Software Engineering Task
A Software Engineering Task is a software development task that is an engineering task that results in software systems.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be performed by a Software Engineer.
- It can range from (typically) being a Manual Software Engineering Task (performed by software engineers) to being an Automated Software Engineering Task.
- It can require a specific Software Engineering Practice.
- It can be subject of an Software Engineering Conference.
- It can include
- ...

- Software Engineering is the study and application of engineering to the design, development, and maintenance of software. Typical formal definitions of software engineering are: *"the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software".[1] *"an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production"
- "the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to economically obtain software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines"
- The term has been used less formally:
- as the informal contemporary term for the broad range of activities that were formerly called computer programming and systems analysis; [2] * as the broad term for all aspects of the practice of computer programming, as opposed to the theory of computer programming, which is called computer science; [3] * as the term embodying the advocacy of a specific approach to computer programming, one that urges that it be treated as an engineering discipline rather than an art or a craft, and advocates the codification of recommended practices.
