Ian Sommerville's research work, partly funded by the EPSRC [5] has included systems requirements engineering and system evolution. He defined the process of Construction by configuration (CbC). A major focus has been system dependability , including the use of social analysis techniques such as ethnography to better understand how people and ...

[1] [2] Some like software engineer and author Ian Sommerville don't use the term "quality control" (as quality control is often viewed as more a manufacturing term than a software development term), rather, linking its associated concepts with the concept of quality assurance. [3] However, the three core components otherwise remain the same.
No Silver Bullet—Essence and Accident in Software Engineering" is a widely discussed paper on software engineering written by Turing Award winner Fred Brooks in 1986. [1] Brooks argues that "there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude [tenfold] improvement ...

The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", [3] but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial [4] in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference ...
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to software engineering: 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]
