Grading Criteria
<Note to Instructor: These grading criteria currently used by
the authors for a one semester course with a mid-term
and a final. They most probably not reusable for your
course, but they may give you an idea>
The final grade is the weighted average of the mid term
(30%) and final grades (70%)
• To pass this course your final grade must be D or better
• Participation in the exercises is required (admission
requirement for the final exam)
• Information about the exercises will be made available on
the exercise portal
• Hours per week: 3 hours (lecture) + 2 hour (exercises)
• ECTS Credits: 6.0.

Focus: Acquire Technical Knowledge
• Different methodologies (“philosophies”) to
model and develop software systems
• Different modeling notations
• Different modeling methods
• Different software lifecycle models (empirical
control models, defined control models)
• Different testing techniques (eg. vertical testing,
horizontal testing)
• Rationale Management
• Release and Configuration Management

Why is Software Development difficult?
• The problem is usually ambiguous
• The requirements are usually unclear and changing
when they become clearer
• The problem domain (called application domain) is
complex, and so is the solution domain
• The development process is difficult to manage
• Software offers extreme flexibility
• Software is a discrete system
• Continuous systems have no hidden surprises
• Discrete systems can have hidden surprises! (Parnas)
David Lorge Parnas - an early pioneer in
software engineering who developed the
concepts of modularity and information hiding
in systems which are the foundation of
object oriented methodologies.

Software Development is more than just
Writing Code
• It is problem solving
• Understanding a problem
• Proposing a solution and plan
• Engineering a system based on the
proposed solution using a good design
• It is about dealing with complexity
• Creating abstractions and models
• Notations for abstractions
• It is knowledge management
• Elicitation, analysis, design, validation of
the system and the solution process
• It is rationale management
• Making the design and development
decisions explicit to all stakeholders
involved.

Can we not use the Scientific Method?
• Not exactly, we need ideas and hypotheses
• The scientific method, unfortunately, has never quite
gotten around to saying exactly where to pick up these
hypotheses.
• The traditional scientific method has always been
at the very best, 20-20 hindsight
• It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for
testing of what you think you know
• But it can't tell you where you should to go
• Creativity, originality, inventiveness, intuition,
imagination – "unstuckness," in other words – are
completely outside the domain of the scientific
method

Bantam Books, 1984.

Techniques, Methodologies and Tools
• Techniques:
• Formal procedures for producing results using
some well-defined notation
• Methodologies:
• Collection of techniques applied across
software development and unified by a
philosophical approach
• Tools:
• Instruments or automated systems to
accomplish a technique
• Interactive Development Environment (IDE)
• Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE)

Computer Science vs. Engineering
• Computer Scientist
• Assumes techniques and tools have to be developed.
• Proves theorems about algorithms, designs languages,
defines knowledge representation schemes
• Has infinite time…
• Engineer
• Develops a solution for a problem formulated by a client
• Uses computers & languages, techniques and tools
• Software Engineer
• Works in multiple application domains
• Has only 3 months...
• …while changes occurs in the problem formulation
(requirements) and also in the available technology.

Software Engineering: A Working
Definition
Software Engineering is a collection of techniques,
methodologies and tools that help with the
production of
A high quality software system developed with a
given budget before a given deadline
while change occurs
Challenge: Dealing with complexity and
change

Software Engineering:
A Problem Solving Activity
• Analysis:
• Understand the nature of the problem and break the
problem into pieces
• Synthesis:
• Put the pieces together into a large structure
For problem solving we use techniques,
methodologies and tools.
