Course Objective

It is essential that any GIS application development activity meets user requirements and that it is
on time, in budget and in accordance with quality standards. These goals will be greatly facilitated if a rigorous
software engineering approach is adopted. The basic idea in software engineering is that development is split up
into a series of independent steps which are carried out in sequence
