This course is mainly developed for software engineers (i.e. engaged in various project roles such as analyst, architect, designer, developers, testers and maintenance support) and software process engineers who are looking for a basic foundation in Software Life Cycle (SLC) processes and best practices.

This course will walk the participants through the different stages of the SLC, understand its key practice areas, learn the tools & techniques, and identify the basic entry/exit criteria at each stage. The course utilizes IEEE Computer Society’s Guide to Software Engineering (SWEBOK) as a standard in the attainment of consistent and common understanding of the Software Engineering processes.

• Software Engineers that played various roles in project (like analyst, designers, developers, testers and maintenance support) who would want to have a solid foundation in the SLC processes and best practices
• Software Process Engineers who like to have a complete and clear understanding of the SLC

• Knowledge of software engineering and/or management
• Awareness of process management concepts

• Understand the Software Life Cycle (SLC) processes
• Identify the basic entry and exit criteria at each stages of the SLC
• Know and apply the tools and techniques at each stages of the SLC
• Produce key deliverables at each stage of the SLC
• Recognize the management control mechanism and visibility at each stages of the SLC
• Use and apply version and configuration management
• Know the best practices at each stages of the SLC
