AN EXAMINATION OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE OF SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Software systems have become increasingly important in many different industries due to the fast growth of
technology. This has highlighted the critical role of software engineering in creating and maintaining these systems.
Examining current software engineering practises, this study seeks to resolve issues that arise during development and
maintenance. The paper delves into the historical development of software engineering, present approaches, and
highlighted issues through a thorough literature review. We examine software engineering in different organisational
contexts using a mixed-methods approach that incorporates interviews, surveys, and case studies. Important insights into
current practises, typical difficulties, and the effectiveness of techniques like Agile and DevOps are revealed by the
findings. In this section, we summarise our results, draw comparisons to the current literature, and suggest some realworld
consequences for businesses and software engineers. This study adds to our present knowledge of software
engineering practises and also suggests avenues for further study and development in this area. If your company is
looking to improve its software engineering processes for more efficient software development and maintenance, this
study is a great place to start.
