Short Description of module

The module Software Process Engineering looks at the role of the software architect in an agile environment. Traditionally, software architects were responsible for the design and technological decisions of the software development process. Over the past decade, the traditional role of the software architect has changed. Agile development methodologies has meant the adoption of tools and practices that help avoid or decouple up front systems or architectural design. Agile teams focus on smaller local decisions, restructuring the system through refactoring maintaining the development pace. In this module, students will be introduced to the main software development methodologies and development operations (DevOps) processes designed to support the development of software and software based systems. As part of this module, students will examine the challenges that architects, developers and testers face in this environment and strategies and best practices to minimise risk and maximise the quality of the software produced.
