Coming soon: a new SWEBOK Guide
Volunteers are in the process of refreshing the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK)--adding new knowledge areas (KAs) and revising others. For the latest materials available for public review as well as guidelines for reviewing, visit the SWEBOK V3 Public Review site.
Twelve KAs have completed public review:
- Software Engineering Economics
- Software Requirements
- Software Testing
- Software Construction
- Software Configuration Management
- Computing Foundations
- Software Engineering Models and Methods
- Software Maintenance
- Mathematical Foundations
- Software Design
- Software Engineering Management
- Software Engineering Professional Practice
The SWEBOK Guide:
- characterizes the contents of the software engineering discipline
- promotes a consistent view of software engineering worldwide
- clarifies software engineering's place with respect to other disciplines
- provides a foundation for training materials and curriculum development, and
- provides a basis for certification and licensing of software engineers.
