Software engineering
There is more to software and application development than writing and compiling code. Whether you are developing
for the desktop or for mobile devices, the complete lifecycle can involve many phases, starting with requirements,
modeling, and design and continuing all the way through testing, quality control, and final deployment.
IBM's academic resources can help you teach about every phase of the software development lifecycle — and ensure your students get hands-on experience with the most up-to-date, collaborative environment and tools.
