This chapter discusses software engineering concepts including the software life cycle, development process models like the waterfall and incremental models, modularity, quality factors, quality circles, and the importance of documentation. It describes the system life cycle and development phases. Figures are included to illustrate the waterfall model, incremental model, quality factors, and quality circles. The objectives are to understand these software engineering topics.
