The History of Software Engineering
From Wikipedia
From its beginnings in the 1940s, writing software has evolved into a profession concerned with how best to maximize the quality of software and of how to create it. Quality can refer to how maintainable software is, to its stability, speed, usability, testability, readability, size, cost, security, and number of flaws or “bugs,” as well as to less measurable qualities like elegance, conciseness, and customer satisfaction, among many other attributes. How best to create high quality software is a separate and controversial problem covering software design principles, so-called “best practices” for writing code, as well as broader management issues such as optimal team size, process, how best to deliver software on time and as quickly as possible, work-place “culture,” hiring practices, and so forth. All this falls under the broad rubric of software engineering.
