    Study Notes

    Portability, Adaptability, and Interoperability

    • Portability: Software can be transferred seamlessly between different computer systems or environments.
    • Adaptability: Software can be modified to meet various system constraints and user requirements.
    • Interoperability: Enables two or more functional units to collaboratively process data.

    Advantages of Software Engineering

    • Improved Quality: Adopting established principles reduces bugs, leading to higher reliability in software products.
    • Increased Productivity: Modern tools and methodologies accelerate development processes, enabling faster project completion.
    • Better Maintainability: Software developed with solid engineering practices is simpler to maintain and update in the long run.
    • Reduced Costs: Early identification and resolution of potential issues minimize costs associated with bug fixes and feature updates.
    • Increased Customer Satisfaction: Involving customers in development enhances the creation of software that aligns closely with their needs and expectations.
    • Better Team Collaboration: Agile methodologies and continuous integration foster enhanced coordination and teamwork among developers.
    • Better Scalability: Designing with scalability ensures the software accommodates growing user numbers and transaction volumes effectively.
    • Better Security: Adhering to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and conducting rigorous security testing strengthens protective measures against breaches and safeguards sensitive information.
