Topics include: project life-cycle management: team roles, tasks, timelines; responding to customer needs and requirement changes, development paradigms: waterfall, spiral, agile, RAD (Rapid Application Development); documentation requirements; tools: source code management, unit testing, debugging. Prereq: Acceptance into the Application Development BAS. Essential Learning Outcomes: Knowledge Facts, theories, perspectives, and methodologies within and across disciplines Students will be able to discuss the different approaches to modern software development, particularly focusing on the major lifecycle paradigms, such as waterfall, spiral, agile. Intellectual & Practical Skills, including Technological proficiency Students will demonstrate proficiency in working with standard software development tools, such as source code management, automated testing (particularly unit testing), and debugging techniques. Discipline/Program Outcomes: This course supports the following program learning outcomes: LO1: Identify and analyze user requirements using industry-recognized tools and strategies to interview stakeholders, and to prioritize and document requirements LO2: Compare and assess different approaches to software development lifecycle and apply effective strategies to manage the process of developing, designing, testing, and delivering a software application LO5: Develop and execute testing plan using industry-recognized strategies, including unit, systems, and acceptance testing, employing appropriate quality assurance standards and procedures Page 3 of 5

4 Course Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the primary characteristics of commonly used software lifecycles and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches. 2. Describe the responsibilities and interactions of the various teams in software project. 3. Identify how varying aspects of the software development environment, such as the relationship to customers, management style, project size and complexity, affect the "goodness" of the different lifecycle choices. 4. Use standard software development tools commonly used in larger projects, including design modeling, source-code configuration management, debugging, and automated testing. Assessment: Final grades will be assigned according to published standards in the course syllabus. Page 4 of 5
