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

LARGE SCALE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT 1. What are the fundamental activities that are common to all software processes? a. Specification – defining what the system should do; b. Design and implementation – defining the organization of the system and implementing the system; c. Validation – checking that it does what the customer wants; d. Evolution – changing the system in response to changing customer needs. 2. List the 3 generic

Issues—The Software Crisis 1. Introduction to Chapter The term "software crisis" has been used since the late 1960s to describe those recurring system development problems in which software development problems cause the entire system to be late‚ over budget‚ not responsive to the user and/or customer requirements‚ and difficult to use‚ maintain‚ and enhance. The late Dr. Winston Royce‚ in his paper Current Problems [1]‚ emphasized this situation when he said in 1991: The construction of new software that

Although software processes have existed for many years now‚ domain knowledge should be applied throughout every phase of the software development process. An appreciation of the assumptions underlying software engineering can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of structure and quality of work produced. Software plays an important role in business decision-making‚ and because of its growing importance

Abstract Software architecture plays an important role in the achievement of particular qualities we want to see in our software under development. On the other hand specific software demands some distinct qualities in software architecture. Now question arises how software architecture becomes the base to achieve the certain qualities and how qualities influence the architecture. Architecture provides the base for the development of the core product so by inspecting the architecture we can predict
