Revision as of 19:33, 28 October 2007

This is a list of topics that sometimes fall within the field of software engineering. It is also currently a place to brainstorm items which might, or might not, end up in the main Software engineering article. See also the List of software tools for software engineering.

Capability Maturity Model (CMM) - A set of guidelines from the Software Engineering Institute for assessing project maturity in the software development process, CMM classifies projects into one of five "maturity levels". Many U. S. government contracts awarded for software development require bidding vendors to use CMM guidelines.
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) - Also from the SEI, the CMMI updates and supercedes the CMM, which is now defunct.
Software project risk analysis
Project schedule estimation
Software project or process metrics
Code inspection
Software project failure analysis
Software project management
Software reliability
Software testing - including sub-topics such as:
- Software unit testing
- Software integration testing
- Software system testing
- Software Acceptance testing
Software Verification
Software Validation
Software life-cycle models
Design patterns
Software development process
SPICE - Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination
CASE tools and the guy who started the idea
requirements analysis
software design
code generation
static analysis
dynamic linking
ISO 9000 quality assurance process standard
Rational Unified Process (RUP)
