Ian Sommerville's research work, partly funded by the EPSRC [5] has included systems requirements engineering and system evolution. He defined the process of Construction by configuration (CbC). A major focus has been system dependability , including the use of social analysis techniques such as ethnography to better understand how people and ...
IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology [21] "An engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production."—Ian Sommerville [22] "The establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to economically obtain software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines."—Fritz Bauer [23]
[1] [2] Some like software engineer and author Ian Sommerville don't use the term "quality control" (as quality control is often viewed as more a manufacturing term than a software development term), rather, linking its associated concepts with the concept of quality assurance. [3] However, the three core components otherwise remain the same.
The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", [3] but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial [4] in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference ...
Ian Sommerville may refer to: Ian Sommerville (software engineer) (born 1951), British computer scientist and author Ian Sommerville (technician) (1940–1976), British electronics technician and computer programmer
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]
Michael A. Jackson (born 1936) software engineering methodologist responsible for JSP method of program design; JSD method of system development (with John Cameron); and Problem Frames approach for analysing and structuring software development problems. Richard Stallman, created the GNU system utilities and championed free software.
A software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be developed.It is modeled after the business requirements specification.The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user interactions that the software must provide to the user for perfect interaction.
