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)
