This document discusses software engineering and the software development process. It defines software engineering as the application of systematic and disciplined approaches to software development, operation, and maintenance. The software process is presented as a framework that defines the tasks and activities required to build high-quality software, including work products, quality assurance points, and project milestones. It also discusses that the software process encompasses the technical methods and tools used for development.

Software Engineering: A Practitioners Approach 6 th Edition Roger S. Pressman 2 Software Process Software development is a social learning process [BAE98] The process provides interaction between Users and designers Users and evolving tools Designers and evolving tools Iterative in nature Software process is a framework for the tasks that are required to build high-quality software 3 S/W Process or S/W Engineering A software process defines the approach that is taken as software is engineered. But software engineering also encompasses technologies that populate the process technical methods and automated tools. 4 S/W Engineering Definition (1) According to Fritz Bauer [NAU69] [Software engineering is] the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines. 5 S/W Engineering Definition (2) According to the IEEE [IEE93] Software Engineering: 1. The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software. 2. The study of approaches as in (1). We need discipline, but we also need adaptability and agility. 6 S/W Engineering - A Layered Technology A quality focus Process Methods Tools Figure 2.1: Software engineering layers 7 framework activity # 1 A Process Framework work tasks work products quality assurance points project milestones Umbrella activities Task sets software engineering action # 1.1 Software process Process framework 8 Generic Framework Activities Communication Requirement gathering Planning Tasks, risks, resources, products, schedule Modeling Analysis of requirements, design Construction Code generation, testing Deployment Evaluation, feedback 9 Umbrella Activities Software project tracking and control Risk management Software quality assurance Formal technical reviews Measurement Software configuration management Reusability management Work product preparation and production 10 The Process Model: Adaptability Key factors are Problem Project Team Organizational Structure Prescriptive vs. Agile process models 11 Product and Process The duality of product and process A creative software professional should derive as much satisfaction from the process as the end-product Transition from programming to software engineering
