 Introduction

“Software engineering is the

discipline concerned with the application of
theory, knowledge, and practice for
effectively and efficiently building software
systems that satisfy the requirements of users
and customers”.
 contd…

 Software engineering (SE) is the profession of people who create

and maintain software by applying technologies and practices
from computer science, project management, engineering,
application domains and other fields.
 Software engineering requires :
 modeling activity :abstract representation that answers questions
about system.
 problem-solving activity :defination and Analysis of problem.
 knowledge acquisition activity : non linear additional knowledge.
 rationale-driven activity : context in which each design decision
is made
 Engineering vs. Science

 A hot debate has started years ago and still going on,
Is Software Engineering a science an engineering
discipline?
 It is, in fact, interdisciplinary; it requires,
Mathematics for analysis and proof of correctness,
Engineering for costs, risks, and tradeoffs,
Management for personnel, facilities, and progress.
 Overall, it is an engineering discipline.
 Historical Aspects
 1967, a NATO group coined the term “Software
Engineering”
 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference
concurred that “Software production should be an engine
ering-like activity”.
 Using philosophies and paradigms of established
engineering disciplines to solve “Software Crisis: that th
e quality of software was generally unacceptably low an
d that deadlines and cost limits were not being met”.

 Types of Software’s life cycle

 Waterfall model( linear

sequential model)

 Incremental model
 Software development process
(life cycle)
 Requirements: Understand what the client wants
 Specifications:Understand what the product is supposed
to do
 Design: Identify the modules and the design
 Implementation : Write code and unit test
 Integration : Combine modules and test
 Maintenance : Fixing problems and enhancements
 Retirement :Product is no longer in use
 Design paradigms

 System oriented paradigm: action oriented

or data oriented; but not both
 Object oriented paradigm : Both data and
actions are of equal importance.Systems is
a collection of interacting

 Domain of SE

 Working conditions: in well-lighted comfortable offices in

which computer equipment is located to solve unexpected
technical problems.

 Qualification : bachelors degree and experience.

 Employment : work for establishments in industries, as

software publishers, government agencies, manufacturers of
computers and related electronic equipment, and
management of companies and enterprises. Computer
software engineers held about 800,000 jobs in 2004
 Contd….

 Job outlook : fastest-growing occupations from 2004 to

2014.

 Earnings : Median annual earnings of computer applications

software engineers who worked full time in May 2004 were
about $74,980; Median annual earnings of computer
systems software engineers who worked full time in May
2004 were about $79,740.
