- Snippet from Wikipedia: Software engineering
Software engineering is a branch of both computer science and engineering focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software applications. It involves applying engineering principles and computer programming expertise to develop software systems that meet user needs.
The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of a typical software engineer workload.
A software engineer applies a software development process, which involves defining, implementing, testing, managing, and maintaining software systems, as well as developing the software development process itself.
