The process of developing a software product using software engineering principles and methods is referred to as software evolution.

- This is a software, which works strictly according to defined specifications and solutions. The solution and the method to achieve it, both are immediately understood before coding. The s-type software is least subjected to changes hence this is the simplest of all.

This is a software with a collection of procedures. This is defined by exactly what procedures can do. In this software, the specifications can be described but the solution is not obviously instant.

This software works closely as the requirement of real-world environment. This software has a high degree of evolution as there are various changes in laws, taxes etc. In the real-world situations.

An E-type software system must continue to adapt to the real-world changes, else it becomes progressively less useful.

As an E-type software system evolves, its complexity tends to increase unless work is done to maintain or reduce it.

In order for an E-type system intended to resolve some business problem, its size of implementing the changes grows according to the lifestyle changes of the business

An E-type software system declines in quality unless rigorously maintained and adapted to a changing operational environment.

The E-type software systems constitute multi-loop, multi-level feedback systems and must be treated as such to be successfully modified or improved.

E-type system evolution processes are self-regulating with the distribution of product and process measures close to normal.

The average effective global activity rate in an evolving E-type system is invariant over the lifetime of the product.

This paradigm is known as software engineering paradigms; where all the engineering concepts pertaining to the development of software are applied.

It includes various researches and requirement gathering which helps
the software product to build. It consists of ___

Requirement gathering
Software design
Programming

This paradigm is a part of Software Development and includes –
• Design
• Maintenance
• Programming

This paradigm is related closely to programming aspect of software
development. This includes –
• Coding
• Testing
• Integration

It is easier to build a wall than a house or building, likewise, as the size of the software becomes large, engineering has to step to give it a scientific process.

- If the software process were not based on scientific and engineering concepts, it would be easier to re-create new software than to scale an existing one

As hardware industry has shown its skills and huge
manufacturing has lower down the price of computer and
electronic hardware. But, cost of the software remains high if
proper process is not adapted.

Always growing and adapting nature of the software hugely depends upon the environment in which the user works. If the nature of software is always changing, new enhancements need to be done in the existing one. This is where the software engineering plays a good role.

Better process of software development provides better and quality software product

What are the characteristics of a good software?

This tells us how well the software works in
operations. It can be measured on:
• Budget
• Usability
• Efficiency
• Correctness
• Functionality
• Dependability
• Security
• Safety

This aspect is important when the software is moved
from one platform to another:
• Portability
• Interoperability
• Reusability
• Adaptability

This aspect briefs about how well the software has
the capabilities to maintain itself in the ever-changing
environment:
• Modularity
• Maintainability
• Flexibility
• Scalability
