A Layered Technology Software Engineering is the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines. The various layers are tools methods process a quality focus Software Engineering asks the following questions What is the problem to be solved? what are the characteristics of the entity that is used to solve the problem? How will the entity and the solution will be realized? How will the entity be constructed? What approach will be used to uncover the errors that were made in the design and construction of the entity? How will the entity be supported over the long term, when corrections,adaptations and enhancements are requested by users of the entity? The Software Process Software Engineering Institute has developed a comprehensive model that is predicated on a set of software engineering capabilities that should be present as an organization reaches dif...

Project Management Concepts Software Project Management Activities Software Project Management Activities span the entire life of the software product, and hence is the primary concern of software engineering. It begins with the initial problem identification and finally ends when the software is retired. Steps involved in Project Management the objective and scope of work to be done the risks to be involved the resources to be required the effort or cost to be expended and  the schedule to be followed  The objectives identify the overall goals of the project, and the scope identifies the primary functions that the software is to accomplish and attempts to specify the bounds to each of the software functions. Risks Risk analysis is critical to Software Project Management. Risk analysis is actually a series of risk management steps that enable us to tackle risk: Risk identification Risk Assessment Risk Prioritization Risk Management strategies Ris...
