Lectures and Notes

There are three hours of lectures/week.

I will post notes here as they are created. They'll be based on the content from previous years, so if you want to look ahead, please refer to the 2009 version of the course for the general context of what we are learning in class. The notes will be posted here , and will be tailored for this particular offering of the course, so make sure to get the updated ones as they come out!

Topics

The course is split into three general parts: overall lifecycle, requirements and design.

• Introduction & Overview
• Software Lifecycle
• Requirements Engineering
  • writing/quality
  • specification
  • gathering [fox: chapter 4]
• Design Mechanisms and Methodologies
