3. Software Engineering Sommerville, Ian (2001) Software Engineering, 6 th edition Ch.1-3, 5 http://www.software-engin.com

4. What is software engineering? Software engineering is an engineering discipline which is concerned with all aspects of software production Software engineers should adopt a systematic and organised approach to their work and use appropriate tools and techniques depending on the problem to be solved, the development constraints and the resources available

5. What is the difference between software engineering and system engineering? System engineering is concerned with all aspects of computer-based systems development including hardware, software and process engineering. Software engineering is part of this process System engineers are involved in system specification, architectural design, integration and deployment

6. What is software? Computer programs and associated documentation Software products may be developed for a particular customer or may be developed for a general market

7. The software process A structured set of activities required to develop a software system Generic activities in all software processes are: –Specification –Design –Validation –Evolution

8. Generic software process models The waterfall model –Separate and distinct phases of specification and development Evolutionary development –Specification and development are interleaved

9. Waterfall model

10. Waterfall model problems Inflexible partitioning of the project into distinct stages This makes it difficult to respond to changing customer requirements Therefore, this model is only appropriate when the requirements are well-understood

11. Evolutionary development Exploratory development –Objective is to work with customers and to evolve a final system from an initial outline specification. Should start with well-understood requirements Throw-away prototyping –Objective is to understand the system requirements. Should start with poorly understood requirements

12. Evolutionary development

13. Problems –Lack of process visibility –Systems are often poorly structured –Special skills (e.g. in languages for rapid prototyping) may be required Applicability –For small or medium-size interactive systems –For parts of large systems (e.g. the user interface) –For short-lifetime systems

14. Incremental development

15. Software Requirements Descriptions and specifications of a system

16. Functional and non-functional requirements Functional requirements Statements of services the system should provide, how the system should react to particular inputs and how the system should behave in particular situations. Non-functional requirements constraints on the services or functions offered by the system such as timing constraints, constraints on the development process, standards, etc.

17. Functional requirements Describe functionality or system services Depend on the type of software, expected users and the type of system where the software is used Functional user requirements may be high-level statements of what the system should do but functional system requirements should describe the system services in detail

18. Non-functional classifications Product requirements Requirements which specify that the delivered product must behave in a particular way e.g. execution speed, reliability, etc. Organisational requirements Requirements which are a consequence of organisational policies and procedures e.g. process standards used, implementation requirements, etc. External requirements Requirements which arise from factors which are external to the system and its development process e.g. interoperability requirements, legislative requirements, etc.

19. Requirements and design In principle, requirements should state what the system should do and the design should describe how it does this In practice, requirements and design are inseparable –A system architecture may be designed to structure the requirements –The system may inter-operate with other systems that generate design requirements –The use of a specific design may be a domain requirement

20. UML General

21. Study Matter Books Fowler & Scott: UML distilled 2nd ed Fowler & Scott: UML beknopt Booch, Rumbauch & Jacobson: The Unified Modeling Language – User Guide Sander Hoogendoorn: Pragmatisch modelleren met UML 2.0 Leffingwell & Widrig: Managing Sofdtware Requirements – a use case approach Web www.omg.org www.popkin.com

22. About UML 1 of 2 UML is the successor to the wave of object- oriented analysis and design (OOA&D) methods. The methods of Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson (de 3 amigo’s) are merged. UML represents the culmination of best practices in practical object- oriented modelling. UML offers a standard way to write a system’s blueprints, including conceptual things such as business processes and system functions as well as database schemas.

23. About UML 2 of 2 UML is a modelling language, a notation used to express and document designs. UML proposes a standard for technical exchange of models and designs. UML also defines a “meta-model”, a diagram that defines the syntax of the UML notation

24. UML Model Views Use Case Modelling –Requirements Use Case diagrams Structural Modelling –Static structure diagrams Class diagrams Object diagrams Behaviour Modelling –State diagrams –Interaction diagrams Sequence diagrams Collaboration diagrams –Activity diagrams Implementation diagrams

25. UML: what we will cover Use case diagrams –Documenting the system’s behaviour from the user’s viewpoint, requirements capture Class diagrams –Describing the type of objects in a system and the static relationships between them Activity diagrams –Describing the sequencing of activities with support for both conditional and parallel behaviour

29. UML steps 1.Examine the necessities of the information system  use cases 2.Object-oriented domain analysis  decomposition of the problem field in concepts, attributes and associations that may be of relevance to the information system

30. Use Case Modelling

31. Use Case Diagram Example

32. Use Case Modelling A use case is a modelling technique used to describe what a new system should do or what an existing system already does. System developers and customers/end-users discuss a use case model. In an iterative process, this lead to a requirement specification on which all agree. A use case diagram describes the interaction between a set of use cases and the actors involved in these use cases.

33. Use Case definition Fowler: A use case is a typical interaction that a user has with a system in order to achieve some goals. A use case is a description of a set of sequence of actions, including variants, that a system performs to yield an observable result of value to an actor. Cockburn: A use case describes a system’s behavior.

34. Actor An actor is someone or something that interacts with the system. It is who or what uses the system. An actor communicates with the system by sending and receiving messages. An actor is a role that a user plays with respect to the system. Actors – what exists outside the system (Rumbaugh) [external “participants”/”roles”]

35. Use cases A use-case is a set of sequences of actions a system performs that yield an observable result of value to a particular actor. A use-case describes a requirement for the system, that is, what it should do, but not how it should do it. A use-case is a set of scenarios tied together by a common user goal.

38. Example Date2date : Secondary UCD Ontleend aan Sander Hoogendoorn

39. Scenario A scenario is a sequence of steps describing an interaction between a user and a system. –A scenario is an instance of a use-case. –A scenario describes a possible interaction with the system.

40. Scenario Example Consider a Web-based on-line store, we might have a ‘Buy a Product’ scenario that would say this : The customer browses the catalogue and adds desired items to the shopping basket. When the customer describes the shipping and credit card information and confirms the sale. The system checks the authorization on the credit card and confirms he sale both immediately and with a follow-up mail.

44. Template of an Use Case Text

45. Steps 1.Define the system boundaries 2.Define actors 3.Define use cases 4.Define scenario’s 5.Describe each use case 6.Identify communal sub-cases

46. Use Case relationships Generalization Include relation Extend relation

47. Generalization Generalization is used when there is one use case similar to another. Inheriting parent behaviour, adding and overriding with the child’s behaviour. Sub use case inherits behaviour and semantics from super use cases.

48. Use Case Diagram Example

49. Example Date2date : Generalization Ontleend aan Sander Hoogendoorn

50. Example Date2date : Include Ontleend aan Sander Hoogendoorn

51. Include / Uses Uses / Include : this relationship is used when there is a common chunck of behaviour across more than one use case. Base use case includes the functionality of included use case.

52. Use Case Diagram Example

53. Extend Extend : is similar to genralization but is used to add behaviour to the base use case at certain extension points. A use case is optionally extended by functionality of another use case.

54. Example Date2date : Extend Ontleend aan Sander Hoogendoorn

55. Relationships between use cases

56. Example Date2date : System boundary & Secondary actor Ontleend aan Sander Hoogendoorn

57. Short Summary

58. What is Use Case modeling? Use Case model: a view of a system that emphasizes the behavior as it appears to outside users. A use case model partitions system functionality into transactions(“use cases’) that are meaningful to users (‘actors’) A Use Case Diagram visualizes a use case model.
