Study Notes
Software Application Domains
- Types of software: System Software, Application Software, Embedded Software, Web Applications, Artificial Intelligence.
- Key application domains include Banking, Government, Manufacturing, Education, Entertainment, Defense, Medicine, Research.
Digital Transformation
- Encompasses the integration of digital technology into all areas of business and society.
- Examples include social networking platforms (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn), online banking, and smart agriculture.
Real World Software Development
- Involves collaborative team efforts rather than individual contributions.
- Prioritizes user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive documentation.
- Complexity in software demands careful design and specification.
- Formalized testing and quality assurance are crucial due to the critical nature of software use.
Challenges in Software Development
- Difficulties arise from unique user expectations and communication barriers.
- Software's intangible nature leads to concentrated costs in engineering rather than production.
- Legal issues, such as intellectual property rights and liability, complicate development.
Quality Software Attributes
- Must fulfill specifications, be timely, robust, and reliable.
- Adaptability, reusability, interoperability, and efficiency are key in maintaining quality.
- User-friendliness, portability, security, and efficacy are also essential components.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Phases include Requirements Gathering, Planning, Analysis and Design, Development, Testing, and Deployment.
- Each stage has a clear purpose, ensuring alignment with client needs and project objectives.
SDLC Models
- Waterfall Model: Sequential phases that expect complete requirements from the start; risky for large projects, testing occurs only at the end.
- Incremental Model: Development occurs in increments allowing early delivery of functional parts; accommodates evolving requirements over time.
Software Development Phases
- Requirements Gathering: Capturing client needs and creating the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document.
- Planning: Resource allocation, risk identification, and budget estimation for the project.
- Testing: Validating functionality against requirements post-development.
Importance of Proper Software Management
- Effective testing and iterations in the SDLC minimize project risks and potential failures.
- Quality assurance measures ensure the software adheres to user needs and industry standards.
- Continuous feedback from clients and users enhances product reliability and satisfaction.
