The document discusses software refactoring, which is a process of restructuring existing object-oriented computer code, changing the internal structure of software without changing its external behavior. Refactoring improves nonfunctional attributes of the software without affecting its functionalities. It aims to improve factors such as code readability, extensibility, reuse and maintainability. Refactoring techniques include extracting methods, moving features between objects, inline changes and renaming packages and classes without changing the overall result of the software. Regular refactoring is important for long-term maintenance of software systems as it reduces technical debt that makes software harder to evolve over time.

1. Software Reusability
Software reusability
TERM PAPER
Software reusability is generally considered a way to solve the software development crisis. When we solve
a problem we try to apply the solution to similar problems because that makes our work easy and simple.
Now in this paper I would like to cover important aspects of software reusability. But one thing is for sure
software reusability can improve software productivity. Software reuse has become a topic of much interest
in the software community due to its potential benefits, which include increased product quality and
decreased product cost and schedule. The most substantial benefits derive from a product line approach,
where a common set of reusable software assets act as a base for subsequent ... Show more content on

And it's not just a technical issue; it is highly managerial in nature. As much as libraries of reusable code
and other assets are important, they will not be fully utilized without management and process support of
reuse.
Organization and Process
The classical software development process does not support reuse.[2] Reusable assets should be designed
and built in a clearly defined, open way, with concise interface specifications, understandable
documentation, and an eye towards future use. Typically, customer, client, and contract projects are built as
"one–time only," without reuse in mind, and tend to be tightly bound within themselves, without the more
robust open interfaces which ease the reuse process. Therefore, in order to make the most of software reuse,
the software development process must evolve to include reuse activities.
A strong organizational foundation must exist for reuse to succeed, since domain engineering involves a
different way of looking at software products, called a product line approach. A product line is a family of
similar products addressing a particular market segment, or domain, and provides a massive opportunity for
reuse. With a reuse process in place, every

3. Application Software
Application Software
Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer software designed to help the
user to perform specific tasks. Application software is contrasted with system software and middleware,
which manage and integrate a computer's capabilities, but typically do not directly apply them in the
performance of tasks that benefit the user. The system software serves the application, which in turn serves
the user.()Application software is usually designed for end users and most are user friendly. Application
software applies the power of a particular computing platform or system software to a particular purpose.
There are many ways to obtain application software: "Commercial software, Public–domain ... Show more

Specialty software
Specialty software operates the same as other software, but is tailor to a specially job or task. Many jobs
require specially software to perform their duties like, engineers uses computer–aided design (CAD) for
process of design and design–documentation. Project mangers use specially software to estimation and
planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software,
communication, quality management and documentation or administration systems, which are used to deal
with the complexity of large projects.( Young–Hoon Kwak)

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. The difficulty in software testing stems from the complexity of software: we can
not completely test a program with moderate complexity. Testing is more than just debugging. The purpose
of testing can be quality assurance, verification and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But this alone will not guarantee to make the software better, because the Complexity Barrier [Beizer90]
principle states: Software complexity(and therefore that of bugs) grows to the limits of our ability to manage
that complexity. By eliminating the (previous) easy bugs you allowed another escalation of features and
complexity, but his time you have subtler bugs to face, just to retain the reliability you had before. Society
seems to be unwilling to limit complexity because we all want that extra bell, whistle, and feature
interaction. Thus, our users always push us to the complexity barrier and how close we can approach that
barrier is largely determined by the strength of the techniques we can wield against ever more complex and
subtle bugs. [Beizer90]
Regardless of the limitations, testing is an integral part in software development. It is broadly deployed in
every phase in the software development cycle. Typically, more than 50% percent of the development time
is spent in testing. Testing is usually performed for the following purposes: * To improve quality.
As computers and software are used in critical applications, the outcome of a bug can be severe. Bugs can
cause huge losses. Bugs in critical systems have caused airplane crashes, allowed space shuttle missions to
go awry, halted trading on the stock market, and worse. Bugs can kill. Bugs can

The Agile method breakdowns the project into different phases for web development it includes Ideation,
Content, Functional Prototype and Graphic Design. During the Ideation phase, the purpose and basic
information architecture of website is decided, it can be achieved through developing new ideas and
workshops and the result can be in the form of descriptive Text or sketches [3]. Using this information the
content was created and the closer the content is to being finalized it is easier for the interaction and graphic
designer. The functional prototype is created on the same platform that the final product will be developed
in and ready to use. When the work with the functional prototype is completed it's used as architecture for
the graphic design. It's very important not to secure any design decisions just because the design has to work
with the content and client experience [3]. Once the prototype have been completed we generally have a
completed website, it's simply a matter of correcting the content, page structure and user experience. Now it
also the time to test the website in all supporting browsers and platforms to make sure that it works as
expected [3]. ISSUES WITH THE AGILE METHODLOGY: The Agile projects have smaller planning

The work in this line of research has, traditionally, focused on two factors: the temporal dependencies
among tasks that are assigned to organizational groups and the formal organizational structure as a means of
communication and coordination (Carley & Ren, 2001; Levchuck et al, 2004). Secondly, the research on
dynamic analysis of social networks provides an innovative approach, called the meta–matrix, to examine
the dynamic co–evolution of relationships among multiple types of entities such as resources, tasks, and
individuals (Carley, 2002; Krackhardt & Carley, 1998). When the coordination analysis is taken out and
drawn a pattern of coordination (in Figure 1 case A),if we have high levels of congruence. If the pattern of
coordination requirements and coordination analysis do not match, we have low levels of congruence. (in

Software applications undergo software development life cycle (SDLC) which involve requirement
gathering, system design, application development, quality analysis and maintenance. Different strategies
such as extreme programming, agile, and scrum can be employed to achieve efficient software development
and maintenance plan. System analysis and design models built using object oriented methodology and
UML help in understanding the purpose of software application and act as blueprint to implement the

Functional requirements are operations, technical computation and data processing that explain the
functionality of the application. Non–functional requirements describe expected behaviour of the
functionality specified for the system. Non–functional requirement specifies the design constraints and
characteristics that need to be taken care of to satisfy user requirements. Non–functional requirement
specifies the behaviour of the system with respect to various quantifiable attributes like performance,
availability, etc. [8]. System design specifies plan to implement functional requirements whereas system
architecture specifies plan to implement non–functional requirement. Functional requirements can be
explained using use cases and non–functional are listed in a table. Functional Requirements for Travel
Helper are explained using use cases models. Non–Functional Requirements are listed in Appendix A. 2.2.2

Will commercial software survive the battle with open Source software or are they already losing? How (if
at all) are the commercial software houses defending themselves?
Part 1: Basic Concepts:
Terms:
Free and open–source software (FOSS) is software that is both open source software and free software. This
means that it is freely licensed to use, examine, copy, alter the source code of the software, and the source
code it self is openly shared. However, for software to be considered FOSS it must pass a certain criteria
established by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). They determine that FOSS must have a completely free
redistribution with no form of royalty or other form of a fee for the sale (resellers) and the source code must
be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore, it falls into the distinct categories of shareware (demo or trial software where you can download
it for free but some features are restricted or to continue to use the software a payment is required) and
payware (traditional pay–to–use software) but not freeware (since its free). In all cases however, the source
code is hidden from the users, so that the rights holders (the software publishers) can sell the binary
executable (source code).
History:
Commercial software has been around since 1948 (when the first computer which could hold software was
created, nicknamed baby). The history of FOSS has a strong connection with the 'hackers' in Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. These hackers in 1970s created something ARPANET (known today as the
internet). There were discussions to sell it commercially however the university and its hackers were
strongly opposed to such an idea for they had worked with the ideology that sharing information is a virtue
and they had a moral duty to provide knowledge to the world. These early hackers stayed true to this
ideology and made their software completely free with the source code completely accessible. Richard
Stallman was one of the main people who pushed forward this ideology preventing the university to
monetize the ARPANET and the software they created.
Late in 1997 in MIT the term Open Source software was coined. The developers also founded OSI who

17. Software Engineering : An Intrinsic Property Of Software
Software Engineering Assignment 1 A Survey of Software Refactoring An intrinsic property of software in a
real–world environment is its need to evolve. As the software enhanced, modified, and adapted to new
requirements, code becomes more complex and drifts away from original design, thereby lowering the
quality of the software. Because of this, the major part of the total software development cost is devoted to
software maintenance. Better software development methods and tools do not solve this problem because
their increased capacity is used to implement more new requirements within the same time frame, making
the software more complex again. The research domain that addresses this problem is referred to as
restructuring or, in the specific case of object oriented software development, refactoring. The given article
is about software refactoring. Refactoring is basically the object–oriented variant of restructuring: "the
process of changing a [object–oriented] software system in such a way that it does not alter the external
behavior of the code, yet improves its internal structure". The key idea here is to redistribute classes,
variables, and methods across the class hierarchy in order to facilitate future adaptations and extensions. The
refactoring process consists of a number of distinct activities:  Identify where the software should be
refactored.  Determine which refactoring(s) should be applied to the identified places.  Guarantee that

Chapter 1 Software And Software Engineering Chapter 1 is about a lot of various topics. It starts off with a
comical story at the beginning telling the readers that "Software is dead" this is of course far from true. This
is used as a way to capture the reader 's attention as well as describe how the history of software distribution
has developed over time. The chapter proceeds to describe commonly asked questions of programmers like
"Why does it take so long to get a software finished" or "Why are development costs so high?". Moving
onward the book not only defines the word, software, in the literal textbook sense but also proceeds to
contrast it from hardware by identifying it as a logical element and gives a list of characteristic differences
of the two. The three characteristics it lists are how software is developed, how software ages, and how it is
custom built unlike most of the things in the world. Next the text proceeds to list 7 categories that challenge
today 's software engineers such as system software, web applications, artificial intelligence software, and
others. The book goes on to say that a some of the challenges are being built on new systems but many
already exist and must be changed and/or adapted to fit the ever–changing needs of the world and society.

31. The Effect Of Software Piracy
Introduction Software piracy is said to be so profitable in many countries, especially in China. It is even said
that organized criminal groups use the proceeds from software piracy to pay for terrorist actions overseas
(Software Piracy Problem in China). In 2013, a Chinese national was sentenced to prison in the U.S. for
selling more than $100 million worth of pirated software from American companies, including Agilent
Technologies, Inc. from his home in China (Feeley). The effect of software piracy is definitely big for
businesses. $100 million is no small amount, even for giants like Microsoft. Although it will not be enough
to bring down a company, it will still be a loss that will be felt by big companies. All the more that the loss
will be felt by companies who are smaller than Microsoft.
Its Effect on Business In just the world of entertainment in the U.S., the contribution to the U.S. economy is
already $80 billion each year (Scholes). But this is nowhere where it should be. Estimates have it that
750,000 jobs are lost due to online piracy. If the 750,000 jobs are not lost, think of the resulting productivity
that will be generated by those people, and the resulting business they will generate. The cost of the piracy
that happens online is estimated to be about $250 billion each year. Software piracy is also a huge source of

step that moves the concentration from problem domain to solution domain in SDLC (Software
development Life Cycle). Software design yields three levels of results that are Architectural Design, High–
level design, and detailed design. Firstly, the architectural design is the highest abstract version of the

Building the System Software The system design prerequisites to get implemented to a practical
system/application which requires the coding of design into a computer language, i.e., programming
language. The programmer converts the program specifications into computer instructions, referred to as
programs. Building the system software marks an important stage in SDLC as it marks the bridge where the
defined procedures get transformed into control specifications with the help of computer language
(Humphrey 46). The programs implemented coordinate the data movements and the control of the entire
process of the system or application. How well this phase gets implemented, depicts on much effort and
time spent on the testing and maintenance phase of SDLC (Jacobson, Ivar, et al.). To help in fast
development, future changes and maintenance, if required, programs must be modular in nature. On the type
of application or system implemented programming tools like compilers, interpreters, and language like C,
C++, and Java gets used for coding, and the right programming should get chosen for better implementation

John W. Brackett states that "The subject of software requirements is often given far less attention in
software engineering education Because of the dependence of this module on than software design, even
though its importance is Software Specification: The hardest single part of building a software system is
deciding precisely what to build. No other part of the conceptual work is as difficult as establishing the
detailed technical requirements, including all the inter–faces to people, to machines and to other software
systems. No part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done wrong. No other part is more difficult
to rectify later" (Brackett, 1996). This paper will give the definition of software requirements; how they are

Software is created with programming language and it contains the tools, compiler, editor and so on.
Computer is one type of hardware that can reads all the software.
Software is one type of program which is developed by developer which is enables to computer to perform a
correct and particular task.
When the program has been finished then it is required to compile in to language for the understanding of
the computer.
Software testing is the one type of procedure of secure that the products which is created by the developer
or programmer for the user or customer which meets all the user requirements.
Sometimes software testing is compulsory because in the software there is some faults and errors. We can
not avoid the faults and this error.
If there are fault in the software equivalent to the design mistake in hardware.
Software testing can not completely identify all the defects and errors within the software.
Software testing is one type of process that should be always done during the software development
process.
Testing judge the quality of the products. After testing we can realize that the products is good for use or
not.
In the other words we can say that software testing is one type of verification and validation process.

43. Software And Software Based Systems Testing
Introduction Software and software–based systems testing is a technical discipline of systems engineering.
The purpose of software and software–based systems testing is to help the development organization build
quality into the software and system during the life cycle processes and to validate that the quality was
achieved. The test process determines whether the products of a given life cycle activity conform to the
requirements of that activity, and whether the product satisfies its intended use and user needs. This
determination can include inspection, demonstration, analysis, and testing of software and software–based
system products. Test activities are performed in parallel with software and system development, not just at
the conclusion of the development effort. IEEE 829 supports all software life cycle processes, including
acquisition, supply, development, operation, and maintenance. This standard is compatible with all life cycle
models. Not all life cycle models use all of the life cycle processes listed in this standard. System and
software test processes determine whether the outcomes of a given activity conform to the requirements of
that activity and whether the development product satisfies its intended use and user needs. The
determination may include analysis, demonstration, inspection, and testing of software products. The user of
this standard may invoke those software life cycle processes and the associated test processes that apply to
the project.

Software project management is necessary to develop a high quality software product. Software project
management involves the activities of planning, organizing, directing, monitoring and controlling. We are
concerned with the risk factors which will affect the management activities and the developing project will
not proceed according to the plan. The term "Risk" is a problem which can threaten the success of the
software project. But we often assume that everything will go exactly, it is planned [1]. A challenge for IT
industry is to develop software system that meets business needs. The fact is we have to deliver software
that is free of bugs. The bugs in software can cause major loss in IT organization if they are not removed
before delivery. Software testing is as old as the hills in the history of digital computers. The testing of
software is an important means of assessing the software to determine its quality. Since testing typically
consumes 40 – 50% of development efforts, and consumes more effort for systems that require higher levels
of reliability, it is a significant part of the software engineering. Software testing is performed to support
quality assurance [2].Good quality software can be made by using an efficient test method. Statistics say

Parnas Law
David Parnas develop the Law of Hiding the information in Modular Programming. The types of thing are
hidden is the information in the modular programming. When the design decision changed, they are hidden
through the programming to protect the other parts from the general alteration. In other words, it also states
that information hiding is the aptitude to avoid positive aspect of class from being available to its client by
using other programming features. For example, Adabas developed dedicated software using a
programming language known as Natural. The software allowed the agents and clerks to use it for basic
purposes only. However, more advance usage of the program was hidden from the low–level support and
only expert programming agents had the access to this software. When you change something, the main risk
should appear in the software development process, the code is changed through the shifting process and the
design decision should change the interface as well as the whole backhand process (Merz et.al, 2014).

Abstract
Software testing is an important activity in software engineering, as it is used for examining the quality or
capability of a software and conforms that it meets the desired output. There are several methods to do
software testing, but testing a complex software efficiently is the process of investigating thoroughly, it is
not like to follow a procedure or method merely. In complex software it is not possible to discover all the
errors. In testing, this type of complex software always creates problem for tester and throws open questions
like, "what would be the best strategy that we should follow?" Also, selecting a strategy is important

The software that works effectively can be tested efficiently.
If the software is designed in controlled manner than the testing would be more automated and optimized.
The number of changes fewer in design, then there will be fewer confusion in testing.
The testing which uncovers all errors is successful testing.
The process of identifying the correctness and completeness in software is known as testing.

64. Software as a Service
Many years ago, to use software, businesses and organizations purchase traditionally packaged applications,
such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop, and install them locally onto their computers. In the 1990's,
upon the expansion of the Internet, Application Service Provider (ASP) was introduced wherein businesses
were provided with software that they can access over the Internet through a web browser. But then, service
and financial failures occurred as a result of actions such as rushing the market offerings before issues were
solved and failing to cut the costs for the customers at a greater extent because of having a unique server for
each customer. Those scalability problems or the ability to adapt to increasing demands, and reliability
problems eventually led to its downfall. Software as a Service (SaaS) or also known as "on–demand" then
evolved from the ASP model. With SaaS, software is not installed in the customer's computer but in the
provider's server somewhere else, and to access the software, the customer needs to connect to that server
through either a thin client,which is a computer or a program that relies on another computer, or a web
browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. Basically, it is also a software
delivery model. But unlike the ASP, it has increased user awareness and is a multi–tenant based service
which means that repairs, updates, and upgrades are applied once for all customers instead of one at a time,

as well as costs of the tests. Since automation testing is reliable form of testing a software but it does not
provide complete test automation for all situations.This paper elaborates on the process of how test oracles
are created as well as used and the challenges that hinder complete automation testing of the application.
Cloud testing is a new type of software testing where any software application that is deployed on cloud can
be tested easily on the cloud. The cloud environment provides infinite resources to test applications
alongwith pay as you use.There are various cloud providers who offer testing services on the cloud so that

Software Testing
What is Software Testing?
Software Testing is a process in which computer softwares are tested to see if they produce the results that
they are expected to produce. It is a process of executing a program with the intention of finding software
bugs. It provides us with information about the quality of the system/product/software we are testing.
Testing can determine the correctness of the software under observation based on the system requirements
but it cannot identify all the defects in the software. This is because testing is always done based on some
criteria which include specifications, comparable products, previous versions of the same product,
inferences about the expected product, user expectations, applicable laws, relevant standards, etc. Testing
identifies software failures in order to discover and correct defects.
Over the period of time, software testing has become more difficult because of the large number of
operating systems, programming languages and hardware platforms that have evolved during the
intervening decades. Software is enveloping, which raises the value of testing it. Today's concept of
computer is much more difficult to define due to the machines being more powerful and compact than the

I. Introduction
In today's software development, quality is a significant factor of software projects. Companies always
expect that software developers could deliver a product with as many as possible demanded quality. How to
allocate those limited resources transparently and effectively during the quality assurance activities and how
to balance the risk and quality while software development? Current methods indicate us that we need to
mitigate quality risks and emphasize the constraints of limited resources for quality assurance activities
simultaneously.
Moreover, as the development of software management, the time of which customers could not see their
software product until delivering is gone. Nowadays, it is much more emphasis on getting the feedback of
stakeholder about the project quality. Therefore, a major issue is how could developers or software project
managers reaches an agreement with customers about project functions or features. In order to solve this
problem, Alexander Poth and Ali Sunyaev attempt to establishing a method, which allow stakeholder could
participate in the selection of functions and features phase. To do this, both project developers and
stakeholders would have a confidence of the quality of a project. Due to this attempt, they develop the

74. Software and Its Types
WHAT IS A SOFTWARE
A set of instructions that cause a computer to perform one or more tasks. The set of instructions is often
called a program or, if the set is particularly large and complex, a system. Computers cannot do any useful
work without instructions from software; thus a combination of software and hardware (the computer) is
necessary to do any computerized work. A program must tell the computer each of a set of minuscule tasks
to perform, in a framework of logic, such that the computer knows exactly what to do and when to do it. See
also Computer programming.
Programs are written in programming languages, especially designed to facilitate the creation of software.

Although most software is in some sense real–time, since the users of modern software are usually
interacting with it via a GUI, real–time software typically has much shorter time constraints. For example,
software that controls a nuclear reactor must make decisions and react to its environment in minuscule
fractions of a second.
With the advent of multiple program portions, software development has become considerably more
complicated. Whereas it was formerly considered sensible to develop all of a software system in the same
programming language, now the different portions are often developed in entirely different languages. The
relatively complex GUI, for example, can most conveniently be developed in one of the so–called visual
languages, since those languages contain powerful facilities for creating it. The server software, on the other
hand, will likely be built using a database package and the database language SQL (a Structured Query
Language, for inquiring into the contents of a database). If the server software is also responsible for
interacting with a network such as the Internet, it may also be coded in a network–support language such as
Java. An object–oriented approach may be adopted in its development, since the software will need to
manipulate objects on the Internet.
