In software engineering, the laws of software evolution refer to a series of laws that Lehman and Belady formulated starting in 1974 with respect to software evolution. [1] [2] The laws describe a balance between forces driving new developments on one hand, and forces that slow down progress on the other hand. Over the past decades the laws ...
The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload. [5] A software engineer applies a software development process, [1] [6] which involves defining, implementing, testing, managing, and maintaining software systems and, creating and modifying the ...
Software intelligence is insight into the inner workings and structural condition of software assets produced by software designed to analyze database structure, software framework and source code to better understand and control complex software systems in information technology environments.
Engineering informatics is a reflective task beyond the software/hardware that supports engineering; it is a cross-disciplinary perspective on the nature of collective intellectual work. It thereby becomes critical that a consciousness of the use of languages and their implications in the storage and retrieval of information in a work community ...
Software engineering – application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is the application of engineering to software. [1] The ACM Computing Classification system is a poly-hierarchical ontology that organizes the topics of the field and can be used in semantic ...
The Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK), formally known as Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge, is a wiki-based collection of key knowledge sources and references for systems engineering. [1] The SEBoK is a curated wiki meaning that the content is managed by an editorial board, and updated on a regular basis.
Over the last 10–15 years Michael A. Jackson has written extensively about the nature of software engineering, has identified the main source of its difficulties as lack of specialization, and has suggested that his problem frames provide the basis for a "normal practice" of software engineering, a prerequisite if software engineering is to ...
The core principle of software diagnosis is to automatically extract information from all available information sources of a given software projects such as source code base, project repository, code metrics, execution traces, [6] test results, etc. To combine information, software-specific data mining, analysis, and visualization techniques ...
