SEOC Lecture Notes

This lecture provides a general introduction to Software Engineering and to the SEOC course.

This lecture provides a general overview on Requirements Engineering. The main objective is to highlight requirements engineering practices, references and resources.

The main documents for the SEOC group project have been issued. They are the main requirements sources for the SEOC group project.

This lecture introduces the basic notation for use case diagrams. Use case templates allow the desciption of use case information.

This lecture introduces software design in terms of objects and components. It also introduces class diagrams, the UML notations for capturing some software design aspects of objectd-oriented systems.

This lecture introduses CRC cards as validation and modeling method, which supports principles of design by responsibilities (responsibility-based modeling or responsibility-driven design).

This lecture shows the SEOC process so far. It develops sample UML designs for a case study. The lecture provides a instance of the activities and the deliverables related to the group project.

This lecture is a very brief introduction to software tools for UML. The most important aspect (introduced by the lecture) is the use of CVS repositories in order to support cooperative group work.

Readings in the resources' page.

This lecture discusses the rationale and introduces the notation for component diagrams.

This lectures introduces sequence diagrams. One of the UML interaction diagrams, which capture (i.e., model) dynamic system aspects.

This lecture introduces communication diagrams, formerly named collaboration diagrams. Communication diagrams provide an alternative representation (to sequence diagrams) for dynamic system aspects.

This lecture introduces activity diagrams.

This lecture introduces state machines. It also highlights relationships between state machines and activity diagrams.

This lecture introduces the basic concepts of software testing. It also highlights how use cases drive software testing.

This lecture introduces deployment diagrams.

This lecture introduces the basic concepts of Design Patterns. It discusses how design patters support reuse strategies.
