Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [1] [2] [3] A practitioner, a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.
Software deployment is all of the activities that make a software system available for use. [1] The general deployment process consists of several interrelated activities with possible transitions between them. These activities can occur on the producer side or on the consumer side or both. Because every software system is unique, the precise ...
