1.

Introduction to Software Engineering

 Definition: The application of engineering principles to software


development in a systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable manner.

 Goals: High-quality software that is reliable, maintainable, and


delivered on time and within budget.

🔁 2. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Models

 Waterfall Model – Linear and sequential

 Spiral Model – Risk-driven iterative model

 Agile Model – Flexible, iterative, and customer-focused

 V-Model – Emphasizes verification and validation

📋 3. Requirements Engineering

 Functional Requirements – What the system should do

 Non-Functional Requirements – Performance, security, usability

 SRS (Software Requirements Specification) – A formal document


outlining all requirements

🧱 4. Software Design

 Design Principles – Modularity, abstraction, cohesion, coupling

 Architectural Design – High-level structure (e.g., client-server,


layered)

 UML Diagrams – Use-case, class, sequence, activity diagrams

💻 5. Software Construction (Coding)

 Best Practices – Code readability, commenting, version control

 Programming Paradigms – Procedural, object-oriented, functional

🧪 6. Software Testing

 Types: Unit, Integration, System, Acceptance

 Techniques: Black-box, White-box, Regression testing

 Test Automation – Tools like Selenium, JUnit

🔧 7. Software Maintenance
 Types: Corrective, Adaptive, Perfective, Preventive

 Challenges: Legacy code, documentation, evolving requirements

📊 8. Software Project Management

 Estimation Models: COCOMO, Function Point Analysis

 Scheduling: Gantt charts, PERT diagrams

 Risk Management and Quality Assurance
