    Study Notes

    Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

    • Requirements analysis and specification occurs in the requirements phase of the SDLC.

    Software Design Concepts

    • Coupling refers to the degree of interdependence among modules within a program, indicating how closely linked the modules are.

    Data Transformation Design

    • Data flow design focuses on transforming input data into output data within a software system.

    UML Diagrams

    • A use case diagram in UML represents a set of use cases, actors, and their relationships, illustrating system functionality from an end-user perspective.

    Software Testing Types

    • White-box testing involves examining the internal structure or workings of the software being tested.

    Unified Development Process (UDP)

    • The Unified Development Process emphasizes an iterative and incremental approach, promoting adaptability in software development.

    Preventive Maintenance

    • Characteristics not associated with preventive maintenance include reactive measures, as it seeks to avoid future issues rather than address existing ones.

    System Reliability

    • In reliability contexts, anomaly refers to a deviation of a system from its normal behavior.

    Configuration Management

    • Configuration management in software engineering primarily focuses on controlling and tracking changes to software, documentation, and related artifacts.

    SEI CMM

    • SEI CMM stands for Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model, which assesses an organization's process maturity.

    Behavioral Testing

    • Black-box testing is also known as behavioral testing or input/output testing, which evaluates the functionality without peering into the internal code.

    CASE Tools

    • The main purpose of using Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools is to enhance productivity and improve the quality of software engineering processes.

    COCOMO Model

    • The COCOMO model is utilized for estimating the cost and effort involved in software projects.

    Re-engineering

    • 'Re-engineering' in software engineering refers to the process of restructuring and modifying existing software to improve performance or adapt to new environments.

    Debugging

    • 'Debugging' primarily involves identifying and removing errors or bugs in software code to ensure proper functionality.

    Availability in Software Reliability

    • In the context of software reliability, availability refers to the proportion of time a system is operational and functioning as required.
