  3. Learning Goals • Distinguish among development processes • Benefits and disadvantages • Understand USDP / RUP • Define software “quality” quantitatively • Must be measurable, plan for collection • Understand documentation needed • Plan for iterative update with each cycle Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J.

  4. Introduction to the Software Engineering process

  5. Some Application Types • Stand-alone • residing on a single computer • not connected to other software or hardware • e.g., word processor • Embedded • part of unique application involving hardware • e.g., automobile controller • Real-time • functions must execute within small time limit • typically microseconds • e.g., radar software • Network (Web) Centric • consist of parts interacting across a network • e.g., Web-based video game Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J. Braude (Wiley 2001), with permission.

  8. Advantages of OO • Simplicity: software objects model real world objects • Modularity: data abstraction mean components are decoupled • Modifiability: component changes that respect the public interface do not affect the system • Extensibility: easy to add new objects or extend functionality of existing ones through inheritance • Maintainability: can be maintained separately and on different computers • Re-usability: objects can be reused in different programs and across a network

  9. Components and Reuse Common Object Model Idea (Java Bean or MS COM object) account getName() setName() • Meant to revolutionize software • development • Promotes reusable code, design, • architectures • Based on defined public interfaces • Internal attributes and functions are • abstracted (hidden) from external access • Can be written in different langauges • Reside on different platforms Interface Methods Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J.

  11. Expectations for SE process, project, product and people

  12. Five Key Expectations (Humphrey) 1. Predetermine quantitative quality goals Used for process development Part of the project 2. Accumulate data for subsequent use 3. Keep all work visible 4. A. Design only against requirements B. Program only against designs C. Test only against requirements and designs Aspect of the product Influenced by people 5. Measure quality

  13. Process alternatives

  14. The Project Roadmap 1. Understand nature & scope of proposed product 2. Select the development process, and create a plan 3. Gather requirements 4. Design the product Various Approaches 5. Build/Implement the product 6. Test the product 7. Deliver and maintain the product Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J. Braude (Wiley 2001), with permission.

  18. USDP / RUP Methods • USDP – Unified Software Development Process • An iterative and incremental development process. Time-boxed iterations are grouped in to phases. Each iteration results in an increment, which is a release of the system that contains added or improved functionality compared with the previous release. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Process • RUP – Rational Unified Process • Defines nine disciplines: • Engineering disciplines - Business Modeling, Requirements, Analysis and Design, Implementation, Test, Deployment; • Supporting disciplines - Configuration and Change Management, Project Management, and Environment. • Four development life-cycle phases … • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_Unified_Process

  19. USDP/RUP: Four Phases of Software LifeCycle • Inception iterations • preliminary interaction with stakeholders (customer, users, owners, financial backers) • Define objectives/requirements • Elaboration iterations • finalization of what is wanted and needed • Define architecture • Construction iterations • focus moves to detailed design, implementation and testing • Complete version of operational system • Transition iterations • Complete documentation • Release product Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J. Braude (Wiley 2001), with permission.

  23. Advantages of RUP/UPEDU • Focus on important risks / disciplines of each iteration • Detail plan only for current iteration • Coarse planning for next iterations • Allows incremental buildup of system • Reduces risks by identifying major issues early • Iterations allows people time to learn to work more efficiently / effectively

  24. Waterfall versus Iterative (USDP and RUP) • Process Trade-offs

  25. Influencial Factors in Customizinga S/W/ Process • Application domain factors • People and organizational factors • Product life-cycle factors • Process factors • (see page 42 of UPEDU)

  26. Identify the Process You Will Use 1. Decide which of waterfall, spiral, and incremental processes is appropriate Usually a spiral for a semester project Combine: start with spiral, end with incremental 2. Decide how many iterations Usually two for a semester project (there are many artifacts to coordinate at the end of each iteration) Three provides lots of practice -- but this is a challenge; make the first increment as minor as possible Three promotes the collection and use of metric data -- use metric data collected from each iteration on next. 3. Rough out a weekly schedule Coordinate with course assignments. Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J. Braude (Wiley 2001), with permission.

  33. Produce a Quality Product One way to ... 1. Quantify your quality goals team: # defective requirements,# classesmissing from design, # defects in testing, # defectsfound in operation, # defects per KLOC (1000 lines of code) personal: # defects; code, compile, unit test separately 2. Build inspections and reviews into the schedule • follow the inspection procedure (see figure 1.27) 3. Document your quality goals and procedures • use a documentation standard to avoid missing issues • SQAP and SVVP (see case study for example Adapted from Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective by Eric J. Braude (Wiley 2001), with permission.
