  8. www.hndit.com Software Engineering Introduction Learning Outcomes • Appreciate the problems associated with developing software • Understanding the need for a managed approach to software development • Be able to define the term ‘Software Engineering’ • Identify software quality attributes and their classification

  9. www.hndit.com Student Center Activity with First Chapter

  10. www.hndit.com Software Instructions given to a computer (computer programs)  Systems software  Application software

  11. www.hndit.com Types of software • System Software: System software is a collection of programs written to service the other programs. eg. Operating systems, drivers, compilers communication software.

  12. www.hndit.com Types of software… • Web-based software: • The network becomes a massive computer providing an almost unlimited software resources that can be accessed by anyone with a modem. • Artificial intelligence software: All software makes use of non numerical algorithms to solve the complex problems that are not amenable to computing or straightforward analysis.

  13. www.hndit.com Hardware vs Software cost software hardware Time 1960 2002

  14. Failure curve for hardware [Pressman] www.hndit.com Failure rate Wear out Infant mortality Time

  15. Failure rate Failure curves for software -Pressman www.hndit.com Increase failure rates due to side effects change Actual curve Idealized curve Time

  16. www.hndit.com Development Failures Examples IBM Survey, 2000 • 55% of systems cost more than expected • 68% overran the schedules • 88% had to be substantially redesigned Bureau of Labour Statistics (2001) • for every 6 new systems put into operation, 2 cancelled • probability of cancellation is about 50% for large systems • average project overshoots schedule by 50%

  17. www.hndit.com The Statistics

  18. www.hndit.com Distribution of software cost over life cycle • Requirements capture • Requirement specification 14% • Design • Implementation • Testing 6% • Maintenance 60% 40%

  19. www.hndit.com Software Problems • Time Schedules and cost estimates of many software projects are grossly inaccurate. 2. Software is costly. 3. The quality of software is not satisfactory. 4. Software is difficult to maintain. 5. The productivity of software people is not satisfactory to meet the demand.

  20. What makes software special? The main difference in software engineering compared to other engineering disciplines are listed below. • It is difficult for a customer to specify requirements completely. • It is difficult for the developer to understand fully the customer needs. • Software requirements change regularly. • Software is primarily intangible; much of the process of creating software is also intangible, involving experience, thought and imagination. • It is difficult to test software exhaustively. www.hndit.com

  21. www.hndit.com A Solution – Software Engineering • Greater emphasis on systematic , scientific development. • Computer assistance in software development (CASE) • A concentration on finding out the user’s requirements • Formal/Semi Formal specification of the requirements of a system. • Demonstration of early version of a system (prototyping) • Grater emphasis on development of error free easy to understand code.

  22. Software engineering approach www.hndit.com • What is the software engineering? Software engineering is an engineering discipline which is concerned with all aspects of software production from the early stages of system specification through to maintaining the system after it has gone into use. In this definition there are two key phrases. • What is the difference between software engineering and computer science? Computer science is theory and fundamentals; software engineering is concerned with the practicalities of developing and delivering useful software. • What is the difference between software engineering and system engineering? System engineering is concerned with all aspects of computer-based system development, including hardware, software and processor engineering. Software engineering is a part of this process

  23. www.hndit.com Evolution of software engineering • Software development began as a single person activity in 1940s and 1950s. • Software engineering was considered a new scientific discipline in 1960s and 1970s. • In 1980s and 1990s engineering ideas dominated software development

  24. www.hndit.com Software Engineering Simple definition : • Designing, building and maintaining large software systems. Others • => ‘Software engineering is concerned with the theories, methods and tools for developing, managing and evolving software products’ - I Sommerville

  25. => ‘The practical application of scientific knowledge in the design and construction of computer programs and the associated documentation required to develop, operate and maintain them’ - B.W.Bohem => ‘ The establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines’ - F.L. Bauer => ‘The application of systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software’ - IEEE Standard 610.12 www.hndit.com

  26. www.hndit.com Software Engineering – Definition ‘Use of systematic, engineering approach in all stages of software development and project management to develop high quality and economical software using appropriate software tools.’

  28. www.hndit.com Software Quality Attributes Bohem’s Classification • Current usefulness - The qualities expected from a software system in user’s point of view. • Potential Usefulness - The qualities expected from a software system in developer’s point of view.

  29. www.hndit.com Current usefulness • Efficiency • Reliability • Usability • Correctness • User friendliness • Robustness

  30. www.hndit.com Potential usefulness • Maintainability • Modularity • Reusability • Portability

  31. www.hndit.com McCall’s Classification • Product operation • Product revision • Product transition

  32. www.hndit.com Product Operation • Efficiency • Correctness • User friendliness • Usability • Reliability • Robustness

  33. www.hndit.com Product Revision • Maintainability • Flexibility • Testability Product Transition • Interoperability • Reusability • Portability

  34. Software Maintenance Any software system needs to be changed. Maintenance is the costliest operation in the software development process (about 60%). Software need to be changed due to various reasons. • Errors in the system. • Changes in the user requirements • Availability of new technology • Changes in the enterprise or Govt. policy. www.hndit.com

  35. www.hndit.com Review Questions • Look at the following list of goals of software a) Meeting the user’s needs b) Low cost of production c) High Performance d) Portability e) Low cost of maintenance f) High Reliability e) Delivery on time

  36. www.hndit.com For each of the following systems choose the two most important goals. • A system to manage student fees – to track whether they have paid, calculate the correct amount, issue invoices, send out reminders etc. • A system to manage the temperature of a nuclear reactor core. • An experimental program to test the efficiency of an algorithm for some mathematical theory. • A program that allows viewing of cricket scores on mobile phones.

  37. www.hndit.com 2. Which stage of software development is most expensive? 3. Where are the most errors introduced in software projects? 4. What do project managers say is the worst problem (consequence) in software projects? 5. ‘All Microsoft software is bug free ‘ – Bill Gates Is he correct? 6. Define the term ‘Software Engineering’.
