Learning Goals

Compare & Contrast different software engineering and development processes. (1), (2), (4), (6)
Learn a particular process (XP: user stories, test-driven development, refactoring, pair programming). (1), (2), (4), (6)
Improve activities that are common to most processes (configuration management, testing, metrics, documentation, reverse engineering, refactoring). (1), (2), (4), (6)
Contribute effectively to a team in maintaining existing large code (CS427) ot developing new code (CS428/9). (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6)
Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with peers and software customers (TAs), and describe your process (the latter for CS429). (3), (5)
Manage/organize software projects (requirements, architecture, design, documentation, management, planning). (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6)
Use a set of modern software development services (e,g., GitHub, Travis) (2), (3), (5), (6)
