Definitions:

1. (a) Software Engineering: The discipline of designing, developing, testing, and


maintaining software using engineering principles to ensure quality, efficiency, and
maintainability.
2. (b) Compiler: A program that translates source code written in a high-level
programming language into machine code or an intermediate language that can be
executed by a computer.
3. (c) Entity: In the Entity-Relationship (ER) model, an entity represents a real-world
object or concept that can be distinctly identified and has properties known as
attributes.
4. (d) Attributes: Characteristics or properties that describe an entity, such as name, age,
or address in a database system.
5. (e) Quality Assurance (QA): A process-oriented practice focused on ensuring that
quality standards are met in software development through systematic activities,
including reviews, audits, and testing.
6. (f) Cardinality: In database systems, cardinality represents the maximum number of
relationships that entities can have with each other, such as one-to-one, one-to-many,
or many-to-many.
7. (g) Auditability: The ease with which an independent evaluation can be conducted to
ensure conformance with established standards and guidelines.
8. (h) Software Process Model: A structured approach for organizing and managing
software development activities. Examples include the waterfall model, spiral model,
and agile model.
9. (i) Data Abstraction: The concept of hiding complex data structures and exposing
only essential features, allowing simpler manipulation of data without revealing
unnecessary details.
10. (j) Refinement: A process of incrementally elaborating a software design or code,
breaking it down into more detailed levels of abstraction to achieve greater accuracy
and functionality.
