Software Engineering Notes

expansion of American employment opportunities. Countless numbers of jobs have been created because of these changes. Almost every job that one can think of involves some sort of computer technology; there are only a handful of jobs in this day and age that don't. For example, some of the computer inspired jobs includes computer programming, computer scientists, computer consultants, computer technicians, software developers, and the list goes on and on. If it wasn't for the computer, these jobs and many other inventions may not have been possible.

The computer software industry is a relatively new development on the international market place. Only a few decades ago, there was no such industry at all. Thanks to a number of innovative software developers, the rise of the industry has become a booming success. The industry itself increased dramatically in the 1990s. It was during this period that software was growing in a number of other supporting industries. Software soon became an integral part of industries like healthcare, business applications like databases and network structures, personal finance, and education (Kent & Williams 1997). The more intertwined it became with other business applications, the more successful software became as a

Software Development has evolved immensely over the past few decades and especially in the past few years. We have seen an increase in the demand for software across all platforms. Electronic device usage is growing worldwide and every one of those devices requires software whether it has a user interface or not. Think about the transportation industry, semi-autonomous vehicles are offered by many different auto makers with more and more of them announcing their plans to automate driving each year. The software that runs this aspect of the vehicle only has a small user interface footprint but the requirement for software development perfection has exponential consequences. This is becoming the norm in our everyday lives. More and more

This basically tells us about how the entities who are breaking the establishment cyber laws can come under the criminal actions based upon their actions.

been applying variety of methods to software developing field. Up to this day, we are still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. Where is the solution? What is the best method? The fact is that at the professional workplace, both methods are implemented based on clients’ needs and client’s requirements. I will examine the two methods, compare those two methods from variety of aspects. I will compare the methodology to professional work experience and to seek improvements based on the articles I read and personal previous experience. Parallel comparison will be applied throughout the text to provide readers a transparency and more unblemished theoretical understanding from the methodology based on experimental trajectory.

Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with specifying, designing, developing and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.

Software development is not a precise science and software is a ?minded-crafted? by human beings, so it is error prone, software development must be accompanied by quality assurance activities.

In today’s world computers play a crucial role in everyday life. Many different types of jobs are offered with computers. One essential branch of computer related jobs is Software Development. Software developers program and write the code of software used on computers. Without software developers computers would have very little use and very few features. While researching Software Development I took many steps to increase my understanding of the career.

Shaw puts forth the hypothesis that research in software engineering should be characterized by research processes in other science and engineering disciplines which include research questions, results and validation. Highlighting related work, she mentions previous research efforts to characterize

In the last two decades modeling notations and tools subsequently claimed to be the "silver bullets" for success in software development, however, expectations were not met. This is due in large part to another important element, development methodology, had been postponed. They are worthless if good notations and tools for application directives are not provided. So, this decade has begun with a growing interest in development methodologies. Until recently he led the development process associated with a strong emphasis on process control through a rigorous definition of roles, activities and artifacts, including modeling and detailed documentation. This "traditional" scheme to address software development has proven effective and necessary in large projects (regarding time and resources), which usually requires a high degree of ceremony in the process. However, this approach is not be the most suitable for many current projects where the system environment is changing, and where required drastically reduce development time while maintaining high quality. Given the difficulties in using traditional methods with these constraints of time and flexibility, many development teams resign

But then the developers couldn 't work directly on the computers anymore – specialists had to be called in to connect them. Programming at that time meant a lot of manual work and the indirect connection to the computers led to a lot of bugs, wasting time and fraying the developers´ nerves. The year 1957 marked a big change.

The topic provides an overview of that the software engineering is really engineering or not. There is a brief discussion on this topic and also some of the controversies in the discussion. Differences between software engineering and engineering are picked out in this paper i.e. the terms itself are different software engineering and engineering. Some of the Engineering features are common in the software engineering. Engineering includes many works in it and based on this work it is divided into many different streams. It also includes processing, designing, and manufacturing etc. and it’s all depend on the work done. There are different things need to be done in software engineering like designing.

After our programs were ready (compiled, link-edited, tested, catalogued in an “executable library” in disk) we send to the Computer Operator a flowchart describing how to execute it in production – how many and which magnetic tapes should be read and/or recorded (there was a tape-library, they were identified by numbers), what disc unitis should be used (yes, the hard discs were removable!) if it would need use the printer, etc.

A computer is used to monitor a system through the use of sensors (such as light, heat,
