    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.
