Course Objective
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be
able to apply software engineering techniques effectively to
produce a successful software product.

They will be able to structure the software production


process, analyze the requirements for a software system,
produce a software design and architecture from
requirements.

The course should also introduce the students to software


project management and planning issues and various
software validation and verification techniques.
Software can have huge impact
in any aspect of our society

Software is almost
everywhere!!!
Problems in software development

Common issues
The final software does not fulfill the needs of the
customer
Hard to extend and improve: if you want to add a
functionality later its mission impossible
Bad documentation
Bad quality: frequent errors, hard to use, ...
More time and costs than expected
But

that never
happens?

right?
Wrong!

Conclusion
Programming is NOT enough!

It is not enough to do your best:


you must Know what
to do, and THEN do your best.
W. Edwards Deming
And Since
A clever person solves a problem.
A wise person avoids it.
- Albert Einstein
Solution
Software Engineering

1) The application of a systematic, disciplined,


quantifiable approach to the development,
operation, and maintenance of software; that is
the application of engineering to software.
-- IEEE Definition
Software Engineering

Software engineering is about the creation of large


pieces of software that consist of thousands of lines of
code and involve many person months of human effort.
(Douglas Bell)
Software Engineering
One of the attractions of software engineering is that
there is no one single best method for doing it, but
instead a whole variety of different approaches.
Consequently, the software engineer needs a
knowledge of many different techniques and tools.
What does a Software Engineer do?

Software engineers apply the principles and techniques of


computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis
to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the
software and the systems that enable computers to perform their
many applications.

Software engineers must possess programming skills, but are


often more concerned with developing algorithms and
analyzing and solving programming problems than with
actually writing code.
Goals of Software Engineering
Constructing software is a challenging task, essentially because
software is complex. The perceived problems in software development and
the goals that software development seeks to achieve are:

1. Meeting users needs


2. Low cost of production
3. High performance
4. Portability
5. Low cost of maintenance
6. High reliability
7. Deliver on time
Software Development Life cycle
(SDLC)
The software life cycle is the sequence of different activities
that take place during software development. There are also
different deliverables produced. Although deliverables can
be agreements or evaluations, normally deliverables are
objects, such as source code or user manuals. Usually, the
activities and deliverables are closely related. Milestones
are events that can be used for telling the status of the
project.
