Software Engineering

Software engineering is an engineering discipline focused on all aspects of software production. It intersects with system engineering, which deals with the broader scope of computer-based systems development, including hardware and process engineering.

Software Engineering

Software Engineering

key challenges

need to continue maintaining for years
need for interface w other SW systems
customer-supplier business model (lack of info., trustworthiness, cooperation
limited possibility to detect defects
high logical complexity
heterogeneity, delivery and trust

attributes of good SW

transition properties
interoperability
reusability
portability
revision properties
testability
flexibility
operation properties
usability
integrity
reliability
correctness
acceptability
efficiency
dependability
maintainability

CASE

lower-CASE: to support later activites (programming, debugging and testing)
upper-CASE: to support the earl process activites of requirement and design

costs of SWE

distribution of costs depends on the development model that is used
costs vary depening on
requirement of sys attributes
type of sys being developed
60% of costs: development costs. 40%: testing costs

SW process

generic activities
evolution
validation
development
specification
set of activites whose goal is the development or evolution of SW

SWE and systen engineering

SysE: concerned w all aspects of computer-based systems development (HW,SW, process eng.). SWE: is part of this process concerned w developing the SW infrastructure, control, applications and DB in the system

SWE and CS

CS theories are still insufficient to act as complete underpinning for SWE
CS: concerned with theory and fundamentals. SWE: concerned with the practicalities of developing and delivering a useful sw

what is SWE?

an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of SW production

SW costs

SWE is concerned w cost-effective SW development
SW costs more to maintain as it does to develop
often dominate computer system costs

what is a software?

software products
bespoke (custom)
generic
computer program and associated documentation
