Among others.

Software Design Project

The software engineer is governed by models or patterns of development which is supported for performing software, there are several models among which is the so - called cascade model, which is the methodology ordering rigorously stages of development of such so that the start of each stage must wait for the completion of the immediately preceding. How I know   shown below:

Analyzes Requirements

As a first step technically defines the requirements of a product * software.

Requirements Specification describes the expected behavior of the software once developed. You must identify the needs of the institution (defined by senior management), as well as interaction with the functional users of it (such as personnel from different departments of the organization that will use the software), to collect, classify, identify, prioritize and specify software requirements, so that these do not remain incomplete, or are ambiguous or contradictory. After l result of analysis of the customer requirements reflected in the document System Requirements Specification.

 

 

* Create System Architecture

 

* Create Software architecture, which is the overall design of this structure, which should contain:

Which parts compose.

What does each component.

How the components interact.

And the general description of how the software application will be built.

 

 

Directs * Programming

During this stage the task is known as programming, which is the creation of computer programs * is performed. This task is performed by the programmer following completely specified in the first stage.

Designing and writing programs primarily in an algorithmic language (sequence of steps for the program) and then translate it to a * computer language is studied.

* Many algorithms are mathematical concepts, hence mathematics is intense in Software Engineering. The use of mathematics in software engineering is called formal methods.

 

 

Oversees Testing

At this stage it is established and applied quality tests is to check that the software correctly perform the tasks outlined in this specification.;   You see under what conditions the application may fail and try to discover their mistakes.

First is tested separately each software module, and then test holistically, to reach the target.

Oversees Documentation

It consists of information regarding how developed the software; It consists of diagrams, testing, user manuals, technical manuals, etc .; all for the purpose of being able to carry out any corrections, knowing its mode of use, we can issue future maintenance and upgrades to the system.

The aim is that the processes described are so clear that any user can understand.

 

 

Oversees Maintenance

  Maintenance consists of keeping updated and   System operation. Either by modifying the software if necessary to meet new requirements, such as extending the system to perform new tasks or changes in user requirements; or   optimization or correction of errors discovered in it.
