Students are required to have already passed Programming Fundamentals I and II, as well as Software Engineering I and Databases to have a minimum guarantee of passing this course. Those students who haven't already passed these courses and are interesting in getting enrolled in Software Engineering II, should make a major effort to acquire the necessary knowledge and experience of software design and databases.
This subject pretends to offer a big picture of the Software Engineering processes and their relations to create work teams that develop information systems industrializing such processes, highlighting that this development is always cooperative and multidisciplinary.
For this aim, the subject introduces the concept of Software Lifecycle and describes a map of the processes necessary to develop software with a work team, explaining its enactment when different software development methodologies are used.
In addition, some important development-supporting processes such as configuration management, quality management, test management and maintenance management will be also explained. All these processes will be grounded in open ISO standards, which will provide the student with a larger global vision, and probably, they will open some doors to interesting positions in any organization.
As result, it is expected that the student will be able to achieve the abilities and knowledge necessary to work as Software Engineer.
Moreover, it is important to highlight that this subject belong to the module of Software Engineering, Information Systems and Intelligent Systems of the curriculum and provides the basis for the subjects of the specialty of Software Engineering:
