As systems and services become more pervasive, large-scale and complex, new methods are needed to deal with the complexity of conceiving them, designing them and implementing them. ASE will expose students to software engineering methods that provide them the ability to develop software systems and services in a more efficient and effective way. The presented methods will embrace the full range of software engineering activities, from requirements engineering to software validation, from formal models to practical artifacts, from products to processes. The program of the course will evolve continuously as new methods emerge and others become obsolete. Practical application to a project will be part of the course

ActivitatActe avaluatiu
Projecte d'enginyeria del software
This is the only evaluation input for the course. The project will be organized into two-weekly iterations. Every iteration will have a concrete goal determined in the previous one. The evaluation of each iteration can be diverse: from presentations, to documentation, to hand-on experimentation Objectius:2 Setmana:

Metodologia docent
The course is divided mainly into two parts.
In the first part, theoretical background is introduced to the student.
In the second part, the emphasis will be in the construction of a software product by teams of students. Additional theoretical concepts will be introduced whenever necessary. Teams will be sized depending on the number of students. Given the agile focus chosen for the course and also the intention to build non-trivial products, the target will be having teams among 5 and 7 students.
Mètode d'avaluació
The final grade (FG) of the the course for a students is obtained by applying an individual factor (IF) to the team project grade (PG):
FG = IF * PG (FG will be truncated to fit in the range [0, 10])
PG will be obtained by evaluating the completeness and quality of the artefacts (including presentations) delivered during the course by every team (Qual) and considering also the scope of the project (Scop, the more ambitious the project is, the higher value):
PG = Qual * Scop, 0.8 <= Scop <= 1.2, 0 <= Qual <= 10 (PG will be truncated to fit in the range [0, 10])
IF will be obtained from the perception of the teacher during the course, and may involve the opinion of the student team mates:
