	Methodology (software engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In software engineering and project management, a methodology is a codified set of practices (sometimes accompanied by training materials, formal educational programs, worksheets, and diagramming tools) that may be repeatably carried out to produce software.
		One could argue that a (software engineering) method is a recipe, a series of steps, to build software, where a methodology is a codified set of recommended practices, sometimes accompanied by training materials, formal educational programs, worksheets, and diagramming tools.
		In this craft of software engineering, a certain amount of familiarity is necessary of best practices or similar such guidelines, while at the same time remaining flexible to personal styles or approaches to a problem.

	Software engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Software engineering is "(1) the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software, that is, the application of engineering to software," and "(2) the study of approaches as in (1)." – IEEE Standard 610.12
		Software Engineering is considered by many to be an engineering discipline because there are pragmatic approaches and expected characteristics of engineers.
		Experimental software engineering is a branch of software engineering interested in devising experiments on software, in collecting data from these experiments, and in devising laws and theories from this data.

	5. Software engineering methodology
		Software engineering methodologies are the framework that tells us how we should go about developing our software systems.
		The choice of which methodology to use in a development project is closely related to the size of the software system and the environment it is supposed to function in.
		The life-cycle paradigm of software engineering is sometimes called the "waterfall model", as it demands a sequential approach to the development process.

	The New Methodology
		Engineering methods tend to try to plan out a large part of the software process in great detail for a long span of time, this works well until things change.
		In software the amount of time spent in coding is much, much less McConnell suggests that for a large project, only 15% of the project is code and unit test, an almost perfect reversal of the bridge building ratios.
		This is particularly relevant to software because of the difficulty of applying measurement to software.

		In software engineering and project management, a methodology is a codified set of recommended practices, sometimes accompanied by training materials, formal educational programs, worksheets, and diagramming tools (see "thick" and "thin" methods below).
		Examples of methodologies in software engineering and project management include:
		Algorithms for Programmers 2: If it were possible to define a methodology precisely, it should be encoded in a program, and the computer should carry it out.
