Software Engineering Best Practices: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

Course: 933 Duration: 4 Days PMI: 23 CPE: 23

You Will Learn How To

Analyze, design, program and test software projects
Determine the appropriate software development methodology for your project
Elicit requirements and write user stories, use cases and use case diagrams
Draft mock-up user interfaces and create functional UI prototypes
Simplify complex systems using modern object-oriented analysis and design techniques
Ensure software quality with both manual and automated testing techniques

Course Benefits

Modern software development requires the collaborative effort of a diverse team with varied skills. To deliver software on time and on budget, team members need to understand the activities performed at each stage in the development cycle. In this course, you analyze, design, implement and test applications that meet user requirements through a simulated case study. You gain hands-on experience performing each role within a development team using the concepts and skills necessary to engineer a successful program.

Who Should Attend

Business analysts, QA testers, programmers, software designers, technical project managers and those who want an introduction to modern software development.

RealityPlus™

Through an evolving case study, you perform the typical roles and activities of software development team members. Team- and PC-based activities include:
