Course Description

Within the scope of the subject students gain knowledge on software product life-cycle processes and software development models. The differences between traditional and agile development methods are defined and for the selected development models their advantages, disadvantages and selection principles for development projects are presented. Methods, main process actors, artifacts and interdependences are analyzed. During the course students acquire theoretical knowledge and practical experience in applying software requirements elicitation, analysis and management methods; in defining the software architecture and software prototyping. The urge and concept of process model tailoring is explained. Implementation, analysis and improvement of the program processes are described. Students are introduced to the R&D trends in the field of software engineering, the connection between conceptual design and business analysis with predicting the future and defining the strategy of the environment in which software is developed are shown. Topics related to the intellectual property are discussed, focusing on software licenses and patents.
