Software Engineering is a discipline focused on the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems. It applies engineering principles and methodologies to create reliable, efficient, and scalable software solutions for various applications, from mobile apps to complex enterprise systems. Software engineers use programming languages, tools, and frameworks to solve problems, improve user experiences, and meet business or technical requirements. The field emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and adherence to best practices to ensure high-quality, maintainable, and secure software.

Consider the size of an organic type s/w product that has been estimated as 32,000 lines of source code. The average salary s/w developers is 15,000 p.m. Determine the effort required to develop the s/w, the nominal development time and the cost to develop the project.
From the basic COCOMO estimation formula for organic software : Effort=2.4x(3.2)1.05=91PM
What are the ‘baselines’ with respect to software configuration management? What is the necessity of software configuration management in developing a software?
Software Configuration Management is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software, part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management.
What is Mutation Testing? Distinguish between White-box Testing and Black-box Testing?
Mutation testing is a method of software testing in which program or source code is deliberately manipulated, followed by suite of testing against the mutated code.
