Laboratory Experiments

  • Lab work running case study problem — Lab work should include a running case study problem for which different deliverables at the end of each phase of a software development life cycle are to be developed. This will include modeling the requirements, architecture and detailed design. Subsequently the design models will be coded and tested. For modeling, tools like Rational Rose products. For coding and testing, IDE like Eclipse, Net Beans, and Visual Studio can be used.
