Presentation
Presentation
The course presents the foundations of Software Engineering, structuring the concepts in an integrated manner to promote effective communication among organizations and their various stakeholders. In parallel, it adopts a practical perspective focused on application in an industrial context. In the theoretical classes, the main stages of the software development process are addressed, considering both classical and agile approaches. In the practical classes, the concepts are applied to problems close to professional reality, using CASE tools. Throughout the semester, students develop a Project Plan for a system previously specified in the course Analysis and Systems Design and, at the end, produce a Project Report documenting the work carried out.
