Software Engineering

Dear All,   

         I am glad to inform you that I participated in short term training programme on “Software Engineering” at NITTTR Chennai from 13.06.2016 to 17.06.2016. Major topics covered in the course are

     1.      Introduction to Software Engineering
     2.      Software Project planning and Management
     3.      Requirement Analysis and Specification
     4.      Software Design, Coding & Testing
     5.      Software Metrics
     6.      Documentation

Formal Definition of Software Engineering: Application of systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.

Software engineering teaches how software should be constructed. The software engineering industry evolves faster than any other industry and of increasing importance to our economy and standard of living. It is a vast field. Its scope is extremely broad. It covers a wide range of professions such as scientific and numeric computing, ERP/HR and accounts, telecom industry, business applications, graphic designs, video game development, defense industry etc. So, software job became one of the most important jobs of today.

It is relatively young discipline by comparison with most other engineering disciplines. The main focus is on how to build and maintain high quality software systems in a controlled, predictable way. Software Engineer must have a sound knowledge of mathematics, science, economic and social issues to build software within given budget and time constraints.

I am very much pleased to be part of this course as it helped all the participants in understanding software engineering practices in the Industry perspective.

With Regards
