Introduction

Software engineering is the “application of a

systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable

approach to the development, operation, and

maintenance of software”.

The term “Ontology” derives from its usage in

philosophy where it is defined as the study of

“being” or “existence”- all kinds of entities,

abstracts and concretes that make up the

world.

Schematic view of the software

engineering ontology

The software Engineering ontology

consists of

The software requirements ontology

The software design ontology

The coding ontology

The software testing ontology

MODELLING

NOTATIONS

Software engineering ontology class is a collection of specific project data with common characteristics that satisfy a restriction expression of the class.

The notation of software engineering ontology class is represented as a rectangle with two compartments. The top compartment is for labelling the class and the second compartment is used for presenting properties related to the class.

It is mandatory to specify the word '<<Concept>>' above the class label in the top compartment.

Testing Methodologies

Black box testing

White box testing

Black box testing No knowledge of internal program design or code

required.

Tests are based on requirements and functionality.

White box testing Knowledge of the internal program design and code

required.

Tests are based on coverage of code

statements, branches, paths, conditions.

Conclusion

Ontologies are expected to increasingly appear

in various areas as promising tools to improve

communication among people and to achieve

interoperability among systems. They also act

as improving agents for humans or software by

reusing a known data model or knowledge. All

these tasks deal with interoperability issues and

can be applied in different domains.
