Software and Software Engineering

1
• Software engineering as “The establishment and use of
sound engineering principles in order to obtain
economically software that is reliable and works
efficiently on real time machines”
--- Fritz
Bauer

• The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable


approach to the development, operation and maintenance
of software; that is the application of engineering to
software.
--- IEEE 2

Software Application Domains
i.System Software:
It is a collection of program written to service other programs
 System software processes Complex, but determinate information
structures
Ex: Compilers, Editors and File Management utilities
Software is determinate – If the order and timing of inputs,
processing and outputs can be predicted in advance.
Other system applications processes largely indeterminate data.
Ex: OS, Components, Drivers, Networking software and
telecommunications processes.
 Software is Indeterminate – If the order and timing of inputs,
processing and outputs cannot be predicted in advance.
6
ii. Application Software:
Stand-alone programs that solve a specific business need.
Applications in this area process business/technical data in a way
that facilitates business operations or management / technical data
decision making.
Application software is sued to control business functions in real
time.
Ex: Point-of-Sale transaction processing

7
iii. Engineering/ Scientific Software:
Engineering problems and quantitative analysis are carried out
using automated tools.
Scientific software is typically used to solve mathematical
functions and calculations
Ex: Computer Aided design(CAD)
Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAM)

8
iv. Embedded Software:
Embedded software is a type of software that is built into hardware
systems.
Embedded software resides within a product / system and is used
to implement and control features and functions for the end user and
for the system itself.
Ex: Keypad control for Microwave Oven
Digital functions in an automotive such as fuel control, breaking
systems

9
V. Product-Line- Software:
 Product-Line- Software is a set of software intensive systems
share a common ,managed set of features to satisfy needs of a
particular market segment.
 Some common applications are multimedia. Database software
and word processing software etc.,

10
Vi. Web Software:
Web applications are based on Client server architecture, where
the client request information and the server stores and retrieves
information from the web software.
Ex: HTML 5.0,ASP,PHP etc.,

Vii.AI Software:
AI software is made to think like human beings and therefore it is
useful in solving complex problems automatically.
Ex: Game playing, Speech recognition, Expert Systems and
Robotics.
