    SoftwareEngineering Introduction Slide1


    Why Software Engineering?

    Software development is hard !


    Important to distinguish easy systems (one
    developer, one user, experimental use only) from hard
    systems (multiple developers, multiple users, products)

    SoftwareEngineering Introduction Slide2


    Why Software Engineering ?

    The problem is complexity


    Many sources, but size is key:
    UNIX contains 4 million lines of code
    Windows 2000 contains 108 lines of code

    Software engineering is about managing


    this complexity.
    SoftwareEngineering Introduction Slide3
    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
    Software products may be
    Generic - developed to be sold to a range of different
    customers
    Bespoke (custom) - developed for a single customer according
    to their specification
    SoftwareEngineering Introduction Slide4
    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
    use appropriate tools and techniques depending on
    the problem to be solved,
    the development constraints and
    the resources available
