3. Objective and content

3.1 Objective

Förmågan att utveckla datorbaserade system som möter eller befäster säkerhetskraven som ställs är en central och viktig del i varje system. Detta kräver kunskap om de olika modeller som finns för både systemutveckling och modeller kring att säkra dessa system. Kursen syftar till att ge studenten grundläggande kunskap om hur utveckling av programvarusystem går till. Genom utveckling av ett mindre system, eller stödsystem, inom säkerhetsområdet i mindre arbetsteam tillämpas kunskaperna om hur utveckling av programvarusystem sker. Kursen behandlar också begreppet säkerhet av ett system från perspektivet programvaruutveckling.

3.2 Content

Grundläggande begrepp och processer inom programvaruutveckling.
Utvecklingsprocessen för programvara. Processmodellering. Kravhantering. Testning.
Arkitekturdesign och modellering med Unified Modeling Language (UML). Projektstyrning. Projektuppföljning. Projektdokumentation. Systemattributet säkerhet, terminologi, typer av säkerhetskrav, principiell riskanalys av säkerhetskrav. Säkerhet i utvecklingsprocessen.

Planering, organisation och uppföljning av programvaruprojekt i team: åtagandekultur, projektorganisation, olika roller i projekt,
projektplanering och uppföljning, testplanering och rapportering, leveransplanering och dokumentation.
Analys och reflektion av individens och gruppens arbete: rapportskrivning. Muntlig presentation.

The examiner may carry out oral follow-up of written examinations.

The information before a course occasion states the assessment criteria and make explicit in which modes of examination that the learning outcomes are assessed.

An examiner can, after consulting the Disability Advisor at BTH, decide on a customized examination form for a student with a long-term disability to be provided with an examination equivalent to one given to a student who is not disabled.

7. Course evaluation

The course evaluation should be carried out in line with BTH:s course evaluation template and process.
