Study Notes

Software Engineering Roles and Terminology

A software engineer designs, develops, tests, and maintains software systems, focusing on the entire software development life cycle.
A programmer, on the other hand, primarily focuses on writing code, whereas a software engineer encompasses a broader range of responsibilities.

Software Configuration Management

Software configuration management (SCM) is primarily concerned with identifying, organizing, and controlling changes to software systems, ensuring their consistency and integrity.

Modern Software Processes

The main focus of modern software processes is on improving the quality, reliability, and efficiency of software development, often through iterative and incremental approaches.

History of Software Engineering

Software engineering began to be recognized as its own type of engineering in the 1960s, as the need for a more systematic and structured approach to software development became apparent.
