    Study Notes

    Key Concerns in Software

    • Security vulnerabilities significantly threaten software integrity and the safety of user data.

    Scale of Software Development

    • Software must be capable of development across diverse scales, from simple mobile applications to complex enterprise systems.

    Execution of Interactive Transaction-Based Applications

    • These applications operate in a client-server architecture, allowing them to execute both on the client side and server side.

    Local Application Systems

    • Standalone applications run on local computers and do not require an internet or network connection for functionality.

    Purpose of Batch Processing Systems

    • The primary function is to process large volumes of data without user intervention, optimizing resource efficiency.

    Modeling Systems

    • Systems that involve modeling physical processes or real-world situations are categorized as simulation systems.

    Software Engineering Ethics

    • Ethics in software engineering emphasizes responsibility for the impact of software on society, differing from general engineering ethics.

    Characteristics of Systems of Systems

    • Systems of systems are complex integrations of multiple independent systems that work together to create functionalities beyond the capabilities of individual systems.

    Main Function of Application Services in iLearn Architecture

    • Application services in iLearn architecture primarily facilitate the delivery of educational content and management of learning activities.

    Differences Between Independent and Integrated Services

    • Independent services function autonomously with minimal dependencies, while integrated services rely on collaboration and connections with other systems.

    High-Level Activities in Software Processes

    • Key activities include requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, and maintenance, forming the software development lifecycle.

    Essential Software Product Attributes

    • Attributes such as reliability, efficiency, usability, maintainability, and portability are crucial for high-quality software products.
