In this paper, it is discussed that there are many laws related to the software engineering but only few of them are to be addressed. Boehm first and second law, Conway’s laws, Parnas laws & Corbato law were discussed with examples. There are two relationship processes that are also discussed, related to the software Engineering. Law method and tools which are depended on each other and they are performing the task with the help of principle and process by following the rules. Same scenario is followed in other relation too, where observation, law and theory are depended on each other. Observation is repeatable to law and law is explained by theory. Theory should be confirmed by the law and it predict by the observation before further proceeding. Introduction Question No 1 Boehm's First Law Errors are more regular in the middle of fundamentals and configuration exercises and are more abundant when they are displaced. In this law, some basic configuration errors do outnumber code blunders. However, cost stays smooth...

...Software Quality Assurance Software quality assurance Software quality assurance, often referred to in the industry as "software testing" or "QA testing" consists of thoroughly testing every aspect of a software project to ensure that: 1. It functions as intended and does not contain errors 2. It complies with the previously established development guidelines As the interactive software industry grows, software quality assurance has become more and more complicated. Many offshoots have arisen and considerably complicated the software testing jargon: security testing, unit testing, usability testing, load testing, scripted testing, compatibility testing, etc. In the end, what software quality assurance is all about is making sure that your software product works seamlessly for all your users. While we may expand into other areas in the future, we at the Crowdsourced Testing company specialize in one particular type of testing known as functional testing. The sad reality of software quality assurance The unfortunate reality of the software development industry is that testing is often neglected because development companies are under a tremendous amount of pressure to deliver their projects faster and faster. Furthermore, software programming is a complex endeavor and it is very difficult to know ahead of time exactly how much time will be needed to develop a particular project. What usually ends up happening is that programmers work until the very last minute available...

...Robert P. Ward Software Engineering in the Small Smaller-sized software companies are developing significant products that need effective, tailored software engineering practices. n 1968, the NATO Software Engineering Conference in Garmisch, Germany [6] initiated the concept of software engineering, identifying the problems with producing large, high-quality software applications. In 1975, De Remer [2] introduced the terms, “programming in the small” and “programming in the large” to differentiate the development characteristics of large-scale software development from detailed programming (for example, data structures and algorithms). The principal source of large-scale software at the time was development contracts issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. Since then, virtually all software engineering literature has concentrated explicitly and implicitly on the model of DoD contract software development. Since the late 1970s, the microcomputer revolution has dramatically increased the quantity of software produced, the average I size of programs, and the number of companies involved in software development. Much more software is produced for internal use, commercial applications, and the mass-market than for deep-pocketed government and large industry. Using the number of units sold, mass-market software dwarfs the other forms of software sales. The growth of the software industry has produced many small companies that do not do contract software, but rather compete...

...Ariel M. Vasquez November 24, 2014 CIS331 System Modeling Theory Professor Randy Arvay Software System Architecture For this case the question is asked which system would be best to implement for this case. There are several different types of cases to chose from. They all with their own particular benefits and negatives at the same time The one that fits this needs in particular would be the event driven system. What is an event driven architecture system? An event driven architecture, or EDA for short, is a pattern that focuses on promoting production, detection, and consumption. Most of its works occur during an event. In the medical field, which this case revolves around, have thing change a lot during the course of not only a day even within every hour this change. Whether it's from a patient's medical records, stock of inventory, medicines provided to a patient, and even when a patient enters and exits the hospital. With a system like EDA thing will only occur when things change and this pattern seems to be able to handle those changes better than the others. The following image will show basically how this type of system will work. A system that integrates EDA may also provide a higher level of service to help with the implementation of EDA. Things like security, reliable messaging, content based routing, and mapping and transformation. The security that this provides is message encryption, authentication, and access control. With the messaging this provides...

...Hardware and Software Your Name Date Class Name Teacher’s name The system that best resembles the hardware and software used at the nursing home located in PA that I used to work for is the Power Macintosh 9500. According to Wikipedia.org, the system was sold between 1995 through 1997 and has the following hardware installed, “It was powered by a PowerPC 604processor, a second-generation PowerPC chip which was faster than the earlier PowerPC 601 chip. The 180MP and 200 used the enhanced PowerPC 604e processor. The CPU was connected via a daughterboard, and so could be swapped easily. Available were single-processor cards ranging from 120 to 200 MHz, and a dual processor card with two 180 MHz CPUs. It was the first Macintosh to use the PCI standard, with six PCI slots available, with one always needed for the graphics card.” The exact breakdown of system hardware can be seen at the Apple website at the following link, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP492. The overall operations of the system are great for its age and can even be enhanced with a new program entitled “Leopard” (also available from Apple) that could help the overall performance of the system and was actually the oldest model that is compatible with that program. As for the software, we all know that there are significant differences between workgroup, personal, and enterprise uses such differences can be seen with the different programs each use has to offer, some examples of the differences are business...

...Computer software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Software" redirects here. For other uses, see Software (disambiguation). Computer software, or just software, is a collection of computer programs and related data that provide the instructions for telling a computer what to do and how to do it. In other words, software is a conceptual entity which is a set of computer programs, procedures, and associated documentation concerned with the operation of a data processing system. We can also say software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some purposes. In other words software is a set of programs, procedures, algorithms and its documentation. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical devices). In contrast to hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be touched".[1] Software is also sometimes used in a more narrow sense, meaning application software only. Sometimes the term includes data that has not traditionally been associated with computers, such as film, tapes, and records.[2] Examples of computer software include: * Application software includes end-user applications of computers such as word processors or video games, and ERP software for groups of...
