Software Engineering

Major computer companies, such as IBM and Microsoft offer job employment for software testing. A large proportion of these jobs may be based in overseas locations such as India.

A use case is a list of steps used to achieve a goal in software and systems engineering. It defines interactions between a role (known as an "actor") and a system.

Yes there are websites that provide information on personal software testing. Some of these websites are 'Software-Testing', 'Wikipedia' and 'Software Testing Fundamentals'.

Ethnography is an observational technique that can be used to understand social and organizational requirement of software. An ethnographer or analyst immerse him/herself in the working environment where the system will be used

Each of the stages are separated by hurdles. The hurdle between the "unaware" stage and the "interested" stage is "awareness". At this stage what you need to do is make people aware of your product. How do you get people aware of what you're doing? How do you get them interested and wanting

A waterfall model would be a good approach for that type of project.

Iterative

There should be low dependence and high interaction between the modules. The dependence should be low so that the module can work in absence of another module. So, there should be low coupling ad high cohesion in software design.

Each of these new challenges will undoubtedly obey the law of unintended consequences and have effects (for businesspeople, software engineers, and end users) that cannot be predicted today. However, software engineers can prepare by instantiatinga process that is agile and adaptable enough to accommodate dramatic changes in technology and to business rules that are sure to come over the next decade.

There is nothing like a "best" software development model. However, let us how it has evolved. Conventionally, everybody was using the waterfall model, where you start with requirements gathering, then analysis and design, architecture, coding, testing and maintenance. All these were done sequentially. But then, the characteristics of software is different from something like a "building construction". There are different set of problems: 1. Requirements may not be clear. 2. Users may not be able to tell or the developers may not be able to understand, the "real requirements" 3. A particular design may not suite the chosen architecture 4. Users will "ask for more" when they see the software. 5. It is important we "attack" the most risky items first. 6. Testing cannot be an activity at the end. All these prompted a spiral model, or what is referred to as "iterative" and "incremental". In fact Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is being commonly used now is closely related to iterative and incremental process. For most of the modern software development efforts iterative and incremental process suits well.

Programs have many algorithms. At the start of the development process what a system has to do needs to be understood. That will lead to the design of those algorithms. Individual alogorithms have to be designed accurately. It is important that they work correctly so that diiferent parts of a program and a program as a whole works, and a system works. Any errors in the algorithms will impact on the functionality of the system.

Not necessarily. If the kinds of software they develop are similar, then having a single process model can be a good idea. If they are involved in a wide variety of types of development projects then some models might be more suited to some projects than others. A company needs to be flexible. So they may be able to classify the types of projects they do and apply the appropriate model to a particular type.
