This
class will focus primarily on technical aspects of
software engineering research, covering five topics
- Design (October 6, 13)
- Evolution (October 20,
27)
- Requirements and
specification (November 10, 17)
- Analyses and tools
(November 24, December 1)
- Quality assurance
(December 8)
To put these into
perspective for practitioners in the computing industry
(that's you!), we'll do several specific things
- We'll consider a
question that is asked increasingly often:
"Why does software engineering research only
infrequently transfer effectively into the
software industry?"
- We'll start the
quarter reading some papers on this general topic
- For each of the first
four topics above, students in the class will
produce short reports assessing the material in
the readings in this context
- For each of the first
four topics above, students in the class will
produce a single web page that distills these
reports, essentially representing a collective
industrial assessment of software engineering
research in these areas
