Software engineering is a branch of both computer science and engineering focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software applications.[1] It involves applying engineering principles and computer programming expertise to develop software systems that meet user needs.[2][3][4][5]
The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of a typical software engineer workload.[6]
A software engineer applies a software development process,[2][7] which involves defining, implementing, testing, managing, and maintaining software systems, as well as developing the software development process itself.
