ITSD-111 (P): Case Study

The objective of this course is to understand the case study process by considering an information system. The students will select an information system and will identify the requirements for the analysis using UML models then they will apply the fuzzy based MCDM methods. At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the following:

How to analyse the existing documents related to an information system?

How to elicit the SRs using AND/OR graph?

How to analyse the SRs using UML models?

How to select the SRs using fuzzy based MCDM methods?

Course Contents:

Modeling of SRs using star UML tool, Construction of an AND/OR graph for SRs; Elicitation of complete set of SRs; Analysis of the SRs using Use-Case and Misuse-Case diagrams; Detection of conflictions among requirements using preference matrix; Applications of fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS in real world.

ITSD-112 (P): Software Requirements Implementation

The objective of this course is to implement the software requirements using some of the selected language like C/C++/HTML-CSS/PHP/Python, etc. At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the following:

Selection of one programming language according to the need of the requirements: C/C++/Java/HTML-CSS/PHP/Python.
Note: There will be a critical analysis on the selection of programming language with the subject experts

Implementation of at-least one software requirement of an information system using the selected language.
Note: Students will apply the fuzzy based MCDM method for the selection of top n requirements of an information system. Students will implement the top 1 and 2 requirements of an information system under the guidance of the subject experts.

Generation of test cases of the implemented requirements using:Black box testing/White box testing/Hybrid testing.
Note: After the implementation there will be a discussion on how to present our work/results in a training report.

ITSD-113 (P): Java Programming Lab

The objective of this course is to write the programs using Java programming language.
