Software Engineering Concept Map and PaperThe Final Project for this course is an accumulation of previous weeks’ interactive assignments in which you will utilize all of the skills you have acquired in this course to develop a Software Engineering Concept Map and Paper. In each week of the course, you created various sections of your Software Engineering Concept Map. Now you will combine all the sections you have developed into one final concept map that demonstrates your knowledge of software engineering design and development.In Week 1, you identified different software engineering processes and methods in which you illustrated and made connections among the concepts of software engineering. In addition, you described the function of each software process and method. In Week 2, you illustrated different software development methods and explained the processes used for software development and software requirements engineering. In Week 3, you illustrated the perspective of context, interaction, structure and behavior modeling (System Modeling and Architectural Design). In addition, you described the differences between applying each model; system architecture from different perspectives of software components; how architectural patterns are used to present, share, and reuse knowledge; and the MVC pattern as used in Layered and Client-Server architecture. In Week 4, you illustrated the three major aspects of design and implementation in software engineering and described software reuse at different levels, the benefits of software reuse, the fundamental configuration management activities, and the host-target development platform. You also explained various types of software testing and the three stages of development testing. Finally, in Week 5, you illustrated the components of software evolution, showed the logical elements of a legacy system, and described their relationships.Part I: Final Software Engineering Concept MapFor the Final Software Engineering Concept Map, review the feedback you received from your peers and/or instructor and incorporate any feedback you received for all five concept maps. Combine all the sections you have developed into one final concept map.Part II: PaperIn your paper:Outline the features of contemporary Software Engineering, within the context of: Software development, software engineering, software process, process models, process activities, software design and implementation, software validations, and evolution.Describe software engineering development techniques, including agile and plan-driven methodologies, requirements engineering processes, specifications, use cases, validations, and change management.Explain how various system modeling fundamentals, including context-models, interaction-models, structural-models, and behavioral-models, lead to architectural design, architectural views, architectural patterns, and application architectures.Describe how system modeling is applied in developing object-oriented software, architectural design, and implementation.Describe the various software testing plans to include development, release, user testing phases, the mechanisms to control software changes or evolution processes, and software maintenance.Describe how you might use these concepts about software engineering in future courses and/or future jobs.The Software Engineering Concept Map and PaperMust include a concept map.Must be a minimum of 1,200 to 1,500 words in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center (Links to an external site.).Must include a separate title page with the following:Title of paperStudent’s nameCourse name and numberInstructor’s nameDate submittedMust use at least two scholarly and/or credible sources in addition to the course text.The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read Chapter 3: Agile Software Development and Chapter 4: Requirements Engineering in the course text. It is also recommended that you begin reviewing Chapter 3 exercises 3.2 and 3.3 and Chapter 4 exercises 4.2 and 4.4, as these will be your homework assignment due later in the week. In this week’s interactive assignment, you will add to your concept map that you started in Week 1 and further illustrate and make connections among the concepts of software development and requirements engineering. This week’s section of the concept map is focused on software development and requirements engineering. In your concept map, illustrate different software development methods, and explain the processes used for real-life software development and software requirements engineering. Be sure to label each component, and describe the function of each. In addition to your concept map, you will write a paper in which you will Summarize the Scrum sprint cycle in the context of agile project management. Explain agile development techniques, including the Extreme Programming (XP) process and user stories. Specify practical concerns with agile methods. Describe the fundamental requirements in scaling agile methods to integrate with plan-driven methods. Describe the concepts of user and systems requirements. Describe how they need to be documented differently. Explain the differences between functional and non-functional requirements. List the main activities for requirements elicitation, analysis, and validation. Discuss the relationship among these activities.
