Managing Software Engineering in LabVIEW Course builds upon the software engineering process that was covered in the LabVIEW Core 3 Course. This course expands upon this knowledge by focusing on the LabVIEW tools and industry practices that aid in the definition, management, design, development, validation, and deployment of a quality solution. The course teaches common practices for managing large, team oriented, application development projects from specification to deployment.

| Lesson | Overview | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | This lesson introduces you to the software development process and defines the role of a LabVIEW Architect. You also will learn about tools to monitor and control the evolution of a software product |
|
| Requirements Gathering | In this lesson, you will learn how to plan a LabVIEW project and how to identify appropriate tools for managing a project and tracking its progress. You also will learn how to estimate the time required to complete a project. This lesson culminates in the creation of a project plan for development of a LabVIEW project. |
|
| Design | This lesson describes tools and practices you can use to aid in designing a LabVIEW project. You will learn how to develop a graphical model of the application, how to develop a prototype for the user interface, and how to develop a design document that will be used throughout project development. |
|
| Development | In this lesson, you will become familiar with tools in LabVIEW to improve the development of LabVIEW projects. You will learn about existing tools for automating development tasks as well as how to develop your own. You also will learn how to prepare for and conduct an effective code review. |
|
| Validation | This lesson covers the importance of testing code for performance and functionality. You will examine tools you can use to analyze and validate your code. |
|
| Deployment | In this lesson, you learn how to develop different types of build specifications depending on your deployment requirements. The lesson also helps you become familiar with the challenges that can arise when deploying your application for different types of targets and operating systems. |
