SOFTWARE ENGEERING Theory and Practice (Second Edition) Shari Lawrence Pfleeger 1 Why Software Engineering? What we mean by software engineering Software engineering’s track record What we mean by “good software” Why a system approach is important How software engineering has changed sine the 1970s 1.1 What is software engineering Solving Problems Where Does the Software Engineering Fit in? PROBLEM SOLUTION Solving Problems Method or Technique: A formal procedure for producing some result. Tool: An instrument or automated system for accomplishing something in a better way. Procedure: A combination of tools and techniques that produce a particular product Paradigm: A particular approach or philosophy for building software(cooking style) Where Does the Software Engineering Fit in? 1.2 How successful have we been? Writing software is an art as well as a science, a practice that involves a great deal of art, ingenuity, and skill. High-quality software: robust, easy to understand and maintain, does its job in the most efficient and effective way possible Software engineering is about designing and developing quality software system. TERMINOLOGY FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Bug: a mistake in interpreting a requirement, a syntax error in a piece of code, the cause of system crash Error: human makes a mistake Fault occurs in performing some software activity Failure: a departure from the system’s required behavior How successful have we been? How successful have we been? Many software engineers think: An antiballistic missile system would require at least ten million lines of code, some estimates range as high as one hundred million The software supporting American space shuttle consists of three million lines of code, including computers on the ground controlling the launch and fight (compared one hundred thousand lines of code in1985) The safety-critical software should have a reliability of at least 10-9. We would have to run the system for at least 109 hours
