Study Notes
Software Engineering
- Software engineering focuses on the reliable and efficient development of software through engineering principles.
- Software is engineered and developed, not manufactured.
- Software features include multi-usage, custom builds, and no wear and tear.
Tools
- Tools provide support for software engineering projects.
- Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) integrates hardware, software, and databases for engineering software.
Methods
- Methods offer technical instructions for building software.
- Methods provide technical knowledge for development.
Process
- The process layer provides the foundation for software engineering.
- It helps manage the timely development of software.
Quality Focus
- Quality focus ensures the reliability and effectiveness of software.
- The end product is tested against its specifications.
Software Engineering Models
- Waterfall Model - A sequential model where each phase must be completed before moving to the next.
- Prototyping Model- An early version of a product used for testing concepts and processes.
- Spiral Model - Combines the iterative development model and waterfall model with a strong emphasis on risk analysis.
- V Model - Sequential model shaped like a "V" that emphasizes verification and validation.
Measures, Metrics, and Indicators
- Measure - Provides a numerical indication of attributes, dimensions, or capacity of a product or process.
- Indicator - A metric or set of metrics that offers insights into software processes, projects, or products.
- Process Indicator - Offers insight into the effectiveness of existing software engineering processes.
- Project Indicator - Helps assess the progress and status of ongoing projects.
