Elicit requirements and write an SRS using DFDs, ER diagrams and decision tables
Explain verification and validation, ISO 9000 and SEI-CMM levels
Design modular software with low coupling and high cohesion and compute Halstead, function point and cyclomatic metrics
Plan unit, integration, system and acceptance testing with black-box and white-box techniques
Estimate effort and duration using COCOMO and manage risk, configuration and maintenance

Who it is for

B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering, Information Technology students of Semester 6 (AKTU)
Students of other universities studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching

What you need

Programming knowledge (C / Java)
Database and OOP basics are helpful

Questions

Which syllabus does the Software Engineering course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Software Engineering. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the university examination?

Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the AKTU scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.

Are numericals asked in this subject?

Yes: COCOMO, function points, Halstead metrics and cyclomatic complexity are regular AKTU questions and are practised in class.
