Software Engineering

The aim of this course is to present modern methods and tools for software development. Software engineering can be characterized as the application of engineering principles to produce reliable, cost-effective software on real machines. Software engineering is not just about development costs, but also about the costs of maintenance and use throughout the life of the software. We will also look at problems specific to large systems (over 1,000,000 lines of code) and generated by teamwork, which require methodological approaches to software design, development and evolution.
The course consists of three parts, taught by different lecturers:

Agile development (A. Le Houedec)
Software engineering (P. Galvao, M. Aune)
Software specifications (E. Girard Smith, F. Solliec)
