• Class Meeting Thu Feb 18 Posted: Feb 18

  We will be covering Program Slicing in class.

  This below will make more sense when I explain it:

  • Project 1: Artifact Search
  • Project 2: Examples of Cohesion & Coupling
  • Project 3: Metrics
    • Apply complexity to one-function/method code of some complexity
    • Apply OOP metrices to an OO system

• Will start to discuss:

  A Metrics Suite for Object-Oriented Design

• Tuesday, Feb 2 Posted: Feb 02

  For today:

  • Discuss the examples of cohesion that you found
  • Complete Coupling notes
  • Possibly start Static Analysis notes
  • Reference: An Empirical Study of Static Call Graph Extractors
  • srcMLXSLT
• Exercise: Coupling and Cohesion Examples Posted: Jan 28

  For as many types of coupling and cohesion as possible, find examples. Preferably examples in code/design/architecture.

  Writeup and bring to class on Tuesday, Feb 2.

• Class 3 Posted: Jan 19

  Held in MS Teams Meeting on Tuesday, Jan 19 from 3:30 - 4:45 pm. Be sure to use your @uakron.edu username.

• Exercise: Artifact Search Posted: Jan 19

  Select two different software systems. For each system:

  • Look at any artifacts (i.e., files, web pages) that you can find
  • Classify each artifact into a software phase

  At least on of the systems must have the artifacts online. The second system can be closed source or private.

  Bring what you find to class on Thursday, Jan 21.

• Welcome to 3460:680 Software Engineering Methodologies Posted: Jan 07

  I am Dr. Michael L. Collard, your instructor for this course.

  Overall, the course is delivered online with on-campus testing. During class time, we will meet in a Microsoft Teams Meeting. You should see this in your calendar in Microsoft Teams. Be sure to use your @uakron.edu username.

  During class time, I will present, and we will discuss the material.

  More details to follow at our first class meeting. For now:

  • There is no assigned textbook. Any textbook is only for background.
  • The Draft Syllabus is available from this course page. I finalize the syllabus by the first class meeting.

  Your first reading assignment is Changing the Paradigm of Software Engineering by Václav Rajlich. Be sure to read this before the first class.

  I look forward to seeing all of you in Teams on Tuesday. Jan 12 from 3:30 - 4:45 pm.
