Cont’d It is majorly concerned with methods and techniques for developing large software. Philip(2007). He also defined it as a systematic approach to the analysis, design, assessment, implementation, testing, engineering of software, that is, the application of engineering to software.

Cont’d: Self-Definition Software Engineering can be defined as a field of engineering that involves the theories, techniques, and tools for developing quality software. In other words, Software Engineering be described as set of processes systemic approaches that lead to building/development of efficient effective software.

How Come Software Engineering? In the 1950’s and early 1960’s a kind of ‘troubled water’ erupted in the software circle. This called the attention of NATO in the late 1960’s. Meeting of the stakeholders in the software field was called to discuss what was called ‘SOFTWARE CRISIS’.

Conclusion of the Meeting The conclusion of the meeting to discuss ‘SOFTWARE CRISIS’, led to the establishment of SOFTWARE ENGINEERING.
They see SE as a field comprising software practitioners and guiding them by the rule of the game.

Software Products: Types Generic Software: Software Products that are developed for general use. They are regarded as Ubiquitous Software. Examples are MS-Office, Adobe Packages, Corel Suites etc. Bespoke Software: Software Products that are developed in a customized way and tailored for specific use. They are regarded as Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Software. Examples are AVERM (Adekunle Version of Exams and Record Management) etc.

Software Development Team: Who Are They?
System Analyst: Analysis the manual or existing computerized system with a view to modifying it. System Designer: This takes care of the architectural design aspect of the system, including the system model, interface designs etc. System Programmer: This handles the programming task of the project. He works hand in hand with the designer to design and implement the program.

Cont’d - SDT: Who Are They? System Tester: To ascertain the functionality of the program implemented, the tester comes in to test the flow, connection, relationship and communication among the various arms/unit/modules that made up the program. Overall, he also ensures the functionalities of the program. System Trainer: Though the functionalities of the system may have been rightly reviewed and reported by the tester, the users of the system can deny the report where the usage hits the rock. On this wise, it is imperative to bring in the trainer to over the formal delivery/deployment in terms of documentation, training and maintenance guidelines.
