The software development process (SDP) plays an important basic role in software engineering education. Every software is developed in accordance with a specific SDP which contains all phases of software development. SDP education helps students to understand the overall techniques and the process of software engineering. This paper introduces a software development methodology (i.e., process) - ‘OOPT (Object Oriented Process with Traceability),’ which was proposed for use in university software engineering classes. The OOPT is based on object-oriented software development, and it defines concrete requirements as well as outputs of each process/phases. It also contains the unit/system testing and a traceability analysis. We have used the OOPT in software engineering classes at Konkuk university for eight years. This paper conveys our experience as well as future extension and improvement plans.
