Study Notes
Software Engineering Process
- The implementation stage involves developing an executable software system.
Software Design
- Software design is the process of creating a detailed specification of the software system, focusing on its structure, components, and relationships.
COTS System
- A COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) system is a pre-existing software system that is available for purchase or license, and can be used as-is or with some modifications to meet specific requirements.
Software Design and Implementation
- There is a close relationship between software design and implementation activities, as the design specifications serve as input for the implementation stage, and the implementation stage realizes the design specifications.
