Software Engineering

Section 1: Software engineering fundamentals
This section discusses the basic principles associated with software engineering 
and their execution within a software development venue. The fundamental prin-
ciples, practices, and doctrine are presented to establish software engineering as a 
professional discipline. Software product characteristics and software development 
strategies are discussed to stress the challenges confronting software development 
projects. Software engineering, as an organizational entity, bridges the notable dif-
ferences in outlook and perception that exist among technical and project man-
agement specialists. Therefore, this section addresses the integration of software 
engineering practices with project management responsibilities and other software 
development roles.
