Software Engineering

Section 2: Software engineering practices
This section identifies the six practices that contribute to the profession of software 
engineering: (1) software requirements analysis, (2) functional analysis and alloca-
tion, (3) software design synthesis, (4) software analysis, (5) software verification 
and validation, and (6) software control. Each practice is characterized by a num-
ber of tasks that every software engineering professional should comprehend. These 
practices establish a coherent set of tasks focused on the design and elaboration of 
the
 software product architecture.
