Q Who is a Software Engineer? What is his role in software development process?
Ans) A software engineer is responsible for the implementation and design of a variety of software solutions. They may be involved in the design and testing of everything from business applications and computers games, to operating systems and advanced application software for the control of highly technical equipment and hardware. Once the system had been fully designed software engineers then debug, test, and maintain the systems.
The work undertaken by software engineers is usually of a highly complex and technical nature, and adds the application of computer science and mathematics in an environment which is constantly evolving as a result of technological advances.
Depending on the kind of organisation, software engineers will become either applications specialists or systems.
They increasingly require having knowledge of a variety of computer programming languages and applications; this is because of the wide variety of work that they will be involved in.
