ABOUT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
 The development of a software product in a planned and
structured process.
 The term software development is often used to refer to the
activity of computer programming, which is the process of
writing and maintaining the source code.
 This software could be produced for a variety of purposes -
specific needs of a specific client/business.
-to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the
case with commercial and open source software).
-for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to
automate a mundane task).
Contrast sw development with real life
world
Larger organisation
-few thousands of lines of code.
-complex
-Tough to fix a bug
Smaller organisation
-few hundred of line of code.
-not complex
-easy to fix the bug
Top – down model (waterfall model)
Top down model
Problem analysis and specification

 Analysis the customer needs.

 Understanding the need of the customer and designing the
products according to their specifications.
Object oriented design

 Identify the objects in the problem specification and their

types.
For example:an example of company where sales and
purchases are done then sales and purchases are objects
 Identify the operations to manipulate the objects .
Data types of the objects

 Simple
 Structured
-arrays
-structures
-class objects
Algorithms

 It is pseudo code
 It should be definite ,simple,finite correct,well structured
 Cannot separate data structures from algorithms
Testing ,execution and debugging

 Check the programs for correctness.

 Checking the program modules according to customer
requirements.
Unit test:
 Each individual program unit to be tested.
Integration test:
 Units to be combined for correctness.
 Componets interface and information flow tested.
 Overall system to be tested .
V - life cycle model
Errors

 Syntax errors
-errors occurred due to spelling mistakes in programming
language.
 Run-time errors
-this happen during program execution.
 Logic errors
-errors in algorithm design.
Functional test

 It is known as black box

 Checking for correctness,for various input .
 The system accepts inputs and produces required output.
Structural test

 Structural test is known as white box

 This test is for internal structure
 Specific parts of the program unit are tested .
maintenance

 Software development cost

 Programmer time
