What Why How
What is Engineering ?

 Engineers identify a problem, and come up with a solution – often creating
something completely new in the process.
 Traditionally, engineering is about infrastructure. Engineers were known to create
bridges and vehicles that got us from A to B faster more efficiently. Now engineering is
acknowledged as a discipline that opens up opportunities and creates technology
and products that help make our lives easier.
 Engineers are shaping the future by applying their skills to almost everything you can
think of, from medicine to renewable energy, food technologies to sustainable mining.
There really is no limit to what engineers can do.

Solve a Problem.
Do Engineering.
We do research everyday.
But our eyes are closed hence we could not notice it.

Who am I ?
13
I may be any one of
these
Expert,
Thought Leader,
Researcher
I may be more
than one.
I may be all.
 I can see future challenges and emerging trends in testing.
 I have innovative ideas to influence business and community.
 I have in-depth knowledge and skill in particular area.
 E.g. Knowledge of Machine Learning
Who am I ?
14
 I know the problems, which need to addressed.
 I can systematically analyze the problem and find out the most
appropriate solution.

Knowledge and IT Industry
15
 IT industry is knowledge based business.
 IT project/product development is a team work.
 One has to collaborate within team/organization/outside-
organization to complete task/solve problems/write cases etc.
 In this process knowledge is generated.
Knowledge: Share & publish

Fallacy about Research…
You need a fantastic idea to write a research paper.
Greatest ideas are worthless if you keep them to yourself.
Spread your idea and get feedback, do research and publish.

What is detailed study?
 Systematic investigation of study of materials
 Conduct Experiments, Collect Data, Simulation, Interviews, Case Studies,
Modeling and …
 Analysis and reporting
Definition
A detailed study of a subject in order to discover (new) information or reach a (new)
understanding.

What is Research?
Method for Problem
Solving
 Gather information and
Study of research material
 Think of possible solutions;
Choose the best solution
 Implement solution; Gather
experimental data
 Evaluate results and make
necessary changes
 Repeat necessary steps.

General Approach to Research
23
 Identify problem/idea: Rationale behind why this problem is important; Is it a open
problem? survey of available solutions to the problem?
 Support the problem with theory (Literature study)
 Study and identify/decide the method to solve the problem.
 Develop solution/ alternative solution
 Do Experiments, Simulations, collection of Data etc.
 Validation of solution

Research Methods (1/3)
26
Case Studies
 Selection of cases is crucial.
 Case studies are used for investigation, experiments, confirmation of
theories
Controlled Experiments
 Experiments are conducted in controlled manner to reduce complexity.
 Few factors/variables of interest/critical are allowed to vary while keeping
other controlled/constant.
 One has to be very careful while selecting critical variables, otherwise
generalization of results will not be possible.

Ethnographic
 How designer community is adopting UML.
 How technical communities build a culture of practices and communication
strategies that enable them to perform technical work collaboratively.
Survey
 Questionnaire or Structured interview
 Select of representative sample from well defined population.
 Analysis of data to generalize/answer base-rate questions

Mixed Method Approach
 Methods discussed earlier are combined depending upon the problem
Action Research
 Implement, observe, modify
 Cyclic process

29
Research result Example
Procedure or
Technique
 New or better way to do some task such as design, implementation,
maintenance, measurement, evaluation, selection from alternatives
 Use technique to implement, represent, management and analysis
 Technique should be operational, not advise or guideline, but a procedure
Qualitative or
Descriptive Model
 Structure or taxonomy for a problem area; architectural style, framework, or
design pattern.
 Non-formal domain analysis, well-grounded checklist, well-argued informal
generalization, guidance for integrating other results, well-organized
interesting observations
Empirical Model  Empirical model based on observed data

What is Engineering ? 4  Engineers identify a problem, and come up with a solution – often creating something completely new in the process.  Traditionally, engineering is about infrastructure. Engineers were known to create bridges and vehicles that got us from A to B faster more efficiently. Now engineering is acknowledged as a discipline that opens up opportunities and creates technology and products that help make our lives easier.  Engineers are shaping the future by applying their skills to almost everything you can think of, from medicine to renewable energy, food technologies to sustainable mining. There really is no limit to what engineers can do. Reference: http://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/what-is-engineering
