provide presumed real world facts that systems are guaranteed to operate correctly. Although software processes have existed for many years now‚ domain knowledge should be applied throughout every phase of the software development process. An appreciation of the assumptions underlying software engineering can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of structure and quality of work produced. Software plays an important role in business decision-making‚ and because of its growing importance

1. Can you explain the PDCA cycle and where testing fits in? Software testing is an important part of the software development process. In normal software development there are four important steps‚ also referred to‚ in short‚ as the PDCA (Plan‚ Do‚ Check‚ Act) cycle. Let’s review the four steps in detail. Plan: Define the goal and the plan for achieving that goal. Do/Execute: Depending on the plan strategy decided during the plan stage we do execution accordingly in this phase. Check: Check/Test

Evolution of Software The Early Years (50’s – 60’s) * This generation was characterized by Batch orientation‚ limited distribution‚ and customization of software. * In Batch Processing‚ the system handles an entire sequence of jobs together‚ often with little or no human intervention. * Also‚ as computers were not widely used at that time‚ only in scientific and military institutions‚ software could be highly customized since distribution was limited. Job mobility was low‚ and the
