Software engineering
Software engineering is the application of a systematic,
disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation,
and maintenance of software, and the study of these approaches; that
is, the application of engineering to software.
It has continued as a profession and field of study dedicated to
creating software that is of higher quality, cheaper, maintainable,
and quicker to build. Since the field is still relatively young
compared to its sister fields of engineering, there is still much
work and debate around what software engineering actually is, and if
it deserves the title engineering. It has grown organically out of
the limitations of viewing software as just programming. Software
development is a term sometimes preferred by practitioners in the
industry who view software engineering as too heavy-handed and
constrictive to the malleable process of creating software.
Software engineering is related to the disciplines of computer science, project management, and systems engineering. Computer science : Software engineering is considered a subfield of computer science by many academics. Many of the foundations of software engineering come from computer science. Project management : The building of a software system is usually considered a project and the management of it borrows many principles from the field of Project management. Systems engineering : Systems engineers have been dealing with the complexity of large systems for many decades and their knowledge is applied to many software engineering problems.
Our objectives are to:
- Reduce software development costs and duplication of effort
- Increase software flexibility, reliability, and responsiveness
- Increase community participation
