In this post we have posted some notes on CS8494 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING for ANNA UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED COLLEGES STUDENTS. 

Here We have listed the the notes whichever we could collect for CS8494 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING subject, We think that it will be helpful for your exam preparation.

• To understand the phases in a software project
• To understand fundamental concepts of requirements engineering and Analysis Modeling.
• To understand the various software design methodologies
• To learn various testing and maintenance measures

Introduction to Software Engineering, Software Process, Perspective and Specialized Process

Models –Introduction to Agility-Agile process-Extreme programming-XP Process.

Software Requirements: Functional and Non-Functional, User requirements, System requirements, Software Requirements Document – Requirement Engineering Process: Feasibility Studies, Requirements elicitation and analysis, requirements validation, requirements management Classical analysis: Structured system Analysis, Petri Nets- Data Dictionary.

Design process – Design Concepts-Design Model– Design Heuristic – Architectural Design Architectural styles, Architectural Design, Architectural Mapping using Data Flow- User Interface Design: Interface analysis, Interface Design –Component level Design: Designing Class based components, traditional Components.

Software testing fundamentals-Internal and external views of Testing-white box testing – basis path testing-control structure testing-black box testing- Regression Testing – Unit Testing – Integration Testing – Validation Testing – System Testing And Debugging –Software Implementation Techniques: Coding practices-Refactoring-Maintenance and Reengineering-BPR model-Reengineering process model-Reverse and Forward Engineering.
