Course description and aims

[Purpose]
Students learn through practical training techniques and practical skills about requirements analysis and design skills for software.

[Overview]
Students learn about requirement acquisition methods such as goal-oriented analysis and scenario analysis, methodologies such as object-oriented methods and structured methods, as well as about reviews of requirements and design and product quality techniques. Students use these techniques to specify examples, and everyone presents, compares, and discusses their findings.

Student learning outcomes

[Achievement goals] By taking this course, students learn (from the overview section) 1) techniques of the upstream process of software development and 2) techniques for improving product quality. Through practical training, students reach the level needed to carry out actual development.
[Topics] This course deals with techniques of the upstream process of software development and techniques for improving product quality.
