  5. Software Engineering (SE) • Def: An engineering discipline concerned with all aspects of sw production • practicality of developing sw • delivering useful & high quality sw • cost effective • The field of Software Engineering (SE) was born to overcome “software crisis“ (1968) • failures of software projects to meet schedule and budget constraints • SE has many sw development approaches

  6. Software (SW) • What is SW? • Computer programs + associated documentation and configuration data • Characteristics of SW • Abstract & intangible • Not constrained by material • Not governed by physical laws /manufacturing process - computer programs - configuration files - system documentation - user documentation - website Software

  7. Software (SW) • Types of Software • Generic product • Stand-alone, sold in open market • Customised product • Custom-built for particular customer

  8. Software Process • A set of activities and associated results that produce a software product • Generic activities in all software processes are: • Specification - what the system should do and its development constraints • Development - production of the software system • Validation - checking that the software is what the customer wants • Evolution - changing the software in response to changing demands

  9. Software process model • A simplified representation of a software process, presented from a specific perspective: • Workflow model - sequence of activities • Data-flow model - information flow • Role/action model - who does what • Generic process models • Waterfall • Iterative Development • Component based Software Engineering

  10. Attributes of good software • Maintainability • evolve to meet changing needs • Dependability • Software must be trustworthy • Efficiency • Software should not make wasteful use of system resources • Usability • Software must be usable by the users for which it was designed

  11. Software Engineering Methods • Structured approaches to software development which include system models, notations, rules, design advice and process guidance • Model descriptions • Descriptions of graphical models which should be produced • Rules • Constraints applied to system models (e.g. every entity have a unique name) • Recommendations • Advice on good design practice • Process guidance • What activities to follow • 1970s – Structured Analysis (JSD) • 1980s - OO methods (Booch, Rumbaugh) • 1990s – Unified approach

  12. CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) • Software tools which are intended to provide automated support for software process activities. • Upper-CASE (Tools to support the early process activities of requirements and design) • Lower-CASE (Tools to support later activities such as programming, debugging and testing)

  13. Key Challenges SW ENG • Heterogeneity • Delivery • Trust

  14. Professional Ethics of Software Engineer • Confidentiality • Should not misrepresent own level of competence • Intellectual property rights • Computer Misuse
