专业解析及就业分析

软件工程(Software Engineering)按照所处领域不同可以分为系统分析员、软件设计师、系统架构师、程序员、测试员等,但一般都统称程序员。
软件工程所涉及的领域不仅仅只包括程序设计,同时也侧重其作为一项工程的系统意义。准确的说来是:研究和应用如何以系统性的、规范化的、可定量的过程化方法去开发和维护软件,以及如何把经过时间考验而证明正确的管理技术和当前能够得到的最好的技术方法结合起来开发软件的学科。涉及程序设计语言、数据库、软件开发工具、系统平台、标准、设计模式等方面。日常常用的软件如电子邮件、嵌入式系统、人机界面、办公软件、操作系统、编译器、数据库、游戏等等,无一例外都是软件工程师的产品。
