Study Notes

System Engineering

  • Encompasses all aspects of computer-based system development.
  • Includes hardware, software, and process engineering.
  • Software engineering is a subset of system engineering focused on software development.

Software Engineering

  • Develops the software infrastructure, control, applications, and databases within a computer-based system.

System Engineers

  • Involved in system specification, architectural design, integration, and deployment.

Software Development

  • A set of activities with the goal of creating or improving software.
  • Generic activities are common across all software processes.
  • Specification: Defines what the software should do and any limitations or constraints that apply.
  • Development: Involves building and producing the software system.
  • Validation: Ensures the software meets the customer's requirements.
  • Evolution: Adapts and modifies the software to meet changing user needs and demands.
