Abstract

The software engineering teaching is a true challenge. Indeed software engineering technology is only justified for large projects or long-term applications maintenance ; aspects impossible to show at the time of introductory course.In order to circumvent these difficulties, we propose a new approach of software development teaching which we called "Docware". It is a documentation centered process: the software product is no longer regarded as a source file that is documented afterwards, but as a set of documents whose source file is one product among others.After having specified our teaching objectives, we describe this approach which uses new tools that we developed and used for several years. A report of the use of this approach concludes this paper.
