Study Notes
Software Engineering
- Systematic approach to software development, emphasizing quality, reliability, and maintainability.
- Involves various techniques, tools, and methodologies like requirements analysis, design, testing, and maintenance.
- Rapidly evolving field with constantly emerging tools and technologies to enhance software development.
Software Engineering Focus
- Primarily applied for large-scale software systems rather than individual programs or applications.
- Aims to develop high-quality software applications while optimizing budget, time, and efficiency.
- Ensures consistency, correctness, timely completion, and adherence to client requirements in software development.
Verification and Validation
- Verification: Checks if the software correctly implements its intended function.
- Validation: Confirms that the software meets the client's requirements.
System Stakeholders
- Individuals, groups, or organizations impacted by or interested in a system.
- Can be internal (within the organization developing or running the system) or external.
Types of System Stakeholders
- Primary Stakeholders: Directly involved or affected by the system (e.g., users, customers, managers, developers).
- Secondary Stakeholders: Indirectly impacted by the system (e.g., regulators, competitors, suppliers, general public).
- Tertiary Stakeholders: May experience indirect consequences of the system but have less direct involvement (e.g., future generations, the environment).
Software Design Techniques
- Methodologies used to structure a software system during planning and creation.
- Ensure the software system is organized effectively, efficient, maintainable, and meets desired requirements.
