Task 2 - Module 1 - Intro SE

Module 1 : Introduction to Software Engineering

• Method Use To Study : Do classifications notes & extra reading(For more Example)
• Topic Should Be Added: The History behind Hooker's law and Polya suggestion.
• Suggestion About another Teaching Technique: Ask student To give idea for future software.
• Lesson Learned From This Module:

1. Software Definitions:

-instructions that when executed provide desired features, function, and performance. 
-data structures that enable the programs to adequately manipulate information
-documentation that describes the operation and use of the programs.
-Examples: Microsoft words,Adobe dreamweaver,phython,visual basic

    2.  Software Applications Domain Matrix:

DOMAIN System software	CHARACTERISTICS - designed  to operate      computer  hardware.	EXAMPLE -windows -Linux -Mac OS X -Ubuntu -Unix
Application software	-interacts with the users -interacts with the hardware -help users to perform tasks	-point of sale (pos) -entertainment software  ·arcade games  ·mobile games -educational software   ·learning software -media development    software  ·animation software
Engineering/scientific software	-collection of computer    programs -provide instructions to  the computer	- -sas(stastical analysis    software) -diagnosis sotware
Embedded software	-software that combine    together to  control any     electronic or electrical     appliances such as telephone,toys and    airplanes to peform   any tasks asked by the   users.	-software to control robot’s    movement such or robotics control    software and asimo -software to control the timeline of the digital watch
Web apps	-application that is accessed    using the network either    internet or intranet	-student portal -uniten online registration    system  -ticket reservation system
Artifcial intelegennce sotware	-programs or software that    combines to perform any of    the instructions -very complicated -combination of aspects     such as logic,philosophy     and behaviour	-kynogon(software that use    in the video games). -asimo
Production line software	-creating similar software    system from a shared set of    software by referring to the    software engineering    methods -have many functions -can peform any tasks	-ms word -ms power point -ms excel -ms access -ms outlook

3. Software Engineering Definitions:

-The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software

4. Layer In Software Engineering:

5.Essential SE Practices:

           Polya suggests:

i.Understand the problem (communication and modeling).

ii.Plan a solution (planning and design).

iii.Carry out the plan (construction and deployment).

iv.Examine the result for accuracy (testing and quality assurance).

Hooker’s General SE Principles

 i.The Reason It All Exists

ii.KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)

           iii.Maintain the Vision

           iv.What You Produce, Others Will Consume

            v.Be Open to the Future 

            vi.Plan Ahead for Reuse

            vii.Think!

6. Software Myths:

- erroneous beliefs about software and the process that is used to build it.

-Examples:

• Management myths
• Customer myths
• Practitioner myths
