------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What is Software Engineering?
Date: 11 Jul 2002

I'm not entirely happy with definitions, but here is one:
* *IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary*, 610, ISBN 1-55937-079-3, 1990:
The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to
development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the
application of engineering to software.

Textbooks tend not to give definitions, but instead spend their introductory chapters explaining characteristics of the discipline. Interesting phrases include:
* Ian Sommerville, *Software Engineering*, 5th edition, Addison-Wesley,
1996.
The specification, development, management, and evolution of software
systems. Not constrained by materials governed by physical laws or
manufacturing processes. Theories, methods, and tools needed to develop
software. Evolving models of the real world.
* Stephen R. Schach, *Software Engineering*, 2nd Edition, Richard D.Irwin,
Inc. and Aksen Associates, 1993.
A discipline whose aim is the production of quality software, delivered
on time, within budget, and satisfying users' needs.
* Shari Lawrence Pfleeger, *Software Engineering: the Production of Quality
Software*, 2nd Edition, Macmillan, 1991, ISBN 0-02-395115-X.
Designing and developing high-quality software. Application of computer
science techniques to a variety of problems. We are problem-solvers
rather that theoreticians.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What's a CASE Tool?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Archive file: casemsg (thanks to Scott McGregor <mcgregor@netcom.com> for inspiring this question)

CASE stands for Computer Aided Software Engineering; it can be used to mean any computer-based tool for software planning, development, and evolution. Various people regularly call the following 'CASE': Structured Analysis (SA), Structured Design (SD), Editors, Compilers, Debuggers, Edit-Compile-Debug environments, Code Generators, Documentation Generators, Configuration Management, Release Management, Project Management, Scheduling, Tracking, Requirements Tracing, Change Management (CM), Defect Tracking, Structured Discourse, Documentation editing, Collaboration tools, Access Control, Integrated Project Support Environments (IPSEs), Intertool message systems, Reverse Engineering, Metric Analyzers.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What's a 'function point'?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Archive file: funcpoints

Function points and feature points are methods of estimating the "amount of functionality" required for a program, and are thus used to estimate project completion time. The basic idea involves counting inputs, outputs, and other features of a description of functionality. Bruno Peeters has collected a biblography on function points at http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/Software- Engineering/funcpoints.html.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What's the 'spiral model'?
Date: 10 Oct 1998
Archive file: spiral

(1) Barry Boehm, "A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement",
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, August 1986.
(2) Barry Boehm "A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement"
IEEE Computer, vol.21, #5, May 1988, pp 61-72.

Basically, the idea is evolutionary development, using the waterfall model for each step; it's intended to help manage risks. Don't define in detail the entire system at first. The developers should only define the highest
priority features. Define and implement those, then get feedback from users/customers (such feedback distinguishes "evolutionary" from "incremental" development). With this knowledge, they should then go back to define and implement more features in smaller chunks.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What is a 'specmark'?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Archive file: specmark

The SPECmark is the geometric mean of a series of benchmarks done by the SPEC group. There are a couple of suites, but in general SPECmark refers to the results of the first suite. The suite includes FORTRAN and C codes, mostly well known codes but slightly hacked versions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Where can I find a public-domain tool to compute metrics?
Date: 11 Jul 2002
Archive file: static.html

Christopher Lott has a collection of metrics tools for C programs at http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/cml/resources/cmetrics/.

Volume 20 of newsgroup comp.sources.unix contained a public-domain package called "metrics", which computes McCabe and Halstead metrics. There are many comp.sources.unix archives around the net.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What metrics are there for object-oriented systems?
Date: 24 Feb 1998

The Empirical Software Engineering Research Group at Bournemouth University maintains a bibliography on OO metrics at http://dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ESERG/bibliography.html, originally maintained by Robin Whitty of South Bank University.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: How do I write good C style?
Date: 11 Jul 2002

This is answered regularly in the comp.lang.c FAQ. See Christopher Lott's list of C and C++ style guides at
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/cml/resources/cstyle/.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What is 'Hungarian Notation'?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Archive file: hungarian

A naming convention for C code. See Charles Simonyi and Martin Heller, "The Hungarian Revolution", BYTE, Aug. 1991 (vol. 16, no. 8). There are other naming conventions; see, e.g. "A Guide to Natural Naming", Daniel Keller, ETH, Projekt-Zentrum IDA, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland. Published in SIGPLAN Notices, Vol. 25, No. 5, pages 95-102.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Are lines-of-code (LOC) a useful productivity measure?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Archive file: static.html

Not unless you are very careful. Capers Jones' book has a detailed and insightful discussion of Lines of Code, including anomalies, and shows how to use it sensibly (eg in a single job shop, with a single language, and a standard company coding style). It is easy to cook up anomalies where LOC gives different numbers for code written in different styles, but pathological cases should get caught in code inspections. References:
- T. Capers Jones, Programming Productivity, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1986
- Capers Jones, Applied Software Measurement: Assuring Productivity and
Quality, McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1991, 494 pages ISBN 0-07-032813-7

The appendices of the latter give rules for counting procedural source code,
as well as rules for counting function points and feature points. The following study, cited in Boehm's _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _E_n_g_i_n_e_e_r_i_n_g _E_c_o_n_o_m_i_c_s, claims that
anomalies that seriously "fool" the LOC metric show up rarely in real code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Should software professionals be licenced/certified?
Date: 24 Feb 1998

This is a very controversial and political question. Generally, certification is something voluntary, while licencing is regulated by governments. Certification generally means some agency warrants you meet its standards; licencing generally means that to claim to practice a certain profession requires a government licence, often administered through a professional organization. In theory both are supposed to help judge if someone is capable of doing certain jobs.

Licencing isn't currently required for computing professionals; some people would like to see some jobs require it, as with established branches of engineering. Others don't like government intervention, and/or believe many people who wouldn't get licenced are perfectly competent.

Computing professionals in the USA have had a certification program for years, administered by the Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals (708-299-4227), a meta-organization with representatives from ACM, IEEE-CS, ADAPSO, ICCA, IACE, AIM, DPMA, AISP, COMMON, ASM, CIPS, and AWC. There are three certificates aimed at different broad types of practitioner, and many areas of specialization. To keep a certificate requires at least 40 hours of continuing education each year; credit can also be obtained for self-study, teaching, publication, etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What is the SEI maturity model?
Date: 24 Feb 1998
Originally-From: mcp@sei.cmu.edu (Mark Paulk)
Archive file: maturity

Maturity is not an easy concept to get down to a single paragraph, but
consider this.

Premise: The quality of a software system is largely governed by the quality of the process used to develop and maintain the software. Basics: The first step in improving the existing situation is to get management buy-in and management action to clean up the software management processes (walk the
talk, as TQMers frequently say). Integration: The second step is to get everyone working together as a team. Measurement: The third step is to establish objective ways of understanding status and predict where things are going in your process. Continuous improvement: Understand that this is building a foundation for continually getting better.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Where can I get information on API?
Date: 24 Feb 1998

API stands for Application Programming Interface. For a useful subset of standard APIs that NIST considers relevant to US Federal government needs, you can look at NIST SP 500-187 "Application Portability Profile" (available using the World-Wide Web via URL http://nemo.ncsl.nist.gov/app-ose/), or send mail
to mail-server@nemo.ncsl.nist.gov with
send app-ose/app2.txt
in the body, or contact Barbara Blickenstaff, 301-975-2816. Many of the open systems APIs are being developed in the IEEE POSIX groups. An article in the Dec. 1991 IEEE Spectrum describes these and related API standards. IEEE standards aren't distributed electronically, but both of the documents above tell how to obtain copies.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: What's a 'bug'?
Date: 24 Feb 1998

You can take your pick:
(1) Don't use "bug", use "fault" (an incorrect instruction or definition),
"failure" (an incorrect result), or "mistake" (a human action leading

_T_e_s_t_i_n_g _T_e_c_h_n_i_q_u_e_s says (paraphrased):
I'm sticking with "bug" because everyone knows what it means,
there are several "standards" for other terms that are incon­
sistent with each other, the OED says that the conventional
computer meaning of "bug" is ancient, and short Anglo-Saxon
words are preferable to long Norman ones.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Where can I get copies of standards??
Date: 16 Jun 1998

ISO, ANSI, and IEEE standards are usually sold to raise some of the funds
that the various national and international standards bodies (who usually
own the copyright) need to keep afloat; thus they are not normally avail­
able electronically. Also, the organizations are concerned that electron­
ic copies would make it too easy for people to disseminate doctored ver­
sions of the standards.

Some IEEE standards are available by annual electronic subscription; see http://standards.ieee.org/catalog/olis/ (available using the World-Wide
Web via URL http://standards.ieee.org/catalog/olis/)

ISO standards may be purchased from:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Textbooks
Date: 6 Dec 1997
Originally collected by: hsrender@happy.colorado.edu (Hal Render)
The first 8 items are Hal Render's original list in his rough order of prefer­ ence.

1. Software Engineering: The Production of Quality Software by Shari Pfleeger,
2nd Edition, Macmillan, 1991, ISBN 0-02-395115-X.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #2&#3, had the best explanations of what
I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods, and tools).
2. Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach by Roger Pressman, 4th
Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1996, ISBN 0070521824
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: (on 2nd edition): Like #1&#3, had the best
explanations of what I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles,
methods, and tools).
robb@iotek.uucp (Robb Swanson): The definitive book on the subject as far
as I'm concerned.
johnson@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu (Michelle Johnson): A good text book as well as
reference.
3. Software Systems Engineering by Andrew Sage and James D. Palmer.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #1&#2, had the best explanations of what
I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods, and tools). 4. Fundamentals of Software Engineering by Ghezzi, Jayazeri and Mandrioli,
Prentice-Hall, 1991
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #5, good, and covered the issue of
specifications and verification better, but at the expense of other
aspects of the development process. I may use one of them for a graduate
course in software engineering.
nancy@murphy.ICS.UCI.EDU (Nancy Leveson): Better than Sommerville, although
I like much of Sommerville.
5. Software Engineering with Abstractions by Valdis Berzins and Luqi, Addison
Wesley, 1991, 624 pages.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #4, good, and covered the issue
of specifications and verification better, but at the expense of other
aspects of the development process. I may use one of them for a graduate
course in software engineering.
straub@cs.UMD.EDU (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #9 have a good emphasis
on using formal techniques (i.e., doing engineering properly), but they
do not disregard informal methods; chapters are roughly organized around
the traditional lifecycle. #5 is longer and can be used in a two-term
sequence or for graduate students (it's possible to use it in a one-
term undergrad course by covering only part of the material). One thing I
like is that management and validation is given in all chapters, so that
these activities are integrated into the development process. Emphasizes
the use of formally specified abstractions. Uses the authors'
specification language (Spec) to develop a project in Ada.
6. Software Engineering by Ian Sommerville, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-17568-1
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Our current text, and my basic problem with it
is the vague way it covers many of the topics.
7. Software Engineering with Student Project Guidance by Barbara Mynatt
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #8, not bad, but fairly low-level and
doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
8. Software Engineering by Roger Jones
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #7, not bad, but fairly low-level and
doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
9. Software Engineering: Planning for Change by David Alex Lamb, Prentice-
Hall, 1988, 298 pages.
straub@cs.UMD.EDU (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #5 have a good emphasis
on using formal techniques (i.e., doing engineering properly), but they
do not disregard informal methods; chapters are roughly organized around
the traditional lifecycle. #9 has the advantage of being shorter, yet
covering most relevant topics (lifecycle phases, formal specs, v&v,
configurations, management, etc.). It is very appropriate for an
undergrad course. It emphasizes that maintenance is a given and should
be taken into account (hence the title). Several specification
techniques are covered and used to develop a project in Pascal.
10. A Practical Handbook for Software Development by N.D. Birrell and M.A.
Ould, Cambridge University Press, 1985/88. ISBN 0-521-34792-0 (Paper
cover); ISBN 0-521-25462-0 (Hard cover).
ewoods@hemel.bull.co.uk (Eoin Woods):
11. Fundamentals of Computing for Software Engineers by Eric S. Chan & Murat M.
Tanik, Van Nostrand Reinhold.
kayaalp@csvax.seas.smu.edu (Mehmet M. Kayaalp MD):
12. Classic and Object-Oriented Software Engineering, 3rd Edition, by Stephen
R. Schach, Richard D. Irwin, Inc. (ISBN 0-256-18298-1), 1996. Advertised
as senior/first year graduate level, emphasizing the object-oriented
paradigm, metrics, CASE tools, testing, and maintenance.
13. Practical Software Engineering by Stephen R. Schach, Aksen Associates and
Richard D. Irwin Inc. (ISBN 0-256-11455-2), 1992. Advertised as sophomore
through senior level, emphasizing teams, maintenance, reuse, CASE tools.

They do regular reviews of most of the literature relevant to testing, s-eng, and management. The books which are deemed useful by the reviewers are purchased for reselling. Their catalog includes most of the literature that I've come across on Software Testing. One of the items in the catalog is a publication which the company puts together itself, The Testing Tools
Reference Guide, a sort of catalog of tools that have passed certain criteria, (number of unit sold, at least three verifiable references, etc.) They charge $145.00 for this guide. This includes two bi-annual updates. I've found the guide very useful in tracking down vendors which specialize in CASE and
testing tools, although it seems to be heavily biased towards IBM mainframe hardware and COBOL programming (shudder!). Each text is described and summarized I'm sure SQE would be happy to send catalogs free of charge and
most of the prices seem reasonable. - Glenn Stowe glenn8@odie.cs.mun.ca

This is a list of contact information for CASE tool vendors, maintained at the Software Technology Laboratory, Department of Computing and Information Science, Queen's University.

It was originally compiled by Scott Marcus and Theo Heavey, formerly
of the CASE Research group, Dept. of Computer Science, Florida
Atlantic University; under the Florida Industry High Technology
Council, and funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
After they lost their funding for this list in 1991, the only way
we've been able to keep it up to date is if people volunteer to tell
us what needs to change.

There is a reference model of end-user services for software engineering environments (e.g., requirements, design, code, test, tracing, planning, publications, plus about 50 others) called the Project Support Environment Reference Model that was developed by the PSESWG (Project Support Environment Standards Working Group). It is also a NIST special publication, SSP 500-213, and is also available via anonymous FTP to site nemo.ncsl.nist.gov as pub/isee/publications/sp.500-213.ps.Z.

Brad Myers (Brad.Myers@cs.cmu.edu) maintains a list of user interface software tools (available using the World-Wide Web via URL http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/bam/www/toolnames.html), which are tools that can help to create the user interface part of the software.

There is a Hypercard stack that you can get by anonymous FTP from the info- mac/card directory at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. The version 1.1 runs under various Hypercard versions including 2.0v2 on newer Macs:

Berard Object & Class Specifier (BOCS) by Berard Software Engineering (see
vendor list).
BOCS is an object-oriented analysis and design CASE tool for developing
models of software & business systems and their underlying objects
(classes, parameterized classes, and instances of classes). BOCS is used
to create programming language independant specifications, then
automatically generate formatted documentation combining text and graphics
into popular publishing packages. BOCS also provides code generation for
C++ and Smalltalk. The traceability tool allows users to trace
requirements to design and code. BOCS runs on Microsoft Windows 3.1 (TM).
$595 per copy. - [russ@bse.com (Russell Hopler)]

Bridgepoint by Project Technology, Inc. (see vendor list).
The BridgePoint tool suite is an integrated set of automation tools
specifically designed to support the Shlaer-Mellor Method of Object-
Oriented Analysis and Recursive Design through a detailed understanding of
the underlying formalism. The Model Builder allows easy capture of a
complete set of integrated Shlaer-Mellor OOA models. The Model Verifier
increases final system quality through simulated execution with model
debugging, completeness audits, model interpretation, controlled execution
rates and execution logging. The Generator reduces hand-coding and enables
design reuse through a pattern-based capture of system design and automatic
