Software Engineering Best Practices: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 933   Type: RealityPlus   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Analyze, design, program and test software projects
  • Elicit requirements and write user stories, use cases and use case diagrams
  • Draft mock-up user interfaces and create functional UI prototypes
  • Translate application requirements into working code
  • 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 be effective, 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 the development team using all the core 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.


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

  • Eliciting requirements
  • Writing user stories and use cases
  • Sketching user interface mock-ups and creating UI prototypes
  • Programming using a modern object-oriented language
  • Modeling complex systems using UML class diagrams
  • Implementing Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern
  • Coding classes, inheritance and polymorphic behaviors
  • Representing data relationships and entities
  • Manipulating data with SQL
  • Writing manual and automated tests
