  1. The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge SWEBOK

  2. Chapters • Introduction • Software Requirements • Software Design • Software Construction • Software Testing • Software Maintenance • Software Configuration Management • Software Engineering Management • Software Engineering Process • Software Engineering Tools and Methods • Software Quality

  3. Introduction • Software Engineering is an emerging discipline • Degrees offered in SE • CSAB and ABET accreditation • Canadian IPS accreditation • SEI and ISO standards are used to assess organizations • ACM and IEEE have code of ethics • All of these are based on presumption that there is a body of knowledge that should be mastered by practicing software engineers

  4. Introduction • Guide developed by international team from 1993-2001 • Definition: “Software Engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software.”

  5. Characteristics of a Profession • Initial professional education in a curriculum validated by society through accreditation • Registration of fitness to practice via voluntary certification or mandatory licensing • Specialized skill development and continuing professional education • Communal support via a professional society • A commitment to norms of conduct often prescribed by a code of ethics.

  6. Objectives • Promote a consistent view of software engineering • Clarify the place of software engineering with respect to other disciplines • Characterize the contents of the software engineering discipline • Provide topical access to the body of knowledge • Provide a foundation for curriculum development

  7. Software Requirements • Requirements Engineering Process • Requirements Elicitation • Requirements Analysis • Requirements Specification • Requirements Validation • Requirements Management

  8. Software Design • Basic Concepts • Key Issues of Software Design • Structure and Architecture • Software Design Quality Analysis and Evaluation • Design Notations • Software Design Strategies and Methods

  9. Software Construction • Four principles • reduction of complexity (remove, automate, localize) • anticipation of diversity (change) • structuring for validation • use of external standards • Three styles • linguistic • formal • visual

  10. Software Testing • Basic concepts • Test levels • Test techniques • Test-related measures • Management

  11. Software Maintenance • Basic concepts • Maintenance process • Key issues • Techniques for maintenance

  12. Software Configuration Management • Management of SCM process • Software configuration identification • Software configuration control • Software configuration status accounting • Software configuration auditing • Software release management and delivery

  13. Software Engineering Management • Organizational management • policies: development, dissemination • personnel: hiring, retention, training • communication • Process/project management • negotiation of requirements, feasibility, reviews, planning • Software engineering measurement • size, structure, quality, resources, models

  14. Software Engineering Process • Process infrastructure • Measurements • Process definition • Qualitative process analysis • Process implementation and change

  15. Software Engineering Tools and Methods • Software development environments • Software development methods • heuristic methods • formal methods • prototyping methods • miscellaneous methods

  16. Software Quality • Software quality concepts • Purpose and planning of software quality assurance and V&V • Activities and techniques • SQA • V&V • Measurement applied to SQA and V&V
