UNIT – I : INTRODUCTION TO SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Introduction to Software Engineering

Software Engineering is the systematic application of engineering


principles, methods, tools, and techniques for the development, operation,
maintenance, and management of software systems. It focuses on
building reliable, efficient, scalable, and high-quality software within time
and budget constraints.

Software Engineering combines:

 Programming knowledge

 Project management

 Quality assurance

 Testing methodologies

 Documentation practices

 Team collaboration

It helps in developing software in an organized and structured manner,


especially for large and complex projects.
