The document outlines a software engineering course, including:
1) A list of project groups and the software development process to be covered;
2) Assignment 1 details and requirements for an informal scenarios exercise;
3) An overview of software process models like waterfall, evolutionary development, and spiral development.
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis encompasses those tasks that go into determining the needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating and managing software or system requirements.
Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test.
Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation.
Why is Software Testing Important to a business?
Software testing is a process to determine the quality of the software developed by a developer or programmer. It is a methodological study intended to evaluate the quality-related information of the product. Understanding of the important features and advantages of software testing helps businesses in their day-to-day activities.
Testing can be done in two ways, manual testing and automated testing. Manual software testing is done by human testers, who manually check the code and report bugs in it. In case of automated testing, testing is performed by a computer using software such as WinRunner, LoadRunner, etc.

Machine Learning in Software EngineeringAlaa Hamouda
Software is nowadays a critical component of our lives and everyday-work working activities. However, as the technological infrastructure of the modern world evolves a great challenge arises for developing high quality software systems with increasing size and complexity. Software engineers and researchers are striving to meet this challenge by developing and implementing software engineering methodologies able to deliver software products of high quality, within budget and time constraints. The field of machine learning in software engineering has recently emerged to provide means for addressing, studying, analyzing, and understanding critical software development issues and at the same time to offer mature machine learning techniques such as artificial neural network, Bayesian networks, decision trees, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and rule induction. Machine learning algorithms have proven to be of great practical value to software engineering. Not surprisingly, the field of software engineering turns out to be a fertile ground where many software development tasks could be formulated as learning problems and approached in terms of learning algorithms. In this paper, we first take a look at the characteristics and applicability of some frequently utilized machine learning algorithms. We then present the application of machine learning in the different phases of software engineering that include project planning, requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

Informal Scenarios - Guidelines
Large number of small informal scenarios – short
scenarios
An informal scenario should address one coherent aspect
of the system (logon, make a move, …)
Should specify concrete values
Address some errors
Implementation details must not be in informal scenario
Each informal scenario should have the form:
• System state at start
• Informal scenario
• Next informal scenario in sequence
6. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 6
Sample: User makes a move
Current system state: The system state consists of each
player at his or her starting location on the game board.
The 3 players in the game, Andrea, Max, and Emma have
each been dealt six cards (evidence). Value of cards is
irrelevant to this scenario
Informal Scenario: Andrea has the next move. She spins
the spinner which lands on the number 5. Andrea has the
white playing piece. She moves this piece one space to
the left, one space toward the top, two spaces to the right,
and finally, one space to the top. Because of the final
position of the game piece, Andrea has not additional
option and her turn ends.
Next scenario: The player to the left of Andrea goes next,
Max goes next

10. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 10
The software process
A structured set of activities required to develop a
software system
• Specification
• Design
• Validation
• Evolution
A software process model is an abstract
representation of a process. It presents a
description of a process from some particular
perspective
11. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 11
Generic software process models
The waterfall model
• Separate and distinct phases of specification and development
Evolutionary development
• Specification and development are interleaved
Formal systems development
• A mathematical system model is formally transformed to an
implementation
Reuse-based development
• The system is assembled from existing components

The drawback of the waterfall model is the
difficulty of accommodating change after the
process is underway
14. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 14
Waterfall model problems
Inflexible partitioning of the project into distinct
stages
This makes it difficult to respond to changing
customer requirements
Therefore, this model is only appropriate when
the requirements are well-understood
15. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 15
Evolutionary development
Exploratory development
• Objective is to work with customers and to evolve a final
system from an initial outline specification. Should start with
well-understood requirements
Throw-away prototyping
• Objective is to understand the system requirements. Should start
with poorly understood requirements

Problems
• Lack of process visibility
• Systems are often poorly structured
• Special skills (e.g. in languages for rapid prototyping) may be
required
Applicability
• For small or medium-size interactive systems
• For parts of large systems (e.g. the user interface)
• For short-lifetime systems
18. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 18
Formal systems development
Based on the transformation of a mathematical
specification through different representations to
an executable program
Transformations are ‘correctness-preserving’ so it
is straightforward to show that the program
conforms to its specification

Problems
• Need for specialised skills and training to apply the technique
• Difficult to formally specify some aspects of the system such as

Applicability
• Critical systems especially those where a safety or security case
must be made before the system is put into operation
22. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 22
Reuse-oriented development
Based on systematic reuse where systems are
integrated from existing components or COTS
(Commercial-off-the-shelf) systems
Process stages
• Component analysis
• Requirements modification
• System design with reuse
• Development and integration
This approach is becoming more important but
still limited experience with it

Process iteration
System requirements ALWAYS evolve in the
course of a project so process iteration where
earlier stages are reworked is always part of the
process for large systems
Iteration can be applied to any of the generic
process models
Two (related) approaches
• Incremental development
• Spiral development
25. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 25
Incremental development
Rather than deliver the system as a single
delivery, the development and delivery is broken
down into increments with each increment
delivering part of the required functionality
User requirements are prioritised and the highest
priority requirements are included in early
increments
Once the development of an increment is started,
the requirements are frozen though requirements
for later increments can continue to evolve

requirements for later increments
Lower risk of overall project failure
The highest priority system services tend to
receive the most testing
28. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 28
Extreme programming
New approach to development based on the
development and delivery of very small
increments of functionality
Relies on constant code improvement, user
involvement in the development team and
pairwise programming
29. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 29
Spiral development
Process is represented as a spiral rather than as a
sequence of activities with backtracking
Each loop in the spiral represents a phase in the
process.
No fixed phases such as specification or design -
loops in the spiral are chosen depending on what
is required
Risks are explicitly assessed and resolved
throughout the process

Spiral model sectors
Objective setting
• Specific objectives for the phase are identified
Risk assessment and reduction
• Risks are assessed and activities put in place to reduce the key
risks
Development and validation
• A development model for the system is chosen which can be
any of the generic models
Planning
• The project is reviewed and the next phase of the spiral is
planned
32. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 32
Software specification
The process of establishing what services are
required and the constraints on the system’s
operation and development
Requirements engineering process
• Feasibility study
• Requirements elicitation and analysis
• Requirements specification
• Requirements validation

Software design and implementation
The process of converting the system
specification into an executable system
Software design
• Design a software structure that realises the specification
Implementation
• Translate this structure into an executable program
The activities of design and implementation are
closely related and may be inter-leaved

Design methods
Systematic approaches to developing a software
design
The design is usually documented as a set of
graphical models
Possible models
• Data-flow model
• Entity-relation-attribute model
• Structural model
• Object models
38. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 38
Programming and debugging
Translating a design into a program and removing
errors from that program
Programming is a personal activity - there is no
generic programming process
Programmers carry out some program testing to
discover faults in the program and remove these
faults in the debugging process

Software validation
Verification and validation is intended to show
that a system conforms to its specification and
meets the requirements of the system customer
Involves checking and review processes and
system testing
System testing involves executing the system
with test cases that are derived from the
specification of the real data to be processed by
the system

Testing stages
Unit testing
• Individual components are tested
Module testing
• Related collections of dependent components are tested
Sub-system testing
• Modules are integrated into sub-systems and tested. The focus here
should be on interface testing
System testing
• Testing of the system as a whole. Testing of emergent properties
Acceptance testing
• Testing with customer data to check that it is acceptable

Software evolution
Software is inherently flexible and can change.
As requirements change through changing
business circumstances, the software that
supports the business must also evolve and
change
Although there has been a demarcation between
development and evolution (maintenance) this is
increasingly irrelevant as fewer and fewer
systems are completely new

Automated process support (CASE)
Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) is
software to support software development and
evolution processes
Activity automation
• Graphical editors for system model development
• Data dictionary to manage design entities
• Graphical UI builder for user interface construction
• Debuggers to support program fault finding
• Automated translators to generate new versions of a program
47. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 47
Case technology
Case technology has led to significant
improvements in the software process though not
the order of magnitude improvements that were
once predicted
• Software engineering requires creative thought - this is not
readily automatable
• Software engineering is a team activity and, for large projects,
much time is spent in team interactions. CASE technology does
not really support these
48. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 48
CASE classification
Classification helps us understand the different types of
CASE tools and their support for process activities
Functional perspective
• Tools are classified according to their specific function
Process perspective
• Tools are classified according to process activities that are supported
Integration perspective
• Tools are classified according to their organisation into integrated units
49. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 49
Functional tool classification
Tool type Examples
Planning tools PERT tools, estimation tools,
spreadsheets
Editing tools Text editors, diagram editors, word
processors
Change management tools Requirements traceability tools, change
control systems
Configuration management tools Version management systems, system
building tools
Prototyping tools Very high-level languages,
userin terface generators
Method-support tools Design editors, data dictionaries, code
generators
Language-processing tools Compilers, interpreters
Program analysis tools Cross reference generators, static
analysers, dynamic analysers

51. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 51
CASE integration
Tools
• Support individual process tasks such as design consistency
checking, text editing, etc.
Workbenches
• Support a process phase such as specification or design,
Normally include a number of integrated tools
Environments

Normally include several integrated workbenches
53. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 53
Key points
Software processes are the activities involved in
producing and evolving a software system. They
are represented in a software process model
General activities are specification, design and
implementation, validation and evolution
Generic process models describe the organisation
of software processes
Iterative process models describe the software
process as a cycle of activities
54. Computer Science Software Engineering Slide 54
Key points
Requirements engineering is the process of developing a
software specification
Design and implementation processes transform the
specification to an executable program
Validation involves checking that the system meets to its
specification and user needs
Evolution is concerned with modifying the system after it
is in use
CASE technology supports software process activities
