Advanced Software Engineering

This course focuses on software engineering for smart, critical, and complex software-intensive systems. The course contains four modules. 1) Requirements specification module focuses on methods to transit from user requirements to high-quality technical requirements; 2) Testing management model focuses on testing strategies; 3) Code quality module focuses on code analysis, code review, and code refactoring; 4) Complex system module focuses on verification and validation of complex software systems.

Students will apply the requirement specification, testing techniques, and code review and refactoring to homework assignments and group projects throughout the course.

After taking this course, students should be able to: 1) Identify and correct typical requirements quality issues; 2) Apply different testing, code review, code analysis, and code refactoring approaches; 3) Explain the industrial state of the practice methods of advanced software engineering; 4) Critical evaluation and application of AI-assisted software engineering tools.
