Software Development: Testing

This presentation discusses the role and purpose of testing in the systems/Software Development Life Cycle. We examine the consequences of the 'cost curve' on defect removal and how agile methods can reduce its effects. We concentrate on Black Box Testing and use Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis to construct the smallest number of test cases, test scenarios necessary for a test plan.

Software Engineering Team Project 2016-2017: Introduction and Start Up

Software Engineering Team project introductory lecture and project start up for 2014-2015. it covers team working, infrastructure tools, and an outline of the agile methods, practices and principles that will be used.

Software Development Life Cycles and Process Models

This presentation describes the evolution of Software Development Lifecycles (SDLCs) from the first formally proposed linear models including, the Waterfall (Royce 1970) through to iterative prototyping models (Spiral and Win-Win Spiral) and incremental, iterative models used in Agile Methods. We discuss the problems iinherent in each prpoosal and how successive models attempt to solve them.
