A design theory for software engineering
Context: Software Engineering is a discipline that has been shaped by over 50 years of practice. Many have argued that its theoretical basis has been slow to develop and that, in fact, a substantial theory of Software Engineering is still lacking. Objective: We propose a design theory for Software Engineering as a contribution to the debate. Having done this, we extend it to a design theory for...
متن کاملEngineering Design for Software: on Defining the Software Engineering Profession
1 J. L. Díaz-Herrera, Southern Polytechnic State University, School of Computing and Software Engineering, Marietta, GA 30060. [email protected] Abstract Since the mid-1980s, software engineering has been accepted as a formal field of study in academia. Software engineering education is maturing from specialized courses in computer science, to numerous Master's programs, and more recently to the...
متن کاملTheory-oriented software engineering
There has been a growing interest in the role of theory within Software Engineering (SE) research. For several decades, researchers within the SE research community have argued that, to become a ‘real’ engineering science, SE needs to develop stronger theoretical foundations. However, so far, the role of theory is neither fully appreciated nor well understood in SE research. Without a good comm...
متن کاملA Formal Representational Theory for Engineering Design
In the design of engineered artifacts, it is hypothesized that computations must be performed. Informal specifications must be converted into formal functional requirements and informal descriptions must be converted into formal parameterizations, so that performance can be computed. Such performance evaluations are developed for general set based mappings. The development includes, for example...
متن کاملDesign Artifacts are Central: Foundations for a Theory of Software Engineering
Software engineering is widely acknowledged to lack a foundational theory similar to other fields of science and engineering. Software engineering does have microtheories that address a wide variety of issues, such as the IEEE Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK). More recently, Jacobson et al. have developed the Software Engineering Methods and Theory (SEMAT) Essence Kernel as a ste...
