Lecture 10

The document discusses software process activities, highlighting the interleaved nature of technical, collaborative, and managerial tasks involved in software development. It outlines key activities such as specification, design, implementation, validation, and evolution, emphasizing their organization in various development models like waterfall and incremental. Additionally, it covers the requirements engineering process, software validation methods, and the importance of testing throughout the software lifecycle.

Software Process Activities


Somerville | Ch-2 (Pg.
54)
⮚ Real software processes are inter-
leaved sequences of technical,
collaborative and managerial activities with
the overall goal of specifying, designing,
implementing and testing a software
Process system.
activitie ⮚ The four basic process activities of
s specification, development, validation
and evolution are organized differently in
different development processes.

⮚ For example, in the waterfall model, they


are organized in sequence, whereas in
incremental development they are

The requirements engineering process

Software specification
The process of establishing what services are
required and the constraints on the system’s
operation and development.
Requirements elicitation and
analysis

stakeholders require or expect
from the system?

Software design and implementation
The process of converting the system specification
into an executable system.

The activities of design and implementation are


closely related and may be inter-leaved.

System implementation
The software is implemented either by developing a
program or programs or by configuring an
application system.

Design and implementation are interleaved activities


for most types of software system.

Programming is an individual activity with no standard


process.

Debugging is the activity of finding program faults and


correcting these faults.
8
Software validation
Verification and validation (V & V) is intended to show that a
system conforms to its specification and meets the
requirements of the system customer.
Involves checking and review processes and system
testing.

System testing involves executing the system with test


cases that are derived from the specification of the real data to
be processed by the system.
Testing is the most commonly used V & V activity.

business circumstances, the software that

between development and evolution
