Software Engineering II

Lecture 1
Software Engineering - IEEE

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.
Software Engineering

all aspects of software production - Software


engineering is not just concerned with the
technical processes of software development but
also with activities such as software project
management and with the development of tools,
methods and theories to support software
production.

-Sommerville
A software engineer is challenged to
produce high-quality software with
finite amount of resources and to a
predicted schedule and budget.
Law of diminishing returns

Making the engineering decision!
Software Engineering

Software Engineering is not just about producing software,


but about producing software in a COST-EFFECTIVE
manner.
The Balancing Act!

Potentially conflicting requirements

Cost vs. Efficiency


Cost vs. Reliability
Efficiency vs. User-interface

Challenge is to balance these requirements.
