introduction
The economies of ALL developed nations are

dependent on software. More and more systems are software controlled Software engineering is concerned with theories, methods and tools for professional software development.

Software.
Computer programs and associated documentation such as

requirements, design models and user manuals. Software products may be developed for a particular customer or may be developed for a general market. Software products may be
Generic - developed to be sold to a range of different customers

such as Excel or Word. Bespoke (custom) - developed for a single customer according to their specification.

New software can be created by developing new programs,

configuring generic software systems or reusing existing software.

Software engineering
Software engineering is an engineering discipline that

is concerned with all aspects of software production. Software engineers should adopt a systematic and organised approach to their work and use appropriate tools and techniques depending on the problem to be solved, the development constraints and the resources available.

The difference between software engineering and computer science


Computer science is concerned with theory and

fundamentals; software engineering is concerned with the practicalities of developing and delivering useful software. Computer science theories are still insufficient to act as a complete underpinning for software engineering .

The difference between software engineering and system engineering


System engineering is concerned with all aspects of

computer-based systems development including hardware, software and process engineering. Software engineering is part of this process concerned with developing the software infrastructure, control, applications and databases in the system. System engineers are involved in system specification, architectural design, integration and deployment.

Software process
A set of activities whose goal is the development or

evolution of software. Generic activities in all software processes are:


Specification - what the system should do and its

development constraints Development - production of the software system Validation - checking that the software is what the customer wants Evolution - changing the software in response to changing demands.

Conclusion
Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production. Software products consist of developed programs and associated documentation. Essential product attributes are maintainability, dependability, efficiency and usability. The software process consists of activities that are involved in developing software products. Basic activities are software specification, development, validation and evolution.
