  1. Software Engineering The Software Life Cycle Development Process Models Modularity

  2. The Software Life Cycle • Develop the system • If obsolete stop usage • If not obsolete use the system • Then modify the system • Then test to see if obsolete

  3. System Development • System Development broken down into 4 parts • Analysis • Design • Implementation • Testing

  4. Development Process Models - Waterfall Model - Incremental Model

  5. Waterfall Model • One phase cannot be started before the other is completed

  6. Incremental Model • Process developed in series of steps • When first group is completed second is started

  7. Analysis • Define the user (one or multiple) • Define the needs (expectations) • Define the requirements (rules/additions) • Define the methods (methods to meet the requirements

  8. Design Phase • Modularity • A) package is divided into small groups (modules) • B) each Module is designed, tested and linked • Tools • A) structure chart • a) shows steps to break down package • b) shows interaction between parts

  9. Coupling A measuring of how tightly modules are bound to each other Cohesion Measures how closely the processes are related Modularity

  10. Coupling • Data coupling (sends min data, best form) • Stamp coupling (sends structures) • Control coupling (sends flags) • Global coupling (uses global variables, worst form) • Content Coupling (refers directly to data)

  11. Cohesion • Functional Cohesion (one process) • Sequential Cohesion (two or more related tasks) • Communicational Cohesion (combines processes on the same data) • Procedural Cohesion (combines unrelated processes linked by control flow) • Temporal Cohesion (combines unrelated processes that always occur together) • Logical Cohesion (combines related processes only by the controlling entity) • Coincidental Cohesion (combines unrelated processes)

  12. Implementation Phase • Tools • A) flowchart given to show logical flow of data • B) a Pseudocode is written (partly in English and partly in logic) that describes an algorithm • Code • A code is written in a language specific to the project

  13. Testing • Black Box Testing • Done by the engineer who ha no idea what is inside the program and how it works • White Box Testing • Done by the programmer who knows everything about the program • Hardest and most tedious step of system development
