Sommerville - Software Engineering

Critical Systems Engineering

This is a 1 semester course where I assume that there will be 20 lectures covering all stages of the software engineering process. I assume there will be tests and practical work associated with the course and you can find quizzes and solutions in the Instructors Only pages.
