In what year was the term software engineering coined by a NATO study group? - 1967
Why is so much of today's software not considered to have been engineered? -
What is the life cycle of software engineering? - A life-cycle model is a description of the
steps that should be performed when building a software product.
What is the relationship between computer science and software engineering? -
Name some of the problems resulting from team programming. - Interfacing problems
(communication between code components)
Unless the team is properly organized, much time can be wasted in conferences
between team members.
Why is there no planning phase, testing phase, and documentation phase during
software development? - Planning: Until it is known exactly what is to be developed,
there is no accurate, detailed plan that can be drawn up.
Planning is carried out all throughout the software development lifecycle.
Testing: If testing is treated as a separate (testing) phase, there is a very real danger
that testing will not be carried out constantly throughout every phase of the product
development and maintenance process.
Documentation: we must always ensure the documentation of a software product must
be complete, correct, and up to date. 1. Large turnover rate in the software industry. 2. It
is almost impossible to perform the steps of a specific phase unless the documentation
of the previous phase is complete, correct, and up to date. 3. It is virtually impossible to
test whether a software product is working correctly unless documents are available to
state how that software product is supposed to behave. 4. Maintenance is almost
impossible unless there is a complete and correct set of documentation that describes
precisely what the current version of the product does.

What are the advantages of the object-oriented paradigm? - It is an integrated approach
which is far smoother to transfer from workflow to workflow unlike the classical
approach. This reduces the number of faults introduced during development.
What are the major differences between the structured paradigm and the object-
oriented paradigm? - - Information Hiding with Object Oriented
- Post delivery maintenance easier with OO
- Development is easier with OO
Software - the machine-readable code, the specification document, the design
document, legal and accounting documents of all kinds, the software project
management plan, and other management documents as well as all types of manuals.
Program - an autonomous piece of code, generally in the form of a deck of punched
cards that could be executed.
System - a system was a related collection of programs.
Product - a nontrivial piece of software.
Software Production - the way we produce software, and the end process is termed a
product.
Methodology - a way of developing a software product.
Paradigm - a style of software development.
Bug - a euphemism for a fault. When a programmer makes a mistake, the consequence
of that mistake is a fault in the code.
