Software Engineering - ESC501: - Prof. Poulami Dutta

This document discusses software engineering and intended learning outcomes. It defines a software life cycle as a series of stages that a software product undergoes, including feasibility study, requirements, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. It explains that a life cycle model identifies activities, establishes their order, and divides the life cycle into phases. Life cycle models are important because they form a common understanding, help identify issues, and allow tailoring for specific projects.

4 Life Cycle Model
 A software life cycle model (or process model):

 a descriptive and diagrammatic model of software life cycle

 identifies all the activities required for product development,

 establishes a precedence ordering among the different activities,

 divides life cycle into phases.

5 Life Cycle Model (CONT.)

 Several different activities may be carried out in each life cycle phase.

 For example, the design stage might consist of:

 structured analysis activity followed by

 structured design activity.

6 Why Model Life Cycle ?
 A written description:

 forms a common understanding of activities among the software


developers.

 Helps in identifying inconsistencies, redundancies, and omissions in the


development process.

 helps in tailoring a process model for specific projects.

7 Why Model Life Cycle ? (Contd.)

 Processes are tailored for special projects.

 A documented process model

 helps to identify where the tailoring is to occur.
