    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.
