Lecture 02

The document discusses software processes and activities. It defines a process as a collection of activities, actions, and tasks to create work products. There are two types of activities: framework activities that establish the foundation of a software process, and umbrella activities applied throughout a project. A generic software engineering process framework includes five activities: communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment. It also lists common umbrella activities like project tracking and quality assurance. Finally, it briefly describes several software development lifecycle models like waterfall, V-model, incremental development, and rapid application development.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

HIRA FAYYAZ
SOFTWARE PROCESS

• A process is a collection of activities, actions, and tasks that are performed


when some work product is to be created.
ACTIVITIES, ACTIONS AND TASKS

• An activity strives to achieve a broad objective (e.g., communication with


stakeholders) and is applied regardless of the application domain, size of the
project and complexity of the effort.
• An action (e.g., architectural design) encompasses a set of tasks that
produce a major work product (e.g., an architectural design model).
• A task focuses on a small, but well-defined objective (e.g., conducting a
unittest) that produces a tangible outcome
TYPES OF ACTIVITIES

• There are two types of activities:


1. Framework activities.
2. Umbrella activities.
FRAMEWORK ACTIVITIES-1

• A process framework establishes the foundation for a complete software


engineering process by identifying a small number of framework activities
FRAMEWORK ACTIVITIES-2

• A generic process framework for software engineering encompasses five


activities:
1. Communication
2. Planning
3. Modeling
4. Construction
5. Deployment
UMBRELLA ACTIVITIES-1

• Software engineering process framework activities are complemented by a


number of umbrella activities. In general, umbrella activities are applied
throughout a software project
UMBRELLA ACTIVITIES-2

Types of Umbrella Activities:


• Software project tracking and control
• Risk management
• Software quality assurance
• Technical reviews
• Measurement
• Software configuration management
• Reusability management
SOFTWARE DEVELPOMENT LIFE CYCLE

• The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a framework defining tasks


performed at each step in the software development process. SDLC is a
structure followed by a development team within
the software organization. It consists of a detailed plan describing how to
develop, maintain and replace specific software.
