Information technology vs software engineering

Answer 1

Software Engineering: Software Engineering has come to mean at least two different things in our industry. First of all the term "software engineer" has generally replaced the term "programmer". So, in that sense there is a tendency to extrapolate in people's minds that Software Engineering is merely the act of programming. Secondly, the term "Software Engineering" has been used to describe "building of software systems which are so large or so complex that they are built by a team or teams of engineers", as was used in Fundamentals of Software Engineering by Ghezzi, Jazayeri, and Mandrioli. Yet, there is increasing evidence that many of the processes we have been developing for large groups of engineers also apply to the best practices of even individual engineers.

Therefore, for the purpose of the Software Engineering Yellow Pages (SEYP), Software Engineering is intended to mean the best-practice processes used to create and/or maintain software, whether for groups or individuals, in attempt to rid ourselves of the usual haphazard methods that have plagued the software industry. This would include subjects like Configuration Management, Project Planning, Project Tracking, Software Quality Assurance, Risk Management, Formal Inspections, etc.

Systems engineeringis an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how complex engineering projects should be designed and managed. Issues such as logistics, the coordination of different teams, and automatic control of machinery become more difficult when dealing with large, complex projects. Systems engineering deals with work-processes and tools to handle such projects, and it overlaps with both technical and human-centered disciplines such as control engineering and project management.

System engineering deals with all aspects of computer-based system development.

Software engineering is a part of system engineering.

System engineering is to identify the roles of hardware, software, people, database and other system elements involved with that system which is going to be developed.

Software engineering is to tell the practicalities of developing and delivering useful software.

Answer 2

Information technology is the entire field of applying in the business domain, the use of computers, networking, data distribution, and anything else which has anything to do with the collection, processing, and dissemination of information on stable infrastructures. Only minimal knowledge of the underlying actual computing technology is needed for IT work. Software engineering is the elite version of IT where an understanding of the underlying hardware, electronics, and physics is required to assess that the resulting product will not only meet functional requirements, but also meet timing, safety, reliability, security and fault tolerance requirements .If we make analogies to home building, the software engineer works on the foundation, the joists, the walls. The IT professional paints it the right colors. Okay, sometimes they help put up a wall..

Answer 3

Information Technology(I.T.) deals with the transfer of data(focussing on computers) and how we want it and so on and so forth. This is where internet comes in as a major player. All the big software companies in the world deals with I.T. Electrical Engineering focusses on Electricity... :)

Answer 4

Software is program which computer language only computer can understand.

Hardware is external devices which fully depend on software instruction and produce effective out come.

Answer 5

info.tech has 2 do with computer systems
