Software engineering
This document provides an introduction to software engineering. It discusses the challenges of software projects such as being effort intensive, high cost, and long development times. Reasons for software product failure include a lack of planning, undefined deliverables, poor understanding of requirements, and technical problems. The document defines software engineering as the application of a systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approach to developing, operating, and maintaining software. The goals of software engineering are to improve quality, increase productivity, and provide job satisfaction. The role of a software engineer is to be a good programmer with design knowledge and produce reliable, maintainable, and efficient software products.

- 2. Outline – Basic Introduction of Software Engineering • Challenge in Software projects. • Reason for failure a Software Product. • What is Software Engineering. • Goal Of Software Engineering. • The role of Software Engineer. • Software Product attributes.
- 3. Challenge in Software projects • Effort intensive-we have to organize work very meticulously. • High cost. • Long Development time. • Challenging need for users. • High risk of failure. User acceptance,Performance,maintanability
- 4. Reason for failure a Software Product • No any plan about development process and result in such problem. • Deliverables to user not identified. • Poor understanding of user requirements. • No control of review. • Poor understanding of cost and effort by both developer and user. • Technical problems of the developers.
- 5. What is Software Engineering? • Development Operation & maintenance Software • “The application of a systematic,disciplined,and quantifiable approach to the development, Operation, and maintenance of software. That is the application of engineering to software. “ IEEE.
- 6. Goal Of Software Engineering • Main Goals of Software Engineering?? • To improve the quality of the any software production. • To Increase the productivity. • To give job satisfaction to the software engineers.
- 7. The role of Software Engineer • Should be a good programmer: Should have good Knowledge about data structure and algorithms & be fluent in one or more programming languages. • Should be familiar with several design approaches • What is good engineered software product? Any good engineered System should have Be easy to maintain. Be reliable. Be efficient.
