Portal talk:Software engineering

Perhaps this should be under "Computer Science"

Though software engineering is a part of computer science course, but its quite different. I feel software engineering is more about creating interface, application prog. while comp sciece is about everything. Like an umbrella..from h/w to s/w.

Stuff we must cover (please update):

Software crysis: why a Software Engineering
- Software myths

Software life cycle
- Paradigms (lots)
- Requisites analysis
  - Kinds of requisites
  - Bussines model
  - Use cases model
- Architecture
- Design
  - System model
  - OO Design
    - Patterns
- Implementation
- Tests
  - White box and black box tests
  - Unitary tests
  - Integration tests
- Delivery

Software teams

Risks
- Risks Analysis
- Risks Management

In one of my first year introductory software engineering subjects, my lecturer used an analogy that what a study of chemistry is to a chemical engineer, so is a study of computer science to a software engineer. Computer science forms the very core of software engineering but software engineering goes beyond what is taught in a computer science course (at an undergrad level that is). At my university, a Bachelor of Com Sci was a three-year degree, whereas Bachelor of Soft Eng was a four-year degree. --60.240.246.147 13:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
