traditional software metrics which could be applied to object–oriented programming and a set of object–oriented metrics (i.e. those designed specifically for object–oriented programming). Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology‚ managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to software development

Life cycles in Software and Knowledge Engineering : a comparative review. Michael Wilson‚ David Duce Informatics Dept.‚ Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Dan Simpson Dept. of Computer Science‚ Brighton Polytechnic. ABSTRACT Developments in software engineering have led to models of the system life cycle incorporating the use of prototyping and formal methods of program verification. These are becoming supported by integrated project support environments and permit the planning and monitoring

Computer software‚ be it the brain behind our VCR or the program created specifically to run a country’s missile defense system‚ are an absolutely integral part of helping to make our day-to-day lives that much less complicated. But when your blender comes screaming to life in your sleep‚ or your bank somehow “loses” your life savings and says “you only have 37 cents in that account”‚ who is to blame? According to liability laws that have been in question since the birth of what might be considered

Software Metric Software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. Since quantitative measurements are essential in all sciences‚ there is a continuous effort by computer science practitioners and theoreticians to bring similar approaches to software development. The goal is obtaining objective‚ reproducible and quantifiable measurements‚ which may have numerous valuable applications in schedule and budget planning‚ cost estimation‚ quality assurance testing

Chapter 1 – Software and Software Engineering Overview Software is designed and built by software engineers. Software is used by virtually everyone in society. Software is pervasive in our commerce‚ our culture‚ and our everyday lives. Software engineers have a moral obligation to build reliable software that does no harm to other people. Software engineers view computer software‚ as being made up of the programs‚ documents‚ and data required to design and build the system. Software users are

What Is Computer Software? When you think of a computer imagine a machine made of two parts. The first part is the computer hardware‚ the physical parts of the computer that you can actually touch. Some examples of hardware are disks‚ monitors‚ boards‚ chips‚ etc. Hardware does all of the physical work of the computer‚ from memory storage to display. The second part‚ what we call “computer software”‚ acts as the brain of the computer‚ telling the hardware what to do and when and how to do it
