    Objectives

    The MS Program in Software Management is the first program established in Turkey to target specialized software domain knowledge. The objectives of this program are to lead the advancement of software practice in Turkey, to disseminate the domain knowledge on principles, processes, methods and techniques required to manage the development and evolution of software systems, and to bring forth experts and scientists in this field. The program targets professionals in the field. The students in the program will gain the ability to systematically define and use the knowledge on software development processes, methodologies, techniques and metrics. The program offers courses on software project management, software quality management, software acquisition management, requirements analysis, software architectures and design, software testing, human computer interaction, and software operations and maintenance. For students to gain necessary experience, design and implementation are seen as an integral part of all courses. Students are also involved in a realistic team project to integrate the knowledge and experience built up in specialized courses.
    Career Opportunities

    The program prepares graduates for professional careers in organizations which acquire, develop, evolve and maintain software systems
    Program Structure

    Software Management is a non-thesis program. The students enrolled in the program are required to take four core courses and seven electives. The elective courses are divided into two categories as Software category and Software Domains category. Software category includes courses related to software management and software product engineering. Students need to take at least four courses in this category. Software Domains category includes courses on computing foundations and software application areas. Students can take up to three courses from this category. In addition, the students can also take courses from other programs such as MS in Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) and MS in Informatics Online (ION) as Software Domains electives. No prerequisite courses are specifically required to enter the program. However, the students are expected to have background knowledge on discrete mathematics and numerical methods, programming and algorithms, and management.

    Students enrolled in Software management program pay tuition fee based on the number of credit hours they register every semester. The amount of tuition fee per credit hour is determined at the beginning of every semester.

    Core Courses


    SM 501 Personal Software Process
    Description: The course introduces the basic principles of the personal software process and help individual engineers to improve their performance by bringing discipline to the way they develop software. Students start with the PSP0 process, where they use their current programming practices. The PSP process is enhanced through seven process versions, with students writing one or two programs with each PSP version. For each program, they use the process methods just introduced, as well as all of the methods introduced with the previous process versions.

    SM 502 Software Management
    Description: This course introduces the fundamentals and methods used in managing software development.

    SM 503 Object Oriented Software Development
    Description: The course introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented information system development with a focus on analysis and design phases. Data modeling and design principles such as data abstraction, information hiding, modularity, and coupling are viewed in the context of object-oriented paradigm. For object-oriented modeling Unified Modeling Language (UML) is introduced and used extensively throughout the course. Unified process is taken as the basis for development efforts. Issues relating to making the transition from other software development methodologies are examined and risks involved in object-oriented process are discussed.

    SM 504 Team Software Project
    Description: The course is designed for students to gain an understanding of issues of a real-world software project and enable them to apply their newly learned skills in a practical context. Students will be grouped into teams to undertake a software project with the tools, techniques and skills acquired during their previous course work. Each team will work as a software development group and assume the role of a quality assurance team for another group. The team will be assigned to a client and will interact with that client to engineer requirements, agree upon a design and achieve a successful acceptance test of a software system. Teams will meet on predetermined milestones with their faculty and quality assurance groups to discuss review results and progress.
