Introduction

Software Engineering is the practice of designing, implementing and creating software by applying the ideologies and principles of software development. Designing the software is usually done in groups (pair programming) and a common programming language (C++, java) is selected for development. Software is designed to meet certain criteria’s such as; it been reliable, efficient, affordable and effective and built to last. It has a systematic approach to the design, test and maintenance of the software by applying engineering toward the software.

Types of Software Engineering Practice

Agile Software Development is a group of software practice based on iterative development. It’s one of the most commonly used methodologies. The reason is that it allows for flexibility, quick adjustments to new ideas and is often a flat structure. The agile methodology has a couple of sub practice which are as follow;

XP methodology

Scrum

Waterfall

Software Engineering vs. Computer Science
