4 What is software engineering?

 Software engineering is composed of two words, software and engineering.


 Software is defined as a collection of programs, procedures, rules, data and associated
documentation. The s/w is developed keeping in mind certain h/w and operating system
consideration commonly known as platform.
 Engineering means systematic procedure to develop software.
 Software engineering as an engineering branch is associated with the development of
software product using well-defined scientific principles, methods and procedures. The
outcome of software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product.
 IEEE Definition: The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to
the development, operation and maintenance of software.

6 Why Study Software Engineering?
 To acquire skills to develop large programs:
 Exponential growth in complexity and difficulty level with size.
 The ad hoc approach breaks down when size of software increases.
 Ability to solve complex programming problems:
 How to break large projects into smaller and manageable parts?
 Learn techniques of:
 specification, design, interface development, testing, project management, etc.
 To acquire skills to be a better programmer:
 Higher Productivity
 Better Quality Programs

7 Software Quality

 Portability: to be able to work in different operating system environments, in different


machines, with other software products.
 Usability: if different categories of users (i.e. both expert and novice users) can easily
invoke the functions of the product, the software is said to be usable.
 Reusability: if different modules of the product can easily be reused to develop new
products, the software is said to be reusable.
 Correctness: if different requirements as specified in the SRS document have been
correctly implemented, the software is said to be correct.
 Maintainability: if errors can be easily corrected, new functions can be easily added to the
product, and the functionalities of the product can be easily modified, etc. the software is
said to be maintainable.

8 Types of Software

 System Software: It includes the operating system & all the utilities to enable the
computer to run. Ex-OS.
 Application Software: It consists of programs to perform user oriented tasks. Ex-word
processor, database management.

9 Software Crisis

 Software products:

 fail to meet user requirements.


 frequently crash.
 expensive.
 difficult to alter, debug, and enhance.
 often delivered late.
 use resources non-optimally.
