	Software engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Software engineering is the profession that creates and maintains software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, engineering, application domains, and other fields.
		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.

		The field of software engineering supports a commercial software sector that $200 billion to $240 billion in the United States every year.
		Software engineering drove $1 of economic growth in the U.S. over last decade.
		About half of all software projects are by users who change their minds whether not the software engineers would have succeeded.

	Personal Commitment to Software Quality, A
		The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is offering teach-the-teachers training courses for industrial groups interested in introducing the PSP to their organizations.
		Economics is thus an important quality issue not only because of this test decision but also because of the need to optimize life-cycle quality costs.
		The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University.

	The 7th International Workshop on Software Engineering Economics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Software development is driven by economics, broadly construed, yet we lack economic models to describe and guide it.
		Such an economic perspective has the potential to improve many aspects of software development, which is an increasingly important goal as the information revolution continues to accelerate.
		While other forums address software business issues more broadly, EDSER seeks to foster discussions of and leading to research in which economic concepts, models, and tools are employed to advance our understanding, and improve the development, of software, software-intensive systems, and the technical organizations and processes that produce them.

		CASE stands for Computer Aided Software Engineering; it can be used to mean any computer-based tool for software planning, development, and evolution.
		The Empirical Software Engineering Research Group at Bournemouth University maintains a bibliography on OO metrics, originally maintained by Robin Whitty of South Bank University.
		Premise: The quality of a software system is largely governed by the quality of the process used to develop and maintain the software.

		To ensure dependability, the developer needs to use sound software engineering principles and best practices, as these are his chief means of of minimizing complexity.
		It is axiomatic that fixing software faults after the code has been deployed can be up to 100 times more expensive than finding and fixing the fault during development [8].
		His job is to improve the software processes of projects within the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Department (D70), and help the Software Engineering Process Office (SEPO) of SSC-SD improve the center's software maturity.

	COCOMO Software Cost Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The semidetached mode of software development represents an intermediate stage between the organic and embedded modes.
		The major distinguishing factor of an embedded-mode software project is a need to operate within tight constraints.
		The product must operate within (is embedded in) a strongly coupled complex of hardware, software, regulations, and operational procedures, such as an electronic funds transfer system or an air traffic control system.

		Boehm also created the spiral model of software development, in which the the phases of development are repeatedly revisited.

		In his book Software Engineering Economics (Prentice-Hall, 1981), Barry Boehm rigorously shows individual and team productivity to be the leading predictor in estimating software costs; it's twice as significant as product complexity.
		This is not to slight the decent, talented software engineers, the ones who study hard and work hard at developing and maintaining their skills.
		My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it is theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
