About this Unit

This unit explores the broad range of software engineering practices over the course of the software development life cycle. The unit covers simple software project management techniques, leading into the specification of functional and non-functional requirements. It demonstrates how to use version control systems to manage coding projects, and how to identify maintainability problems in source code. Finally, it addresses the development of unit testing from a simple theoretical basis and also a highly practical level.

★★★★☆

This unit was quite unremarkable. It covers software lifecycle, planning, management and testing. Generally well coordinated unit, content was well delivered.
