COURSE OBJECTIVES
The system analysis and design is the backbone of Application software development. After studying the subject the students will be able to develop and design the system according to given requirements.
It involves various steps in analysis and design of the system. It includes the knowledge of preparing project systematically. It is important to know about various aspects of the system analysis and design so that the students will be able to understand the responsibilities while designing and implementing the project.
COURSE OUTCOMES
After successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- CO1: Understand the basic concepts of software development.
- CO2: Classify life cycle models and their comparison.
- CO3: Will be able to write the SRS for the given problem and project planning estimation techniques.
- CO4: Explain various software design strategies.
- CO5: Explain about different testing methods, need for testing.
