Principles of Software Engineering

• Customer Focused
• Iterative Process
  • Increment frequently
  • Demo to the customer to get feedback
• Manage Risk
  • Involve the customer to validate requirements
• Empirical Process
  • Transparency
  • Feedback loop to alter the process

Note: The Prof. will be the client

How do we practice these principles

• communicate
  • Get requirements and feedback
• plan
  • manage expectations
• model
  • aka design the system
• construct
  • yeah
• deploy
  • Put it in the real world
  • Watch it closely - if it starts to fall apart, step in

There are a lot of frameworks to guide this process. We’ll be using “OpenUP”.

• Inception
• Elaboration
• Construction
• Transition

“You will use a Scrum process to define tactical activities” - prof.

I cannot imagine a more pretentious sentence.

There is “something” due before next class. You can find it on the course website.

Half of us do not have access to the course website.

why on earth are the between-class exercises listed under the class they’re due by, and not under the class they’re assigned in?
