Design of Software Systems – Best Practices

This introductory course explores the main approaches to handling risks associated with software projects - developed by analyzing thousands of successful and unsuccessful projects. These approaches are known as “best practices of software engineering”:
 

• Develop Iteratively;
• Manage Requirements;
• Use Component Architectures;
• Model Visually (UML);
• Continuously Verify Quality;
• Manage Change.

The practices, implementation rules and CASWE tools are described in the IBM Rational Unified Process on their website. The presentation includes a detailed description of the roles, artifacts and activities in software development processes including best practices.

1. Provide guidelines for software project activities that can significantly reduce the risk of project failure. The practices are strongly related to CMMI level 2.
2. Define the role of IBM RUP methodology as a framework of best practices.

• Best practice – Develop Iteratively.
• Best practice – Manage Requirements.
• Best practice – Use Component Architectures.
• Best practice – Model Visually (UML).
• Best practice – Continuously Verify Quality.
• Best practice – Manage Change.
• IBM RUP as a framework of best practices.
