Introduction
A software is a set of programs that instructs the computer to execute a task. A software process is a set of activities that involves both people and process. Software engineering is a set of theories, techniques, and tools and depends on two factors such as discipline and product.

In this session, we will learn the structure of a software process, different process patterns, and its various process models.

Types of Software
Generally there are two kinds of software used in a variety of products. They are: System Software: It is written to serve other programs. It refers to the files and programs that make up a computers operation system. Application Software: Application program is not involved in performing the task directly; instead, it uses the capabilities of the computer in performing a single or multiple tasks.

Product Line Engineering

Product line engineering is the process of studying the product family. It is also called product family engineering. Product family refers to the architecture of the product platform of an organisation. Benefits of product line engineering are: Improved productivity by as much as 10 times. Increased quality by as much as 10 times. Decreased cost by as much as 60%. Decreased labour needs by as much as 87%. Decreased time to market (to field, to launch) by as much as 98%. Ability to move into new markets in months, not years.

Activity

Assume that you are working in a software company.

Your company has bagged a project from a prestigious company.

You are chosen as the team lead for this project. The project has to be submitted within a short period of time. You realise that to submit the project on time, you have

to develop the process and test the methodologies

simultaneously. Which process model would you use in this scenario?
