1. Software Production 0721330 1 (0721330) First Semester 2011/2012 Dr. Samer Odeh Hanna (PhD) http://philadelphia.edu.jo/academics/shanna

2. Software Production 0721330 2 Course Objectives  This course provides students with an overall context in which software systems are developed from the viewpoint of processes that support the development.  Software engineering is described as the set of activities developers engage in to create high-quality products within schedule and budget constraints.

3. Software Production 0721330 3 Specific Objectives  Understand the theoretical basis for process improvement efforts.  Compare specific processes

4. Software Production 0721330 4 Objectives Actual Core Processes Process Improvement Frameworks Process Models Making Things Better Knowing What we Are doing In first place

7. Software Production 0721330 7 Requirements Software What we intend

8. Software Production 0721330 8 How it should go Requirements Analysis Implementation Design Testing Delivery and Installation

9. Software Production 0721330 9 Inherent Problems with Software Development  Requirements are complex  The client does not know the functional requirements in advance  Requirements may be changing  Technology enablers introduce new possibilities to deal with requirements  Frequent changes are difficult to manage  There is more than one software system  New system must be backward compatible with existing system (“legacy system”)  This leads us to software life cycle modeling

10. Software Production 0721330 10 Definitions  Software lifecycle modeling: Attempt to deal with complexity and change  Software lifecycle:  Set of activities and their relationships to each other to support the development of a software system

11. Software Production 0721330 11 Identifying Software Development Activities  For finding activities and dependencies we can use the same modeling techniques when modeling a system such as creating scenarios, use case models, object identification, drawing class diagrams, activity diagrams  Questions to ask:  What is the problem?  What is the solution?  What are the mechanisms that best implement the solution?  How is the solution constructed?  Is the problem solved?  Can the customer use the solution?  How do we deal with changes that occur during the development? Are enhancements needed?

16. Software Production 0721330 16 What is a process?  A group of homogeneous tasks that are related together in which an outcome can be identified.  People, equipment, input, methods, and environment that work together to produce output.  The set of activities, methods, and practices that are used in the production and evolution of software.  Set of activities, organized in steps, in order to transform users needs into operational software.  Steps, partially ordered, are in interaction and aim to achieve a goal.
