… end of the road


• Students will be able understand the
issues affecting the analysis, design,
implementation, testing and maintenance
of large systems.

• Students will be able to read and


understand the professional and technical
literature on software engineering
History of Software Engineering
• Software used to be quite simple.
• Developed for use by the developer, no rules.

• Software got more and more complicated,


and because of lack of systematic methods,
software projects increasingly failed.

• In 1968, a big software engineering


conference was organized to solve software
failures (crisis)
• birth of software engineering as a distinct
discipline.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 9

Software Crisis
• Projects running over-budget and over-time.
• Software was very inefficient.
• Software was of low quality.
• Software often did not meet requirements.
• Projects were unmanageable and code difficult
to maintain.
• Software was never delivered.
• The rapid advancement of hardware = need for
new software.
• The increasing use of computers = need for the
development of more software.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 10

Software Engineering
• Software Engineering (SE) is a discipline whose
aim is the production of quality software ,
software that is delivered on time, within
budget, and that satisfies its requirements.

• SE is an engineering discipline that is


concerned with all aspects of software
production from the early stages of system
specification through to maintaining the
system after it has gone into use.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 11

Software Engineering..
• SE is concerned with theories, methods and
tools for professional software development.

• SE is not a static discipline, there are


unresolved debates and controversies.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 12

Software Engineering Concepts


• Some important concepts in SE include:
• Software Product
• Software Diversities
• Software Issues
• Software Ethics
• Software Principles
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 13

Software Products
• Generic products:
• stand-alone systems that are marketed and sold to
any customer,
• specification owned by the software developer,
• decisions on software change are made by the
developer.

• Customized products:
• commissioned for a specific customer to meet their
own needs,
• specification owned by the customer for the software
• decisions of software changes are made by
customers.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 14

Software Diversities
• Different types of software system:
• Stand-alone applications, Interactive transaction-
based applications, Entertainment systems,
Embedded control systems, Batch processing
systems, Data collection systems, Systems of
systems.

• No universal set of software techniques that is


applicable to all of these.

• Methods and tools used depend on application


type, requirements and development team.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 15

Software Issues
• Three (3) general issues:
• Heterogeneity: The need to operate systems as
distributed systems across networks that
include different types of computer and mobile
devices and to integrate new with old systems

• Business and Social Change: The need to adapt


systems to respond rapidly to changes.

• Security and Trust: The need to prevent


unauthorized access to software especially those
that can be accessed over the network.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 16

Software Engineering Ethics


• Software engineering is carried out within a
social and legal framework that restricts the
freedom of people working in the area.

• Software engineer must uphold


Confidentiality, Competence, Intellectual
property right and avoid Computer misuse.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 17

Software Engineering Principles


• Separation of Concerns: “Divide and Conquer”
• Modularity: Separating software into components
based on functions and responsibility--- next
slide
• Abstraction: Separating “What” from “How”
• Anticipation of Change: Main requirements must
be worked out early but changes can be made
later
• Generality: Software should be designed to be as
general as possible.
• Incremental Development: Developing in small
increments eases the task.

Coupling Cohesion

Cohesion and coupling are important in making every software reliable and
extendable. A software engineer must design the modules with goal of low
coupling and high cohesion
12/28/2021 Software Design 19

Coupling
• Coupling is the measure of the degree of
interdependence between modules.

• Three (3) types:

Uncoupled loosely coupled highly coupled


12/28/2021 Software Design 20

Cohesion
• Cohesion is a measure of the degree to
which the elements of a module are
functionally related.

• Cohesion is the measure of functional


strength of a module.

• Types of cohesion include functional,


sequential, coincidental and Temporal.
SWE2301: Introduction to software Engineering 21

Summary
• Software engineering is an engineering
discipline that is concerned with all aspects of
software production.

• There are many different types of system and


each requires appropriate software engineering
tools and techniques for their development.

• Concepts such as principles, ethics, issues are


important in understanding SE.
