The Software Crisis • The most visible symptoms of the software crisis are o Late delivery‚ over budget o Product does not meet specified requirements o Inadequate documentation • Some observations on the software crisis o “A malady that has carried on this long must be called normal” (Booch‚ p. 8) o Software system requirements are moving targets o There may not be enough good developers around to create all the new software that users need o A significant portion of developers’ time must often

1. Can you explain the PDCA cycle and where testing fits in? Software testing is an important part of the software development process. In normal software development there are four important steps‚ also referred to‚ in short‚ as the PDCA (Plan‚ Do‚ Check‚ Act) cycle. Let’s review the four steps in detail. Plan: Define the goal and the plan for achieving that goal. Do/Execute: Depending on the plan strategy decided during the plan stage we do execution accordingly in this phase. Check: Check/Test

Michael Wilson‚ David Duce Informatics Dept.‚ Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Dan Simpson Dept. of Computer Science‚ Brighton Polytechnic. ABSTRACT Developments in software engineering have led to models of the system life cycle incorporating the use of prototyping and formal methods of program verification. These are becoming supported by integrated project support environments and permit the planning and monitoring

Computer software‚ be it the brain behind our VCR or the program created specifically to run a country’s missile defense system‚ are an absolutely integral part of helping to make our day-to-day lives that much less complicated. But when your blender comes screaming to life in your sleep‚ or your bank somehow “loses” your life savings and says “you only have 37 cents in that account”‚ who is to blame? According to liability laws that have been in question since the birth of what might be considered

What Is Computer Software? When you think of a computer imagine a machine made of two parts. The first part is the computer hardware‚ the physical parts of the computer that you can actually touch. Some examples of hardware are disks‚ monitors‚ boards‚ chips‚ etc. Hardware does all of the physical work of the computer‚ from memory storage to display. The second part‚ what we call “computer software”‚ acts as the brain of the computer‚ telling the hardware what to do and when and how to do it

traditional software metrics which could be applied to object–oriented programming and a set of object–oriented metrics (i.e. those designed specifically for object–oriented programming). Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology‚ managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to software development

Chapter 1 – Software and Software Engineering Overview Software is designed and built by software engineers. Software is used by virtually everyone in society. Software is pervasive in our commerce‚ our culture‚ and our everyday lives. Software engineers have a moral obligation to build reliable software that does no harm to other people. Software engineers view computer software‚ as being made up of the programs‚ documents‚ and data required to design and build the system. Software users are

Software Testing Carnegie Mellon University 18-849b Dependable Embedded Systems Spring 1999 Authors: Jiantao Pan mailto:%20jpan@cmu.edu Abstract: Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results. [Hetzel88] Although crucial to software quality and widely deployed by programmers and testers‚ software testing still remains an art‚ due to limited understanding of the principles of software
