Lab 1 Introduction Project Definition

Introduction and Project definition 2 Objective To give the Student an overview of the Lab Environment and tools used in SWE lab. To discuss Software development Life Cycle (SDLC) To discuss about Project & Project definition

Introduction and Project definition 3 Agenda Getting familiar to WebCT Getting familiar to Syncron Eye Introduction of Lab Objectives Project definition

Introduction and Project definition 4 Get Familiar with WebCT Go to If you do not have WebCT ID before then: – User id & Password is the same as KFUPM ID – LOGIN and change it immediately If you have WebCT ID then – use it – if you forgot the ID, mailto: Now, let us navigate through and see the main features.

Introduction and Project definition 5 Get familiar with SynchEye Start SynchEye Features – Computer-lab instruction software that helps to create a focused learning environment. – Monitor View all students' screens from your desktop. – Respond View and answer students' questions from desktop. – Assist Control student computers remotely. – Show Broadcast one screen to the entire class. – Focus Blank Student screens.

Introduction and Project definition 11 SWE Lab Objectives In this lab, Students are exposed to Use-case driven approach for developing software. Students should practice SW development life cycle (project management, requirements engineering, systems modeling, software design and prototyping) using object orientation paradigm and CASE tools within a team work environment. UML notation is covered in this lab as the modeling language for analysis and design.

Introduction and Project definition 12 Tools Used in the lab SWE lab is one of the most challenging of all labs. Developing a complete Software application requires from each of you a good level of know- how of various tools. There are some tools which will be taught, but there are some which are assumed you already know or if you don’t, then you learn it individually.

Introduction and Project definition 13 Tools Used MS Project – For Project planning/Management Rational Rose – For UML diagrams (object oriented analysis and design) Rational Requisite Pro – For UML vision and Software Requirement Specification (SRS) documentation

Introduction and Project definition 14 Key Ideas Many failed systems were abandoned because analysts tried to build wonderful systems without understanding the organization. The primarily goal of development of software is to create value for the organization.

Introduction and Project definition 15 Key Ideas The Software Engineer is a key person analyzing the business, identifying opportunities for improvement, and designing information systems to implement these ideas. It is important to understand and develop through practice the skills needed to successfully design and implement new software systems.

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Introduction and Project definition 17 Major Attributes of the Life Cycle The project -- – Moves systematically through phases where each phase has a standard set of outputs – Produces project deliverables – Uses deliverables in implementation – Results in actual information system – Uses gradual refinement

Introduction and Project definition 18 Project Phases Planning (Why to build the system? How should the team go about building it?) Analysis (Who uses the system, what will it do, where and when will the system be used?) Design (How will the system work?) Implementation (System delivery)

Introduction and Project definition 19 Identifying business value Analyze feasibility Develop work plan Staff the project Control and direct project Planning

Introduction and Project definition 20 Analysis strategy Gathering business requirements Requirements definition use cases Process modeling Data modeling Analysis

Introduction and Project definition 21 Design selection Architecture design Interface design Data storage design Program design Design

Introduction and Project definition 22 Construction/Development – Program building – Program and system testing Installation – Conversion strategy – Training plan – Support plan Implementation

Introduction and Project definition 23 Processes and Deliverables PhasesProducts Planning Analysis/ Specifications Design Implementation Project Definition Feasibility Analysis Project Plan Requirement Document Design Document New System and Maintenance Plan

Introduction and Project definition 24 System Development Methodology? A formalized approach to implementing the SDLC – A series of steps and deliverables Methodology Categories Process-Centered Data-Centered Object-Oriented

Introduction and Project definition 25 Project Definition / Problem Statement Look at the Sample Projects Figure out what should be included in the project definition

Introduction and Project definition 26 Your Turn Project Titles Form groups of 3 students (with one of them as a leader) Brainstorm and list 5 suitable project titles Present these to the class

Introduction and Project definition 27 Your Turn Project Definition Chose one of the projects from your list Try to write (a hypothetical) Project definition for it Present it to instructor / class

Introduction and Project definition 28 What Next…? Form teams of 3 to 4 students for the term project Submit their Ids, names, section and to with in this Suggest / search a project and write project definition / problem statement
