Study Notes
Software Engineering in Industrial Practice (IN2235)
- This course covers software engineering in industrial practice
- It discusses traditional software development approaches, standard software development, open-source software development
- Four classes of software include graphics and media, business and data, machinery and network, and development and tools
- Key software classes are custom software development, standard software development, and open-source software development
- Standard and open-source are highly customizable and fully reusable
- Graphics and media software includes graphics; editing application (standard and open source), and graphics animation engine (custom and standard) commonly for games and TV
- Business and data classes include applications for productivity (standard and open source) and business information systems (custom and standard) used for information management
- Machinery and network systems include technical control systems and network communication systems (open source) for operating a physical/virtual computing device
- Software development tools and kits libraries and frameworks of reusable functionality for developing software
- There are also operating system tools for high-level operating physical virtual computing devices
Software Development Approaches
- Four kinds of software development approaches exist: prototyping, bricolage, craftsmanship, and engineering
- Software prototyping involves creating a sample or model of a software solution to test concepts
- Software bricolage involves integrating partial solutions to prove feasibility
- Software craftsmanship focuses on developing production-grade solutions with professional skill
- Software engineering is a systematic application of engineering principles for complex problems to create production-grade solutions
Software Engineering Metamodel
- Software engineering can be understood through a metamodel based on four linked models
- Craftsmanship addresses the "how" and "why" of individual developer practices, tools, and templates
- Discipline specifies different areas in which engineers are engaged, covering different inputs and outputs
- Workflow describes sequences of activities related to tasks, and contains components and steps
- Process outlines phases and actors in project timelines with horizontal tracks of roles and vertical periods
Software Engineering in Disciplines
- SE is understood through 20 different disciplines grouped into 10 general areas
- Each area is further categorized into 5 different inclinations
- These areas include business-oriented and domain-specific, constructive and technological, analytical and domain-specific, people-oriented and process-oriented, and adjustment categories.
- Disciplines focus on different life-cycle phases
- Each inclination has unique aspects depending on the category
Software Engineering Workflow
- Workflow model describes how work gets segregated
- Cycles include business, development and operations
- Each cycle has 5 inclinations that represent how people engage within the process
- Each cycle's phases involve steps like understanding user needs, specifying solution, design, implementation, testing, deployment, operation, and monitoring
- Cycles can be interlinked, allowing for adjustments and iterative improvements
- Additional cycles involve product and project management
Software Engineering Artefacts
- There are four major sets of artefacts involved
- These include software requirements specifications, the customer journey, functional requirements, and several more components.
- They are represented in textual and graphical formats, helping to define and structure the software being built
Uncertainty & Elaboration
- The cone of uncertainty defines the level of variability in project scope, time, or cost that can be expected
- Walking skeletons are defined in early phases, focusing on foundational aspects of the project
- The software’s requirements basics specify the project purpose, details, and necessary requirements.
- They could also influence if adjustments to the original plans are made.
