Course Description
This course presents the key components and processes involved in the effective
creation and governance of enterprise architectures. An enterprise architecture is an
overall framework and strategic objective for the usage of technology over time across
an organization; it provides a plan and objectives that align business goals with ICT
strategy, to enable the organization to make the most effective use of ICT to support and
build the business. Students will acquire knowledge about all of these aspects of
enterprise architectures, learn what the choices are and how to make them for enterprise
architectures, and be able to explain and present their decisions.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
• Students will be expected to understand the key processes, knowledge and usage
of software requirements engineering acquired in COSC2275 Software
Requirements Engineering.
• In addition the capabilities being acquired in this course will be complemented by
those acquired in the courses ISYS1088 Systems Architecture and INTE2412 IT
Governance and Change Management.

Note: This is a Masters-level course.
Course Description
This course is an introduction to systematic software reuse. Topics covered include:
reuse library, component-based development, domain engineering, program generation
and customization, and software product lines. Students will also learn various
techniques for developing reusable software, such as XSLT, Frame Technology,
Templates, Design Patterns and Object-Oriented Framework.
This course is primarily for students who have a software engineering background and it
requires some prior experiences in software development.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
• ISYS1117 Software Engineering Analysis and Design
• COSC1295 Java for Programmers

Course Description
This is an introduction to software testing principles and practices in industry. We will
discuss practical software testing goals and approaches to testing software at various
levels - from end user application level to source code level through all phases of the
Software Development Lifecycle. The course material will include the following -
software quality standards and metrics, types of testing, function and performance
testing, test planning, test case generation, shipping criteria, estimating test resources,
scheduling tests, object-oriented factors in testing, assessing risks, prioritizing tests,
automation strategy, defect management, test execution, the end game before final
shipping and post ship test and support issues. Software quality assurance activities will
be discussed as part of a dynamic process that is flexible and constantly tuned to the
changing needs of a project.
