Study Notes

Software Engineering Impact

Software has enabled remarkable progress over the last 50 years, with societies relying heavily on large professional software systems for national utilities and infrastructure.
Software has facilitated space exploration and created the World Wide Web, the most significant information system in human history.
Smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous, with a thriving apps industry emerging in recent years.

Global Challenges

Humanity faces pressing challenges, including climate change, declining natural resources, population growth, international terrorism, and elderly care.
Software will play a central role in addressing these challenges.

Software Engineering Importance

Software engineering is critically important for the future of humanity on this planet.
The demand for software engineers is growing exponentially every year.

Industrial Revolutions

Software engineering is at the center of today's industrial revolution (Industry 4.0 and moving towards Industry 5.0).
The evolution of industrial revolutions:
- Industry 1.0: Mechanization (1784)
- Industry 2.0: Electricity and Mass Production (1870)
- Industry 3.0: Automation (1969)
- Industry 4.0: Cyber-Physical Systems
- Industry 5.0: Cyber-Physical Cognitive Systems

Software Development Process

There is no universal process model for software development that is suitable for every situation.
The right process depends on factors such as customer and legal regulations, environmental considerations, and software type.
Software development life cycle is a simplified representation of the software process.
Various software process model approaches include:
- Waterfall: suitable for security-critical software, strict documentation, and legal regulations.
- Incremental: suitable for high uncertainty, short duration, fast initial release, and gradual development.
- Integration: focuses on reusability, off-the-shelf systems, and restructuring.

Agile Software Development

Agile approach is suitable for businesses operating in a rapidly changing environment.
