Notes with worthy tutorials
Key Process Areas (KPAs): The KPAs describe those software engineering functions that must be present to satisfy good practice at a particular level. Each KPA is described by identifying the following characteristics: 01. Goals: Goal is the target of a project or the overall objectives that the KPA must achieved. 02. Commitments: Requirements that must be met … Read more
Software development is totally a layered technology. Therefore, to develop software one will have to go from one layer to another. The layers are related and each layer demands the fulfillment of the previous layer.
A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. Software development is a detailed process. It includes many steps which is dependent on the software to develop. Also different software process models has different steps and approaches. But the main steps of a software development process are common.
Software, by definition, is a collection of computer programs, procedures and documentation that performs different tasks on a computer system. There are many types of software. This is increasing with the development of technology. Some of these types are described below.
It is often said that Software is engineered or developed but not manufactured. Some similarities exists between software development and hardware manufacturing. But these two activities are fundamentally different. Software is a design of strategies, instructions. These instructions finally perform the targeted tasks. And a design can only be developed, not manufactured. On the other hand, design is just a material of hardware.
Software is the single most important technology on the world stage. The category of software is huge where categories may have subcategories. And this is because, software is in use in almost every aspects of human life. Everywhere we go we will find a reason or necessity to have software there. Among many reasons/targets or importance of software development, few are as follows
When something is no longer of any use, it reaches the “wear out” state. That is, it cannot perform the function it was built for. For example, a printer reaches “wear out” state it can’t print anymore. This doesn’t include the recycling options. One makes use of a dead printer to do anything else but printing.
By definition, is a collection of computer programs, procedures and documentation that performs different tasks on a computer system. Software can specify the processors instruction through which the processor can change the state of computer hardware in a predefined sequence. Briefly, computer software is a language in which computer speaks.
