10、acticalities of developing and delivering useful software.Computer science theories are still insufficient to act as a complete underpinning for software engineering (unlike e.g. physics and electrical engineering).,What is the difference between software engineering and system engineering?,System e

11、ngineering is concerned with all aspects of computer-based systems development including hardware, software and process engineering. Software engineering is part of this process concerned with developing the software infrastructure, control, applications and databases in the system.System engineers

14、fic perspective.Examples of process perspectives areWorkflow perspective - sequence of activities;Data-flow perspective - information flow;Role/action perspective - who does what.Generic process modelsWaterfall;Iterative development;Component-based software engineering.,What are the costs of softwar

15、e engineering?,Roughly 60% of costs are development costs, 40% are testing costs. For custom software, evolution costs often exceed development costs.Costs vary depending on the type of system being developed and the requirements of system attributes such as performance and system reliability.Distri

16、bution of costs depends on the development model that is used.,Activity cost distribution,Product development costs,What are software engineering methods?,Structured approaches to software development which include system models, notations, rules, design advice and process guidance.Model description

CASE systems are often used for method support.Upper-CASETools to support the early process activities of requirements and design;Lower-CASETools to support later activities such as programming, debugging and testing.,What are the attributes of good software?,Th

19、e software should deliver the required functionality and performance to the user and should be maintainable, dependable and acceptable.MaintainabilitySoftware must evolve to meet changing needs;DependabilitySoftware must be trustworthy;EfficiencySoftware should not make wasteful use of system resour

20、ces;AcceptabilitySoftware must accepted by the users for which it was designed. This means it must be understandable, usable and compatible with other systems.,What are the key challenges facing software engineering?,Heterogeneity, delivery and trust.HeterogeneityDeveloping techniques for building s

22、olves wider responsibilities than simply the application of technical skills.Software engineers must behave in an honest and ethically responsible way if they are to be respected as professionals.Ethical behaviour is more than simply upholding the law.,Issues of professional responsibility,Confident

23、iality Engineers should normally respect the confidentiality of their employers or clients irrespective of whether or not a formal confidentiality agreement has been signed.Competence Engineers should not misrepresent their level of competence. They should not knowingly accept work which is outwith

24、their competence.,Issues of professional responsibility,Intellectual property rights Engineers should be aware of local laws governing the use of intellectual property such as patents, copyright, etc. They should be careful to ensure that the intellectual property of employers and clients is protect

25、ed.Computer misuse Software engineers should not use their technical skills to misuse other peoples computers. Computer misuse ranges from relatively trivial (game playing on an employers machine, say) to extremely serious (dissemination of viruses).,ACM/IEEE Code of Ethics,The professional societie

26、s in the US have cooperated to produce a code of ethical practice.Members of these organisations sign up to the code of practice when they join.The Code contains eight Principles related to the behaviour of and decisions made by professional software engineers, including practitioners, educators, ma

27、nagers, supervisors and policy makers, as well as trainees and students of the profession.,Code of ethics - preamble,PreambleThe short version of the code summarizes aspirations at a high level of the abstraction; the clauses that are included in the full version give examples and details of how the

28、se aspirations change the way we act as software engineering professionals. Without the aspirations, the details can become legalistic and tedious; without the details, the aspirations can become high sounding but empty; together, the aspirations and the details form a cohesive code.Software enginee

Essential product attributes are maintainability, dependability, efficiency and usability.The software process consists of activities that are involved in developing software products. Basic activities a

36、re software specification, development, validation and evolution.Methods are organised ways of producing software. They include suggestions for the process to be followed, the notations to be used, rules governing the system descriptions which are produced and design guidelines.,Key points,CASE tool
