The document summarizes key aspects of software engineering processes and lifecycles. It discusses:
- The typical phases of the software development lifecycle including requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance.
- The software engineering approach focuses on achieving high quality and productivity through effective software processes and managing process quality.
- Effective processes are phased, with defined stages executed in order to better manage and control software projects.
- The costs of software, including development costs which are a function of program size, productivity and salaries. Maintenance costs are higher than initial development.
- Error correction becomes significantly more expensive in later stages, so earlier stages require more attention and error removal.

8. Software Myths (‘Tonies or Ponies’)
• Management Myths ( Also see www.mhhe.com/pressman )
– We already have a book that’s full of standards and
procedures for building software. Won’t that provide
my people with everything they need to know?
– If we get behind schedule, we can add more
programmers and catch up
“Adding people to a late software project makes it later” – F
Brooks (1975)
– If I decide to outsource the software project to a 3rd
party, I can just relax and let that firm build it.
No substitute to misinformation
9. • Customer Myths
– A general statement of objectives is sufficient to begin writing
programs – we can fill the details later
• More information you have at start better equipped you are.
– Project requirements continually change, but change can be
easily accommodated because software is (not physical and)
flexible
• Practitioner’s Myths
– Once we write the program and get it to work, our job is done
• This is the start, not the end, 60% - 80% of effort will be
expended after the program is deployed. For every $ spent
on development needs 2 $s for its maintenance
– Until I get the program running, I have no way of assessing its
quality
• Quality is whole some, of each part, so quality filters need to
be inserted in the process for various phases of Sw
Development
10. – The only deliverable work product for a successful project is the
working program
• Documentation, data, rule base etc are all parts of software
– Software Engineering will make us create voluminous and
unnecessary documentation and will invariably slow us down.
• Will make things easy, and lead to quicker development and
easy and cost effective maintenance
11. Software is Expensive
• Bell 2005, quotes that US$ 500 B is spent
annually for software purchase and development
in USA and it is 1 % of her annual GNP (Gross
National Product)
• Globally US$ 1000 B is spent on Software
development
• Many countries exports like our neighbor’s have
significant fraction coming from Sw
• Pakistan currently generates 1.5 to 2 B US$
annually from Sw exports – Ref to Mr Saleem
Ghori, CEO, NetSol, 2009
12. Pak Software Exports
• Daily Express, Islamabad, dated Feb 21, 2011
quoted Federal Bureau of Statistics that for period
of July to December 2010
– Sw exports amounted to Rs 6.15 Billions, with an
increase of 13.13% from its last year figure
– Overseas Sw Consultancy services Rs 1.3 B
– Computers Repair and support Rs 0.05 B
– Computer related Auxiliary Services Rs 1.3B
• Total sw exports were Rs 8.8 B with an increase
of 8.37 % from previous year
16. Compute the Cost of a Software
A software of size say 100 KLOC, like
Apache web server, is to be developed by
a team of professional software
developers, having an average
productivity of 150 LOC per person-
month, and drawing an average salary of
Rs 30,000/- a month.
17.
18. Program Size = 100 KLOC
Average Productivity = 150 LOC / Person-
Month
Duration = Program Size / Productivity
= 100 KLOC/150 LOC/Per-Mon
= 2/3 K Per-Mon
Rate = 30 K Rs / Per-Mon
Total Cost = Duration * Rate
= 2/3 K Per-Mon * 30 K Rs / Per-Mon
= 20 K * K Rs = 20 M Rs
= Rs 20,000,000
19. Software – Problems and
Prospects
Software is Open ended, complex and key
mechanism in providing the requisite
functionality of the system. It is of huge
size, needs 000s of people and millions of
$s of investment to develop.
The perceived problems in Sw development
and goals the Sw Development needs to
achieve are:
20. • Meeting Users’ Needs
• Low Cost of Production
• High Performance
• Portability – it works at various envisaged
platforms
• Low Cost of Maintenance
• High Reliability
• Scalability
• Delivery on Time
– Till to-date each of the above goals is partially
achieved, so it stays as a Sw dev problem. SE
seeks to provide the techniques to resolve these
problems i.e. to achieve these goals.
24. Software Engineering Approach
High Quality and Productivity (Q&P) is the
basic objective of Software Engineering.
The main three forces governing Q&P are:
25. Software Process
• Software Process is the way we produce
software, it starts with the concept
exploration and ends when the product is
decommissioned. During this product goes
through a series of phases like
Requirements, Specifications, Planning,
Design, Implementation, Testing, Integration,
Maintenance, Documentation and finally the
Retirement
26. Quality Product
• For a quality software product, both the
quality of product itself and quality of
software process is important.
• The cost of error recovery in the later
phases of software is many times more
than the earlier phases, so higher
attention should be paid in the earlier
phases, and these should be made error-
free.
27. Software Processes
– Software Process is comprised of a number of
processes working in Series and in parallel to
achieve the software product
– These processes can be Software Development
Process, Business Process, Training Process,
Human Resource Management or Social
Process, Quality Assurance Process, Software
Monitoring and Control Process, Inspection
Process and Software Management Process etc
– Process is execution of a number of steps in a
specified order
28. Process, Project and Product
– Process is a series of steps or activities
conducted in an orderly manner
– Project is execution of a Process, to achieve
or develop a product. It is an instance of
Process executed in specific time frame to get
the product that meets the needs of a user
– Product is the outcome of a successfully
executed project
– Process can be initiated on a number of
Projects, and a project can yield a number of
Products
29. – Process works as Check List and its pre-
defined stages are executed in the pre-
specified order
– The main objective of Software Engineering is
to develop Reliable, High Quality Software
that can be built within price and time budget,
hence we need to focus on Software Related
Processes and more precisely on Software
Development Process
30. Software Process
• Software should be
– Reliable (high quality)
– Affordable (Cheap, low cost)
– Small Time Cycle (so that the software could
be developed speedily)
• For better management and control
software process should be
– Phased i.e. consist of multiple stages
31. Software Development Process

In fact, this SD Process consists of:

tion
Deployment
32. And each one of these is further
divided into sub phases, like

33. Software Process
• Software Process is the way we produce
software, it starts with the concept
exploration and ends when the product is
decommissioned or retired. During this life,
the product goes through a series of
phases like
Requirements, Specifications, Planning,
Design, Implementation, Testing, Integration,
Maintenance, Documentation and finally the
Retirement
34. Software Development Life Cycle
• Life Cycle
• All what is done on a product from its conception to its
physical realization and retirement is called its Life Cycle
• Software Development Life Cycle Model
• It is a description of all the stages/phases that should be
performed when building a software product. Number of
stages differ from author to author, from 4 to 10 or even
more, but in general the Classical Software Development
Life Cycle model has eight (highlighted) stages
35. Different Phases of SDLC
Authors partition the SDLC activities differently, Eg
[Jal98] mentions the following 4 stages
• Requirement Analysis
• Design (further divided into System Design & Detailed Des, or Jal05
mentions them as Architectural Des, High Level Des and Low Level Des)
• Coding and
• Testing (including Unit Testing, Integration Testing and Acceptance Testing)
– Towards over-all Effort/Cost, each one of them contributed 10%, 20%,
30% and 40% respectively, and
– Error distribution among the first three phases was 20%, 30% and 50%
respectively
36. Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC) Stage or Phases
1. Requirements Phase
2. Analysis (Specification) Phase
3. Planning Phase
4. Design Phase
a. Architectural Design
b. High Level Design
c. Detailed Design
5. Implementation Phase
6. Integration Phase
7. Testing
8. Documentation
9. Post delivery Maintenance Phase
Corrective, Perfective, Adaptive
10. Retirement Phase
38. Different types of Maintenance
Post-delivery Maintenance
• Done after deployment at the clients premises
This is of two types:
Corrective Maintenance or Software Repair
Removal of Residual faults leaving the Specifications unchanged
Enhancement or Software Update
Consists of changes to specification and implementation of those
changes. It further consists of two types:
Perfective Maintenance
The changes which client thinks will improve the effectiveness of
the product, such as Additional Functionality, Decreased
response time, or Optimal memory usage
Adaptive Maintenance
Changes made in response to changes in the environment in
which the product operates, such as, a new hardware, OS or new
government regulations or conformance to new standard like
UNICODE
43. Cost of Error Recovery / Correction
• The cost of error recovery in the later
phases of software is many times more
than the earlier phases, so higher attention
should be paid in the earlier phases, and
respective stages/phases errors be
identified and eradicated, making these
phases error-free.
