Study Notes

Software Engineering Code of Ethics

  • The Software Engineering Code of Ethics emphasizes meeting the highest professional standards possible, considering public interest, client and employer interests, and product quality.

Proto-Personas

  • They are quick, assumption-based representations of users.
  • They accelerate user-centered design.
  • They are used to represent a user's needs and behaviors during the design process.

Software Engineering

  • A set of guidelines for professional conduct in software engineering.
  • A framework for organizing software projects.
  • A code that defines the principles of software engineering.
  • It is a systematic approach to tackling complex problems.

Design Thinking Framework

  • Emphasizes empathy for users
  • Focuses on identifying root causes of problems.

Frameworks

  • The SWOT Analysis framework is useful for assessing a product's position in the market.

Mind Mapping

  • Helps in brainstorming ideas visually, and organizing them.

Incremental Model

  • A software development model where software is developed in small increments.
  • Each increment adds a new feature or functionality to the software.
  • The final product is delivered in smaller, more manageable increments.
  • This allows for early user feedback and iterative development.

Rational Decision-Making Model

  • Provides a systematic, logical approach to making decisions.

Phoenix Checklist

  • Ideal for remote teams.
  • A question-based CIA method focusing on user empathy.

Core Processes in Software Engineering

  • Requirements Engineering
  • Design and Implementation
  • Testing and Debugging
  • Marketing and Sales is not a core process activity in software engineering.
