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)
