Now-a-days optimization and testing in software engineering using traditional techniques has become a tedious task. In order to fasten this process, search based-software engineering (SBSE) techniques are introduced to solve real world large scale problems efficiently. SBSE techniques consisting of several algorithms can be implemented throughout the software development life cycle in order to deliver a more reliable product. This paper reviews the application of five major SBSE methods and the issues solved by different practitioners in the last decade. It also addresses the problems in the implementation of these techniques which are still open for further research.

1. INTRODUCTION
The term Metaheuristic is composed of two words, one is ‘heuristic’ which means ‘to find ‘ and it is prefixed by another word ’ meta’ i.e. ‘beyond, in an upper level’.
S. Voß et al. [2] defined metaheuristic as, an iterative master process that guides and modifies the operations of subordinate heuristics to efficiently produce high-quality
Programming statements in a low-level language will be close to natural language and will use standard mathematical notation.
1. Eclipse IDE acts as a debugger and as well as a tool for testing. In this there is a feature known as logcat.
As the world became more and more dependent on technology with each passing day, software automatically became an important organ for development. Since software is needed almost everywhere today, its development is a highly intelligent and precise process, involving various steps. Known as software development life cycle, these steps include planning, analysis, design, development & implementation, testing and maintenance. These steps go on to create the perfect software for clients. ”
Programming languages are vast and diverse in their numbers. These different languages use fundamental styles of programming called programming paradigms. These programming paradigms layout the particular design approach that a program will use to solve a problem or achieve an objective. Of the many different types of programming paradigms, some of the more distinguished ones are procedural, functional, logical, and object orientated programming. Recently the object orientated languages have been rising in popularity due to their ability to easily implement large programs. There are many different object orientated programming languages (OOPLs), among them are C#, Java, Ruby, and Python. This essay will compare and contrast two of these languages: Python and Java.
The importance of getting the software requirement right has made big difference to so many major projects in the IT industry. Many techniques and solutions have been developed for understanding and getting software requirements right first time in the software development life cycle, but fewer people are taking these techniques into account and this is the reason why most of the IT projects are failing. I define here how to get software requirements right and why it has become some important to get software requirements right.
The two programming paradigms we get is Object-Orientated and Procedural. To understand what they are we need to explain what each are and how they operate and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each. Now Procedural Programming languages are referred to as straight programming taking on a read from the top to the end method, whereas Object-Oriented programming use objects and classes. Procedural takes on applications by solving problems from using a top to down way reading the problem from the start and going through everything until the program is finished at the end (Eliason, 2015).
Shaw puts forth the hypothesis that research in software engineering should be characterized by research processes in other science and engineering disciplines which include research questions, results and validation. Highlighting related work, she mentions previous research efforts to characterize
The advancement of technology and the growth of user expectations lead to the changing environment in the software system development. In the consequence of changing environment, the developer usually faces the evolving requirements during the software deployment phase. The evolving requirements usually rise in the response to the changing of stakeholder needs or the missing part in the initial analysis. These changes result in the need of reconfiguring, troubleshooting, and even deleting the requirements. Most often, they
INTRODUCTION: Software has been part of modern society for more than 50 years. The software process is the foundation for engineering software. Within the context of his book, Pressman defines “A software process as a framework for the tasks that are required to build high-quality software.” [1]. This paper introduces and discusses some of the Software methodologies and issues. METHODOLOGIES RELATED TO WEB DEVELOPMENT: In Software Engineering, a software development methodology is a division of software development work into different phases with the purpose of better planning and management. The methodologies may include pre-definition of
Software testing has always been a vital step in software development process and is a very important technique used in quality assurance. A study proves that 30 – 50% of the project’s effort is put in testing and off this major part, a big piece is dedicated to developer’s testing. This developer’s testing is proved to be an efficient technique to detect and solve the defects in the early process of the development process. With this increasing popularity of unit testing, a number of frameworks supporting this testing has been introduced. [1]
Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects rather than algorithms, this may contain data in the form of fields. it aims to incorporate the advantages of modularity and
Evolution of technology has made the software systems complex requiring better methods to improve their quality and this can be done by applying the principles of Software architecture. Over the years, different ways and styles have evolved in this field helping us to understand the software systems. This paper examines and evaluates two of the earliest papers written in this field giving us an insight in today’s world. The techniques mentioned in these two papers have set a base for the developers of today to analyze and further evaluate the software systems.
Abstract—At the end of 20th century software industry started booming. From then, not only it has never looked back, but it’s continuously growing at a very high rate. Customers always prefer quality software products and hence software quality is at the heart of any successful business that develops software. Software testing enables once to quantify the software quality and hence testing has become an integral and very important part of the software development life cycle. There’s this saying that “humans make mistakes all the time” which should enough to conclude that the software developed by humans needs to be tested of bugs and intended functionality to ensure a high quality product and hence Software Testing plays an important role
There are so many features of Object – Oriented Programing. Among all of them main features are ,
Today’s world is full of rush and most of the women work independently to support their family. They have to work till late night. For such women, safety is the most important requirement. The security issue for such women comes forward because cases of harassment and rapes on those women are increasing.
