Software Engineering: Continued Learning and Refinement Analysis

This assignment reflects on the student's learning journey in a software engineering module, focusing on object-oriented concepts and software development processes. The student discusses the importance of understanding object-oriented experiences, software development processes, and various approaches, including class diagrams, design patterns, and system design. The assignment covers three key questions, detailing the student's understanding of these concepts. The student emphasizes the need for continuous learning and refinement, including researching topics, evaluating engineering models, and applying design patterns. The student also addresses the importance of understanding different software development processes, pattern languages, and the differences between state machine and interaction diagrams. Furthermore, the student highlights the significance of fulfilling software requirements, analyzing information system models, and focusing on functional and non-functional requirements. The assignment concludes with a reference list of relevant sources used in the analysis.

Question1
In this model I have learnt about the concept of object oriented experiences, the need for
software development process and also have analysed several approaches that are necessary for object
oriented approach. In order to learn about the topics I will prefer researching on the topics more and
will evaluate in details the working of engineering model. This is important to have a clear knowledge
about object oriented databases. Each units of the object oriented approach needs to be understood
that includes understanding class, objects and messages (Khan et al. 2016). The class diagrams are
needed to be determined well and the need of small classes are necessary to understand. Once the
concept related to object oriented is understood it becomes important to develop a software that will
help in further studies. The enhancement in the study of this module needs to be implemented in such
a way that will help in proper designing software and the current model used (Ståhl and Bosch 2014).
After this the lesson learnt it is important to apply the design patterns on software development
projects.
Question2
I will continue to develop each lessons separately and will focus on the concept of object
oriented software approach and on software development process. The different type of software
development process are needed to be understood well so that it can be implemented in a right way.
This is also important to understand pattern language and its type that will help in this software
engineering module. In depth analysis is needed to understand and use the concept of system
designing using object oriented approach. Understanding the designs and applying the proper design
to the software is important (Kaplanoğlu 2016). This will help to design a proper software that will be
helpful in my further studies. The differences between the state machine diagram and the interaction
diagrams are necessary to be understood in order to have a proper knowledge and implement them
where required. Software development process are needed to be understood in a way that will be
beneficial and will help in developing other piece of software.

Question3
It is important to understand the concept of software development well to fulfil the need of
requirements while developing a software. There are successive phases for developing a software.
This includes preparing the requirements and objectives the design that will be needed for
development of the software. After analysing the information system models it is important to
understand the requirement and work accordingly. The ATM analysis model consistency is important
to determine at first level so that they can be implemented well in the software engineering (Dennis,
Wixom and Tegarden 2015). The knowledge of software development is important for every
development model. This are the basic requirement of engineering that are needed to be met. After
analysing all the topics in the module I will first focus on the functional and non-functional
requirements in software engineering. Once the analysis is done it is important to describe the
software development process briefly. The software development community will help me to develop
better and efficient project in the future.
