1. Define Software Engineering and Why It Is Needed (5 Marks)

Definition

Software Engineering is the systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. It applies engineering principles to produce reliable, efficient, and high-quality software.

Why It Is Needed

  • Increasing complexity: Modern software is large and complex. Software engineering ensures proper structure and manageable development.
  • Quality assurance: Ensures software is reliable,

Generic Software Framework and Process Flows

A generic software framework consists of five core framework activities: communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment. These are supported by umbrella activities, including project tracking and controlling, risk management, quality assurance, and technical reviews.

The process flow describes how these activities are organized. Common flows include:

  • Linear flow: Sequential execution of activities.
  • Iterative process flow: Repeating activities

1. Software Requirements Engineering and SRS

Definition: Requirements Engineering (RE) is the systematic process of eliciting, analyzing, specifying, validating, and managing software requirements.

Software Requirements Specification (SRS): A formal document stating what the system shall do (functional requirements) and the constraints or quality expectations (non-functional requirements).

The RE Process Model

Stakeholders → Elicitation → Analysis/Negotiation → Specification (SRS) → Validation
