What is Software?

 software is not just a program; many things other than the

 program are also included in software.
 1- Program: code itself is definitely included in the software.
 2- Data: The data on which the program operates
 3- Documentation: Another very important thing that most of
 us forget is documentation.

Engineering

 definition of engineering.
 “The process of productive use of scientific knowledge is called
engineering.”
 Or
 “The science concerned with putting scientific knowledge to practical
use.”

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Software Engineering

 the systematic application of scientific and technological

knowledge, methods, and experience to the design,
implementation, testing, and documentation of software.

Software Development Statistics

 50% of contracts had cost overruns

 60% of contracts had schedule overruns

 45% of software contracted could not be used

 29% of software was paid for and never delivered

 22% of software contracted for had to be reworked/modified to be

used

Software Engineering History

 training was unable to provide sufficient methods & techniques for

developing large reliable systems on time & within budget
 By the late 1960’s, digital computers were nearly 20 years old and
already facing a software crisis
 Software Engineering term first emerged as title of a 1968 NATO
conference

Why Software is important?

 Software is everywhere!
 We rely on software to drive our cars and to fly our planes.
 We rely on software to monitor our health, and to administer the
related medications when we are sick.
 We rely on software to manage our banking infrastructure.
 Other uses of software?

Components of software Engineering

 1- Software Development life cycle (SDLC):

 defines the various stages and activities involve in software
development

 2- software Quality assurance (SQA):

 ensuring user satisfaction

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Components of software Engineering

 3- software project management (SPM):

 Development project management
 4- software management (SM) :
 Method and procedure to follow for effective software maintenance
and change control
 5- Computer aided software engineering (case) :
 automated tools that support software development process

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Why is it difficult?

 Key reasons:
 1- Software systems are increasing in complexity, doubling in size by
an order of magnitude.
 2- To keep speed with this growth, the size of the average
development team continues to increase..
3- Software is fundamentally different than other manufactured
products.

Why study software engineering at
university?
 Software engineers will graduate into a marketplace which desperately
needs them. The explosion of big data, apps, and smartphones has
meant that the uniquely talented software engineer is going to be
highly sought after in any business with technology at its heart.
 Even if you choose to pursue a career outside of software engineering,
the skills you collect during your degree will give you a great chance at
entering other sectors.

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Remember !!!

 Software Engineering is required for

 large projects (100,000 lines of code and up)
 multiple subsystems
 teams of developers (often geographically dispersed)
 safety-critical systems (software that can kill people...)

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Different between software engineering
and computer science

 Computer science takes a broad approach to the study of the principles

and use of computers that covers both theory and application.

 Software engineering is a field largely concerned with the application

of engineering processes to the creation, maintenance, and design of
software for a variety of different purposes.

Well-Engineered Software

 Well-engineered software is one that has the following uniqueness.

 1- It is reliable
 2- good user-interface
 3- acceptable performance
 4- good quality
 5- cost-effective

The Balancing Act!

 Software Engineering is actually the balancing act.

 You have to balance many things like Cost, User Friendliness,
Efficiency, Reliability etc.

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

 Important of software Engineering

 1- Efficient Software Development : By following engineering principles,

developers can streamline their work, minimize errors, and deliver
software on time and within budget
 2- Quality Assurance: Through systematic testing and quality assurance
processes, software engineers can detect and fix defects, improving the
reliability, functionality, and performance of software products.
 3- Risk Management: By proactively addressing potential risks, software
engineers can minimize project failures, cost overruns, and schedule
delays.

 Important of software Engineering

 4- Collaboration and Communication: This facilitates better

coordination, understanding, and teamwork, leading to successful
software projects.
 5- Customer Satisfaction: they can deliver products that align with
customer requirements, resulting in higher customer satisfaction.
 6- Compliance and Standards: Software engineering considers all
factors during development, ensuring that software systems meet
legal, ethical, and industry-specific standards

Average Software Engineering Salaries by
Country [2023]

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

Which country has the highest demand
for software engineers?
 Overall, software development is the most in-demand profession in
the world. According to PageGroup, the countries with the highest
demand for software developers are
 1-Canada
 2- Australia
 3- Russia,
 4- Sweden
 5- New Zealand. As there is a shortage of developers, salaries also
tend to be higher.

 CONCLUSION

 Software is a set of code which instruct computer to do something ,

along with data and documentation
 Software is everywhere of our live nowadays
 Creating large , complex and critical software is difficult , so need to
use a disciplined and standard approach which called software
engineering to create it .

Ghalib University : Masoud Bahrah

 EXPECTED OUTCOME
