Software Engineering Basics

In university and colleges, software engineering can be a large part of the learning process. Today, we take a look at just why so much emphasis is placed on software engineering in schools, and what are some of the key learning points in it.

Software engineering is all about writing code in a structured and formal way, with the end goal of achieving greater readability and maintainability of code. To do this, the lifecycle of a project is usually divided as follows:
1) Requirements Gathering
2) Planning
3) Development
4) Testing

In this video, we'll take a look at each of these phases, and identify some techniques and best practices associated with executing them.
