Software engineering - Exam
  • 1. Software engineering is the systematic application of engineering approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. It involves the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of software products and systems, taking into consideration factors such as efficiency, reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Software engineers use various tools, techniques, and methodologies to ensure that software projects are completed on time, within budget, and with high quality. The field of software engineering encompasses a wide range of activities, including requirements analysis, software design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Software engineers also need to collaborate with other team members, such as designers, product managers, and quality assurance testers, to ensure that software products meet the needs and expectations of users. Overall, software engineering plays a crucial role in shaping the digital world we live in today.
