    A process is a series of steps involving activities, constraints, and resources to produce an intended output. It imposes consistency and structure on activities and guides understanding, control, examination, and improvement of activities. A process model describes a process and contains key features like prescribed activities, use of resources, production of products, and organization of activities in a sequence. In software engineering, a software process model models how the development of software should progress or how it is actually developed.

    Lecture 2
    What Do We Mean by a Process?

    ■ Is a series of steps involving activities, constraints, and resources to produce an intended


    output
    – Prepare for exams
    – Conduct a software competition
    – Organize a trip
    – Write a term project report
    ■ Involves a set of tools and techniques
    – Block diagrams
    – Notations
    How is a Process Useful?

    ■ Impose consistency and structure on a set of activities


    ■ Guide us to understand, control, examine, and improve the activities
    ■ Enable us to capture our experiences and pass them along
    Characteristics of a Process

    ■ Prescribes all major process activities


    ■ Uses resources, subject to set of constraints (such as schedule)
    ■ Produces intermediate and final products
    ■ May be composed of sub-processes with hierarchy or links
    ■ Each process activity has entry and exit criteria
    ■ Activities are organized in sequence, so timing is clear
    ■ Each process guiding principles, including goals of each activity
    ■ Constraints may apply to an activity, resource or product
    Software/System Lifecycle

    ■ When a process involves building a software (product), the process may be referred to
    as software (product) lifecycle
    System Development Phases
    SDLC and problem-solving

    ■ Similar to problem-solving approach


    – Organization recognizes problem (Project Planning)
    – Project team investigates, understands problem and solution
    requirements (Analysis)
    – Solution is specified in detail (Design)
    – System that solves problem built and installed (Implementation)
    – System used, maintained, and enhanced to continue to provide intended
    benefits (Support)
    Planning Phase of SDLC

    ■ Define business problem and scope

    ■ Produce detailed project schedule

    ■ Confirm project feasibility


    – Economic, organizational, technical, resource, and schedule

    ■ Staff the project (resource management)

    ■ Launch project  official announcement


    Analysis Phase of SDLC

    ■ Gather information to learn problem domain

    ■ Define system requirements

    ■ Build prototypes for discovery of requirements

    ■ Prioritize requirements

    ■ Generate and evaluate alternatives

    ■ Review recommendations with management


    Design Phase of SDLC

    ■ Design and integrate the network

    ■ Design the application architecture

    ■ Design the user interfaces


    ■ Design the system interfaces
    ■ Design and integrate the database
    ■ Prototype for design details
    ■ Design and integrate system controls
    Implementation Phase of SDLC

    ■ Construct software components

    ■ Verify and test

    ■ Convert data

    ■ Train users and document the system


    ■ Install the system
    Support Phase of SDLC

    ■ Maintain system
    – Small patches, repairs, and updates
    ■ Enhance system
    – Small upgrades or enhancements to expand system capabilities
    – Larger enhancements may require separate development project
    ■ Support users
    – Help desk and/or support team
    What is a Process Model?

    ■ Description of a process, evolved overtime, in a certain format


    – May use text, pictures, or a combination
    – Contains key process features
    What is a Software Process Model?

    ■ Models that prescribe how should development of software


    progress
    ■ Models that describe how is software developed in actuality
