Software Engineering Tutorial – GeeksforGeeks

Software Engineering is a subdomain of Engineering in which you learn to develop, designing, testing, and maintenance of software using a systematic and structured approach. Software is a collection of programs. And that programs are developed by software engineers. The code of a program is written in any of various programming languages like C++, Java, Python, Django, etc.

In this Software Engineering Tutorial, you will learn all the basic to advance concepts like Software development life cycle, software project management, software model, etc.

Topics:

Software Development Models & Architecture:

Software Project Management(SPM):

Software Requirements:

Software Testing and Debugging:

FAQs on Software Engineering

Q.1 What are the various categories of software?

Answer:

  • System software (e.g. Operating systems, compiler, drivers, etc.)
  • Web and Network software (e.g. Gmail, Google Drive, Facebook, etc.)
  • Embedded Software: (e.g. washing machines, satellites, microwaves, TVs, etc.)
  • Artificial intelligence software (Expert Systems, pattern recognition software, artificial neural networks, etc.)
  • Scientific software (e.g. MATLAB, AUTOCAD, etc.)

Q.2 What are different Software Development Lifecycle Models?

Answer:

  • Waterfall model
  • Spiral model
  • Incremental model
  • Agile model
  • Iterative model

Q.3 What is Software prototyping?

Answer:

A software prototype is a working model with less functionality. The logic of the prototype may or may not match with the final software program. It is only available for a limited number of users to get their feedback.
