What is software engineering

-

1.What is software?

Ans:Computer programs and associated documentation. Software products may be developed for a particular customer or may be developed for a general market.

2.What is software engineering?

Ans:Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production.

3.What is the difference between software engineering and system engineering?

Ans:System engineering is concerned with all aspects of computer-based systems development including hardware, software and process engineering. Software engineering is part of this more general process


4.What are the key challenges facing software engineering?

Ans:Coping with increasing diversity, demands for reduced delivery times and developing trustworthy software.

5.What are the costs of software engineering?

Ans:Roughly 60% of software costs are development costs, 40% are testing costs. For custom software, evolution costs often exceed development costs.

6.What are the best software engineering techniques and methods?

Ans:While all software projects have to be professionally managed and developed, different techniques are appropriate for different types of system. For example, games should always be developed using a series of prototypes whereas safety critical control systems require a complete and analyzable specification to be developed. You can’t, therefore, say that one method is better than another.

7.What differences has the web made to software engineering?

Ans:The web has led to the availability of software services and the possibility of developing highly distributed service-based systems. Web-based systems development has led to important advances in programming languages and software reuse.

8.What are the attributes of good software?

Ans:Good software should deliver the required functionality and performance to the user and should be maintainable, dependable and usable.

9.What is the difference between software engineering and computer science?

Ans:Computer science focuses on theory and fundamentals; software engineering is concerned with the practicalities of developing and delivering useful software.

10.What are the fundamental software engineering activities?

Ans:Software specification, software development, software validation and software evolution.

    Software is just a part of a system. You have me persuaded. They are actually common questions and you have answered them in a very simple way.

Component Based Software Engineering

•Main characteristics –Makes intensive use of existing reusable components. –The focus is on integrating the components rather than on creating them from the scratch. •Advantages –Reduces considerably the software to be developed “in-house”. –Allows faster delivery. –In principle, more reliable systems, due to using previously tested components. •Disadvantages –agreement in requirements are needed. –Less control over the system’s evolution •Applicability: –When there is a pool of existing components that could satisfy the requirements of the new product. –Emerging trend: integration of web services from a range of suppliers.

What is Non-functional requirements

-
Image
These define system properties and constraints e.g. reliability, response time and storage requirements. Constraints are I/O device capability, system representations, etc. i.e. Deactivate or delete record after 24 hrs Process requirements may also be specified mandating a particular programming language or development method. Non-functional requirements may be more critical than functional requirements. If these are not met, the system may be useless. Types of Nonfunctional requirement Product requirement: Examples The MHC-PMS shall be available to all clinics during normal working hours (Mon–Fri, 0830–17.30). Downtime within normal working hours shall not exceed five seconds in any one day. Organizational requirement:  Examples Users of the MHC-PMS system shall authenticate themselves using their health authority identity card. External requirement:  Examples The system shall implement patient privacy. Non-functional requirements implementation Non-functional requirements may affec

Software engineering Ethics Issues of Professional Responsibility

-
•Confidentiality –Engineers should normally respect the confidentiality of their employers or clients irrespective of whether or not a formal confidentiality agreement has been signed. •Competence –Engineers should not misrepresent their level of competence. They should not knowingly accept work which is out with their competence. •Intellectual property rights –Engineers should be aware of local laws governing the use of intellectual property such as patents, copyright, etc. They should be careful to ensure that the intellectual property of employers and clients is protected. •Computer misuse –Software engineers should not use their technical skills to misuse other people’s computers. Computer misuse ranges from relatively trivial (game playing on an employer’s machine, say) to extremely serious (dissemination of viruses).
