CS451 - Lecture 1 6

Course Objectives

Have a comprehensive picture of software development

Gain hands-on experiences on object oriented development in software engineering.

learn the skill on UML (Unified Modeling Language) and tools (National Rose, Project, etc).

learn object-oriented programming (C#, Java or C++) and Web technologies (XML, .NET ASP, etc)

Understand current trends and requirements of software systems and applications.

CS451 - Lecture 1 7

Assessment

Group Project 40%Individual Work 60%

Midterm Exam:                                         15% Final Exam:                                               20% Paper Presentation & Discussion:              5% In-Class Exercise & Participation:             20%

Both components must be passed in order to pass the course.

CS451 - Lecture 1 8

Projects Team project

Teams of 3-4 members Development of an “entire” system following Agile software

engineering process (feature based planning, Unit testing, etc) and OO techniques (UML)

The overall assignment will be divided into several steps that will be marked individually.

Project proposal       8% Skill building + Plan                   6% Increments (4) 16% Project Report & Presentations    10%

Being late leads to 10 % reduction per day Assignments that are submitted more than three days

late will no longer be accepted.

CS451 - Lecture 1 9

Goal of the Team Assignment

Learning to develop a modular software system within a team following an object oriented methodology

Getting a feeling for the (management) problems in software development

Getting an idea of your own productivityHaving group work experience (work-with-

other)

CS451 - Lecture 1 10

Team Assignment

The software should be developed following basic software engineering principles processes: analysis, design, implementation,

review, and testing phases products: requirements and design documents,

source code, review results, test cases, test results, and productivity metrics

CS451 - Lecture 1 11

Potential Projects

A community partner - developing a software or a database system to track the children in their after school programs.

CS451 - Lecture 1 12

Exams (Tentative Schedule)

Midterm exam: 3/27/06Final examination: Final exam period

Covers the whole coursebut will focus on the second part

CS451 - Lecture 1 13

Paper Presentation

Each student presents one or two papers about 20 minutes sign-up schedule actively involved in discussion

Introduction to Software Engineering

CS451 - Lecture 1 15

What is Software? [Pressman]

Software is a set of items or objects that form a “configuration” that

includes

• programs

• documents

• data ...

CS451 - Lecture 1 16

Software’s Dual Role [Pressman]

Software is a product Delivers computing potential Produces, manages, acquires, modifies, displays, or

transmits information

Software is a vehicle for delivering a product Supports or directly provides system functionality Controls other programs (e.g., an operating system) Effects communications (e.g., networking software) Helps build other software (e.g., software tools)

CS451 - Lecture 1 17

Why Software Engineering?

...to get away from ad hoc and unpredictable software development towards a systematic, understood one...

CS451 - Lecture 1 18

Characteristics of Today’s Software Development

Development of large & complex systemsSoftware systems must fulfill the

requirements of a clientNumber of persons involved in the

development > 1Software systems are expected to live long

and be used by many people

CS451 - Lecture 1 19

What are the Problems?

Increased quality demands on software products High cost and time pressure Shorter time to market Coordination problems within the projects Scarce resources

CS451 - Lecture 1 20

The Software Crisis and Solution

1968: NATO conference in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

software crisis (to characterize the situation)software engineering (idea for a solution)

CS451 - Lecture 1 21

Why still Software Engineering?

Has the software crisis vanished?

No!Software projects still run over time and out

of budgetno break through in quality !!!

[still art instead of engineering discipline]

CS451 - Lecture 1 22

Software Crisis?

Unacceptably low quality of software

Delayed deadlines: Average 1 year

Over cost limits: Average 2X estimate

E.g. Air Force Command and Control system

Initial estimate $1.5million Winner’s bid $0.4 million Actual cost $3.7 million

After deliver?

E.g. U.S Army study of Federal projects Delivered, but not used

47%Paid for, but not delivered

29%Abandoned or reworked

19%Used after changes 3%

Used as delivered 2%

CS451 - Lecture 1 23

Practical Disasters

European Space Agency Ariane 5 Track control system failure results in self

destruction

Denver Airport Late delivery of software for the baggage system

delays the opening of the airport by 16 months US study (1995): 81 billion US$ spend per

year for failing software development projects

CS451 - Lecture 1 24

Why is Software so Hard?

Software is [Parnas, 1985]: Buggy Unreliable Forever changing Unwarrantable

CS451 - Lecture 1 25

Legacy Software

• Why must it change?software must be adapted to meet the needs

of new computing environments or technology.

software must be enhanced to implement new business requirements.

software must be extended to make it interoperable with other more modern systems or databases.

software must be re-architected to make it viable within a network environment.

CS451 - Lecture 1 26

Management Myths

State-of-the-art tools are the solution A fool with a tool is still a fool

Getting behind schedule resolved by hiring additional programmers “adding people to a late software project makes it

later”

CS451 - Lecture 1 27

Management myths

CS451 - Lecture 1 28

Customer Myths

A general statement of objectives is sufficient to begin writing programs - we can fill in details later. Thorough communication between customer and

developer needed

Changes can be easily accommodated because software is flexible changes happen as a fact of life late changes are expensive

CS451 - Lecture 1 30

Practitioner’s Myths

Once we write a program and get it to work, our job is done 50-70% of all effort after first delivery

Until I get the program “running”, I really have no way in assessing its quality inspections & reviews

The only deliverable for a successful project is the working program documentation (users, maintenance)

CS451 - Lecture 1 31

Definition: Software Engineering

Software Engineering: (1) The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software. (2) The study of approaches as in (1) [IEEE-93]
