This topic will focus on software process engineering, that is, the definition, implementation, measurement, management, change and improvement of the software engineering (development) process. Software process engineering is a rapidly evolving area. The topic will consider the currently applicable paradigms and methods such as the on-going developments centred on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). Where relevant, software development environments and development methods will also be covered.
This topic aims to establish professional knowledge and competencies in the definition, implementation, measurement, management, change and improvement of the software engineering process studied and practiced in the previous three software engineering topics. Another aim is to consider the currently applicable paradigms and methods in software process engineering and, where relevant, software development environments and development methods.
