This class will focus primarily on technical aspects of software
engineering research. There are two primary goals of the course.
- To provide an overview of some of the most important techniques and approaches that can
help in producing better quality software at more predictable costs.
- To lay a foundation for performing research in software engineering.
I expect that you will have some basic familiarity with software engineering notions
such as the software lifecycle, modularization, requirements vs. design vs.
implementation, maintenance, etc. If you don't, I can suggest some basic books that
you can speed through at the beginning of the quarter.
