcett
• Fall 2002

2
Course Scope

• Software Development process with emphasis on
  principles of good design and implementation.
• Techniques needed for large scale software
  development.

3
Part IAnalysis, Design, implementation

• Specifying software systems
• what, not how
• Attributes of a good design
• simplicity
• Attributes of a good implementation
• robustness
• Characteristics which weaken your designs and
  implementations

4
Part IISoftware Development Process

• Process models and products
• Roles and activities for each phase of
  development

5
Part III - Case Study

• One major project that the class develops
  together.
• SW Project Manager, Architect, Team Leader, and
  Team Member roles are assigned (usually 5-6
  teams).
• SW product is documented, developed, and
  qualified with the customer.

6
One Individual Project

• Requirements Document
• Design Document
• Code
• Revised Requirements Document

7
Midterm Examination

• Take-home examination
• Detailed Analysis of your first project
• Requirments
• Design
• Implementation
• Test

• Organizing principles
• Critical Issues
• B Specification (Software Requirements Spec)
• define top-level modules
• define abstraction
• Data Flow Diagrams
• Pspecs (HIPO format)
• Data Dictionary
• Requirments Traceability Matrix

10
Design

• abstraction
• modularity and encapsulation
• coupling and cohesion
• object oriented design
• C Specification (Product Spec, Design Document)
• elaborate architecture
• define structure and processing of each module
• Mspecs
• class hierarchy charts
• event trace diagrams
• structure charts
• state transition diagrams
• data dictionary

11
Implementation

• Abstraction
• manual and maintenance pages
• modularity and encapsulation
• modules, classes, and functions
• coupling and cohesion
• HIPOs
• object implementation
• building self-sufficient servers

12
Testing

• Phases
• construction, unit, integration, validation,
  qualification, and regression testing
• test plan
• test structure
• required resources
• Schedule
• procedures
• unit and qualification test drivers

13
Qualification

• test structure
• demonstration, test, analysis, inspection
• legal aspects

14
Basis for Grades

• Individual Project 30
• B-Spec, C-Spec, and code count equally
• Midterm 30
• Demonstrates you know how to evaluate a software
  project.
• Documentation must be convincing.
• Final Project 40
