JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

• The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of the working knowledge of the techniques for estimation, design, testing and quality management of large software development projects.
• Topics include process models, software requirements, software design, software testing, software process/product metrics, risk management, quality management and UML diagrams

Course Outcomes

• Ability to translate end-user requirements into system and software requirements, using e.g.
• UML, and structure the requirements in a Software Requirements Document (SRD).
• Identify and apply appropriate software architectures and patterns to carry out high level design of a system and be able to critically compare alternative choices.
• Will have experience and/or awareness of testing problems and will be able to develop a simple testing report
