Study Notes
Software Engineering Fundamentals
- Software engineering systematically designs, develops, tests, and maintains software to ensure high quality, reliability, and maintainability.
- It employs various techniques, tools, and methodologies, including requirements analysis, design, testing, and maintenance.
- This rapidly evolving field continuously integrates new tools and technologies to enhance software development.
- Software engineering is predominantly used for large software systems rather than individual programs or applications.
- The primary goal is to develop software applications efficiently, within budget, and on time, while adhering to quality standards and client requirements.
Verification and Validation
- Verification confirms that software functions correctly as per its design.
- Validation ensures that the software meets client requirements.
System Stakeholders
- System stakeholders are individuals or entities impacted by a system, either directly or indirectly.
- Primary stakeholders are directly involved (e.g., users, customers, developers, managers).
- Secondary stakeholders are indirectly affected (e.g., regulators, competitors, suppliers, the public).
- Tertiary stakeholders experience indirect impacts with less direct involvement (e.g., future generations, the environment).
Software Design Techniques
- Software design techniques are methodologies for structuring software systems.
- They promote well-organized, efficient, maintainable, and requirement-meeting systems.
