cs4330 - Software Engineering Applications

This course is intended to present advanced software engineering techniques
to senior-level undergraduates.  The course CS3300 (formerly CS3302) is a
prerequisite.

The course content is introduced in the context of a single, real-world
software application which students are required to maintain and enhance.

Among the advanced techniques to be presented are the following:

  + Domain analysis
  + Software architecture
  + Design patterns
  + Refactoring
  + Reverse engineering
  + Usage-based testing
  + Object-oriented design reviews


Grading:

  Project:  You will be asked at the end of the semester to fill out a form
  describing your contributions to the project.  Among the important
  questions that it asks is how a student took initiative to make the
  project succeed.  You cannot get an A in the class without demonstrating
  initiative.

  Material:  Student understanding of the material presented in class will
  be evaluated by a variety of mean including assignments, quizzes and
  possibly tests.
