Problems and challenges related to distributed computing, distributed systems and distributed algorithms, including: Computational problems that have been studied in a distributed setting. Challenges related to dividing a computational problem into multiple tasks that can be solved in parallel. Challenges related to fault-tolerance and ...
The fundamental theorem of software engineering (FTSE) is a term originated by Andrew Koenig to describe a remark by Butler Lampson [1] attributed to David J. Wheeler: [2] "We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection ."
Software engineering is a field within computer science focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining of software applications.It involves applying engineering principles and computer programming expertise to develop software systems that meet user needs.
In software engineering, the laws of software evolution refer to a series of laws that Lehman and Belady formulated starting in 1974 with respect to software evolution. [1] [2] The laws describe a balance between forces driving new developments on one hand, and forces that slow down progress on the other hand. Over the past decades the laws ...
Dynamic systems development method (DSDM) is an agile project delivery framework, initially used as a software development method. [1] [2] First released in 1994, DSDM originally sought to provide some discipline to the rapid application development (RAD) method. [3]
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to software engineering: Software engineering – application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is the application of engineering to software. [1]
A software development methodology is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the life cycle of a software product. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, agile software development, rapid application development, and extreme programming.
Search-based software engineering is applicable to almost all phases of the software development process. Software testing has been one of the major applications. [9] Search techniques have been applied to other software engineering activities, for instance, requirements analysis, [10] [11] design, [12] [13] refactoring, [14] development, [15 ...
