Course Introduction

Software engineering is a discipline that deals with building large software systems through teams of engineers. It aims to produce fault-free software on time and within budget that satisfies users' needs. Software engineering incorporates principles from science, engineering, management, and human factors such as formal methods, modularity, abstraction, and anticipating change. The traditional waterfall model involves requirements, design, implementation, integration, validation, and deployment phases.

Overview of

Software Engineering
Software Engineering
 “A discipline that deals with the building
of software systems which are so large
that they are built by a team or teams
of engineers.”

 “Multi-person construction of multi-


version software.”
Software Engineering
 “A discipline whose aim is the
production of fault-free software,
delivered on-time and within budget,
that satisfies the user’s needs.
Furthermore, the software must be
easy to modify when the user’s needs
change.”
Science, Engineering,
Management, Human Factors
 Science: empirical studies; theories characterizing
aggregate system behavior (e.g. reliability)
 Management: organizing teams, directing activities,
correcting problems
 Human factors: user task understanding and
modeling; ergonomics in user interface design
 Engineering: tradeoffs, canonical solutions to typical
problems
 Tradeoffs and representative qualities
 Pick any two:
 Good, fast, cheap
 Scalability, functionality, performance
