Study Notes
Introduction to Software Process Modeling
- Software Process Modeling introduced in 2017 at SLIIT by Prof. Pradeepa Samarasinghe.
- Lecture panel includes Ms. Samanthi Siriwardana, Ms. Mihiri Samaraweera, Ms. Chathushki Chathumali, Ms. Akshi De Silva, and Ms. Nimasha Chinthaka.
Latest Software Development Trends
- Increasing adoption of low-code and no-code solutions.
- Growth of cloud computing technologies.
- Expanding Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
- Widespread use of Artificial Intelligence across applications.
- Emergence and popularity of new programming languages.
- Enhanced utilization of Big Data in software engineering practices.
- Agile methodologies integrated with DevOps and security.
- Incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in development.
- Prioritization of user experience in software design.
Academic Integrity Policy
- Plagiarism and collusion are prohibited; embracing independent work is essential.
- Encouragement to conceptualize innovative software solutions that address pandemic-related challenges.
Definition and Objectives of Software Engineering
- Defined by IEEE as a systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approach to software development.
- Encompasses all software production aspects beyond technical processes, including project management and support methodologies.
Key Challenges in Software Engineering
- Delivering quality software within agreed timeframes.
- Managing the intangible nature of software products.
- Adapting to specific organizational and product-related processes.
- Maintaining budget constraints while ensuring quality.
Software Process Overview
- Defined as a series of interrelated activities transforming input work products into output work products (SWEBOK V3).
Software Process Activities
- Software Specification: Outlining functionality and constraints.
- Software Development: Involves designing and programming the software.
- Software Validation: Ensuring the software meets required standards.
- Software Evolution: Adapting and updating software over time.
Diversity in Software Processes
- No universal software process suits all application types; safety-critical systems require structured processes, while agile methods suit business systems with changing requirements.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC portrays stages a software product undergoes, often referred to as a software process model.
- Various models include Waterfall (classic and iterative), Prototyping, Evolutionary (incremental and spiral), and Agile development.
Ethical Standards in Software Engineering
- Software engineers bear broader responsibilities than just technical skill application.
- Expected to conduct themselves ethically, avoiding dishonest practices harmful to the profession.
Ethical Focus Areas
- Confidentiality, Competence, Intellectual Property rights, and avoidance of computer misuse.
Case Study: Library Management System
- SLIIT's Library Management System supports its extensive educational programs across multiple campuses.
- Malabe Campus serves as the main resource center for library coordination.
- Library services available daily, catering to academic needs.
Library Management Tasks
- Adding and managing library materials, membership services, book borrowing and returning, and handling fines and lost material replacements.
- Generating reports to track library operations as part of system management.
Next Lecture
- Focus on Software Development Life Cycle Models to continue the exploration of software process modeling concepts.
