Application software

The main success metric of a software system is the degree to which it achieves its purpose. Therefore, identifying this purpose must be one of the main activities in the development of software systems. At the same time, wide range of inconsistencies can arise during requirements engineering. Because requirements and goals are elicited from different stakeholders. Resolving such inconsistencies sooner is a necessary condition for successful development of the software. This paper proposes an…

Software architecture is the blueprint when developing a software system, and it can be regarded as a high-level design of a software system; it breaks the system into subsystems and components, and describes how these subsystems and components interact with each other (McGovern, 2004; Pressman, 2010). There exist four views from different stakeholders when designing a software architecture; they are 1) a logical view, indicating the core…

determine the price of each package, we approximated costs of producing each and set a revenue goal. The starter pack would cost the company $22 500 to produce 900 packs of the chips alone. Therefore, these will cost $40 in order to cover both the application and the chips themselves and make a profit. For packages of three, a goal of $1000 profit was set to sell 100 units, resulting in a price of $25. As for single…

Cook who wished to develop software that managed finances and taxes of individuals and small businesses. In 1984, the first financial program debuted- Quicken. With continuous feedback from customers, QuickBooks was established in 1992 following the releases of other types of software. The 1990s was the beginning of Intuit’s attempt to develop a user contribution system. As the years progressed, Paul Coletta, senior experience manager and Floyd Morgan, principal software engineer, formulated an…

The proposed software solutions should be fully developed and well-established electronic Student Advising and Planning (e-SAP) application system that address all major functionality expected of such a system for the advising office. The COBS gives preference to those solutions that are able to integrate with the university’s existing software solutions. Finally, the successful e-SAP system should enable and facilitate integration…

downstream and infrastructure (Delloitte). Information Technology Infrastructure Hardware might need upgrading if necessary. In any case, the hardware will have to be compatible with the software. For example if a company choose to have both GAAP and IFRS at the same time, it will need a larger server to run different software and larger database. Internal controls In the report of KPMG, it mentions that the internal control needs to be strengthening to comply with Sarbanes- Oxley Act and…

Life Cycle Most organizations use web applications through the use of the internet as part of their business process and functions to fulfill their objectives, business requirements and needs of their company. When implementing these applications, they have to make sure that security is a part of each step that they follow in the development lifecycle. If security is not implemented, then such software or applications, such as web server or web application, can be detrimental to the…

Access control enforcement is used within the context of UML to bring the idea to a better understanding of how this process could work in a popularly used application. This is done by using guarded objects that are commonly used in state machine diagrams, which are a type of behavioral diagram. A Guard object of state machines are usually shown with brackets, [ ], and used as a Boolean expression to express…

The benefit of taking software engineering is that it supplements people who want to be in the field of accounting, business, or finance. Software engineers that work for a company have benefits such as “health insurance, sick leave, and paid vacations” (Ferguson, 2003, p. 174). One of the top benefits for a software engineer is the high salary. Most of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) carries…

computers. At the age of 13, I began to focus more on my digital hobbies after a neighbor offered to assist me in learning the art of programming. During the next few years, he mentored me in software development using primarily C# with the .NET Framework. In that time, I created a collection of small personal applications and games as I experimented with code and concepts. At age 17, I became interested in interacting with the physical world through the digital one with the use of…
