Study Notes

Software and Engineering Basics

  • Software comprises programs with instructions that fulfill specific functionalities.
  • Engineering involves the design and construction of solutions, focusing on effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

Software Engineering Overview

  • Encompasses design, development, testing, and maintenance of software.
  • Emphasizes a systematic and disciplined method to produce high-quality, reliable, and maintainable software.

Key Principles of Software Engineering

  • Modularity: Decomposes software into smaller, reusable components for independent development and testing.
  • Abstraction: Conceals implementation details of components, exposing only essential functionalities.
  • Encapsulation: Bundles data and methods within an object, shielding internal state from outside interference.
  • Reusability: Facilitates the use of components across multiple projects, conserving time and resources.
  • Maintenance: Involves regular updates to fix bugs, enhance features, and improve security.
  • Testing: Confirms that software meets specified requirements and is devoid of errors.
  • Design Patterns: Offers established solutions for common problems in software design.
  • Agile Methodologies: Promotes iterative and incremental development, prioritizing customer satisfaction and swift delivery.
  • Continuous Integration & Deployment: Advocates the regular integration of code changes and their deployment into production.

Main Attributes of Software Engineering

  • Efficiency: Measures the resource requirements of software products effectively.
  • Reliability: Ensures consistent performance under similar conditions.
  • Reusability: Guarantees modules can be applied in various applications.
  • Maintainability: Allows for easy modification and enhancement of software in response to evolving requirements.
