Abstract
The purpose of the study is to show the capability to understand the set of laws that are the part of principles of the software engineering. In this paper, it is discussed that there are many laws related to the software engineering but only few of them are to be addressed. Boehm first and second law, Conway’s laws, Parnas laws & Corbato law were discussed with examples. There are two relationship processes that are also discussed,

For instance, Science Applications International Corporation developed special software package that would be send to 250 to 500 field personnel and team according to organizational structure. The software will be further transferred to the organizational employees as per the departmental structure.
Parnas Law
David Parnas develop the Law of Hiding the information in Modular Programming. The types of thing are hidden is the information in the modular programming. When the design decision changed, they are hidden through the programming to protect the other parts from the general alteration. In other words, it also states that information hiding is the aptitude to avoid positive aspect of class from being available to its client by using other programming features. For example, Adabas developed dedicated software using a programming language known as Natural. The software allowed the agents and clerks to use it for basic purposes only. However, more advance usage of the program was hidden from the low-level support and only expert programming agents had the access to this software. When you change something, the main risk should appear in the software development process, the code is changed through the shifting process and the design decision should change the interface as well as the whole backhand process (Merz et.al, 2014).
Corbató Law
Productivity and reliability rely upon the length of a program’s content, free of dialect level utilization.
I have many goals in mind for my life. I want to graduate university, possibly go to graduate school, and obtain a career in which I am happy and satisfied. Yes, I know this sounds very cliché as many people want to obtain this kind of life. I don’t mind obtaining a “normal” happy life as long as I am happy with it. I am familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and I want to make sure I fulfill my lower needs before I start trying to achieve my goals. I have never actually applied the GIOADA process to my decision making in the past. After reading the document that describes the GIOADA process, I will start applying this process to future decisions I make in life. Also, as I look back at some of the big decisions I made
Specialty software operates the same as other software, but is tailor to a specially job or task. Many jobs require specially software to perform their duties like, engineers uses computer-aided design (CAD) for process of design and design-documentation. Project mangers use specially software to estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, quality management and documentation or administration systems, which are used to deal with the complexity of large projects.( Young-Hoon Kwak)
There is a confusion on software engineering as an Engineering discipline and a unified theory to be developed will address this as 101 to eliminate this confusion.

2. How can you decide among various off-the-shelf software options? What criteria should you use? At first, we have to understand organization requirement because it will be a big mistake if we paid company's money into off-the-shelf software to find out that it does not meet the requirements. Then we have to ask ourselves three questions in order to decide between off-the-shelf software candidates: - Does the candidate software fill developer needs? - Is the quality of candidate high enough? - What the impact will candidate software have on organization system? Criteria for choosing off-the-shelf software depend on:
Another component to an Information systems is software. Software is a set of key instructions that enables the end user to interact with the computer and permits the end user to perform a certain task; also allows the computer to serve some purpose (Cartwright, 2005). There are two types of software, one software is systems software and another one is application software. Application software of key instructions that are more focused towards the end-user. Systems software is a software developed in such way that is designed to control and support hardware of the computer. Systems software also provides a platform to run the computers application. The application software is more focused towards a niche market and maybe focused towards organisation who may deal with such issues such as databases (Turban and Rainer, 2009). In total there are two development to Software and they are; traditional based software and web-based software. Traditional software can be Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Systems Development Live Cycle is a structure of a detailed plan describing how to develop, maintain and replace the software. This is methodology consists of improving software and the development process. SDLC consist of different stages and they are: Feasibility, Analysis, Design,
Putting the above assumption in perspective and adapting William Keylor’s interpretation of positivism in relation to the subject matter where positivism is defined as a fact oriented theory .It can be said that these defects and therefore the causes of these defects exist independently of any individual’s intellect but are subject to perhaps the inherent nature of humans to err or defect mitigation and defect prevention techniques being implemented. It therefore necessitates any research on the matter to thrive in understanding the common causes of these defects during software development through scientific methods that can be quantified.
The (OS) operating system is the best example of system software. An operating system manages a computer’s hardware and software and provides sources for computer programs. Most application programs require an operating system to function. There are numerous operating systems (OS) one may choose to install on their computer. Each OS will have different looks and functions that differ from the others. Windows 10 is a popular OS that is used widely around The United States. System software and application programs are the two main types of system software.
Implementing software in a working environment can be no easy task, however deciding how they will work best to meet the needs of the company can outlined in a plan. This software plan needs to identify all software applications being used or supporting the business organization. An inventory of current software’s supporting the Alcan organization be reassessed in order to fit their organizations mission intent. The software selection should be able to use existing or provide compatibility with their databases. However one must clearly define the intended functionality the organization is trying to get from the software and how it will be applied to their existing information technology (IT) systems.
A programmer’s job is mostly project based. They create applications, using their knowledge of code, and remove all the bugs before setting it forward to the company. A programmer works closely with analysts and management to understand about a problem in the code, and create/edit the expected outcome towards a company. Some duties include: Correcting errors by making appropriate changes and then rechecking the program to ensure that the desired results are produced. Conducting trial runs of programs and software applications to be sure they will produce the desired information and that the instructions are correct. Compiling and writing documentation of program development and subsequent revisions, inserting comments in the coded instructions so others can understand the program. Writing, updating, and maintaining computer programs or software packages to handle specific jobs, such as tracking inventory, storing or retrieving data, or controlling other equipment. Consulting with managerial, engineering, and technical personnel to clarify program intent, identify problems, and suggest changes. Performing or directing revision, repair, or expansion of existing programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements. A programmer may also have to prepare detailed workflow charts and diagrams that describe input, output, and logical operation, and convert them into a series of instructions coded in a computer language. Programming plays a role
It provides the easiest way to handle the data hiding and encapsulation with the help of powerful keywords such as class, private, public, and protected.
One of the most popularly used database models is the relational model. It was developed by Edgar Codd in 1969. This model provides a declarative method for specification of data and queries. In a relational model of a database, the database users directly state the information they want to be retrieved from it and abstract away from the responsibility of describing the data structures that are used to store data. A database that confirms to the relational database model is known as a relational database.
Object-oriented approach was developed in late 1950’s in MIT to overcome the drawbacks of procedural- oriented approach. Ii is commonly known as OOPS. Now, it has become most preferred programming approach by software engineers to solve real world complex problems. The traditional procedural languages solve problems in terms of the structure of the computer i.e. memory bits and bytes, array, decision, loop rather than thinking in terms of the problem which is to be solved.
Today Software engineering is the most promising and advanced fields in the market. So certain methodologies should be applied to make it a persistent and ever developing in the coming future. This term paper mainly concentrates on the Case Methods, which provide not only knowledge of software engineering but also the problem solving and thinking ability among the practitioners. Introducing the concepts of software Engineering in Educational institutions creates awareness among the students not only with the knowledge of the subject but also the problems faced in the real world, which further reduces the burden when they enter the software industry. This paper focuses on features of Case Methods, their importance and benefits to individuals who practice them.
So that risk-handling activities may be planned and invoked as needed across the life of the product or project to mitigate adverse impacts on achieving objectives by addressing risk throughout the life cycle of a system or software product or service. It can be applied to risks related to the development, maintenance or operation of a system. Risk management can be classified into three parts
